Tableau Reader EULA on Using TABCMD GET to Generate.TWBX file

Satya Walpresa Jul 18, 2018 10:52 PM

Hi,

I just know that we can generate .twbx file to generate .TWBX file then Unlicensed user can open it with Tableau Reader.

Of course the next step is we can create a shell script or batch to automatically generate it and send to recipients email as attachment .

Im just curious if its against the license agreement or not.

Do we have some clearance on this? anybody use this method?

Thanks a lot!

Hi,

I'm intended to generate .TWBX using "TABCMD GET" function and make it automatic by using Batch file and sent the twbx file to users so users can open it with Tableau Reader.

my question is :
1. Is it a normal use? any user license agreement rule any kind of this activity?

Hi Satya,

Yes you can do that and it will not get any issue with license, but one thing is if the customer have desktop then they can able to see your own data.
You can use batch script and send to other people.
use any command line tool for this.
first get the workbook and then use command line tool to send mail.

Hi Rajan,

Thanks for the reply, have you read what Kemal have posted? Automated sharing of twbx files . Seems its prohibited but i think its a common thing many people use
