Filemaker Data Issue

tableaucommunity@tableau.com — Wed, 29 Jul 2015 22:49:45 GMT

I am trying to connect Filemaker 13 with Tableau 8.2,8.1 using ODBC. I am able to connect but when I am writing any SQL or just dragging any table to the editor, Its able to fetch the column names of the table but not the data. For data its giving me syntax error "Enclosing the snapshot".

In the above snapshot, I am able to browse tables and get the "Candidate" Table. Its showing me all the columns of the table but when I click "Update Now" button, it giving me the above error.

I tried to use the same odbc with "Toad Client", I am able to get the data with the same ODBC.

Please suggest.

Thanks

Tableau server and wordpress

tableaucommunity@tableau.com — Thu, 11 Sep 2014 06:07:14 GMT

Hi Experts,

I am working on a wordpress website where I have to setup a trusted connection to the tableau server using php. I followed the tableau examples and it was working fine outside wordpress..

In wordpress, I can't find how to use PECL_HTTP so below command

http_parse_message(http_post_fields("http://$wgserver/trusted", $params))->body;

is not working. I have figured out that wordpress have wp_remote_post method that I can use. When I am using this method, its always returns me -1

I have added my server ip in the trusted list.

Please help

<?php

if ( is_user_logged_in() ) {

$GLOBALS['TABLEAU_SERVER_IP'] = 'http://xx.xx.xxx.xx';

$fields= array(

'username' => 'tableauuser',

'client_ip' => 'yy.yy.yyy.yy'

);

echo wp_remote_retrieve_header(wp_remote_post("http://xx.xx.xxx.xx/trusted",$fields));

}

Filemaker string fields as NULL

tableaucommunity@tableau.com — Tue, 26 Aug 2014 12:27:55 GMT

Hi Experts,

I have connected tableau using filemaker odbc drivers. Now I am facing issue that all the string fields in filemaker are populating as NULL in tableau.

I Tried to used toad for connecting the odbc, I can able to see proper values in toad, so the problem is with tableau connection only.

Appreciate your expert advice.
