Tableau Settings

AtScale supports the following settings for configuring Tableau connections.

tableau.pgwire.client.protocol​

  • Default: postgres
  • Restart: No

Tableau connector to use when generating configuration (e.g., .tds files).

Supported values:

  • postgresql
  • postgres
  • pgwire
  • atscale_pgwire

tableau.connector.type​

  • Default: postgres
  • Restart: No

Tableau connector to use when generating configuration (e.g., TDS files).

Supported values:

  • cloudera
  • hortonworks
  • mapr
  • simba
  • atscalesimba
  • atscalesimbajdbc
  • postgres
  • atscale_pgwire

tableau.rawSqlAggs.enabled​

  • Default: false
  • Restart: No

When set to true, AtScale wraps metrics and calculations in the Tableau type-specific rawsqlagg_* function call, which prevents Tableau from aggregating data on the client-side when collapsing the hierarchy.

Important

If you use AtScale's calculation groups feature with Tableau, it is highly recommended that you enable this setting to avoid client-side data aggregation that will produce incorrect results.
