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.

This setting is only applied when the query.language.sql.preventClientSideAggregation global setting is set to true. For more information, see Query Settings.

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.
