Tableau - Additional Steps since Tableau 2019.4 ​

Context ​

Since version 2019.4, when users use filters containing fields computed in tableau (and not table fields), Tableau sends 'non-hive compliant' queries that result in error in Indexima.
As a workaround, Indexima created a TDC file. 
A description of this type of file is available here: https://kb.tableau.com/articles/howto/using-a-tdc-file-with-tableau-server.

Our TDC files are available here.

Procedure for Tableau Desktop users ​

  1. Download the files from the indexima dossier.

  2. Copy those files into the following folder:

    text
    \My Documents\My Tableau Repository\Datasources

Procedure for Tableau Server in a Windows environment ​

  1. Download the files from the indexima dossier.
  2. Copy those files into the following folder:
    \ProgramData\Tableau\Tableau Server\data\tabsvc\vizqlserver\Datasources

Note: To save the file, you must be a Windows Administrator on the server computer.

Procedure for Tableau Server in a Linux environment ​
