Description

connectorRequest enhancement

Hi,

I’m interested in using the Document API to update the connection type for .twbx files. I would like to update the following fields for a Hortonworks Hadoop Hive connection type:
• Server Name
• Authentication
• Realm
• Host FQDN
• Service Name

If this is not possible with the current version, I would like to submit this as a feature request. These are only the fields that I need, but all field options on the Hortonworks connector would be helpful as well.

It would be great if I could do this not only locally, but also with a workbook that is published on Tableau Server. The Tableau Server UI doesn’t allow me to edit the authentication type for a data source and I haven’t seen a way to do this with tabcmd.

Also, I tried to access the Examples link at the bottom of the Github page (https://github.com/tableau/document-api-python) and it seems like the link is dead.

Thanks for your help!

Alex
