Tabcmd utility

The tabcmd utility is a command-line interface provided by Tableau, which enables you to automate administrative tasks on Tableau Cloud or Tableau Server. You can interact with Tableau Server or Tableau Online without relying on the Tableau user interface. With this utility, you can perform the following tasks:
  • Create or delete users, projects, and groups
  • Manage permissions and
  • Publish workbooks and data sources
  • Schedule extract refreshes
Important:
  • You must install the tabcmd utility on all nodes of a Snaplex where your Tableau pipelines are running.

  • The latest tabcmd versions support login using both Personal Access Tokens (PAT) and traditional usernames/passwords. Learn more.

  • Openjdk11
  • The SnapLogic® Platform runs on Java 11; therefore, to run the tabcmd utility, you must ensure the Java 11 version exists in your system. Ensure you have installed tabcmd in the Snaplex where your pipelines will run. If you have multiple Snaplexes, all of them must have the tabcmd installed.
