Tableau Auto-refresh local on-premises Database/files on Mac

Question

I wonder anyone has succeeded in refreshed publishing workbook from local on-premises database/files on Mac? I am using Tableau Online and I made Tabcmd working on mac. But seems I need Tableau Data Extract Command-line Utility to do the job.

I do not want to use VMs or Windows machines as it may cause trouble for my database management, which I built with OS X. I also tried Wine/Crossover to run Tableau.exe on Mac, which did not work.

Any better suggestions? Please kindly help. Thanks!

Answer 1

It's not clear exactly what you are trying to do.

If you want to create a Tableau data extract programmatically, you can write a script or program that calls the Tableau Data Extract API.

If you want to upload something to Tableau server, you can write a script or program that calls the Tableau REST API
