Before running the Tableau crawler, you can run preflight checks to perform the necessary technical validations. The following preflight checks will be completed:
Server REST API version
The Server Info REST API is used to fetch the restApiVersion
value.
β
Check successful
if the restApiVersion
is greater than or equal to 2.4.
Projects view capability
First, the list of projects in the Include Projects and Exclude Projects fields is determined. Next, the Query Projects REST API is used to fetch the actual list of projects for which the user has view capability.
β
Check successful
if all the projects from the first list are in the second one.
Metadata API
β
Check successful
β Cannot run the query because the Metadata API has not been enabled yet. Run the 'tsm maintenance metadata-services enable' command to enable the Metadata API or contact the Tableau administrator
User site role
β
Check successful
if the site role of the user is Site Administrator Creator, Site Administrator Explorer, or Server Administrator.
β Insufficient permissions, make sure the user's site role is Site Administrator Creator, Site Administrator Explorer, or Server Administrator
