HPCC WDC for Tableau - Help
The HPCC/Tableau connector allows you to access HPCC based data from Tableau Desktop.
This connector makes use of the Tableau Web Data Connector API,
which facilitates creating local data extracts based on foreign data (HPCC data in this case).
The HPCC connector limits the size of the extract to 1000 records,
but also provides a mechanism for updating the local extract.
To connect, please provide the following information:
Protocol: 'http' or 'https' based on the connection type set up at the target HPCC System.
Server: The IP or DNS entry where your HPCC Systems' ECLWatch page resides.
Port: The port on which your HPCC System' ECLWatch listens (default is 8010)
UserName: Your HPCC account user name (if security enabled)
Password: Your HPCC account user password - Required by Tableau even if not used by HPCC.
FileName: Full HPCC data file name. If specified, filters the metedata fetch to a single file.
Incremental Field ID: Field ID which can be used as a key for incremental data extract updates.
This field should be a numeric, sorted(increasing) value.
HPCC Server versions pre-7.0.0 do not support Cross Origin Resource Sharing (CORS)
which might result in rejected requests from within Tableau.
