Enable Tableau metadata API

You can enable the Tableau metadata API if you want to ingest Tableau 2020.2 or newer in Data Catalog.

Note Make sure that the Tableau metadata API is enabled in Tableau before you ingest or synchronize Tableau in Data Catalog.

Warning If you upgrade to Tableau version 2020.2 or newer, but previously synchronized an older Tableau version via the REST API and XML mapping, you have to prepare the migration procedure to prevent losing manually added relations, attributes, tags, comments and stitching results.
