Mitto - Credentials for Tableau Extract

Runner
#1

I would like to create a Tableau Cloud Login Credential in Mitto so I can re-use this credential when creating a Tableau Extract Refresh.

I believe this requires a generic credential to be created (JSON).

What is the appropriate format for this JSON, could an example be provided?

Thanks

Hey Greg, in Mitto v2.9 you can use the Tableau Extract Refresh plugin wizard to create Tableau Server/Cloud credentials:

You can also use a generic credential with this structure:

{
  "server_url": "",
  "site": "",
  "username": "",
  "password": ""
}

I assume credentials can be referenced and used by other extract refresh jobs, however, I renamed my credentials and now I get an error “plugin: The selected credentials are invalid”. But they work with the original refresh job. Any ideas what could be causing this error?

Hey Weston, my assumption is that you are getting this error when trying to create a new extract refresh job and referencing the renamed credential? If so, I was able to recreate the issue and it appears that this may be a bug. Could you file a support ticket and include your findings/steps you followed to get to the error, and mitto instance? Thanks!
