Tableau Cloud doesn't support this option and files must be packaged with the flow on publish. For more information about working with incompatible flows, see Version Compatibility with Tableau Prep (Link opens in a new window).įlows that include input or output steps with connections to a network share require safe listing. To run your flow in Tableau Server, you need to take the appropriate actions to make the flow compatible. Note: To schedule flows to run on Tableau Server, you must be using Tableau Server version 2019.1 or later and Tableau Prep Conductor must be enabled. When you publish the flow, you would see a message similar to the following: You can still publish flows from Tableau Prep Builder that include connectors or features that aren't yet supported in your version of Tableau Server, but you can't schedule them to run.įor example, the SAP HANA connector was introduced in Tableau Prep Builder version 2019.1.4 but this connector isn't supported until Tableau Server version 2019.2 for Tableau Prep Conductor. Flows created on the web are always compatible with the server version they are created on.

Verify that your flow doesn't include input connectors or features that aren't compatible with your version of Tableau Server. Errors in the flow are identified by a red exclamation mark and a red dot with an Errors indicator in the upper right corner of the canvas. Verify that there are no errors in the flow.įlows that contain errors will fail when you try to run them in Tableau Server or Tableau Cloud. To make sure that you can run your flow, check the following: For information about running flows, see Run your Flow. Flows created or edited on the web (version 2020.4 and later) must first be published before they can be run.įor information about publishing flows on the web, see Publishing flows in the Tableau Server (Link opens in a new window) or Tableau Cloud (Link opens in a new window) help. You can also manually run individual flows on the server. Publish your flows to Tableau Server or Tableau Cloud to share them with others or automatically run them on a schedule and refresh the flow output using Tableau Prep Conductor. It is only required (with Tableau Prep Conductor enabled) if you plan to run your flows on a schedule. Important: Starting in version 2020.4.1, Data Management is no longer required to publish your flows to Tableau Server or Tableau Cloud, or run flows manually on the web.
