Reproduce List & Label content in different environments.
I tried enabling List & Label API and use the methods, but input parameters need existing ParentFolderID, etc... which need to be explicitly created in server.
I am new with List & Label report server.
My requirement is to create all reports (data sources, etc...) in DEV server.
However to QA and PROD afterwards, there is a need to be able to 'export' all existing reports (data sources, etc...) from DEV.
My knowledge is more of Oracle BI Publisher.
In BIP server i have an option to download (zip) all the contents of a server folder (where i have all the reports) and i am able to log in another BIP server and upload the zipped file from original server.
This way i have exactly the same reports on all servers.
Is any sort of feature like it in List & Label report server?
Explicitly i need a kind of reports installer into List & Label report server.

Currently, there is no such feature. The suggested procedure would be to copy the entire database from Dev to Production if your're working with the Report Server on both ends. Would that work for you?
Other than that, if you're designing your reports from a desktop app and want to transfer them to the Server, you could use the REST API of the Report Server. Here is a blog post covering the basics of this API. The setup also contains a sample ("C# Client API Sample").
I have a Tableau Report which I have created on Tableau Desktop using Spark SQL Connector (Simba). I am using Databricks for Spark Execution Engine. The same report when I am trying to publish and view on Tableau Server, it is giving Driver/Access Issue (screenshot attached). I have admin access to Server though and server in running as well.
Do I need to install additional drivers on Server to get the same connected ? Apologies for my limited knowledge of Tableau Server.
Screenshot of Error
There are few experiences i want to share for the above problem :
Driver(Simba) needs to be installed on Tableau Server as well as Desktop.
Once you install the Driver on the server, re-publish the report on Server which needs databricks connection otherwise you will keep getting the same error. Tableau server only reflects/read the report published after necessary driver is present on server.
Version of your Tableau Desktop should be either same or lower then version at Tableau Server otherwise report won't be published stating version mismatch error.
Feel free to share your feedback/experience.
We are using the maven plugin org.sonarsource.scanner.maven.sonar-maven-plugin to store our reports to our sonar qube instance. For company reasons our CI server is in a different network zone then this instance and postgres default port is closed. I wonder if there is an option to store the reports in a different way then having them written directly to database via jdbc, as opening ports is a tedious task here ;)
Furthermore, we also have some older pieces of software that need to be analyzed with a local sonar runner instance and the same question applies here (so if there is another way to store the reports)
Since version 5.2 there is no connection to the database from the scanners. So the easiest/safest course of action here should be to upgrade to the latest LTS (at time of writing 5.6 )
Is there a Tableau Desktop executable inside the Tableau server installation.
I have a system where Tableau server in Cloud and would want to use Tableau Desktop in the same server? Is that feasible?
Tableau Server and Desktop are two different products and Server does not ship with a copy of Desktop.
They can both be installed on the same windows machine, but I would never do that except for trouble-shooting reasons (ideally you should install Tableau Server on a dedicated machine so that it does not have to fight anything else for resources).
Tableau Server lets you make limited edits to existing workbooks, but you can not create new workbooks directly.
However, if you want to install Tableau Desktop separately, on the same cloud server that hosts your Tableau Server, it may (or may not) be doable depending on the specifications of the cloud server.
The major difference between Tableau desktop and Tableau Server?
At my previous organization, we always had a desktop version installed on the VM running our tableau server. This was useful for making connections to data sources that required firewall rules since the VM's IP was static. Then extracts could scheduled for refreshes.
So yes, it is feasable, but like others, it is a separate product.
Please note: make sure you understand the implications of editing an existing view.
Workbook owner, project owner or site admin may grant you rights to do the editing. However, you will be overwriting the existing workbook (you can't "save as...")
Besides, the edit function on the server is limited to visualization (sheets) and doesn't work with dashboards (to be improved in the next release, as announced)
Tableau Desktop and tableau server are two different product.
Both have their different executable files.
Desktop is created for development purposes while server is created for more sharing and authentications purposes.
You can do some edits in server, but you cannot create a new dashboard on server.
As others mentioned, Tableau Desktop and Server are separate products and have separate executable. We used to have Tableau desktop installed on Server to publish extracts and manage our extracts which were developed using API
Another thought: Tableau Server provides permissioned users with the ability to leverage Web Authoring to create/edit server content. Web authoring has the same look/feel as desktop, and has most of the features.
Many go this route as it comes with your server license, so the additional desktop purchase is not necessary.
More Info Here
In my current project both Tableau Server and Tableau Desktop are hosted on sane server. You need to analyse the data volume, traffic to workbooks to come up with right RAM size. I would recommend minimum RAM of 25GB assuming close to 20 users accessing tableau server and there is not huge volume of data refresh or connectivity
The desktop version "inside server" is to create and explore licenses. If you have one of these, you can create a sheet/dashboard using the Tableau Server through your browser.
I am running shared hosting server for asp.net application. I want to support for crystal report on my server. So that users web application use crystal report.
Can any one know what is the procedure to support crystal report on the server.
Thanks
The report-viewer control (as of XIR2) is COM dependent. Your hosting company will need to support COM and be willing to run the installation package to ensure that the correct registry entries are created. I'm sure that there are licensing issues for this, not to mention the extra burden added to IIS for report processing. You may want to consider BusinessObjects Enterprise.
