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 am using Publish to Tableau server plugin in the Alteryx Designer.
I have a workflow which publish 2 output reports with the same name on 2 different site of the same tableau server.
I am using Alteryx Designer version(10.6.8.178.50). The same version is installed on two machines. On machine A it's publishing report without error. On machine B it's publishing report but giving error with message:'Duplicate table error'.
Any idea why is this happening?
First thing to check is that 'Overwrite' is selected on the output on the machine with the error.
I have two servers running:
The first one is a Jasper Server with multiple working reports.
The second one is a freshly installed SpagoBI Server.
Now the Jasper Server should not longer be used and the reports need to be migrated on the SpagoBI Server.
Is there a way to transfer/convert the reports easily?
My prefered (but naive) solution would be a simple ex- and import but unfortunately I haven't found such an option yet.
Another way that comes to my mind, could be using the clients (iReports/SpagoBI Studio).
With iReports I can access the repository of the Jasper Server but unfortunately I can't connect it to the SpagoBI Server.
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 have 3 different machines with Crystal Reports Server XI R2 installed. They are at different subnets pointing to different oracle databases with same schema definition but different names (dev, test, production).
I got a rpt file created on the development environment, pointing to the "dev" schema.
All went fine. The report executed successfully.
When i got the same rpt and published it in the test server, i could not change the datasource location. It appears that the rpt file keep fixed the datasource that was used in its creation.
Anyone knows how can i change the datasource of a rpt file, making it independent of database location and independent of the database used by the designer?
Thanks
I assume from the question that the different Oracle databases have different database names, but the same schema name - something like OperationalDB on dev, test and live? (It's more complicated if they have different schema names.)
If so, then it depends on what sort of Driver you're using.
If using an ODBC driver, then simply set up different ODBC sources (pointing to the appropriate database) with the same data source name on each of the Crystal machines.
If using a native Oracle driver, then I suggest editing the TNSNAMES.ORA file on each of the machines so that they each have the same TNS name pointing to the appropriate database.
If using a native Oracle driver and you are unable to edit the TNSNAMES.ORA file (for example, if it is a shared network file instead of being located on each of the Crystal machines), then you will need to change the datasource location in the Report Designer (or via the API, if accessing Crystal through one) each time you transfer a report from one machine to another.
