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.

Trying to copy data from PostgreSQL DB on an Ubuntu box that needs IPs whitelisted to access it. With Azure Data Factory IPs changing all the time and since i cannot install Self-hosted integration runtime as its a Linux server, what other options are available to be able to copy data from this PostgreSQL DB into an Azure SQL DB without having to worry about the IP addresses. Any suggestions or known solutions for this please?
Based on the document,ADF Self-hosted integration runtime can't be installed on the linux server,only could be used on the windows server.
BTW,this feature will also not be supported recently,please follow this feedback link.
the latest comment:Currently we don't have any plan on this yet. Could
you share us your reasons why do you want Linux?
As workaround,i suggest you get an idea of Azure DMS(Database Migration Service). Please see more detail about it from this link and this video.
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 found conflicting responses to this question. Is a Server license necessary for publishing a report from Desktop to the server or will just a desktop license suffice? I understand without a Server license you can't access reports already on the Server, but for one-time publishing, is a Server license required?
Thanks.
A Tableau Server license is not required according to this setup. This is a screen of the admin view when adding a user to a Tableau Server site. You need a user login but not a license.
As of Tableau Server 10.5, the "Unlicensed (can publish)" site role has been removed, together with the "Viewer (can publish)" role.
Hence, the answer is now unfortunately yes, you need a license (if you use the user-based licensing model on your server).

I want to create a panel (like cPanel) and I want to make it accessible by opening a port (serverip:2082 for example). I have created php files of my own panel but i don't know anything about linux services.
What type of code must I make and where can I put it?
Thank you in advance!
no offense, but if you really don't know about linux service you are 99% away from creating your own panel. You first need to understnad that Cpanel not only modify system files to allow hosting and managing database, but it also do all these without playing with system security.
But to start you need a web server that will host your Cpanel. I prefer it to be different from your webserver that host your website, reason? What if your default apache is inaccessible or crash, your panel will crash with it. Then you need to learn Mysql, or database you want to manage through panel, DNS binding, Name servers, regular expression to manage text files of configuration etc.
I know all these because I already built a Cpanel like application, and know it is not easy job especially with this level of question you asked.
Is there a CMS I can run on my MacBook, which can publish flat files to the remote host web servers?
I am going to look after a couple of community sites on a volunteer basis - these exists in various different web hosts. The price of hosted CWM, e.g. WordPress, is beyond my budget for each of these web sites.
What I am hoping is that I can run a CMS on my Mac, or Windows, and push flat HTML files of the various websites, to the remote web servers.
Based on research the closest to meeting the requirements is http://www.fogcreek.com/citydesk/; unfortunately this is no longer supported product - would anyone have alternate solution?
Not actually an CMS, but you could try Markdoc.
