Tableau - Check Refresh Status (Deprecated)

Overview​

This Blueprint has been deprecated. Please use the vendor's "Trigger" Blueprint and set the "Wait for Completion" option to "True". Using this new option is free, more stable, and will complete faster. Read more about this change here.

Check the job status of a workbook or datasource that has recently been refreshed in Tableau.

Recommended Setup:

  1. A Vessel built with this Blueprint should be paired with guardrail retries. This will allow the Vessel to continually check for status until a final result is found.

  2. This Vessel should run immediately after a Vessel built with the Tableau - Trigger Workbook/Datasource Refresh Blueprint. With this setup, you can leave the Job ID field blank and this Vessel will check for the results of the recently created job.
