COZYROC Tableau components, part of COZYROC SSIS+ suite, are third-party plug-ins for Microsoft SSIS that make it easy to integrate or migrate data to and from Tableau. You can use any application, service or database supported by SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) or COZYROC’s toolkit as the source for a Tableau Data Extract (TDE) file. The toolkit is easy to use and follows the same guidelines and principles used by the standard out-of-the-box SSIS components.
The Tableau integration package consists of:
Overview
Configuration is provided for establishing connections with Tableau Server via its REST API. The configuration is used in the REST Connection Manager.
Demonstration
Quick Start
In this guide, we will show you how to create a connection to Tableau service using COZYROC's REST Connection Manager.
Step 1. Run "Visual Studio".
Step 2. Right click on "Connection Managers" tab and select "New Connection..."
Step 3. In "Add SSIS Connection Manager" scroll down and select "REST connection manager" and click "Add..."
Step 4. From Configuration combo box select "Tableau".
Step 5. Enter server host parameter.
Step 6. Enter user name parameter.
Step 7. Enter password parameter.
- site - If you are connecting to "Tableau Online", the site parameter is mandatory. For on-premise server it is optional and when empty the result is identical to specifying the Default site.
- impersonateId - The LUID of a user to sign in as. For impersonation when a system administrator signs in with user name and password.
Step 7. Click "Test Connection" to test your connection.
Congratulations! You have now established a connection to your Tableau instance.
In this guide, we will show how to read data from the Tableau service resource using COZYROC REST Source component.
Step 1. Select existing "Data Flow task" or create new "Data Flow Task".
Step 2. Open "SSIS Toolbox" and drag and drop COZYROC "REST Source" component.
Step 3. Double click on "REST Source" component and select Tableau connection from the combo. Select from available Tableau resources listed in the second combo below.
Optionally you can include extra parameters in the grid below if needed.
Step 4. Click on "Columns tab" and select Tableau resource columns you want to read.
Step 5. Click Preview to make sure all necessary resource columns are included.
Bravo! You have now learned how to read data from Tableau service.
In this guide, we will show how to write data to Tableau service resource using COZYROC REST Destination component.
Step 1. Select existing "Data Flow task" or create new "Data Flow Task".
Step 2. Open "SSIS Toolbox" and drag and drop COZYROC "REST Destination" component.
Step 3. Double click on "REST Destination" component and select Tableau connection from the combo. Also, select resource action and the Tableau resource you want to work on.
Step 4. Click on "Mapping" tab and map the input columns for the process you are configuring.
If you want to provide input for other resource composite objects, change the input above and map the columns.
Done. You have now learned how to write data into a Tableau resource.
In this guide, we will provide steps to upload a Tableau TDE file to a server. For novice users, we recommend you first review "Push data to service" guide.
You can upload a Tableau TDE file either to a "Data Source" or "Workbook" resource. This guide will show the "Data Source" use and the process will be similar for the other resource.
Step 1. You have to provide input for the following required columns:
- name - name of the data source.
- project.id - project identifier.
- content - the TDE file content. Use the standard "Import Column" transformation to load the file content into a data flow column. Here you can find one reference how to configure the "Import Column" transformation.
Step 2. Set the Tableau connection.
Step 3. Set the resource to "Data Source".
Step 4. Set the action to Create.
Step 5. Set batch size to 1.
Step 6. Click on the "Mapping" tab and connect the required input columns.

Overview
The Tableau Source Component is an SSIS Data Flow Component for consuming data from a Tableau .hyper file (i.e. the latest evolution of Tableau Data Extract). The configuration parameters are provided in the standard Data Flow Component dialogs.
To use this component you will need to download Hyper API package for .NET and then extract the contents of the lib sub-folder to C:\Program Files (x86)\COZYROC\SSIS\TDE64\.
Please note that Hyper API supports only 64-bit machines and applications. Thus, the design-time support is not available in any 32-bit Visual Studio (i.e. only Visual Studio 2022 can be used to set up the metadata).
Quick Start
In this section we will show you how to read data from a HYPER file using the Tableau Source component.
Step 1. In the SSIS Toolbox, locate the COZYROC's Tableau Source component and drag it onto the Data Flow canvas.
Step 2. Right click on Connection Managers tab and select New File Connection.
Step 3. Browse to select the file you want and click OK.
Step 4. Double-click on the component on the canvas. Once the component editor opens, select the Connection Manager you just created.
Step 5. Click on the Component Properties and go to the Custom Properties. In the SourceTable drop-down menu specify a table and click the Refresh button.
Step 6. Click on the Column Mappings to check the mappings and click OK.
Congratulations! You have successfully configured the Tableau Source component.
