Tableau Administration Automation

Tableau Administration Automated!

Tableau Administration Automated | Tableau administrators and architects are challenged with replaying numerous workflows and scenarios to manage Tableau dashboards and assets, like migrations, data source management and content cleanup.  Here are some of the most common tasks we see administrators performing that can quickly and easily be automated without piles of Python scripts or custom coding:

  • How do I migrate and synchronize content across different Tableau instances?
  • What's changed across my Tableau production and QA environments?
  • We just changed our data sources to Teradata, how can I verify what data sources are now using this?
  • I'm moving a site to a new Tableau instance - how can I easily do this without cumbersome scripts and migration plans?

MetaMiner’s Architecture

1. MetaMiner Server
This component is the primary back-end of the MetaMiner environment that’s responsible for aggregating key platform metrics and processing BI asset metadata
2. BI Environment
Both SAP Business Objects XI3.0, XI3.1 and SAP BI 4.0, 4.1 and 4.2 are supported by the MetaMiner server. Using the MetaMiner Administrator tool, users are asked to identify the Central Management Server and Audit Database locations of their environment. It is from these two key components that the MetaMiner engine can perform its platform analysis
3. MetaMiner Repository
All metadata and platform metrics are stored in near-real-time to the MetaMiner Database. You may see this referred to as the “MMDB” in documentation or other Infolytik literature. The database itself can be currently hosted on Oracle, MS SQL Server or Infolytik’s embedded database, H2. The ability to use these flavors for your MMDB depends on your MetaMiner edition and license type.
4. MetaMiner Administrator
During the initial setup of MetaMiner, you must launch this application in order to provide a valid license key, identify initial environment(s) and establish and test required connectivities (MetaMiner Database and BI environments). The Administrator can also be used to configure the Diagnostic Center settings which allow MetaMiner to deliver system notifications and events to email addressed as needed.
5. MetaMiner Client
The client application is a high-performance, light-weight platform analysis solution that provides instant discovery of metadata and metrics across any number or version of SAP BI environments. For more information on its specific capabilities you can follow this link.
