Tableau Server Upgrade and Migrations

Tableau Server Upgrade

Moving to a new version of Tableau?

As new features are released in the Tableau Enterprise platform, it becomes essential to leverage them but maintain continuity of your existing Tableau production system. How do we carry out a Tableau upgrade with minimal downtime in the fastest way possible that maintains the integrity of the system? Here are some other thoughts to consider that MetaMiner solves for:

How can I test in parallel workbooks against my existing Production environment in Tableau 2019.4 and in a newer Tableau 2021.1 ?
I want to visually migrate contents site-by-site or project-by-project - what's the simplest way to do that?
Has performance stayed the same or improved in the newer version of Tableau I just upgraded to?
How can I be sure that all my workbooks run successfully in the new version - can I automate the functional and performance testing of Tableau workbooks?

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.
