Extract encryption at rest is a data security feature that allows you to encrypt .hyper extracts while they are stored on Tableau Server. For more information, see Extract Encryption at Rest(Link opens in a new window).
The extract encryption mode is set at the site level. To set the mode, use the Create Site or Update Site methods with the extractEncryptionMode
attribute. The extract encryption modes are:
To get the site extract encryption mode, use the Query Site method, which shows the extractEncryptionMode
attribute in its response body.
When the site extract encryption mode is set to enforced, all content is encrypted. You can use the reencrypt-extracts method to reencrypt all extracts on a site.
When the site extract encryption mode is set to enabled, users can decide to encrypt or decrypt the extracts associated with specific published workbooks or data sources. To do this, use the Publish Data Source, Publish Workbook, Update Data Source, or Update Workbook methods with the encryptExtracts
attribute. Set the encryptExtracts
attribute to true to encrypt the extracts. The user must be the owner or administrator. To get the extract encryption status, use the Query Data Source or Get Workbook methods, which show the encryptExtracts
attribute in the response body.
When the site extract encryption mode is set to enabled, the owner or administrator can encrypt, decrypt, and reencrypt all extracts associated with workbooks or data sources on a site.
When the site extract encryption mode is set to disabled, all encrypted extracts will be decrypted. Depending on the number and size of extracts, this operation may consume significant server resources.
Creates a custom schedule for an extract refresh on Tableau Cloud.

Request Attributes
All request attributes are required to create a custom schedule for an extract refresh.
extractRefresh type
enumeration: The type of extract refresh being scheduled. Valid values include:
FullRefresh
IncrementalExtract
workbook id
datasource id
LUID: The LUID of the workbook or datasource that is the target of the custom schedule. schedule frequency
(Required to create subscription) enumeration: The scheduled frequency for triggering the task. Valid values include:
frequencyDetails start
(Required to create subscription) time: If the schedule frequency is Daily, Weekly, or Monthly
, then start
is the time of day on which scheduled jobs should run. If the frequency is Hourly
, then start
is the beginning of the time range during which jobs should be started. The valid format is HH:MM:SS
. frequencyDetails end
(Required to create subscription) time: If the schedule frequency is Hourly
, or Daily
with an interval of hours
less than 24
, then end
is the time of day on which scheduled jobs should stop being run. The valid format is HH:MM:SS
. Time should be specified in 5 minute increments and the difference between start and end times should be increments of 60 minutes. For example, a valid frequencyDetail
would be:
<frequencyDetail start="20:45:00" end="21:45:00">
  . . .Â
</frequencyDetail>
interval {interval type}
(Required to create subscription) string: Defines when and how often a scheduled job executes within the time parameters set in the start
and end
values of the frequencyDetails
of the schedule
. The type and valid values for an interval expression depend on the declared frequency
of the schedule
as follows:
Frequency Valid interval values Hourly
The value of an interval for an Hourly
schedule can be only one of either:
hours=â1"
The number of hours between jobs. 1
is the only valid value.minutes=â60"
The number of minutes between jobs. 60
is the only valid value.weekDay=âweekday"
The weekday(s) the job will be run on. Valid values are: Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday
.
For example, to schedule to run a job every hour on Sunday and Wednesday, during the time range specified in frequencyDetails
use an interval like:
<intervals>
  <interval hours="1"/>
  <interval weekDay="Sunday"/>
  <interval weekDay="Wednesday"/>
<intervals>
Daily
The value of Daily
can have multiple weekday
elements, but only one hours
declaration. An hours
interval is required.
hours=âinterval"
The interval between execution of jobs on the weekday(s) specified. Valid values are 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, or 24
. Note that if the interval
value of a daily schedule is less than 24
, a frequencyDetail end
time must be supplied.weekDay=âweekday"
The weekday(s) the job will be run on. Valid values are: Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, or Saturday
.
For example, to schedule to run a job every 4 hours on Sunday and Wednesday, during the time range specified in frequencyDetails
use an interval like:
<intervals>
  <interval hours="4"/>
  <interval weekDay="Sunday"/>
  <interval weekDay="Wednesday"/>
<intervals>
Weekly
weekDay=âweekday"
The day of the week the schedule should run on. You can only specify a single day for a Weekly schedule. Valid values are: Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, or Saturday.
Monthly
The day(s) of the month a job should be scheduled to run on. There are two ways to define a monthly interval:
Specify the day(s) using the number of the day in the month;
monthDay=âday"
The number of the day of the month. Valid values are the whole numbers 1
to 31
or LastDay
. If you specify monthDay
by day number then you can use multiple interval
instances to choose for the job to run on multiple days in the month. If you use LastDay
then only one instance of interval
can be used in the schedule to specify the last day of the month.Specify the day by describing which occurrence of a weekday within the month.
monthDay=âoccurrence_of_weekday" Weekday=âweekday"
The occurrence of the specified weekday within the month when a job should be run. Valid values for occurrencee_of_weekday
are First, Second, Third, Fourth, Fifth, or LastDay
. Valid values for weekday
are Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, or Saturday
. If the value is lastDay
then the job will run on the last occurrence of the specified weekday in the month.
For example, to make a schedule that that would run a job on the third Thursday of each month, you would use:
<interval monthDay="Third" weekDay="Thursday"/>

Create extracts for all embedded data sources of a workbook. Optionally, encrypt the extracts if the site and workbook using them are configured to allow it.
When you create an extract for a data source in a workbook, the extract is available only to the workbook and may have configuration specific to the workbook, such as hiding of unused fields.
You can create workbook extracts for both embedded and published data sources used by the workbook. When you create a workbook data source for a published data source, then refreshing the workbook extract will retrieve any changes to data from the published datasource, or from the published data source's extract if it is using one.
Note: This method will fail and result in an error if your Server Administrator has disabled the RunNow setting for the site. For more information, see Tableau Server Settings(Link opens in a new window).

Runs the specified extract refresh task.
Note: This method will fail and result in an error if your Server Administrator has disabled the RunNow setting for the site. For more information, see Tableau Server Settings(Link opens in a new window).
This method runs the scheduled task for the data source extract or the published workbook that connects to the data extract. You must first schedule the task for the extract refresh. You can do this using the Create Schedule method to create the task. To get information about the extract refresh task, use the Get Extract Refresh Tasks method, which returns the extractRefresh ID that you use as the task-id.
Note: This method doesn't work for scheduled tasks associated with virtual connection extracts.
The method adds the refresh task to the backgrounder queue. Depending upon the backgrounder load, the task might not run immediately. The method returns information about the backgrounder job responsible for running the extract refresh task, including a job id that can be used with the Query Job method to query the status of the extract refresh.
An extract refresh task can be initiated by a REST API call, a tabcmd command, or a job calling the task on a schedule. A REST request to start a refresh task will fail if the task has been put in the task queue in any of these ways, or is already in progress.

Request Attributes
All request attributes are optional to update a custom schedule for a subscription.
extractRefresh type
enumeration: The type of extract refresh being scheduled. Valid values include:
FullRefresh
IncrementalRefresh
workbook id
datasource id
LUID: The LUID of the workbook or datasource that is the target of the custom schedule. schedule frequency
enumeration: The scheduled frequency for triggering the extract refresh. Valid values include:
frequencyDetails start
time: If the schedule frequency is Daily, Weekly, or Monthly
, then start
is the time of day on which scheduled jobs should run. If the frequency is Hourly
, then start
is the beginning of the time range during which jobs should be started. The valid format is HH:MM:SS
. frequencyDetails end
time: If the schedule frequency is Hourly
, or Daily
with an interval of hours
less than 24
, then end
is the time of day on which scheduled jobs should stop being run. The valid format is HH:MM:SS
. Time should be specified in 5 minute increments and the difference between start and end times should be increments of 60 minutes. For example, a valid frequencyDetail
would be:
<frequencyDetail start="20:45:00" end="21:45:00">
    . . .Â
</frequencyDetail>
interval {interval type}
string: Defines when and how often a scheduled job executes within the time parameters set in the start
and end
values of the frequencyDetails
of the schedule
. The type and valid values for an interval expression depend on the declared frequency
of the schedule
as follows:
Frequency Valid interval values Hourly
The value of an interval for an Hourly
schedule can be only one of either:
hours=â1"
The number of hours between jobs. 1
is the only valid value.minutes=â60"
The number of minutes between jobs. 60
is the only valid value.weekDay=âweekday"
The weekday(s) the job will be run on. Valid values are: Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday
.
For example, to schedule to run a job every hour on Sunday and Wednesday, during the time range specified in frequencyDetails
use an interval like:
<intervals>
  <interval hours="1"/>
  <interval weekDay="Sunday"/>
  <interval weekDay="Wednesday"/>
 <intervals>
Daily
The value of Daily
can have multiple weekday
elements, but only one hours
declaration. An hours
interval is required.
hours=âinterval"
The interval between execution of jobs on the weekday(s) specified. Valid values are 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, or 24
. Note that if the interval
value of a daily schedule is less than 24
, a frequencyDetail end
time must be supplied.weekDay=âweekday"
The weekday(s) the job will be run on. Valid values are: Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, or Saturday
.
For example, to schedule to run a job every 4 hours on Sunday and Wednesday, during the time range specified in frequencyDetails
use an interval like:
<intervals>
  <interval hours="4"/>
  <interval weekDay="Sunday"/>
  <interval weekDay="Wednesday"/>
<intervals>
Weekly
weekDay=âweekday"
The day of the week the schedule should run on. You can only specify a single day for a Weekly schedule. Valid values are: Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, or Saturday.
Monthly
The day(s) of the month a job should be scheduled to run on. There are two ways to define a monthly interval:
Specify the day(s) using the number of the day in the month;
monthDay=âday"
The number of the day of the month. Valid values are the whole numbers 1
to 31
or LastDay
. If you specify monthDay
by day number then you can use multiple interval
instances to choose for the job to run on multiple days in the month. If you use LastDay
then only one instance of interval
can be used in the schedule to specify the last day of the month. For example, to make a schedule that that would run a job on the first and fifteenth of each month, you would use:<intervals/>
  <interval monthDay="1"/>
  <interval monthDay="15"/>
</intervals/>
Specify the day by describing which occurrence of a weekday within the month.
monthDay=âoccurrence_of_weekday" Weekday=âweekday"
The occurrence of the specified weekday within the month when a job should be run. Valid values for occurrencee_of_weekday
are First, Second, Third, Fourth, Fifth, or LastDay
. Valid values for weekday
are Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, or Saturday
. If the value is lastDay
then the job will run on the last occurrence of the specified weekday in the month.
For example, to make a schedule that that would run a job on the third Thursday of each month, you would use:
<interval monthDay="Third" weekDay="Thursday"/>
