Trouble Shooting DSA AD
Report has Old Data, Is Blank, Is Wrong
If you have questions about a Tableau report run by DSA AD start by
Obtaining the URL for the report from the .csv / Report & Distribution Command files / “batch” in the DSA AD folder.
Use the URL to run that report in Tableau Web Server. Examining the output.
If there is a problem with the report, make the fix on Tableau and verify that it works on Tableau before re-running the DSA AD batch.
Steps 1 and 2 above replicates what DSA AD does before it emails out the .PDF file.
To find the right .csv / Report & Distribution Command file you may need to look in the WTS or SQL Server Agent scheduler for the scheduled job and trace it back to the .csv file.
AD Output from DSA AD or Excel AD?
DSA AD produces PDF and .csv files from Tableau. Excel AD produces only Excel files.
