Tableau TDE extract file Generation

[sandeepgs]

Hi Team,

We are working with tableau which access TDE extract files as source to generate the reports. TDE extract file is generated by joining two are more sources with in Tableau and reports use these generated TDE files as source and display results on dashboards.

We would like to reduce load on Tableau and add the functionality of generating TDE file using Datastage. So question here is there any plugin that can be used to generate TDE format files. I did validate all the necessary documentation from IBM and no results were found, so checking if understanding that Datastage cannot generate TDE files is correct or not.

Thanks in advance for your suggestions or responses.

Regards,

doing some searching, it appears that Tableau supports an SDK with potential for java ....meaning that you could probably craft a very nice class to write TDE from within DataStage using the Java Integration Stage.

I've never done it, and it means having a java person who gets familiar with their API, but it is certainly do-able, and then you would have a means for "feeding" that class with whatever you want from DataStage upstream.

Java Integration Stage is well documented and examples exist on developerWorks.
