Validate download server by open browser to make sure that you are able to see the list of files.Create your own Tableau download server: Find an internal web server and create one Tableau download folder (let’s call it your own download server) to host one TableauAutoUpdate.xml and the new installations packages.It can be done by following the steps below: The use case is that you already have control on your users’ Desktop configurations (for example, you have built Mac installer package to update Mac plist or you have built Windows .bat to update registration of Windows), you plan to upgrade your Tableau server from 10.0 to 10.2, you want user’s Desktop to popup for 10.2 upgrade after your server is upgraded to 10.2. This blog is a small deviation from Tableau’s out of box solution but is a big breakthrough on usability. It should work for major upgrade (from 9.* to 10.2) as well but I have not tested enough for it yet. I figured out how to control your Desktop update for both minor & maintenance upgrade (i.e. from 10.0 to 10.2). Tableau control product updates only works for maintenance version updates, does not work for minor version updates. The problem is that out of box Tableau approaches works for maintenance updates only. In an attempt to achieve this, Tableau came up with control product updates for maintenance version only of Tableau Desktop. What we really need is a controlled Desktop updates that Tableau team can control when the Desktop users should be prompted for the upgrade after server upgrade. For example, you can’t publish from 10.3 Desktop to 10.2 server. However, most large Tableau customers have to turn it off (by modifying the setting for the AutoUpdateAllowed property value) since if Desktop is automatically updated to a newer version than Server, you can’t publish. Tableau Desktop can check for product updates and install them automatically. After your Tableau server is upgraded (let’s say from 10.0 to 10.2), you want user’s Desktop to popup for 10.2 Desktop upgrade automatically.
