Nested projects are flattened in export

Open Holski opened this issue 6 years ago • 3 comments

We use tableau server 2019.2.2, we have 1 site with nested projects. We have a Production and a test primary level project, then within these projects we have sub projects such as sales, marketing, manufacturing etc. This is the layout on the server: Production > Sales >Marketing >Manufacturing Test > Sales >Marketing >Manufacturing
When using Tab migrate to export to a folder we get the following output Production Sales Marketing Manufacturing Test With a mix of Production and test workbooks and data source in each folder. Ideally I would like Tab migrate o respect the project structure on export.

I'm facing the same issue, I want to export a project with its nested project structure. @Holski did you found any solution for this?

@Abhorse Sorry no. We went with a different Python based solution. We used the Tableau REST API from https://onlinehelp.tableau.com/current/api/rest_api/en-us/help.htm#REST/rest_api_ref.htm and the Tableau server client https://github.com/tableau/server-client-python and we were able to script out the folder structure where to export the workbooks to .

@Holski do you have the script to share?
