For example, I am going to use tableau api to "update now" 50 extracts at once. After finishing the requests I will have 50 jobs pending in the queue. Will those jobs run one by one with only 1 job being "in progress" at the time or will some of the jobs run simultaneously (multiple refreshes "in progress" at the time)?
I have started wondering about this after seeing that when creating a new schedule it is possible to specify priority and execution type of this new schedule. I am wondering what is the default for "update now" option, since there are no request options to customize the request for this endpoint. Is it prio=50 and execution_type="parallel" by default for "update now" option?
Hi @Piotr Grobelny
The jobs will run simultaneously if possible, and the number of jobs running in parallel depends on the number of Backgrounder processes on the Tableau server.
So if you have two Backgrounders, it will start running two jobs. As soon as one is finished, the next one in the queue will start, and so on.
