Have been reading various threads regarding TABADMIN and the Rest API for kicking off extracts or schedule refreshes, but nothing that really addresses my Q. In our shop, we use a home-grown Powershell process and the REST API (2019) to kick off desired extracts at the end of nightly ETL processes.
In some situations, we want to use this process and override the default priority that is associated with that extract, say, jump it to 0 to allow immediate attention to the refresh task. The API call has no such "priority" parameter, so I wondered if folks in Tableau land have worked out a way to do this via the API. I am considering spinning up a new Task/Schedule for the datasource, getting it to fire, then removing the datasource from that Task/Schedule.
As you can tell from the vagueness of my description, I am trying to guesstimate LOE without doing much hands-on research. Any tips appreciated.
Hi Gary
Did you try the REST API request: Update the Schedule? It modifies settings for the specified schedule, including the priority.
I hope it is helpful,
Gigi
