Challenged with this one internally ever since we upgraded from v8 to v9 (last couple of weeks...
With v8 I had a Windows Task running to perform an export of some data from a workbook on our server, Everything was working great...
tabcmd export -s <servername> -t <site> -u <username> -p <password> "<workbook>/<view>" --csv -f "C:\<filename>" --no-certcheck --timeout 500
Since we upgraded to Tableau 9 we are getting the following error. The strange thing is that sometimes we won't get the error and it will work...but most of the time we get the error and nothing works. Anyone experience this or have any idea on what is going on?

Hi Prashanth,
In my case, turns out it was the version of TABCMD I was using. The server was running version 9 and I thought I could just go online and download TABCMD for version 9 (which I did). Turns out that even though the Major version number was the same - the minor version number was not exactly the same...I didn't record the version numbers but the digits in the xxxx.xxxx differed betwwen the two versions:
i.e. 9000.15.xxxx.xxxx (for version 9)
So, I got our server admin to send me a copy of TABCMD that was included with the server install and everything worked after that. I have no idea way minor change in version number is causing this error because they were both "version 9". Also I have no idea why the Tableau website was providing only that version.
Edit: Also another thing to try when doing export is to add --no-cert check at the end of your command string. THis is also a requirement in some cases, but in my case I had tried that and made no difference (it was the tabcmd version issue)
