    Hi, the first question here is if you have follow the instructions:

     

    1. Download the Oracle JDBC driver (ojdbc8.jar) from https://www.oracle.com/database/technologies/appdev/jdbc-ucp-19c-downloads.html.
    2. Copy the .jar file to this folder (you may have to create it manually): /opt/tableau/tableau_driver/jdbc

     

    If you have done this, then I would start by signing in into Tableau Server, then go to explore, after that clic on New and select Workbook.

     

    Then choose connectors, and then Oracle:

    If you receive an error like: clntsh not found (at the end of the error) then it could be solved installing libaio1.

     

    sudo apt get install libaio1

    If this post resolves the question, would you be so kind to "Select as Best"?. This will help other users find the same answer/resolution and help community keep track of answered questions. Thank you.
