hi Tim, I have Bridge configured to run as a service and refreshes numerous excel files stored on a shared network drive. I've set the path for these files to be the full UNC path. However, sometimes it works and sometimes it fails. For example, if I have something that runs hourly, it would succeed at 6 am, fail at 7 to invalid file path, work at 8 and 9 am, then fail again at 10 am to an invalid file path. How can I figure out what's going on with it? Clicking the pencil icon next to the errored data source reveals that it's using the correct UNC path, so I save it and manually refresh from Bridge which works.

Great video, as always, Tim. I'm trying to look at our Tableau Online 'Bridge Extracts' dashboard. It comes up completely blank, though. Our Tableau Bridge runs on a virtual machine, not on the machine I'm currently attempting to view the dashboard on. Could that be the reason for the blank screen? Or is something else amiss? Additionally, I've confirmed that the connection status of the bridge is connected. Thanks!

Hey Tim, one question, will it work with org Tableau server?? Right now we need to put the excel in a shared location for the server to perform extract refresh...

It might be that the actual username being used is slightly different from what you expect and requires a domain in front of it for the login to work.
