Use a WDC in Tableau Server


You can use your web data connector (WDC) on Tableau Server as you would any other data source. You can publish the web data connector as a data source, or you can publish a workbook that embeds your connector as the data source.

When you use a web data connector, Tableau creates an extract of the data. You can refresh the extract in Tableau Desktop. However, to be able to refresh the extract on Tableau Server, there are a couple of other considerations.
