Enable Tableau Catalog
Catalog is available with the Data Management licence. For more information, see About Data Management.
In addition to Catalogue, metadata about your content can also be accessed from both the Tableau Metadata API(Link opens in a new window) and the Tableau REST API using Metadata Methods(Link opens in a new window).
Catalog on Tableau Cloud
Catalog is automatically enabled when Tableau Cloud is licensed with the Data Management.
After your Tableau Cloud site has been licensed with the Data Management, the content that already exists on your Tableau Cloud site is immediately indexed. The time it takes to index the content depends on the amount of content you have. After the content is initially indexed, Catalogue monitors newly published content and other changes to assets and continues to index in the background.
Troubleshoot Catalogue
You or your users might encounter one of the following issues when using Catalogue.
Timeout limit and node limit exceeded messages
To ensure that Catalogue tasks that have to return a large number of results don’t take up all system resources, Catalogue implements both timeout and node limits.
Timeout limit
When tasks in Catalogue reach the timeout limit, you and your users see the following message:
“Showing partial results, Request time limit exceeded. Try again later.” or TIME_LIMIT_EXCEEDED
Node limit
When tasks in Catalogue reach the node limit, you and your users see the following message:
NODE_LIMIT_EXCEEDED
