Keep Data Fresh

After you publish workbooks and data sources to Tableau Cloud, you can decide how you want to keep the data current. Options for keeping published data fresh depend on the characteristics of your data sources.

Data freshness options by data source

The following table lists data freshness options (and exceptions) that are available depending on the data source.

Exceptions

  • Tableau Cloud does not support connections to any cube-based data source.

  • Tableau Cloud does not support published connections that use Kerberos authentication.

  • Although you can publish extracts of SAP BW data to Tableau Cloud, refreshes are not supported. The best way to update SAP BW data sources is to republish them.

Tableau Cloud IP addresses for data provider authorization

As a security measure, cloud data providers might require you to supply authorized IP addresses from which external applications request access to your data. A request from an IP address that is not explicitly approved could be rejected. To make sure live connections you publish to Tableau Cloud remain uninterrupted, add Tableau Cloud to your data provider’s allowlist.

The table lists IP address ranges Tableau Cloud uses, depending on your site location. You can see its location in the URL that appears after you sign in to Tableau Cloud.

IP addresses are dedicated to and controlled by Salesforce.

Note: In addition to enabling communication over the Tableau Cloud IP range, you might need to enable access over the appropriate database port (for example, 80 or 443) depending on the communication type (HTTP or HTTPS).

Important: From August to December 2024, Tableau Cloud sites will be migrating to Salesforce's Hyperforce(Link opens in a new window), one pod at a time. Because Hyperforce uses different IP addresses, the migration to Hyperforce will require you to update your data provider’s allowlist. Going forward, IP addresses will need to be updated periodically. For more information, see the New IP addresses (after Hyperforce migration) section below.

For more information about Tableau Cloud's migration to Hyperforce, including when your pod will be moving, see the Tableau Cloud Migration to Hyperforce(Link opens in a new window) knowledge article.

New IP addresses (after Hyperforce migration)

From August to December 2024, Tableau Cloud sites will be migrating to Salesforce's Hyperforce(Link opens in a new window) by pod. After your pod’s migration to Hyperforce, your data provider’s allowlist will need to be updated to use Hyperforce IP addresses.

IP address process change

Hyperforce IP addresses are updated periodically and will require your data provider's allowlist to be updated. To stay informed about new IP addresses, you have one or both options:

  1. Periodically review the IP address tables below: At least 30 days before the IP addresses are enabled, the IP address tables below are updated. Site admins will also receive an email notification alerting them of the new IP addresses.

  2. Automate IP address updates using the JSON text file: Salesforce recommends that your data provider’s allowlist mirror the https://ip-ranges.salesforce.com/ip-ranges.json(Link opens in a new window) text file at all times by automating the IP address updates. New IP addresses are posted to the text file at least 30 days before they’re enabled and are denoted by the “Created Date” (in UTC).

    In the text file, the IP address and range for your pod are listed by the Hyperforce region that your pod resides in. To determine the Hyperforce region that your pod resides in, refer to the "Pod Name" and the associated "Hyperforce Region Name" in the tables below. For example, if your pod name is "prod-ca-a", your Hyperforce region name is "ca-central-1". In https://ip-ranges.salesforce.com/ip-ranges.json(Link opens in a new window) text file, search for "ca-central-1" for the appropriate IP addresses to include in your data provider's allowlist.
