Tableau Server on Linux Help

You can use the tsm register command to register Tableau Server. This command lets you either display the registration file template (using the --template option) or provide the path to a completed registration file (using the --file option). You must use one of these two options when calling the tsm register command.

Options

--file <registration-filename>

Required.

Path to the file that contains the registration data.
