Tableau Services Manager (TSM) Command Timeout
When Tableau Server is configured with two instances of the repository and failover to the backup repository occurs, TSM attempts to restart the original repository so that it is available as a backup. If this cannot be done for any reason, subsequent TSM commands can fail due to timeouts while waiting for the original repository to recover.
Commands that can be impacted include:
- tsm maintenance restore
- tsm maintenance reindex-search
- tsm reset
- tsm security regenerate-internal-tokens
- tsm sites export
- tsm sites import
If any of these commands is failing, and you have a repository that is not recovering, remove the repository from the server topology, apply pending changes, and re-add it.
