}
For Tableau Server, examine the log files. For help, see Tableau Server Logs and Log File Locations.
To debug log in issues, see Testing and Troubleshooting REST API Calls.
A common error is the following:
{"errorCode":"400000",
"message":"Unable to parse the request
body. Please ensure it is formatted as
valid JSON. (Illegal unquoted
character ((CTRL-CHAR, code 10)): has
to be escaped using backslash to be
included in string value)."}
This likely means that you have an extra indentation after your datasource-luid
. Make sure the data source LUID is a single line.
