Issue
When refreshes run in Tableau Bridge fail, the following error might occur:"Unable to parse XML response from website"
Last Modified Date: 23 Oct 2017
"Unable to parse XML response from website"
Environment
- Tableau Online 10.4.0
- Tableau Desktop/Tableau Bridge 10.5 (beta)
Resolution
- If Tableau Bridge is currently running in Service mode, change it to Application mode. This will ensure that that client doesn't continue to run in the following steps.
- Exit Tableau Bridge completely.
- Check in Windows Task Manager for any remaining Tableau Online Sync Client processes still running. If you find any, manually end them.
- Open Tableau Desktop 10.4 and click on Server > Start Tableau Bridge Client.
- If desired, change Tableau Bridge back to Service mode.
Cause
Tableau Desktop 10.5 (beta) was installed on the computer running Tableau Bridge. The bridge client automatically upgraded itself during the Desktop upgrade; however, because Tableau Online is still in version 10.4, the refreshes will fail.Thank you for providing your feedback on the effectiveness of the article.
