Environment

Tableau Server

Resolution

Option 1

Enable CORS on Tableau Server and configure the URL of Tableau Server in vizportal.rest_api.cors.allow_origin.

tsm configuration set -k vizportal.rest_api.cors.enabled -v true
tsm configuration set -k vizportal.rest_api.cors.allow_origin -v "https://<Tableau Server>"
tsm pending-changes apply

Option 2

Enable CORS on Tableau Server and grant any origins by using an asterisk(*) as a wild card to match all sites.

tsm configuration set -k vizportal.rest_api.cors.enabled -v true
tsm configuration set -k vizportal.rest_api.cors.allow_origin -v "*"
tsm pending-changes apply

Option 3

Disable CORS feature if it is not in use.

tsm configuration set -k vizportal.rest_api.cors.enabled -v false
tsm pending-changes apply

Cause

If the Cross-Origin Resource Sharing setting is enabled, origins including Tableau Server URL need to be clarified in "vizportal.rest_api.cors.allow_origin".
