Issue

If using a Tableau Datasource Customization (TDC) file and then upgrade Tableau Desktop, will the new version keep using the TDC file for the specific data source?  

Environment

  • Tableau Desktop
  • Windows 10

Resolution

There is no need to recreate TDC file after upgrading Tableau Desktop.  The new version will also read from the same My Tableau Repository folder.

Cause

The Tableau Datasource Customization (TDC) file exists in the My Tableau Repository folder, and it will not be deleted when Tableau Desktop is upgraded.
