Installing Tableau for FICO

Use this information to install a version of Tableau for FICO that works with Xpress Insight .

Note: Tableau integration is not available with a Community license.
Before you begin, ensure you have a version of Tableau for FICO compatible with the version of Xpress Insight you are installing. Xpress Insight 5.6 is compatible with Tableau 2021.4 and later. We recommend you install the most recent supported version of Tableau. It is also advisable that you have your Tableau License key ready (unless you are just evaluating Tableau).
  1. Obtain the Tableau for FICO server software installer, selecting the 64-bit version: Tableau for FICO X.Y.Z (64-bit).exe where X, Y and Z are version numbers.
  2. Run the setup file and click Setup.
    This may take several minutes.
    Important: Do not reboot if prompted to do so by the Tableau installer.
  3. Make a note of the port number if it does not default to 80.

  4. Accept the default values and click OK .
    Once the Tableau for FICO Server installation completes, it will open a web page where you can create the Tableau administration user account.
  5. Create a Tableau user account with a username of admin and a password of admin123.
  6. When prompted to select the system configuration, select The same machine.
  7. When you have installed the Tableau for FICO Server software, reboot your machine.

You can now configure Tableau for FICO as described in the next section.

    A non-production deployment of Xpress Insight can use either the filesystem or a MySQL database for its scenario repository. This Quick Installation guide covers only the simple filesystem-based deployment. These instructions install MySQL solely for the purpose of hosting the mirror reporting database. Users who wish to also adopt MySQL for the scenario repository should follow the instructions in the full Installation Guide.
  • Verifying the Installation
    Run the Health Check from the Administration page of the user interface to verify the integration between Insight and Tableau is correct.
