Expose Tableau Workbooks in Cognos Portal

[kawabunga]

I am exploring the feasibility of exposing Tableau workbooks (.twbx files) in a Cognos portal. I set up the Tableau files using Bookmarks Viewer. When I click on the .twbx file, however, I get an "HTTP 404" error. I have Tableau Reader in my desktop.

Any ideas?

What makes you think that a proprietary document type will be supported by Cognos? A Tableau file has nothing to do with web, so Cognos has no way to handle it. Also IBM has no reason or profit to allow the competition in their BI stack.

Per the experts at Senturus ...

You need to register the twbx file extension as a new mime type in the web server application so that the web server will serve up files of that type.

You'll need to add this:
File extension: twbx
MIME Type: application/twbx

And which application will the web server use to process these files?
