We trigger Tableau extract refresh programmatically from the final step of our SAP Data Services job using Tableau Server REST API. This ensures the refresh only starts after ETL validation completes successfully. The Data Services job calls a Python script that authenticates to Tableau Server and initiates the extract refresh task. We monitor the refresh status and send email alerts if it fails. This tight integration eliminated the timing gap issue you mentioned.
