Hi Steve, I know we spoke about this via support, but just to post here for any other users. As per the LAL Release Notes:

			
				The Tableau Data Extract API has been updated to version 8.1.2 and as a result Tableau 8.0 or later releases are required to process files produced by this node. The installation now includes the binaries for linux; Tableau does not officially support Red Hat environments at this time so this functionality is released as beta; as a result we cannot guarantee that this will work as designed nor is this supported by any existing maintenance contracts.
			

In saying this, I could not get the Output Tableau node to work CentOS running v4.6.1, however it did work with v6.1.3, but as Linux is not officially supported by Tableau's API at this time it cannot be guaranteed.
