SGD Not Adding All Changed Tableau Components to Package.xml

[ninja-momma]

Issue verification check :

• [x] does the current repository is fully deployable at the commit sha given to the from parameter of the command ?

What is the problem

SGD is not adding all of the changed Tableau components to the package.xml file. Below is the log from our Jenkins build:

+ ls -R changed_sources/force-app
changed_sources/force-app/main/default:
wave

changed_sources/force-app/main/default/wave:
EM_Utilization_comp.wcomp
EM_Utilization_comp.wcomp-meta.xml
Utilization_Dashboard.wdash
Utilization_Dashboard.wdash-meta.xml
Utilization_component.wcomp
Utilization_component.wcomp-meta.xml

reviewing deployment package.xml
[Pipeline] sh
+ cat changed_sources/package/package.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Package xmlns="http://soap.sforce.com/2006/04/metadata">
    <types>
        <members>Utilization_Dashboard</members>
        <name>WaveDashboard</name>
    </types>
    <version>52.0</version>
</Package>

What is parameter and their value you used

sfdx sgd:source:delta --to HEAD --from d6f7937b68cc90c3b182c3c008601e1abcaa0e9c --output changed_sources --generate-delta --ignore .forceignore_deployment

What is the expected result

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Package xmlns="http://soap.sforce.com/2006/04/metadata">
    <types>
        <members>Utilization_Dashboard</members>
        <name>WaveDashboard</name>
    </types>
    <types>
       <members>EM_Utilization_comp</members>
       <members>Utilization_comp</members>
       <name>WaveComponent</name>
    </types>
    <version>52.0</version>
</Package>

What is the actual result

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Package xmlns="http://soap.sforce.com/2006/04/metadata">
    <types>
        <members>Utilization_Dashboard</members>
        <name>WaveDashboard</name>
    </types>
    <version>52.0</version>
</Package>

Only the Utilization_Dashboard was deployed.

Hi @ninja-momma !

Thanks for raising this issue and for helping this plugin to be better !

This metadata is not added in our internal metadata repository, this is why it is not treated.

I had a quick look at the metadata api documentation and I have not been able to find it there (I looked from 53.0 to 40.0...) !

Do you know where I can find it so I can include it ? Or do you know how it behave:

• In which folder it is located ?
• What is the suffix of the file ?
• Does it comes with a -meta.xml related file ?

Thanks !

[ninja-momma]

Yes, this metadata is not documented. I came across it in this post: https://www.salesforceblogger.com/2020/06/15/uncovering-deployment-techniques-for-einstein-analytics/

You can find it when entering "WaveComponent" in the search field for the Metadata Coverage Report (https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/metadata-coverage/53). Unfortunately this is no documentation.

We tested a retrieval and deployment with it in the package.xml and it worked.

Here is information about the component:

• folder location: force-app/main/default/wave folder
• suffix: .wcomp
• the contents of the .wcomp file is in JSON format
• It does come with a -meta.xml file. Below is a sample

  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
  <WaveComponent xmlns="http://soap.sforce.com/2006/04/metadata" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
  <content xsi:nil="true" />
  <application>SharedApp</application>
  <masterLabel>Utilization_comp</masterLabel>
  </WaveComponent>

Awesome, that's a great contribution, thank you very much.

I think there are couple of other metadata types that we should also include based on the content of the blog (DiscoveryAIModel and DiscoveryGoal)

We will create a new version integrating this very soon

Stay tuned

[ninja-momma]

Thank you so much! This plugin is a fantastic tool!
