Question 1

What should you do to disable table recommendations for popular data sources and tables to users?

Accepted Answer

A

Explanation: Tableau Server and Tableau Cloud administrators can control recommendation features on a per-site basis. The site's Settings page contains options to selectively enable or disable different types of recommendations, including those for views, data sources, and tables/databases. To disable table recommendations specifically, a site administrator would navigate to the General tab of the site's Settings page and uncheck the corresponding option under the "Recommendations" section. This provides granular control over the user discovery experience within that specific site.

Question 2

Which three items can be contained in a project? (Choose three.)

Accepted Answer

B, C, D

Explanation: In Tableau (a Salesforce product), projects function as containers to organize and manage content. A project can hold various types of assets, including workbooks, which contain visualizations and dashboards. It can also contain published data sources, allowing for centralized data management. Furthermore, projects support a hierarchical structure, meaning a project can contain other "nested" projects to create a more granular organization of content. This structure is fundamental to managing permissions and content access effectively on a Tableau Server or Tableau Cloud site.

Question 3

You install Tableau Server on a server that has four processor cores. How many instances of each Tableau Server process are installed?

Accepted Answer

B

Explanation: During a standard single-node installation, Tableau Server installs one instance of each of its core processes by default. This initial configuration provides a fully functional server. The number of processor cores (in this case, four) is a critical factor for performance and scalability, but it does not alter the default count of one instance per process during the initial setup. Administrators can later manually configure additional instances of specific processes, such as the VizQL Server or Backgrounder, to optimize performance based on the server's hardware and workload, but the default is one of each.

Question 4

You need to ensure that Tableau Server requires the setup of a new administrator account the next time you attempt to log in. What should you do?

Accepted Answer

B

Explanation: The tsm reset command is specifically designed to remove all configurations, content, and user data from a Tableau Server installation, effectively returning it to a pre-initialized state. After this command is executed, the server must be re-initialized. This re-initialization process requires the administrator to configure the server from scratch, which includes the mandatory step of creating a new initial administrator account. This directly addresses the requirement to set up a new administrator account upon the next login/setup attempt.

Question 5

To which site role can you associate the Viewer user-based license level?

Accepted Answer

C

Explanation: A user's license level determines the maximum site role they can be assigned on a Tableau site. The Viewer license is the most restrictive, designed for users who only need to view and interact with published visualizations. Consequently, a user holding a Viewer license can only be assigned the Viewer site role. Assigning them a higher role, such as Explorer or Creator, would grant capabilities that their license does not support.

Question 6

What account should you use to run the Tableau Server installation program?

Accepted Answer

C

Explanation: The installation of Tableau Server requires elevated privileges to perform system-level changes on the Windows operating system. The account used to run the installer must have the authority to write to the C:\Program Files directory, create and modify system services, and make entries in the Windows Registry. Membership in the local Administrators group grants these necessary permissions, ensuring the setup program can complete all required tasks successfully.

Question 7

What process enables you to access Tableau Services Manager (TSM) over HTTPS?

Accepted Answer

B

Explanation: The Tableau Services Manager (TSM) Administration Controller (tabadmincontroller) is the core process that handles requests for TSM. This includes managing the business logic for configuration and topology changes initiated through both the TSM command-line interface (CLI) and the TSM Web UI. Since the TSM Web UI is accessed via a web browser over HTTPS (typically on port 8850), the Administration Controller is the process that directly enables this secure access. It serves as the entry point for all TSM administrative actions.

Question 8

A user reports that a newly-published workbook runs slowly. What should you ask the user first to investigate the problem?

Accepted Answer

A

Explanation: The most effective initial step in troubleshooting a slow workbook is to isolate the source of the problem. Asking if the workbook runs faster in Tableau Desktop versus Tableau Server/Cloud helps to quickly determine if the performance issue is inherent to the workbook's design (e.g., complex calculations, inefficient queries) or related to the server environment (e.g., server hardware, network latency, data source connectivity from the server). If it is slow in both environments, the workbook itself needs optimization. If it is only slow on the server, the investigation should focus on the server-side components.

Question 9

What should you do to ensure that server tasks associated with a particular schedule run one-at-a- time?

Accepted Answer

A

Explanation: To ensure that server tasks run sequentially, or "one-at-a-time," the execution mode must be set to serial. Serial execution processes tasks one after another, where a subsequent task only begins after the preceding one has completed. This is in contrast to parallel execution, where multiple tasks run concurrently. In CRM Analytics, this can be achieved by scheduling jobs to run based on an event, such as the completion of a previous data sync or recipe, effectively creating a serial chain of execution.

Question 10

What statement correctly describes locking permissions to a project?

Accepted Answer

B

Explanation: Locking content permissions is a specific administrative action performed at the project level in Tableau Server. When permissions are locked, all workbooks, data sources, and other content published to that project will inherit their permissions directly from the project. This ensures a consistent security model across all assets within the project. The administrator or project leader achieves this by navigating to the project's permissions settings and changing the "Content Permissions" setting from its default state of "Customizable" to "Locked".

Question 11

What are two intervals when Tableau Server verifies if data conditions for data-driven alerts are true? (Choose two.)

Accepted Answer

A, D

Explanation: Tableau Server checks for data-driven alert conditions based on two primary triggers. First, there is a server-wide background process that checks alerts at a configurable frequency. By default, this interval is set to every 60 minutes. Second, for any view that is built upon a data extract, the alert condition is specifically checked immediately after the scheduled refresh for that extract completes. This ensures that alerts are evaluated against the most current data available in the extract. These two mechanisms work together to provide timely notifications when data crosses a specified threshold.

Question 12

What process decides when a Repository failover is required?

Accepted Answer

A

Explanation: The Cluster Controller process is responsible for monitoring the health of Tableau Server components in a high-availability configuration. It continuously checks the status of the active Repository (PostgreSQL database). If the Cluster Controller detects that the active Repository has failed or is unresponsive, it initiates the failover process, promoting the passive Repository to become the new active one. This ensures minimal disruption to the server's operation by maintaining the availability of critical metadata.

Question 13

What two types of users can sign in to Tableau Server and edit the permissions for a workbook in a project, when permissions are NOT set to Locked to the project? (Choose two.)

Accepted Answer

C, D

Explanation: When content permissions are not locked to the project, Tableau Server uses a delegated administration model. In this model, the user who owns the content (the workbook's owner) has the authority to manage its permissions. Additionally, users assigned the Project Leader role for the project containing the workbook are granted administrative capabilities over all content within that project, which includes setting permissions. This allows for granular control over individual assets by those most familiar with them.

Question 14

You have an existing group subscription. You add a user to the group. What statement correctly describes the result?

Accepted Answer

C

Explanation: In Salesforce report or dashboard subscriptions, recipients can be specified as public groups or roles. Salesforce evaluates the membership of those groups/roles each time the scheduled subscription runs. When a new user is added to the public group, the system automatically includes that user in the next execution of the subscription without any manual action or approval. Therefore, the subscription dynamically updates to reflect the current membership of the group.

Question 15

Which three methods should an administrator use to create a Tableau Server group or project? (Choose three.)

Accepted Answer

B, C, D

Explanation: An administrator can create and manage content like groups and projects in Tableau Server through three primary methods. The Tableau Server browser interface is the standard graphical user interface for manual administration. For scripting and automation of administrative tasks, the tabcmd command-line utility provides specific commands such as createproject and creategroup. For more advanced programmatic control and integration with other systems, the Tableau Server REST API offers dedicated endpoints to create and manage projects and groups. These three methods provide comprehensive options for content management.
