Question 47
What two events must occur for Tableau Server to recompute queries for a workbook cache after a scheduled refresh? (Choose two.)
Correct Answer: B,D
Tableau Server uses caching to speed up workbook loading by storing query results. After a scheduled extract refresh updates the data, the cache may need recomputing-let's dive into the mechanics: * Caching Basics: * VizQL Cache: Stores rendered views and query results for faster access. * Refresh Trigger: A scheduled refresh updates the underlying extract (.hyper), but the cache isn't automatically invalidated-it's demand-driven. * Recompute Conditions: Tableau recomputes the cache when the workbook is accessed (viewed) and its data has changed (e.g., via refresh). * Evaluation: * Option B (The workbook has upcoming scheduled refresh tasks): Correct. * Why: An upcoming refresh task indicates the workbook relies on an extract with a schedule. After the refresh runs, the data changes, priming the cache for recomputation on next view. Without a schedule, no refresh occurs, so this is a prerequisite. * Detail: Schedules are set inSchedules > Tasks-e.g., "Daily at 2 AM." * Option D (The workbook has been viewed recently): Correct. * Why: Viewing triggers cache recomputation if the data has changed (e.g., post-refresh). Tableau uses a "lazy caching" model-cache updates only when a user loads the workbook, ensuring fresh results. * Detail: "Recently" isn't strictly defined but implies post-refresh access. * Option A (Published in the last month): Incorrect. * Why: Publish date is irrelevant-cache recomputation ties to data changes and access, not publication timing. * Option C (All Users group has permission rule allowing access): Incorrect. * Why: Permissions enable viewing, but recomputation requires actual access (viewing) and a refresh event, not just potential access. Why This Matters: Caching balances performance and freshness-understanding triggers prevents stale data surprises.

Question 49
Which two statements are advantages of published data sources in comparison to embedded data sources? (Choose two.)
Correct Answer: C,D
In Tableau, data sources can beembedded(stored within a workbook) orpublished(stored separately on Tableau Server). Let's define these and analyze the advantages: * Embedded Data Source: The connection details and any extract are bundled in the .twb or .twbx file. Each workbook manages its own copy. * Published Data Source: The connection or extract is hosted on Tableau Server, reusable across multiple workbooks. Now, let's evaluate the options: * Option C (Centralized data management is easier): Correct. Published data sources allow: * Single source of truth: One data source can serve multiple workbooks, ensuring consistency. * Unified updates: Refresh schedules, permissions, and metadata (e.g., calculated fields) are managed in one place via the Server UI. * Governance: Administrators can control access and monitor usage centrally.In contrast, embedded data sources require individual updates per workbook, leading to duplication and management overhead. * Option D (Storage space is conserved and resource usage during data refreshes is optimized): Correct. With published data sources: * Storage: A single extract on the Server (e.g., a .hyper file) is shared across workbooks, avoiding redundant copies stored in each embedded workbook. * Refreshes: One refresh job updates the shared extract, reducing CPU and memory usage compared to multiple refreshes for duplicate embedded extracts.Embedded data sources replicate extracts, increasing disk space and refresh load. * Option A (Data is protected so that it is only available in one workbook): Incorrect. This describes embedded data sources, not published ones. Published data sources are shared, not restricted to one workbook-permissions control access, not exclusivity. * Option B (Drivers are automatically installed on each client's machine): Incorrect. Drivers (e.g., for SQL Server, PostgreSQL) must be installed on the Server hosting the published data source, not client machines. This is unrelated to the published vs. embedded distinction. Why This Matters: Published data sources enhance scalability and efficiency in enterprise deployments, making them a cornerstone of Tableau Server's data strategy.
