Question 7
High Availability Deployment In order to be HA, you must install Tableau Server on at least 3 nodes. What is the primary reason for this?

Question 8
Which Tableau Server process performs the role of a database for metadata?
Correct Answer: B
Tableau Server relies on several processes to function, each with a specific role. TheRepositoryprocess (powered by PostgreSQL) serves as the database for metadata, storing critical information such as: * User and group details. * Permissions and site configurations. * Workbook and data source metadata (e.g., schedules, subscriptions). * Option B (Repository): Correct. The Repository is the centralized database that holds all metadata, making it the backbone of Tableau Server's content management. There are typically two instances in an HA setup (one active, one passive), monitored by the Cluster Controller. * Option A (Data Engine): Incorrect. The Data Engine manages in-memory data processing and extract storage (e.g., .hyper files), not metadata. It's separate from the Repository. * Option C (Backgrounder): Incorrect. The Backgrounder handles background tasks like extract refreshes and subscriptions, but it doesn't store metadata-it interacts with the Repository to retrieve task details. * Option D (File Store): Incorrect. The File Store manages physical extract files and workbook assets, not metadata, which is stored in the Repository.
Question 9
What is the minimum hardware recommendation for a single-node production installation of Tableau Server?
Correct Answer: C
Tableau Server's minimum hardware recommendations for a production single-node deployment ensure reliable performance for small to medium workloads. As of the latest documentation: * CPU: 8 cores (2.0 GHz or higher) to handle concurrent users, rendering, and background tasks. * RAM: 32 GB to support in-memory processing (e.g., VizQL, Data Engine) and caching. * Disk Space: 50 GB free for installation, logs, extracts, and temporary files. Let's break it down: * Option C (8-Core CPU, 32 GB RAM, 50 GB free disk space): Correct. This matches Tableau's official minimum for production: * 8 cores ensure sufficient parallelism for processes like Backgrounder and VizQL. * 32 GB RAM supports multiple users and extract refreshes. * 50 GB disk space accommodates growth (initial install is ~1-2 GB, but logs and extracts expand). * Option A (4-Core, 16 GB RAM, 50 GB): Incorrect. Too low for production-4 cores and 16 GB RAM are below the threshold for reliable performance under load. * Option B (2-Core, 8 GB RAM, 15 GB): Incorrect. This is for non-production (e.g., trial) setups, insufficient for production stability. * Option D (4-Core, 64 GB RAM, 50 GB): Incorrect. 4 cores are inadequate, though 64 GB RAM exceeds the minimum (32 GB). Why This Matters: Under-spec hardware can lead to slow performance, failed refreshes, or crashes in production-adhering to the minimum ensures stability.
Question 10
When revision history is turned on and then off in Tableau Server, saved revisions are still retained, and new versions overwrite the latest version. What happens when revision history is turned on once again?
