Q

Which of the following statements correctly describe how a user’s site role will be affected by synchronizing with an external Active Directory group? (Select all)

  1. A user’s site role can be demoted but never promoted based on the minimum site role setting
  2. If you don’t set a minimum site role, new users are added as unlicensed by default
  3. A user’s site role can be promoted but never demoted based on the minimum site role setting
  4. If you don’t set a minimum site role, Tableau Server will generate an error and the user will not be added
A
  1. If you don’t set a minimum site role, new users are added as unlicensed by default
  2. A user’s site role can be promoted but never demoted based on the minimum site role setting

If a user already exists, the minimum site role will be applied if it gives the user more access in a site. If you don’t set a minimum site role, new users are added as Unlicensed by default.

A user’s site role can be promoted but never demoted based on the minimum site role setting. If a user already has the ability to publish, that ability will always be maintained.

Q

Which Run As Service Account type should be used in the following scenario?

  • A single-server deployment of Tableau Server
  • Uses local authentication
  • Workbooks uploaded to Tableau Server all include extract data
  1. Domain User Account
  2. Network Service
A

By default, the Run As service account is set to a local account called Network Service. Use the default Network Service account when:

You are using local authentication for Tableau Server.
All users in your organization include extracted data in the workbooks that they are uploading to Tableau Server.
You are running Tableau Server in a single-server deployment.
External data sources that your users access through Tableau Server do not require Windows NT integrated security or Kerberos. In most data-access scenarios, Microsoft SQL Server, MSAS, Teradata, and Oracle databases require Windows NT integrated security.

For all Active Directory scenarios, we recommend updating the Tableau Server Run As service account with a domain user account. Update the Run As service account to a domain user account when data sources accessed through Tableau Server require Windows NT integrated security or Kerberos.

  4. Workbooks that use cube data source cannot be published to Tableau Online
A
  1. Data Source filters are not available for cube data sources

  1. Background Task Delay
  2. Traffic to Views

Q

Backward Compatibility Scenario (True or False):

  • Suppose Linus publishes a workbook from Tableau Desktop 2018.2 to Tableau Server 2020.1
  • Steph downloads the workbook from Tableau Server to Tableau Desktop 2020.1 - she does some edits and republishes the workbook back to the server
  • Charles and Raina, who are both using Tableau Desktop 2018.2, can download the workbook, but cannot open the workbook
A

If someone else edits and saves the workbook on the server, the workbook is updated to that version of Tableau Server.

If someone downloads the workbook from Tableau Server to a newer version of Tableau Desktop and edits, saves, and publishes it, the workbook is updated to the newer version of Tableau Desktop.

The workbook is now updated to the newer version. Zachary and Elizabeth, who are both using Tableau Desktop 2020.2 can download the workbook but can’t open it because the workbook has been updated to Tableau version 2020.3.

18
Q

Which Tableau Server administrative view shows you which views are the most expensive in terms of server performance? It also features two key metrics: Average Load Time and Exact Load Time.

  1. Stats for Load Times
  2. Traffic to Views
  3. Performance of Views
A
  1. Stats for Load Times

The Stats for Load Times view shows you which views are the most expensive in terms of server performance. You can filter by view and time range. Server administrators can filter by site. You can also limit the view based on load time in seconds, using the sliding Load Time filter. Load times are for the server. Depending on your client browser and networking, actual load time may vary slightly.

Q

Select all the types of backup data generated by the tsm maintenance backup command:

  1. Workbook metadata
  2. Extract (.tde or .hyper) files
  3. Coordination service configuration for a multi-node cluster
  4. Customization settings (e.g. headers, logos)
  5. Certificate files, key files, keytab files
  6. PastgreSQL database
A
  1. Workbook metadata
  2. Extract (.tde or .hyper) files
  3. PastgreSQL database

There are two types of backup data that Tableau Server can generate.

Data managed by Tableau Server: consists of the Tableau PostgreSQL database or repository and File Store, which contains workbook and user metadata, data extract files, and site configuration data. When you use TSM to create a backup, all of this data is saved in a single file with a .tsbak extension. This data is backed up with the tsm maintenance backup command.

Configuration and Topology data: includes most of the server configuration information required to fully recover a server. SMTP, alerting, some authentication assets, are all examples of configuration data that are exportable for backup. Configuration and topology data is backed up with the tsm settings export command.

20
Q

What does the -d option do in the tsm maintenance backup command?

  1. Appends the current date to the backup file name
  2. Allows you to hard-code a date to the backup file name
  3. Ensures that the backup file cannot be deleted by non-admins
A

-d, –append-date

Optional.

Append the current date to the backup file name.

21
Q

Which of the following backup assets require a manual process since they are not backed up by TSM? (Select all)

  1. Authentication-related assets such as certificate files, key files, keytab files
  2. Customization settings (e.g. custom headers, logos)
  3. Coordination Service deployment configuration
  4. The public certificate and private key for the internal PostgreSQL database
A
  1. Authentication-related assets such as certificate files, key files, keytab files
  2. Customization settings (e.g. custom headers, logos)
  3. Coordination Service deployment configuration

System user accounts. Tableau Server setup creates an unprivileged user account, tableau. This account is used to access Tableau Server resources. This account can be changed during setup. If you have not changed this account, then you do not need to document it.
TSM group membership. There are two groups created by Tableau Server: tableau and tsmadmin. If you configured alternative groups when you installed Tableau Server, then you’ll need to document the group names.
Coordination Service deployment configuration. If you are running a multinode cluster, document which nodes are running the Coordination Services process.
Customization settings.
Most authentication assets. Most certificate files, key files, keytab files or other authentication-related assets are not backed up by TSM.
LDAP assets. Keytab files, configuration files, and or other LDAP-related assets are not backed up by TSM.

22
Q

After performing a full backup and restore of Tableau Server, you may want to re-encrypt your extracts using different encryption keys. Which command below achieves this?

  1. tabcmd reencryptextracts
  2. tsm reencryptextracts
  3. tabcmd extracts-reencrypt
  4. tsm extracts-reencrypt
A

Optionally, if you are using the extract encryption at rest feature, after the backup is restored, you can reencrypt the extracts using different encryption keys. See Extract Encryption at Rest.

Run tabcmd reencryptextracts to reencrypt extracts on a given site.
