Tableau Server Certified Associate Quiz Questions and Answers

Answer :
  • VizQL Server

Explanation :

The VizQL Server loads and renders views, computes and executes queries. The Application Server (VizPortal) handles the web application, REST API calls, and supports browsing and searching. The Cache Server is a query cache distributed and shared across the server cluster. This in-memory cache speeds user experience across many scenarios. VizQL server, backgrounder, and data server (and application server to a lesser extent) make cache requests to the cache server on behalf of users or jobs. The cache is single-threaded, so if you need better performance you should run additional instances of cache server. The SAML Service acts as a proxy between Tableau Server and SAML Identity Providers (IdPs).
Answer :
  • By default, NTLM is used for authentication

Explanation :

Tableau Server does not perform this authentication. By default, NTLM is used for authentication, but you can enable Kerberos or SAML for single sign-on functionality. However, in all these cases, authentication is left to Active Directory. However, the Tableau user names stored in the identity store are associated with rights and permissions for Tableau Server. Therefore, after authentication is verified, Tableau Server manages user access (authorization) for Tableau resources.
Answer :
  • Process Manager

Explanation :

The Administration Controller handles requests to TSM and orchestrates configuration and topology changes and workflow across service processes. The Controller also serves as the REST API endpoint (HTTPS). The Client File Service (CFS) manages most shared files in a multinode cluster. For example, authentication related certificates, keys, and files (OpenID, mutual SSL, SAML, and Kerberos), and customization files are managed by CFS. The License Manager handles licensing.
Answer :
  • Data Server

Explanation :

The Data Server manages connections to Tableau Server data sources. The Backgrounder runs server tasks, including extract refreshes, subscriptions, ‘Run Now’ tasks, and tasks initiated from tabcmd. The Data Engine creates data extracts and processes queries. The Gateway is a web server that handles all requests to Tableau Server from browsers, Tableau Desktop, and other clients.
Answer :
  • REST API

Explanation :

With the Tableau Server REST API you can manage and change Tableau Server resources programmatically, via HTTP. The API gives you simple access to the functionality behind the data sources, projects, workbooks, site users, and sites on a Tableau server. You can use this access to create your own custom applications or to script interactions with Tableau Server resources.
Answer :
  • Administration Agent

Explanation :

The TSM Agent monitors the Coordination Service for changes to configuration or topology and delivers new configurations to each service (configuration) or deploys new services and removes old ones (topology). B) The Coordination Service serves as the single source of truth. C) is not correct. D) is not a TSM Process.
Answer :
  • Add :record_performance=yes& to the URL before the session id.

Explanation :

Once the site is enabled you will need to add :record_performance=yes& to the URL before the session id (:iid=1). This will ask the Tableau Server to record the performance of your view as well as add a Performance button; click on the Performance button to view the recording.
Answer :
  • Data Engine

Explanation :

Database drivers are only required to be installed on additional nodes which runs the following processes: Application Servers, Backgrounders, Data Servers, and VizQL Servers.
Answer :
  • FALSE

Explanation :

You can have individual SAML set up for the entire Server or specific sites. A user that belongs to a Site with individual SAML set up, that user can only belong to one site.
Answer :
  • TRUE

Explanation :

You can enable Performance Recording for individual sites. I actually do not think you can enable Performance Recording for the entire Server.
