SCA-C01 Exam Dumps : Tableau Server Certified Associate Exam

Tableau Server uses internal secrets (tokens) for secure communication between its processes (e.g., Repository, File Store). These are automatically generated during installation and can be regenerated if compromised or for security maintenance. The command to update these is:

tsm security regenerate-internal-tokens: This regenerates the internal security tokens, ensuring all processes use the new tokens after a restart.

Option C (tsm security regenerate-internal-tokens): Correct. This is the documented command for updating internal secrets.

Option A (tsm data-access caching set -r 1): Incorrect. This command configures caching behavior, not security tokens.

Option B (tsm licenses refresh): Incorrect. This refreshes license data, unrelated to internal secrets.

Option D (tsm security validate-asset-keys): Incorrect. This validates encryption keys for assets, not internal tokens.

Table recommendations in Tableau Server suggest popular tables and data sources to users when they create new content in the web authoring environment. This feature is enabled by default but can be disabled at the site level.

Option A (Disable the option using the site Settings page): Correct. A site administrator can disable table recommendations by navigating to the site’s Settings > General page in the Tableau Server web interface and unchecking the option "Enable table recommendations." This prevents users on that site from seeing these suggestions, offering a straightforward UI-based solution.

Option B (Use the command: tsm configuration set -k recommendations.enabled -v false): Incorrect. There is no recommendations.enabled key in the TSM configuration settings. This feature is managed per site, not server-wide via TSM.

Option C (Publish data sources only to projects with permissions locked): Incorrect. Locking permissions restricts access but doesn’t disable the recommendation feature itself. Users with access would still see recommendations.

Option D (Disable the option using the server Settings page): Incorrect. Table recommendations are a site-specific setting, not a server-wide setting. The server Settings page (via TSM) controls global configurations, not this feature.

Tableau Server can record performance metrics for workbooks to troubleshoot slow-loading views. This feature must be enabled at the site level (viaSettings > General > Allow Performance Recording). Once enabled, you can trigger recording for a specific view by modifying its URL.

The correct syntax is to append :record_performance=yes& to the view URL, immediatelyafter the session ID. For example:

Original URL:

Modified URL: &

After loading the view with this parameter, a performance recording is generated and accessible via thePerformanceoption in the toolbar.

Option B (Type :record_performance=yes& at the end of the view URL, immediately after the session ID): Correct. This follows Tableau’s documented method for enabling performance recording.

Option A (Click the Performance link in the toolbar): Incorrect. The Performance link appears only after recording is triggered via the URL; it’s not the method to enable it.

Option C (Type :record_performance=yes& immediately before the session ID): Incorrect. The parameter must follow the session ID (e.g., :iid=1) to function correctly.

Option D (Delete the session ID in the URL and reload the view): Incorrect. The session ID is required for the view to load properly; removing it breaks the URL.
