Explore 5 free practice questions for the Tableau Server-Certified-Associate exam and review the answers and explanations to support your preparation.

  1. Question 1

    Single answer

    Interpret the following command:
    tsm maintenance backup -f ts-sample_backup -d -sr monthly -st 01:00 -sd 15 -sn monthly-backup


    • Option A:
      Creates a backup schedule that runs on the 15th of each month at 1am
      Correct
    • Option B:
      Creates a backup schedule that runs every 15 minutes starting at 1am each day
      Correct
    Show Answer & Explanation Hide Answer & Explanation

    Correct Answer: A

    Explanation

    The command tsm maintenance backup -f ts-sample_backup -d -sr monthly -st 01:00 -sd 15 -sn monthly-backup is used in Tableau Services Manager (TSM) to create a scheduled backup. The parameter -sr monthly specifies that the schedule repeats monthly, -st 01:00 sets the start time to 1:00 AM, and -sd 15 indicates that the backup should run on the 15th day of the month. The schedule is named monthly-backup using -sn monthly-backup. Therefore, this command creates a backup schedule that executes on the 15th of every month at 1:00 AM, making Option A correct.

  2. Question 2

    Single answer

    Which of the following statements accurately describe how the Data Engine process consumes
    memory and CPU?

    • Option A:
      The Data Engine is designed to leverage all available CPU and memory on the machine to
      provide the fastest response times

      Correct
    • Option B:
      The Data Engine is designed to conserve all available CPU and memory on the machine to
      provide efficient but fast response times
      Correct
    Show Answer & Explanation Hide Answer & Explanation

    Correct Answer: A

    Explanation

    The Tableau Data Engine (Hyper) is designed to fully utilize available system resources such as CPU and memory in order to deliver fast query performance and low-latency analytics. Rather than conserving resources, it is optimized for performance and will take advantage of multiple cores and available memory to process data efficiently and quickly. This design allows it to handle large datasets and complex queries with high speed.

  3. Question 3

    Multiple answers

    Which of the following statements are CORRECT about adding a load balancer to Tableau Server?
    (Select all)


    • Option A:
      When a load balance is used, the URL accessed by users belongs to the load balancer,
      not the initial node
      Correct
    • Option B:
      When a load balance is used, the URL accessed by users belongs to the initial node of
      Correct
    • Option C:
      Tableau Server, not the load balancer
      Correct
    • Option D:
      Unlike the repository process, which can be active or passive, all gateway processes are active
      Correct
    • Option E:
      Like the repository process, which can be active or passive, the gateway process can behave
      in the same manner
      Correct
    Show Answer & Explanation Hide Answer & Explanation

    Correct Answer: A, C

    Explanation

    The correct answers are A and C. When a load balancer is used in Tableau Server, users access the system through the load balancer URL rather than directly connecting to the initial node, making A correct. Additionally, gateway processes in Tableau Server are always active on each node and do not operate in active/passive mode like the repository process, so C is also correct. Option B is incorrect because users do not access Tableau Server through the initial node when a load balancer is implemented, and D is incorrect because it wrongly compares gateway behavior to repository failover, which does not apply to gateways.

  4. Question 4

    Multiple answers

    Fill in the blanks: Configuration and topology data is backed up with the command:

    • Option A:
      tsm settings export
      Correct
    • Option B:
      tsm site-config export
      Correct
    • Option C:
      tsm server-config export
      Correct
    • Option D:
      tsm settings backup
      Correct
    Show Answer & Explanation Hide Answer & Explanation

    Correct Answer: A

    Explanation

    Configuration and topology data in Tableau Server is backed up using the command tsm settings export, which exports server configuration, topology, and related settings into a file that can later be restored if needed. This command is specifically designed to capture configuration-level data, unlike other options such as site-config or server-config, which are not valid TSM commands.

  5. Question 5

    Multiple answers

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

    • Option A:
      Workbook metadata
      Correct
    • Option B:
      Extract (.tde or .hyper) files
      Correct
    • Option C:
      Coordination service configuration for a multi-node cluster
      Correct
    • Option D:
      Customization settings (e.g. headers, logos)
      Correct
    • Option E:
      Certificate files, key files, keytab files
      Correct
    • Option F:
      PostgreSQL database
      Correct
    Show Answer & Explanation Hide Answer & Explanation

    Correct Answer: B, F

    Explanation

    The tsm maintenance backup command in Tableau Server creates a backup of core server data stored in the PostgreSQL repository (F) and also includes extract files such as .tde or .hyper data extracts (B), which contain the actual published data used in workbooks and dashboards. Other items like workbook metadata, customization settings, certificate files, and coordination service configuration are not fully included in this backup type, as they are handled separately by other TSM export or backup processes.
