Free SCA-C01 Practice Questions

Explore 5 free practice questions for the Tableau SCA-C01 exam and review the answers and explanations to support your preparation.

  1. Question 1

    Single answer

    Which Tableau Server process is being described?
    • Runs server tasks, including extract refreshes, subscriptions, ‘Run Now’ tasks
    • Tasks initiated from tabcmd

    • Option A:
      Backgrounder

      Correct
    • Option B:
      Application Server
      Correct
    • Option C:
      Ask Data
      Correct
    • Option D:
      Cache Server
      Correct
    Show Answer & Explanation Hide Answer & Explanation

    Correct Answer: A

    Explanation

    The Backgrounder process in Tableau Server is responsible for running all background and scheduled tasks that do not require immediate user interaction. This includes extract refreshes, subscriptions, “Run Now” jobs, and tasks triggered via tabcmd. Essentially, whenever a job is queued to run in the background rather than in real time, the Backgrounder processes and executes it.
    Other options are incorrect because the Application Server handles user authentication and UI requests, Ask Data supports natural language querying, and the Cache Server manages cached query results rather than executing background jobs.

  2. Question 2

    Single answer

    What is the minimum number of Tableau Server nodes required to satisfy High Availability (HA)
    requirements?

    • Option A:
      6
      Correct
    • Option B:
      4
      Correct
    • Option C:
      3
      Correct
    • Option D:
      2
      Correct
    • Option E:
      8
      Correct
    Show Answer & Explanation Hide Answer & Explanation

    Correct Answer: C

    Explanation

    For Tableau Server High Availability (HA), the minimum requirement is 3 nodes. This is because HA requires redundancy for critical processes (like repository and file store) so that if one node fails, another can take over without downtime. With only two nodes, full HA cannot be achieved for all required services, so a third node is necessary to properly distribute and protect essential components.

  3. Question 3

    Multiple answers

    Which of the following are correct statements that describe silent installs? (Select all)

    • Option A:
      To start Tableau Server, use tbcmd start
      Correct
    • Option B:
      To start Tableau Server, use tsm start
      Correct
    • Option C:
      Tableau Server does not start automatically when installed in /silent or /quiet mode
      Correct
    • Option D:
      Tableau Server does not start automatically when installed in /silent or /hush mode
      Correct
    Show Answer & Explanation Hide Answer & Explanation

    Correct Answer: B, C

    Explanation

    A silent install of Tableau Server is performed without a graphical interface, typically using flags like /silent or /quiet. After installation, Tableau Server does not start automatically, meaning manual startup is required. This makes C correct. To start Tableau Server after installation, the correct command is tsm start, which is used to manage Tableau Services Manager operations, making B correct. Option A is incorrect because tbcmd start is not a valid command, and D is incorrect because /hush is not a recognized installation mode in Tableau Server.

  4. Question 4

    Single answer

    As defined in the End User License Agreement, how many non-production environments are allowed
    for a Tableau Server license?

    • Option A:
      2
      Correct
    • Option B:
      1
      Correct
    • Option C:
      3
      Correct
    • Option D:
      4
      Correct
    • Option E:
      5
      Correct
    Show Answer & Explanation Hide Answer & Explanation

    Correct Answer: A

    Explanation

    As defined in the Tableau Server End User License Agreement (EULA), a Tableau Server license permits two non-production environments. These are typically used for purposes such as development, testing, or staging, allowing organizations to validate configurations and changes before deploying them to production.

  5. Question 5

    Multiple answers

    Select the correct statements that pertain to static and dynamic IP addresses when running Tableau
    Server:

    • Option A:
      For a single-node installation of Tableau Server, a static IP address must be used
      Correct
    • Option B:
      For a single-node installation of Tableau Server, a dynamic IP address must be used
      Correct
    • Option C:
      For a multi-node installation of Tableau Server, a static IP address must be used
      Correct
    • Option D:
      For a multi-node installation of Tableau Server, a dynamic IP address must be used
      Correct
    Show Answer & Explanation Hide Answer & Explanation

    Correct Answer: A, C

    Explanation

    For Tableau Server, a static IP address is required in both single-node and multi-node installations to ensure consistent network identity and reliable communication between components. In a single-node setup, a static IP ensures the server remains reachable at a fixed address, making A correct. In a multi-node environment, static IPs are even more important because nodes must reliably communicate with each other for services like repository, file store, and coordination, so C is also correct. Options B and D are incorrect because dynamic IP addresses can change, which would break service connectivity and cluster stability.
