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.

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.

TSM commands manage Tableau Server maintenance—let’s validate their syntax:

Command Requirements:

Some need arguments (e.g., file paths); others are standalone.

Valid and Complete: Must work as-is without errors.

Option C (tsm maintenance cleanup): Correct.

Details: Removes temporary files and old logs—no arguments required (optional flags like -l exist).

Use: tsm maintenance cleanup—runs fully.

Option D (tsm maintenance ziplogs): Correct.

Details: Creates a zip of logs (e.g., tsm-logs.zip)—no arguments needed (optional -d for date range).

Use: tsm maintenance ziplogs—complete and valid.

Option A (tsm maintenance backup): Incorrect.

Why: Requires -f .tsbak (e.g., tsm maintenance backup -f backup.tsbak)—incomplete without it.

Option B (tsm maintenance restore): Incorrect.

Why: Needs -f .tsbak (e.g., tsm maintenance restore -f backup.tsbak)—not standalone.

Why This Matters: Correct syntax ensures maintenance tasks execute without errors—critical for server health.
