Registering the connected app in Tableau Server and obtaining client credentials (client ID and secret) Registering the connected app in Tableau Server and obtaining client credentials is essential for secure integration. These credentials are used to authenticate the app with Tableau Server, ensuring that only authorized apps can access data and resources, and maintaining se-cure communication between the app and the server. Option A is incorrect because creating a unique user account for each app user is not necessary for Connected App authentication, which is based on app-level credentials. Option C is incorrect as allocating additional storage on Tableau Server is not directly related to the configuration of Connected App authentication. Option D is incorrect because setting up a VPN is not a standard requirement for configuring Connected App authentication.

Establishing a trusted relationship between the Tableau Server and the web server hosting the embedded solution When setting up trusted tickets for a custom embedded solution in Tableau Server, it’s crucial to establish a trusted relationship between the Tableau Server and the web server hosting the embedded solution. This ensures secure and seamless authentication of users accessing Tableau content through the embedded application. Option A is incorrect because disabling all other forms of authentication is not necessary and may limit flexibility in access control. Option C is incorrect as configuring Tableau Server to accept trusted tickets from any domain can pose significant security risks. Option D is incorrect because trusted tickets should not be the sole method for content distribution, as they are specifically designed for user authentication in embedded scenarios.

Moderate-capacity server with reliable network connectivity, adequate for small team collaboration For a small team of 20 analysts, a moderate-capacity server with reliable network connectivity provides a balanced and cost-effective solution, ensuring good performance without over-investing in unnecessary high-end infrastructure. Option A is incorrect because enterprise-grade infrastructure is excessive for a small team and may not be cost-effective. Option C is incorrect as the highest available specifications may be overkill for a small consulting firm and not a financially prudent choice. Option D is incorrect because consumer-grade hardware and a standard residential internet connection may not provide the reliability and performance needed for professional Tableau use.

Implementing both SSL/TLS for data in transit and at-rest encryption for stored data This configuration ensures that data is encrypted both when it’s being transmitted over the network (SSL/TLS) and when it’s stored on disk (at-rest encryption), providing comprehensive security for sensitive financial data. Option A is incorrect because it does not address the requirement for encryption of data at rest. Option B is incorrect as it suggests using unencrypted external file storage, which is not secure. Option D is incorrect because relying only on network-level encryption leaves data at rest unsecured.

Mirroring the hardware and software configurations of the production environment as closely as possible When setting up a test environment for load testing, it is crucial to mirror the production environment’s hardware and software configurations as closely as possible. This similarity ensures that the test results are representative of how the Tableau Server would perform in the actual production setting, providing reliable and actionable insights. Option A is incorrect because having significantly higher specifications in the test environment can provide misleading results that do not reflect the actual production performance. Option C is incorrect as using a simplified dataset might not adequately represent the complexity of real-world usage in the production environment. Option D is incorrect because excluding security protocols can affect performance measurements and does not accurately reflect the production environment’s constraints.

The ‘data_connections’ table to gain insights into connections and performance of published data sources The ‘data_connections’ table in the Tableau repository schema is critical for tracking the performance of published data sources. It provides detailed information on each connection made to the data sources, offering insights into how these data sources are being accessed and utilized, which is crucial for understanding and optimizing their performance. Option A is incorrect because the ‘users’ table, while identifying users, does not provide specific information on data source performance. Option C is incorrect as the ‘background_tasks’ table focuses on scheduled tasks and does not offer detailed insights into real-time data source performance. Option D is incorrect because the ‘server_usage’ table provides a broad overview of server activity but does not offer the granular details required for monitoring specific data source performance.

Ensuring compatibility of data sources and security protocols between Tableau Cloud and Tableau Server This approach focuses on the compatibility of data sources and security protocols, which are critical for ensuring that the migrated environment functions correctly and securely. Option A is incorrect because discontinuing Tableau Cloud before starting the migration can lead to data and service disruptions. Option C is incorrect as migrating all users without testing can result in unforeseen issues impacting user experience and data integrity. Option D is incorrect be-cause the migration of visualizations should be prioritized only after ensuring data source compatibility.

Including a variety of dashboards and data sources that reflect the actual usage patterns seen in the production environment For the test results to be meaningful and applicable, it is important to include a variety of dashboards and data sources in the test environment that closely mimic the actual usage patterns of the production environment. This approach ensures that the load testing covers a range of scenarios and provides insights that are relevant to the real-world operation of the Tableau Server. Option A is incorrect because using older hardware might not accurately rep-resent the current production environment and could provide skewed results. Option C is incorrect as completely isolating the test environment may not be practical and can omit important interactions that could impact performance. Option D is incorrect because testing should simulate a variety of conditions, including peak usage times, to fully understand the server’s capabilities.

The node should have more processing power and memory compared to other nodes in the deployment For optimal performance, the node dedicated to the backgrounder process should have more processing power and memory. This is because backgrounder tasks such as data extraction, subscription tasks, and complex calculations are resource-intensive and can benefit from additional computational resources. Option A is incorrect as while a fast network connection is beneficial, it is not the primary consideration for a backgrounder node, which relies more on processing power and memory. Option C is incorrect because the geographical location of the backgrounder node is less relevant than its hardware capabilities. Option D is incorrect as running a different operating system does not inherently improve the performance of the backgrounder node and may introduce compatibility issues.

Ensuring that the server has sufficient processing power and memory to handle the additional load from encrypting and decrypting extracts When implementing extract encryption in Tableau Server, it’s important to ensure that the server is equipped with adequate processing power and memory. Encrypting and decrypting extracts can impose additional load on the server, so it’s crucial to balance this security feature with the server’s capability to maintain optimal performance. Option A is incorrect because it creates a mixed environment where some extracts are encrypted and others are not, leading to inconsistent security practices. Option C is incorrect as disabling extract encryption during peak times undermines the purpose of having consistent security measures. Option D is incorrect because the decision to encrypt extracts should not be based on the number of users accessing them, but rather on a uniform security policy.
