Choosing a licensing model that aligns with the global distribution of users and adheres to ATR requirements This choice ensures that the licensing model is suitable for the geo-graphical spread of the users, complying with ATR regulations across different regions, which is crucial for a multinational deployment. Option A is incorrect because the cheapest option may not meet the specific needs and compliance requirements of a multinational corporation. Option B is incorrect as ATR compliance is essential for legal and operational reasons, especially in a multinational context. Option D is incorrect because the licensing model should be based on broader organizational needs and compliance, not just the preferences of the IT department.

Configuring Tableau Server to only allow extensions from a trusted and verified extension list When implementing dashboard extensions in Tableau Server, it is crucial to configure the server to allow only extensions from a trusted and verified list. This approach ensures that only secure and approved extensions are used, safeguarding against potential security risks while still enabling the use of beneficial extensions. Option A is incorrect because allowing all extensions with-out restriction can pose significant security risks. Option B is incorrect as hosting all extensions on an external server might introduce additional security and performance concerns. Option D is incorrect because completely disabling all dashboard extensions eliminates the potential benefits they can provide and may not be necessary for maintaining security.

Verifying that all required dependencies are installed and up-to-date on the Linux system When facing a dependency resolution error during the installation of Tableau Server on Linux, the first step should be to verify that all necessary dependencies are installed and up-to-date. Dependency issues often arise from missing or outdated packages, and ensuring that the sys-tem meets all pre-installation requirements is key to resolving these issues. Option A is incorrect be-cause disabling firewall and antivirus software does not typically address dependency resolution problems. Option C is incorrect as configuring network settings for unrestricted internet access is not a standard approach to resolving dependency issues. Option D is incorrect because changing the hostname of the server is unlikely to resolve dependency-related installation errors.

Enabling at-rest encryption for data extracts within Tableau Server’s configuration settings Enabling at-rest encryption for data extracts within Tableau Server’s configuration is essential for securing the data extracts stored on the server. This feature encrypts the extract files stored on the server, protecting sensitive data from unauthorized access, especially if the server’s storage is compromised. Option A is incorrect as configuring a VPN tunnel addresses data in transit, not data at rest like extracts stored on the server. Option C is incorrect because a network intrusion detection system, while important for overall security, does not directly encrypt data extracts. Option D is incorrect as increasing storage capacity does not directly contribute to the encryption or security of data extracts.

Testing with the maximum number of users simultaneously to assess the peak performance capacity When recommending a load testing strategy for Tableau Server, it is crucial to test with the maximum number of users simultaneously. This approach assesses the server’s peak performance capacity and helps identify potential bottlenecks or issues that could arise under maxi-mum load, ensuring that the server can handle high user demand. Option B is incorrect because focusing solely on complex dashboards does not provide a complete picture of the server’s performance under varying conditions. Option C is incorrect as conducting tests only during off-peak hours might not accurately reflect the server’s performance during normal operational loads. Option D is incorrect because limiting the testing to only a few selected reports does not fully stress test the server’s capacity to handle a realistic and diverse set of user demands.

Ensuring that data governance and security policies are adapted for the cloud environment Adapting data governance and security policies for the cloud is critical to maintain da-ta integrity and comply with security standards in the new environment. Option A is incorrect be-cause data governance policies are still crucial in the cloud environment. Option C is incorrect as neglecting data security can lead to significant risks and compliance issues. Option D is incorrect because completely redesigning all dashboards is not necessary and may be resource-intensive with-out adding value to the migration process.

Optimizing the calculated fields by simplifying their formulas or pre-calculating values where possible The most effective action to resolve delays caused by complex calculated fields in a Tableau dashboard is to optimize these fields. This can be achieved by simplifying the formulas used in the calculations or pre-calculating values in the data source, if possible. This approach directly addresses the root cause of the delays without the need for extensive changes to the server or dashboard. Option A is incorrect because while increasing hardware specifications might improve performance, it does not address the inherent inefficiency of the complex calculations. Op-tion C is incorrect as limiting user access does not solve the underlying issue with the calculated fields. Option D is incorrect because rebuilding the entire dashboard is an excessive measure and may not be necessary if the calculated fields can be optimized.

Checking for and resolving any software conflicts, such as incompatible versions of dependencies or conflicting applications When facing an error related to software conflicts during the installation of Tableau Server on Windows, the initial step should be to check for and resolve these conflicts. This may involve updating dependencies to compatible versions or addressing conflicts with other applications on the system. Option A is incorrect as upgrading the operating system, while potentially helpful, is not the first step to take before identifying specific software conflicts. Option C is incorrect because disconnecting from the network does not address software compatibility issues on the system. Option D is incorrect as changing regional and language settings is unlikely to resolve software conflicts affecting the installation of Tableau Server.

Scheduling extract refreshes during off-peak hours to minimize impact on performance An effective architectural adjustment in response to performance impacts from data ex-tract refreshes is to reschedule these refreshes to off-peak hours. This change minimizes the performance impact during business hours when server demand is typically higher, thereby maintaining better overall server performance. Option A is incorrect because switching all data extracts to live connections might not be feasible or desirable for all data sources and can have its own performance implications. Option C is incorrect as completely disabling extract refreshes could compromise data freshness and functionality for users. Option D is incorrect because while upgrading the CPU may improve performance, it does not address the core issue of extract refreshes impacting server use during peak times.
