CompTIA DS0-001 Exam - Topic 4 Question 39 Discussion

Actual exam question for CompTIA's DS0-001 exam

Question #: 39
Topic #: 4

Over the weekend, a company's transaction database was moved to an upgraded server. All validations performed after the migration indicated that the database was functioning as expected. However, on Monday morning, multiple users reported that the corporate reporting application was not working.

Which of the following are the most likely causes? (Choose two.)

AThe access permissions for the service account used by the reporting application were not changed.

BThe new database server has its own reporting system, so the old one is not needed.

CThe reporting jobs that could not process during the database migration have locked the application.

DThe reporting application's mapping to the database location was not updated.

EThe database server is not permitted to fulfill requests from a reporting application.

FThe reporting application cannot keep up with the new, faster response from the database.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A, D

The most likely causes of the reporting application not working are that the access permissions for the service account used by the reporting application were not changed, and that the reporting application's mapping to the database location was not updated. These two factors could prevent the reporting application from accessing the new database server. The other options are either irrelevant or unlikely to cause the problem.Reference:CompTIA DataSys+ Course Outline, Domain 3.0 Database Management and Maintenance, Objective 3.2 Given a scenario, troubleshoot common database issues.

I doubt it's the reporting jobs locking anything.

Definitely think it's the mapping that needs updating.

Sounds like a permissions issue to me.

Wait, the new server has its own reporting system? That's surprising!

I agree, the access permissions are probably the culprit.

I vaguely recall something about locked applications from our practice questions, so option C might be worth considering as well.

I feel like option D could be a strong candidate too, especially if the database location changed during the migration.

I'm not too sure about option B; I thought the old reporting system would still be needed for some applications.

I remember we discussed access permissions in class, so option A seems likely since the service account might not have the right permissions after the migration.

This is a classic IT problem, and I think I know just how to tackle it. I'll start by looking at the access permissions and the database location mapping, and then move on to the other possibilities if those don't pan out.

I've got a good feeling about this one. The reporting jobs getting locked during the migration seems like the most plausible explanation to me. I'll focus on that as my primary strategy.

I'm a bit confused by the options here. Is it possible that the reporting application itself is the issue, rather than the database migration? I'll need to do some more research to figure this out.

Okay, let's see. The access permissions for the reporting application seem like a likely culprit, so I'll start by checking that. The database location mapping is also a good thing to double-check.

Hmm, this seems like a tricky one. I'll need to carefully consider the options and think through the potential issues that could arise from a database migration.

I think C) could also be a possible cause. If reporting jobs got locked during migration, it could affect the application.

Haha, option B? What is this, the 90s? Nah, it's gotta be D and F. The new server is just too fast for the poor old reporting app to keep up.

I agree with you, Yuette. The service account permissions and database location are crucial for the reporting application to function properly.

Wait, why would the new database server have its own reporting system? That's just silly. I'm going with D and A - permissions were probably messed up too.

Hmm, I'm thinking it's both D and C. Those pesky migration jobs probably got stuck and locked up the whole system. Gotta love legacy tech, am I right?
