Qlik QSDA2024 Exam - Topic 3 Question 20 Discussion

Actual exam question for Qlik's QSDA2024 exam
Question #: 20
Topic #: 3
[All QSDA2024 Questions]

A data architect implements Section Access on an app to reduce the data for each user when the user logs in. Each user is allowed to see their specific territory only.

The app is set for a scheduled reload every three hours. Without Section Access added, the app loads successfully. When Section Access is added and the script runs, the app fails to load.

What is causing this issue?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D

In this scenario, the data architect is using a GENERIC LOAD statement in the script to handle the data structure provided. A GENERIC LOAD is used in Qlik Sense when you have data in a key-value pair structure and you want to transform it into a more traditional table structure, where each attribute becomes a column.

Given the input data table with three columns (Object, Attribute, Value), and the attributes in the Attribute field being either color, diameter, length, or width, the GENERIC LOAD will create separate tables based on the combinations of Object and each Attribute.

Here's how the GENERIC LOAD works:

For each unique object (circle, rectangle, square), the GENERIC LOAD creates separate tables based on the distinct values of the Attribute field.

Each of these tables will contain two fields: Object and the specific attribute (e.g., color, diameter, length, width).

Breakdown:

Table for circle:

Fields: Object, color, diameter

Table for rectangle:

Fields: Object, color, length, width

Table for square:

Fields: Object, color, length

Each distinct attribute (color, diameter, length, width) and object combination generates a separate table.

Final Count of Tables:

The script will create 6 separate tables: one for each unique combination of Object and Attribute.


Qlik Sense Documentation on Generic Load: Generic loads are used to pivot key-value pair data structures into multiple tables, where each key (in this case, the Attribute field values) forms a new column in its own table.

Why would the ACCESS column be lowercase? That sounds weird!

D seems unlikely, the architect should have rights to reload.

I think it's option B, the service account needs to be in the Section Access table.

I recall something about permissions too. If the data architect doesn't have the right to reload, that could definitely be a problem.

I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like a typo in a username could cause the app to fail to load. That seems plausible.

I think it might be related to the service account not being included in the Section Access table. We had a practice question about that last week.

I remember we discussed how the ACCESS column needs to be in uppercase for Section Access to work properly. Could that be the issue here?

I feel pretty confident about this one. Based on the information provided, it seems like the most likely issue is that the service account running the task is not included in the Section Access table. I'll double-check that first.

I've seen issues like this before with Section Access. My guess is that it's probably something simple, like a typo in the user name or the column name not matching exactly. I'll make sure to scrutinize those details.

I'm a bit confused on this one. The question mentions that the app loads successfully without Section Access, so I wonder if the issue is specifically related to how the Section Access is set up. I'll need to review the options carefully.

Okay, let's think this through step-by-step. The key things to check are the Section Access table - the column name, the user names, and the service account. I'll make sure to double-check all of those.
