Qlik QSDA2024 Exam - Topic 5 Question 6 Discussion

Posted by Beth on Sep 08, 2024 at 12:23 AM

A startup company is about have its Initial Public Offering (IPO) on the New York Stock Exchange.

This startup company has used Qlik Sense for many years for data-based decision making for Sales and Marketing efforts, as well as for input into Financial Reporting. The startup's Qlik Sense applications use variables that have different values at different points in time.

Due to the increased rigor required in record keeping for public companies, these variables must be clearly recorded in the script reload logs of the Qlik Sense applications. These logs are refreshed daily.

The data architect wants to have the variables names, with their current values, written into the script reload logs. Which script statement should the data architect use?

Suggested Answer: B

In the scenario where the startup company is preparing for an IPO, there is an increased need for meticulous record-keeping, including the recording of variable values used in Qlik Sense applications. The TRACE statement is the most suitable option for logging variable values during script execution.

TRACE: This statement writes custom messages, including variable values, to the script execution log. By using TRACE, you can ensure that every reload log contains the names and current values of all relevant variables, providing the necessary transparency and traceability.

For example, the script could include:

TRACE $(VariableName);

This command will output the variable's value in the script log, ensuring it is recorded for audit purposes.

I thought REM was just for comments, not logging values.

I remember using LogDetail for similar purposes, but not sure if it fits here.

Wait, are we sure Trace is the right choice? Seems too simple.

I think the answer is B, Trace. It logs messages during reloads.

I’m leaning towards "Trace" as well, but I wonder if "LogDetail" could also work. I need to double-check how they differ in functionality.

I feel like "Tag" could be relevant, but I can't recall if it actually outputs values to the logs. It might just categorize things instead.

I remember practicing a similar question where we had to log variable values, and I think "LogDetail" was mentioned, but it seems more focused on detailed logs rather than variable values.

I think the answer might be "Trace" because it logs messages during the script execution, but I'm not entirely sure.

Ah, I think I've got it! The "REM" statement is used to add comments to the script, which would be a good way to log the variable names and values. I'm feeling confident about this one.

I remember learning about the different Qlik Sense script statements, but I'm drawing a blank on which one is used to write variable details to the script reload logs. I'll have to carefully re-read the question and think it through.

Okay, let me think this through. The question is asking for a script statement to log variable names and their current values. I'm thinking the "Tag" statement might be the right choice, but I'm not 100% sure.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I know we covered Qlik Sense in class, but I can't quite remember the specific statement we need to use here.

This seems like a straightforward question about Qlik Sense script statements. I'm pretty confident I can figure this out.

I've got this! The '../' means we're going up one directory level, so we're looking at the contents of the /home/user/Documents/ directory. Easy peasy!

I think LogDetail makes more sense because it specifically mentions recording details in the logs.

This is a real head-scratcher. I'm going to go with C) Tag, because it sounds like it could be used to 'tag' the variable names and values in the logs.

I'm not sure about D) REM, it doesn't seem like it would be the correct statement to use for recording variables in the logs.
