Which two conditions must be met to schedule the refresh? Choose two.

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A, D

To schedule a refresh of the data, you need to ensure that Tableau Server or Tableau Online can access the database without prompting for credentials. This can be done by embedding the credentials in the workbook or the published data source. You also need to extract the data from the database and publish it as a separate data source or as part of the workbook. A live connection would not allow you to refresh the data on a schedule, as it would always query the database directly. A hyper file is a format for storing extracted data, but it is not a requirement for scheduling a refresh.Reference:

I feel like I’ve seen options where live connections were mentioned, but I can’t recall if they’re necessary for scheduling a refresh.

I’m a bit confused; does the data source need to be a hyper file, or is it enough for it to just be extracted?

I remember practicing a question like this, and I think the data source has to be extracted to schedule the refresh.

I think the credentials need to be embedded for the refresh to work, but I'm not sure about the second condition.

Alright, I think I've got this. The key is that the database requires authentication, so the credentials need to be embedded. And since we want to schedule a daily refresh, the data source has to use a live connection. A and C are the way to go.

Hmm, this is a tricky one. I'm not totally clear on the difference between a live connection and a hyper file. I'll need to read the question carefully and think through the implications of each option.

I've done something similar before, so I've got a good handle on this. I'm pretty sure the credentials need to be embedded, and the data source has to use a live connection. I'll double-check, but I think A and C are the right answers.

Okay, let me think this through. I know the data source needs to be live, so that rules out option D. But I'm not sure about the other conditions - I'll have to review the details on embedding credentials and using a hyper file.

Hmm, this seems pretty straightforward. I think the key is understanding the database authentication requirements and how that impacts the refresh options.
