Not sure about that, I feel like it should update more frequently.

Wait, so it doesn't update at report runtime? That's surprising!

I’m leaning towards option A, but I recall something about needing to reimport data too. It’s a bit confusing!

I feel like data might get updated at report runtime, but that seems too convenient. I need to double-check my notes on this.

I remember practicing a question similar to this, and I think it was about reimporting data into tables. Maybe option B is correct?

I think the data updates when you republish the datasource, but I'm not entirely sure if that's the only time it happens.

I've got a good feeling about option B. The data must be updated when the tables are reimported and the data source is republished.

I'm a bit confused by the wording of the options. I'll need to re-read the question and think through the implications of each choice.

I heard the new Prism data source can update itself by telepathy. Is that an option?

D, definitely D. Why would you want to wait for a full republish just to see the latest data? That's so 1990s.

B seems like the correct answer to me. You need to reimport the data and then republish the data source for the updates to take effect.

Got it, thanks for clarifying. So, the data is not updated at report runtime then.

Lynelle

I think B is the right answer. You have to reimport the data and then republish the data source for the updates to show.

I think the answer is D. At report runtime makes the most sense, since the data source is updated on demand when the report is generated.

I agree with you, B seems like the correct option. It makes sense that the data would be updated when the tables are reimported.
