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.

Hmm, I'm not sure. I'll have to think about this one a bit more. Maybe I'll just guess and hope for the best.

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.

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.
