Question

Note: This question is part of a series of questions that present the same scenario. Each question in the series contains a unique solution that might meet the stated goals. Some question sets might have more than one correct solution, while others might not have a correct solution. After you answer a question in this section, you will NOT be able to return to it. As a result, these questions will not appear in the review screen. You have an on-premises data gateway. You need to reduce the amount of data sent through the gateway by semantic models that run in Import storage mode. Solution: You decrease the dashboard cache update frequency. Does this meet the goal?

Why each option

Decreasing the dashboard cache update frequency does not reduce the amount of data sent through the gateway by semantic models in Import storage mode.

AYes

Decreasing the dashboard cache update frequency reduces the *frequency* of data retrieval for dashboard tiles, but it does not directly impact the *volume* of data that passes through the gateway during the actual dataset refresh, which is the primary source of data for Import mode semantic models.

BNoCorrect

Decreasing dashboard cache update frequency only affects how often cached dashboard tiles are refreshed from already processed datasets in the Power BI service, not the amount of data transferred from the on-premises source to the Power BI service via the gateway during dataset refresh for Import mode semantic models.
