Question 50
A service report must respect changes to a pre-existing published model's business measures. What design avoids a stale local fork?
Explanation
Correct Answer
Keep the report connected to the maintained upstream semantic model. Upstream updates are reused without rebuilding a separate semantic model copy.
Incorrect Answers
Production refresh should not depend on one author's workstation. That is a different operating condition from “changes to a pre-existing published model's business measures”: “breaks in the service”.
Shared models reduce duplicated measures and inconsistent business calculations. It serves “model into each report, producing conflicting metric definitions”, not “changes to a pre-existing published model's business measures”.
Standardize common transformations and measures in a certified shared model. The present requirement is “changes to a pre-existing published model's business measures”; “conflicting exchange-rate assumptions to the same executive workspace” is a distinct situation.
