Exam DP-600 topic 1 question 142 discussion

When you save as a project, Power BI Desktop saves report and semantic model items as folders, each containing text files that define the item: Project/ ├── AdventureWorks.Report/ ├── AdventureWorks.SemanticModel/ ├── .gitignore └── AdventureWorks.pbip .gitIgnore Specifies intentionally untracked files Git should ignore for Power BI Project files, such as the cache.abf and localSettings.json. **/.pbi/localSettings.json **/.pbi/cache.abf

I think both B and C are correct answers. this is content from default setting from .gitignore: **/.pbi/localSettings.json **/.pbi/cache.abf

cache.abf contains data You dont want to track local cached copy of the model and data in git, however localsettings,json also contains sinsitive information but is on base64 , in a multiple answer question you should select 2 options, since you only have one , cache.abf will have higher priority

In localSettings.json are stored several settings, including secrets and credentials. Although this file is important for local development, it should never be pushed to the git server to prevent sensitive information leaks.

Explanation: When using Azure DevOps for version control in a Power BI project, you need to exclude sensitive data values (such as connection strings, credentials, and local configurations). The localSettings.json file contains environment-specific settings, including: Local dataset credentials Server connections User-specific configurations By referencing localSettings.json in the .gitignore file, you ensure that sensitive information is not pushed to the repository.

Seems like cache.abf is the right answer. It has data values from the data sources, and some other sensitive info you may not want to upload. localfiles.json contains settings specific to the local environment, such as paths or configurations for testing/debugging. Not the data values from the Data Sources.

You have a Microsoft Power BI project that contains a semantic model. You plan to use Azure DevOps for version control. You need to modify the .gitignore file to prevent the data values from the data sources from being pushed to the repository. Which file should you reference? B. cache.abf

B. cache.abf Justification: This file contains the cached data for the semantic model. It is a binary file and can be very large. Excluding this file from version control is necessary to prevent pushing large amounts of unnecessary data, and will prevent data from data sources from being pushed to the repository. Why it's the correct option: Contains the cached data from the data model.
