How can an existing accelerated data model be edited?

Answer options

• A. It cannot be edited. A new data model would need to be created.
• B. The data model must be de-accelerated before edits can be made to its structure.
• C. An accelerated data model can be edited once its .tsidx file has expired.
• D. An accelerated data model can be edited from the Pivot tool.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because de-accelerating the data model allows for structural changes to be made. Option A is incorrect as it is possible to edit an accelerated data model after de-acceleration. Option C is misleading; edits cannot be made simply based on the expiration of the .tsidx file. Option D is incorrect since the Pivot tool does not allow direct editing of an accelerated data model.
