(1) You are designing a SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) package. You currently have three Data Flow tasks: tasks A, B, and C. You have tasks A and B running concurrently and task C running after both complete successfully.

You want to set up a constraint so that task C will run if task A succeeds, regardless of whether task B succeeds or fails.

How would you accomplish this?

(a) Add a precedence constraint between task A and task C. Set Evaluation Operation to Expression or Constraint.

(b) Change the precedence constraint between task B and C to On Completion.(c) Add a precedence constraint between task B and task C. Under Multiple Constraints, select Logical OR.(d) Add a precedence constraint between task A and task B. Under Multiple Constraints, select Logical OR.

Precedence Constraint

(2) You are designing a SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) package and currently have a Control Flow task that has two SQL Server tasks. If one of the SQL Server tasks fails, you want to roll back the transaction for both of the SQL Server tasks.

How would you set this up?

1 of 113

(a) Add one Sequence Container to the package and place both SQL Server tasks in the sequence container. Set TransactionOption to Supported.

(b) Add one Sequence Container to the package and place both SQL Server tasks in the sequence container. Set TransactionOption to Required.

(c) Add two Sequence Containers to the package. Place each SQL Server task in a sequence container. Set TransactionOption to Supported.

(d) Add two Sequence Containers to the package. Place each SQL Server task in a sequence container. Set TransactionOption to Required.

TransactionOption

(3) You are designing a SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) package and have five tasks contained in a sequence container. The sequence container is set up with transactions so that if any of the tasks fail, the transaction will roll back. You want to add an Execute SQL task for logging in between each Data Flow task. You do not want the logging data to roll back.

How must you configure each of the SQL Server logging tasks?

2 of 113

(a) Add a sequence container for each Execute SQL task and place each Execute SQL task in a sequence container. Set TransactionOption to Supported.

(b) Set TransactionOption in each Execute SQL task to Required.(c) Set TransactionOption in each Execute SQL task to NotSupported.(d) Set TransactionOption in each Execute SQL task to False.

Logging Task Transaction NotSupported to be excluded from the container; SSIS Logging > SSIS log provider for SQL Server, Configuration a database, log would be in dbo.sysSSISlog; Choose log whole package or individual tasks (as the 'source' column in the log table) and the 'event' to log

(4) You are designing a SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) package. You have two Execute SQL tasks contained in a sequence container. TransactionOption for the sequence container is set to Supported. When the package runs, one Execute SQL task fails and the other Execute SQL task succeeds.

What is the outcome of the package?

(a) Both of the Execute SQL tasks roll back.(b) The package fails. The data in the successful task remains.(c) The package succeeds. The data in the successful task remains.(d) The package succeeds. The data in both tasks rolls back.

Container TransactionOptions_Supported, one task success, one fail --> container fail, data remains

(5) You are managing a set of SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) packages. You have restartability turned on for one of the packages. You are now designing a new package that will run immediately after the first package. Its purpose it to check to see if the first package completed successfully (by checking for the existence of the checkpoint file), and if not, it should run a set of cleanup operations.

How can you set up the new package so that it will run only if it finds a checkpoint file?

3 of 113

(a) Add the @[System::CheckpointUsage] == True expression to the package.(b) Add a sequence container to the package. Place all the tasks in Sequence Container. Right-click and select

Add A Precedence Constraint From Checkpoint File.(c) Add a File System task. Set Operation to Check File. Set Source Connection to the name of the checkpoint

file.(d) Set the CheckpointUsage package property to Always and CheckpointFileName to the name of the

checkpoint file.

Package restartbility, CheckpointFile, CheckpointUsage; Both the SSIS package Checkpoint properties and the individual task properties need to be set appropriately in order to implement the restart at the point of failure behavior.Package CheckpointUsage: IfExists, package starts from last failure; if Always, a checkpoint file has to exists (defined in CheckpointFileName) before the package can start

(6) You are designing a SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) package. You currently have a Foreach Loop container with a Script task inside. Foreach Loop is looping through a set of text files. The Script task creates a new variable for the name of the text file plus the current time.

You would like to verify that you have set up the variable properly.

How can you view the value of the variable in the Script task?

4 of 113

(a) Add a data viewer before the Script task.(b) Add a breakpoint to the Foreach Loop container.(c) Add a data viewer after the Script task.(d) Add a breakpoint to the Script task.

Foreach Loop Beakpoint; In dataflow, use DataViewer

(7) You have added a Lookup Transformation. Some rows might not be found during the lookup. You would like these rows to be sent to a text file.

How would you configure this?

5 of 113

(a) Connect the green data path from the Lookup transformation to Flat File Destination. When prompted to choose an output, select the Lookup No Match Output option.

(b) Configure Error Output and set the Error drop-down list value to Redirect Row. Direct Error Output to a Flat File destination.

(c) Configure Error Output and set the Error drop-down list value to Fail Component. Enable logging for the package. Configure the error log to capture OnError events.

(d) Connect the green data path from the Lookup transformation to the Flat File destination. When prompted to choose an output, select the Lookup Match Output option.

LookUp: input 1,3 match with 1,2,3,4, no match is empty; input 1,2,..,6, no match 5,6. NoMatch only output field from the input file; image Vlookup errored cells

(8) You are designing a SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) package. You add a Lookup task to the package. The SQL query the Lookup task is running might return no rows. You do not want the package to fail if the lookup returns 0 records. If 0 records are returned, you would like the data flow to continue as designed, with NULL for the columns returned by the lookup.

How would you configure this?

6 of 113

(a) Do nothing. A Lookup task returning 0 records does not return an error.(b) In the Configure Error Output dialog box, set the Error drop-down list value to Ignore Failure.(c) In the Configure Error Output dialog box, set the Truncate drop-down list value to Ignore Failure.(d) Add an OLE DB Destination task. Link the error output of Lookup to the OLE DB destination. In the

Configure Error Output dialog box, set the Error drop-down list value to Redirect Row.

Lookup Editor, Specify how to handle rows with no matching entries, default is Fail component AND when output is Lookup Match Output, the Lookup step will fail.

(9) You are implementing a SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) package. You are populating a sales database. The Sales table has a numeric column called Units Sold. You would like to validate that the Units Sold value is properly distributed before finishing the package.

Which Data Flow task would you use?

(a) Lookup(b) Union All(c) Merge Join(d) Multicast

7 of 113

Merge stacks up two sorted datasets; UnionAll stacks up multiple non-sorted datasets; Merge Join is same as JOIN in t-sql, support Inner join, left join and full outer join. Multicast, copy same data to multiple destinations.

(11) You are developing a SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) package to create a dimension table. You are using an OLE DB source to pull in the source data and would like to check whether the records already exist in the dimension table.

(a) Change the KeyColumns property to the ProductSort attribute.(b) Change the NameColumn property to the ProductSort attribute.(c) Change the OrderBy property to AttributeKey.(d) Set the OrderByAttribute property to the ProductSort attribute.

Dimension, order the members of one attribute by: its own key/name or by another attribute’s key/name. This another attribute is defined by “OrderByAttribute”

(65) You are developing a SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) cube.

Your current fact table does not have a value populated for the product dimension key. Currently, the Product dimension is showing the Product Name as blank for these records. You would like the Product Name to display as N/A in these instances.

How would you configure the Product dimension?

38 of 113

(a) In the dimension properties of the Product dimension, set UnknownMember property to Visible and the UnknownMemberName property to N/A. Set the NullProcessing property to UnknownMember for the Product Key attribute.

(b) In the Product dimension, set UnknownMember property to Visible, the UnknownMemberName property to N/A, and the NullProcessing property to UnknownMember for the Product Name attribute.

(c) In the Product dimension, set the NullProcessing property to N/A for the Product Key attribute.(d) In the Product dimension, set UnknownMember property to Visible and the UnknownMemberName

property to N/A for the Product Name attribute. Set the NullProcessing property to UnknownMember for the Product Key attribute.

Dimension UnknownMember,Visible. UnknownMemberName, N/A. Dimension Key NullProcessing, UnknownMember.

(66) You have a Product dimension that has a Price Range attribute. You don't want the users to be able to browse data by the Price Range attribute. The Price Range attribute participates in a Product Model hierarchy with two levels, formed by the Product Category and Price Range attributes.

What property of the Price Range attribute do you need to change to make the attribute unavailable to end users without affecting the Product Model hierarchy?

39 of 113

(a) AttributeHierarchyOptimizedState(b) AttributeHierarchyOrdered(c) AttributeHierarchyEnabled(d) AttributeHierarchyVisible

Dimension AttributeHierarchyVisible

(67) You have a Product dimension with several attributes. One of the attributes, Product Size, is the measurement of the units of weight or length based on the product type. The values for this attribute are highly unique, but there are still some reasons to include it as an attribute hierarchy. However, you want to limit the processing and query overhead for this attribute so that other more relevant attributes will be optimized.

Which attribute property must you change to limit the overhead of the Product Size attribute?

(a) Set the GroupingBehavior property to False.(b) Change the AttributeHierarchyOptimizedState property to NotOptimized.(c) Set the IsAggregatable property to False.(d) Change the AttributeHierarchyEnabled property to False.

AttributeHierarchyOptimizedState, FullyOptimized or NotOptimized. NotOptimized state would save resources (limit overhead), set for attributes which wouldn’t be used frequently for analysis.

(68) You are developing a SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) cube. You currently have a dimension named Customer. The dimension contains an attribute named Parent Company.

When browsing the hierarchy, there are several missing customers and when the Parent Company is displayed, a member of Unknown is displayed.

How do you ensure that only known customers with a parent company are displayed?

40 of 113

(a) In the dimension properties, set the UnknownMember property to None.(b) In the dimension properties, set the UnknownMember property to Hidden.(c) In the hierarchy properties, set the AttributeHierarchyVisible to False.(d) In the hierarchy properties, on the Customer level, set the HideMemberIf property to

OnlyChildWithNoName.

set UnkownMember as Hidden

(69) You have a Customer dimension. One of the attributes is Phone Number, which displays the customer phone number. The users will not browse data by this attribute. To optimize the dimension design, you want to prevent the server from creating an attribute hierarchy for the Phone Number attribute.

Which property must you change?

41 of 113

(a) AttributeHierarchyOptimizedState(b) AttributeHierarchyOrdered(c) AttributeHierarchyEnabled(d) AttributeHeirarchyVisible

Set AttributeHierarchyEnabled to False for all those attributes ( like Address or List Price etc.) for which you don't need aggregation to be calculated and want them to access it as member properties. Setting the AttributeHierarchyEnabled property improves the processing performance and also reduces the overall cube size as those attributes will not be considered in aggregation and for index creation.

(70) You are developing a SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) cube. You have a fact table named FactSalesTargets that stores the saleAmount for each transaction. You would like to add a measure to the cube, [Total Sales], which represents the total saleAmount.

How would you create the measure [Total Sales]?

42 of 113

(a) Create a new measure. Select saleAmount as the measure source. Set the calculation value to SUM.(b) Create a new measure. Select FactSalesTargets as the source table. Select saleAmount as the source

column. Set the usage to Max.(c) Create a new measure. Select FactSalesTargets as the source table. Select saleAmount as the source

column. Set the usage to Count of Rows.(d) Create a new measure. Select FactSalesTargets as the source table. Select saleAmount as the source

column. Set the usage to SUM.

Create a new measure by Sum Usage, FormatString property to $#,#

(71) You are developing a SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) cube. You currently have a measure named Currency Rate, which displays the end of the day's exchange rate for a given currency. In the cube, you would like the Currency Rate measure to display the most recent value stored at a given date aggregation.

Which aggregation function would you assign to the measure?

43 of 113

(a) Max(b) FirstNonEmpty(c) LastNonEmpty (d) Sum

New measure by LastNonEmpty, for end of day’s exchange rate or Closing Inventory

(72) You are building an Analysis Services cube that analyzes sales for your stores. One of the analytic requirements is that you understand the number of customers you serve. You have a measure called CustomerSalesCount that counts the number of sales transactions across your stores and products and the sales dates. However, several customers shop at your stores frequently, and you want to count each customer only once.

This new measure, called CustomerCount, should return the number of unique customers no matter whether someone is browsing by store, product, or date (including weeks, months, or years).

How would you implement this requirement to achieve this functionality and the best performance?

44 of 113

(a) Create a new Customer Sales Count fact table in the relational database that has only one record per customer per product purchased per day. Create a new measure group called Customer Sales Count in the cube based on this new fact table. Create a CustomerCount measure that uses the Count aggregation function.

(b) In the existing Sales measure group, add a new measure called CustomerCount that uses the Count aggregation function.

(c) In the existing Sales measure group, add a new measure called CustomerCount that uses the DistinctCount aggregation function based on the Customer Key column.

(d) Create a new measure group called Customer Sales Counts that is based on the same fact table as the Sales measure group. In the new measure group, add a new measure called CustomerCount that uses the DistinctCount aggregation function based on the Customer Key column.

BIDS will create a separate measure group for each Distinct Count measure that you create. Because the SQL query executed when a distinct count measure group is processed sorts the fact records by the distinct count column, processing a measure group that contains a distinct count measure takes longer and uses more source database resources than processing a similar measure group that doesn't contain a distinct count measure.

(73) You are developing a SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) cube that is tracking system alerts in your network center for different equipment types. One of the measures is tracking the number of events. Your Excel users are asking you to modify the events measure so that when they connect to the cube in a new pivot table, no decimal places are shown and so that commas are placed to separate hundreds from thousands in the numbers.

What needs to be changed to achieve the correct display?

45 of 113

(a) In Excel, go to the Options page on the Pivot table tab and clear the Display Decimals check box.(b) In Analysis Services, change the FormatString property of the measure to #,###.(c) In Analysis Services, change the DataType property to Integer.(d) In Analysis Services, change the DisplayFolder property of the measure to Standard.

(74) A cube has two measure groups: Internet Sales and Currency Rates. The Internet Sales measure group has a Sales Amount measure, which stores the sales order amount in foreign currencies. You need to define a measure expression for the Internet Sales measure to convert it to USD.

Which of the following is true about measure expressions? (Each correct answer presents part of the solution. Choose two.)

46 of 113

(a) A measure expression can have more than two operands.(b) One referenced measure must be in a different measure group.(c) A measure expression can have an addition (+) operator.(d) A measure group can use only multiplication (*) and division (/) operators.

A measure group can use only multiplication (*) and division (/) operators. One referenced measure must be in a different measure group.

(75) You are developing a SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) cube that is tracking daily account balances for your customers and bank branches. You have a fact table that stores the end-of-day balance for each customer account; therefore, each account has only one record per day in the fact table.

During testing, you notice that when you look at the data from a week level, the end-of-day account balances are being added together for every day in each week.

You want to change this so that it shows the final available balance for the week, but you still want the balances to add up for your higher-level customer and account attributes.

How can you accomplish this?

(a) This requirement cannot be handled in Analysis Services.(b) Change the aggregation function for the Balance measure to LastNonEmpty.(c) Change the date dimension to measure group relationship Cardinality property to One.(d) Create a calculated member on the Date dimension to return the last day in the week.

LastNonEmpty aggregation for end-of-day balance

(76) You are developing a SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) cube. You currently have two tables, DimDate and FactSalesTargets. The FactSalesTargets table joins DimDate with the CalendarMonth and CalendarYear columns, even though the DimDate table's grain is the day level. You would like to create a measure group based on the FactSalesTargets table that joins your date dimension at the month level.

How would you configure the Define Relationship dialog box?

47 of 113

(a) Set the Relationship type to Month. Set the Granularity attribute to Day. Match the Dimension columns to the measure group columns on DateKey.

(b) Set the Relationship type to Regular. Set the Granularity attribute to Calendar Month. Match the Dimension columns to the measure group columns of Calendar Year and Calendar Month, respectively.

(c) Set the Relationship type to Referenced. Set the Granularity attribute to Calendar Month. Match the Dimension columns to the measure group columns of Calendar Year and Calendar Month, respectively.

(d) Set the Relationship type to Referenced. Set the Granularity attribute to Calendar Month. Match the dimension columns to the measure group columns on the Calendar Month.

Cube Dimension Usage, Define Relationship between a Dimension and a Measure group; It is actually how Dimension table joins Measure Group table on which column.

(77) You are developing a SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) cube. You currently have a table named DimCustomer in a data source view (DSV). You have created an SSAS Customer dimension that uses the DimCustomer table.

You would like to add a new column to the Customer dimension named Full Name. Full Name will contain the contents of the First Name and Last Name columns in the DimCustomer table.

What would be the best way to add the new column to the DSV?

48 of 113

(a) Use the Replace Table option and replace the table with a named query. The named query should include a column named FirstName + ' ' + LastName AS FullName.

(b) Use the Replace Table option and select With Other Table for the Replace Table option. The other table should include a column named FirstName + ' ' + LastName AS FullName.

(c) Add a new named calculation to the DimCustomer dimension table in the DSV. Name the column Full Name and use the expression, FirstName + ' ' + LastName.

(d) Add a new named query to the DimCustomer dimension table in the DSV. Name the column Full Name and use the expression, FirstName + ' ' + LastName.

Add a Named Calculation as a new column to a table in the Data Source View (DSV)

(78) You have implemented a data source view (DSV) that uses tables from a SQL Server database. A new column has been added to one of the tables.

What's the easiest way to update the DSV definition to include the new column?

49 of 113

(a) Open the DSV in Business Intelligence Development Studio (BIDS) DSV Designer. DSV Designer will automatically detect the new column and update the DSV.

(b) Click the Refresh Data Source View toolbar button.(c) Drop the affected table in the DSV and then add it back to the DSV.(d) Manually add the new column.

refresh Data Source View to include a newly added column

(79) You implement a SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) project. Most of the dimensions will use tables from SQL Server 2008. One of the dimensions will be loaded from a Microsoft Access database. You don't have permissions to create objects in the SQL Server database.

How would you implement the solution? (Each correct answer presents part of the solution. Choose two.)

50 of 113

(a) Create a data source view with SQL Server as a primary data source and Access as a secondary data source.(b) Create a data source view with Access as a primary data source and SQL Server as a secondary data source.(c) In SQL Server 2008, create a server linked to the Access database, link the tables, and then create a view in

the database to reference the Access tables.(d) Create one data source that points to the SQL Server database and a second data source that points to the

Access database.

Microsoft SQL Server Analysis Services data source supports Access with Microsoft Jet 4.0 OLE DB Provider (x86)

(80) You have implemented a data source view (DSV) that includes a table called FactSales. In the underlying database, you have created a new view called vwFactSales_SSAS on the FactSales table, which filters out some records that should not be included in the cube.

What is the best way to replace the FactSales table in the DSV with the vwFactSales_SSAS?

51 of 113

(a) You cannot replace tables with other tables or views in the DSV.(b) Right-click on the FactSales table in the DSV. Choose Replace Table and then choose With Other Table.

Select the vwFactSales_SSAS table from the list.(c) Remove the FactSales table from the DSV and add the vwFactSales_SSAS view to the DSV. Re-create the

relationships to the vwFactSales_SSAS and then modify all the objects based on the FactSales table to use the new vwFactSales_SSAS object.

(d) In the properties of the FactSales table in the DSV, change the source property to vwFactSales_SSAS.

Date Source View, Replace Table with Other Table including View

(81) You are developing a SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) cube. You have created a Date dimension and Sales measure group. The Sales table contains an OrderDateKey column. The Primary key of the Date dimension is DateKey. You would like to join the Date dimension to the Sales measure group.

Which steps would you perform to accomplish this?

52 of 113

(a) On the Dimension Usage tab in Cube Designer, define a relationship between the Date dimension and the Sales measure group. Set the Relationship type to Regular. Set the Granularity attribute to Date. Under Relationship, set the Dimension columns to DateKey and the measure group columns to OrderDateKey.

(b) On the Dimension Usage tab of Cube Designer, define a relationship between the Date dimension and the Sales measure group. Set the Relationship type to Fact. Set the Granularity attribute to Date. Under Relationship, set the Dimension columns to DateKey and the measure group columns to OrderDateKey.

(d) On the Dimension Usage tab of Cube Designer, define a relationship between the Date dimension and the Sales measure group. Set the Relationship type to Fact. Set the Granularity attribute to Date. Under Relationship, set the Dimension columns to DateKey and the measure group columns to DateKey.

Dimension Usage, define a relationship between the Date dimension and the Sales measure group: Relationship type, Regular. Granularity attribute, Date. Relationship, Dimension columns, DateKey, Measure Group Columns, OrderDateKey

(82) You have a cube that has a Reseller Sales measure group. You add the Product dimension to the cube. When you browse the cube by the Product dimension, you see the same total for all products.

What is the most likely cause of this problem?

(a) The AllMemberAggregationUsage of the Product cube dimension is set to None.(b) The AttributeHierarchyEnabled property of the dimension key attribute in the Product dimension is set to

False.(c) The Product dimension doesn't have a dimension key.(d) There are no dimension usage relationships between the Product dimension and the Reseller Sales

measure group.

Same total for all products is most likely because there are no dimension usage relationships between the Product dimension and the Reseller Sales measure group.

53 of 113

(83) You have an Internet Sales measure group that is based on a FactInternetSales fact table. Each fact record in the fact table represents a line order number. The FactInternetSales fact table has a SalesOrderNumber column. The end users have requested the ability to browse the cube data by sales orders. You decide to create a SalesOrder dimension from the SalesOrderNumber column.

What type of a dimension usage relationship do you need to use to join the SalesOrder dimension to the Internet Sales measure group?

(a) Fact(b) Referenced(c) Regular(d) Many-to-many

Selecting a fact table as the data source for the dimension means that it will be a degenerate dimension. Degenerate dimensions examples include prescription number, transaction number or inventory control number.

(84) You have a cube that uses Reseller and Geography dimensions and has a Reseller Sales measure group. The Reseller dimension has a Regular relationship with the Reseller Sales measure group. The Geography dimension cannot be joined directly to the Reseller Sales measure group. Both the Geography dimension and the Reseller dimension have a Geography Key attribute.

You need to enable end users to browse the reseller sales data by Geography.

What type of dimension usage relationship do you need to join the Geography dimension to the Reseller Sales measure group?

54 of 113

(a) Fact(b) Referenced(c) Regular(d) Many-to-many

Fact Internet Sales Joins Dim Customer on Customer Key, Dim Customer Joins Dim Geography on Geography Key. Fact Internet Sales indirectly Joins Dim Geography using a Referenced Relationship, with Dim Customer as the Intermediate dimension.

(85) You have a financial cube that has Customer and Account dimensions. The cube has a measure group that has only non-additive measures such as rates and percentages. The lowest grain of the measure group is the Account dimension. The non-additive measures cannot be aggregated at a level higher than the individual customer account. The Account dimension joins the measure group with a regular relationship.

Which relationship type must you use for the Customer dimension if you want to prevent the end users from browsing the non-additive measures by the Customer dimension?

55 of 113

(a) Fact(b) Reference(c) Regular(d) No Relationship

Use No Relationship to prevent end users from browsing measures by a dimension. Set Measure Group Property, IgnoreeUnrealatedDi mensions to False, no same numbers would be shown in the cube browser.

(86) You have a FactResellerSales measure group that has OrderDateKey, ShipDateKey, and DueDateKey columns that reference the DimDate dimension table. The users need to browse the cube by Order Date, Ship Date, and Due Date dimensions. Each date dimension should use the same regular and fiscal calendar hierarchies defined to let the users browse data by regular or fiscal years, respectively.

How could you implement this requirement? (Each correct answer presents part of the solution. Choose two.)

56 of 113

(a) Create three SSAS date dimensions, Order Date, Ship Date, and Due Date.(b) Create one SSAS date dimension.(c) Add the Date dimension to the cube three times.(d) Add the Order Date, Ship Date, and Due Date dimensions to the cube.

The Date Dimension ‘s properties and data are contained in an Analysis Services Database. It is a Database Dimension. It has three Role-Playing Dimensions, Order Date,, Due Date, Ship Date as Cube Dimensions.

(87) You are creating a cube in a SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) database that has a dimension named DimDate. The fact table, FactSales, has two relationships to the date dimension, OrderDateKey and ShipDateKey.

How would you configure the cube so that the measure group for the Fact Sales table can join the Date dimension twice so that the measures in FactSales can be viewed for both the OrderDateKey and ShipDateKey relationships?

57 of 113

(a) Create one dimension usage relationship between DimDate and FactSales by using a regular relationship.(b) Create one dimension usage relationship between DimDate and FactSales by using a many-to-many

relationship to associate both the OrderDateKey and ShipDateKey relationships.(c) Add the Date dimension twice in the cube. For one of the usage relationships in the cube, use

OrderDateKey and, for the other, use ShipDateKey.(d) Create two dimension usage relationships between DimDate and FactSales by using a many-to-many

relationship for both.

(88) You are developing a SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) cube. You have a cube in the SSAS database that contains a measure group called Sales with a measure called Units Sold. The measure group is connected to a dimension called Purchase Date that contains a hierarchy called Calendar, using the Year, Quarter, Month, and Day attributes.

You want to create a calculated member that shows the year-to-date value of the Units Sold measure at any level in the Purchase Date hierarchy.

What is the proper Multidimensional Expressions (MDX) syntax to show this?

58 of 113

(a) SUM([Purchase Date].[Calendar].CurrentMember.Parent.Level), SUM([Sales].[Units Sold])(b) SUM(PeriodsToDate([Purchase Date].[Calendar].CurrentMember.Parent.Level),[Sales].[Units Sold])(c) SUM(PeriodsToDate([Purchase Date].[Calendar].[Year],[Date].[ Purchase Calendar].CurrentMember),

[Sales].[Units Sold])(d) SUM(PeriodsToDate([Purchase Date].[Calendar].[Year],[Date].[ Purchase Calendar].CurrentMember),

[Measures].[Units Sold])

(89) You are developing a SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) cube. You currently have a cube with a measure group called Customer Count that uses a Distinct Count aggregation function on the CustomerKey column of the Sales fact table. You want to create a calculated member called [Growth in Customer Base] that shows the percentage of new customers in the period based on the previous customer count (at any level of the Calendar hierarchy).

What is the proper Multidimensional Expressions (MDX) syntax that shows this?

(a) ( ([Date].[Calendar].CurrentMember, [Measures].[Customer Count]) -([Date].[Calendar].PrevMember, [Measures].[Customer Count])) /([Date].[Calendar].PrevMember,[Measures].[Customer Count])

(b) (( [Measures].[Customer Count].PrevMember) -([Measures].[Customer Count].CurrentMember)) / ( [Measures].[Customer Count].CurrentMember)

(c) ([Date].[Calendar].PrevMember, [Measures].[Customer Count])/ ([Date].[Calendar].CurrnetMember,[Measures].[Customer Count])

(d) ( ([Date].[Calendar].CurrentMember, [Measures].[Customer Count]) -([Date].[Calendar].CurrentMember.Lag(-1), [Measures].[Customer Count])) /([Date].[Calendar].CurrentMember,[Measures].[Customer Count])

( ([Date].[Calendar].CurrentMember, [Measures].[Customer Count]) - ([Date].[Calendar].PrevMember, [Measures].[Customer Count]) ) / ([Date].[Calendar].PrevMember,[Measures].[Customer Count])

(90) You need to define an MDX expression that returns the top 10 most profitable customers. You want the results of this expression to be readily available to any client application that connects to the cube.

Which implementation approach would you use?

59 of 113

(a) Calculated member(b) Cell calculation(c) Named set(d) Query set

(91) You are developing a SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) cube. You currently have a cube with a calculated measure called [Growth in Customer Base] that is based on the previous member of the Calendar hierarchy of the Date dimension. You have created a Key Performance Indicator (KPI) that uses this calculated member as the KPI value. The KPI goal is defined as:

[code]Case When [Date].[Calendar].CurrentMember.Level Is [Date].[Calendar].[Calendar Year] Then .30 When [Date].[Calendar].CurrentMember.Level Is [Date].[Calendar].[Calendar Semester] Then .15 When [Date].[Calendar].CurrentMember.Level Is [Date].[Calendar].[Calendar Quarter] Then .075 When [Date].[Calendar].CurrentMember.Level Is [Date].[Calendar].[Month] Then .025 Else "NA"End[/code]

You want to create a KPI status expression that returns a positive growth when the value is greater than the goal, a flat growth when the goal is within 90 percent of the goal, and a negative growth when the goal is less than 90 percent of the goal.

What is the proper Multidimensional Expressions (MDX) syntax for the KPI status?

60 of 113

(a) CASE WHEN KpiValue("Growth in Customer Base") >= KpiStatus ("Growth in Customer Base") THEN 1 WHEN KpiValue("Growth in Customer Base") >= .90 * KpiStatus ("Growth in Customer Base") AND KpiValue("Growth in Customer Base") < KpiStatus ("Growth in Customer Base") THEN 0 ELSE -1END

(b) CASE WHEN KpiTrend ("Growth in Customer Base") >= KpiGoal ("Growth in Customer Base") THEN 1 WHEN KpiTrend ("Growth in Customer Base") >= .90 * KpiGoal ("Growth in Customer Base") AND KpiTrend ("Growth in Customer Base") < KpiGoal ("Growth in Customer Base") THEN 0 ELSE -1END

(c) CASE WHEN KpiValue("Growth in Customer Base") >= KpiTrend ("Growth in Customer Base") THEN 1 WHEN KpiValue("Growth in Customer Base") >= .90 * KpiTrend ("Growth in Customer Base") AND KpiValue("Growth in Customer Base") < KpiTrend ("Growth in Customer Base") THEN 0 ELSE -1END

(d) CASE WHEN KpiValue("Growth in Customer Base") >= KpiGoal ("Growth in Customer Base") THEN 1 WHEN KpiValue("Growth in Customer Base") >= .90 * KpiGoal ("Growth in Customer Base") AND KpiValue("Growth in Customer Base") < KpiGoal ("Growth in Customer Base") THEN 0 ELSE -1END

(92) You want to create a revenue Key Performance Indicator (KPI) that shows how the overall company revenue relates to the prior year revenue for the same date period. One of the requirements given to you is that the KPI must show not just that the revenue target was met but also whether the revenue value is getting better or worse over the time period.

Which KPI property can you use to show whether the revenue value is getting better or worse?

61 of 113

(a) KPIs can show only the goal and the status of the target value.(b) You can use the KPI Trend property to show whether the revenue is getting better or worse.(c) You can use the KPI Status property to show whether the revenue is getting better or worse.(d) You can use the KPI Acceleration property to show whether the revenue is getting better or worse.

(93) Which MDX query will return the July 2003 status of the Revenue KPI in the Adventure Works cube for each product category? (Each correct answer presents a complete solution. Choose two.)

(a) SELECT KPIStatus("Revenue") ON COLUMNS , [Product].[Subcategory].Members ON ROWSFROM

62 of 113

[Adventure Works]WHERE [Date].[Calendar].[Month].[July 2003](b) SELECT KPIStatus("Revenue") ON COLUMNS , [Product].[Subcategory].Members ON ROWS, [Date].

[Calendar].[Month].[July 2003] ON AXIS (3)FROM [Adventure Works](c) SELECT KPIStatus("Revenue") ON COLUMN, [Product].[Subcategory].Members ON ROWSFROM [Adventure

Works]WHERE [Date].[Calendar].[Month].CurrentMember = [July 2003](d) SELECT ([Date].[Calendar].[Month].[July 2003],KPIStatus("Revenue")) ON COLUMNS , [Product].

[Subcategory].Members ON ROWSFROM [Adventure Works]

(94) You have created a Customer Profile data mining structure that contains two data mining models. You fully process the structure to train the mining models. You need to load the structure with new training data without affecting the mining models.

Which processing option do you need to use to process a structure without affecting the mining models in the structure?

(a) Process Structure(b) Process Clear Structure(c) Unprocess(d) Process Full

Use Process Structure option to load the data mining structure with new training data without affecting the mining models

(95) You need to write a data mining model query that uses a defined data mining model called [Buyer Decision Model] to predict whether a set of customers is likely to buy a bicycle.

What is the general data mining query syntax that enables you to return this result?

63 of 113

(a) SELECT Customer.CustomerNumber, [Buyer Decision Model].[Bike Buyer]FROM [Buyer Decision Model]CROSS JOIN(<source data query>) AS CustomerON <join mapping list>

(b) SELECT Customer.CustomerNumber, [Buyer Decision Model].[Bike Buyer]FROM [Buyer Decision Model]PREDICTION JOIN(<source data query>) AS CustomerON <join mapping list>

(c) SELECT Customer.CustomerNumber, [Buyer Decision Model].[Bike Buyer]FROM [Buyer Decision Model], (<source data query>) AS CustomerPREDICTION FILTER <join mapping list>

(d) SELECT Customer.CustomerNumber, [Buyer Decision Model].[Bike Buyer]FROM [Buyer Decision Model]PREDICTION JOIN(<source data query>) AS Customer

DMX, Select Customer.CustomerNumber, [Buyer Decision Model].[Bike Buyer] from [Buyer Decision Model] Prediction Join (<source data query>) as Customer on <join mapping list>

(96) You are developing an SSAS cube to identify potential customers for a new mail marketing campaign. To begin, you want to create a mining model structure that includes the customer key, a gender attribute, a number-of-cars-owned attribute, and a column to predict whether the customer is a good candidate to purchase a bicycle.

What is the right Data Mining Extensions (DMX) query syntax to create this structure?

64 of 113

(a) CREATE MINING MODEL [New Mailing]( CustomerKey LONG KEY, Gender TEXT DISCRETE, [Number Cars Owned] LONG DISCRETE, [Bike Buyer] LONG DISCRETE )

(b) CREATE MINING STRUCTURE [New Mailing]( CustomerKey LONG KEY, Gender TEXT DISCRETE, [Number Cars Owned] LONG DISCRETE, [Bike Buyer] PREDICT)

(c) CREATE MINING MODEL [New Mailing]( CustomerKey LONG KEY, Gender TEXT DISCRETE, [Number Cars Owned] LONG DISCRETE, [Bike Buyer] PREDICT)

(d) CREATE MINING STRUCTURE [New Mailing]( CustomerKey LONG KEY, Gender TEXT DISCRETE, [Number Cars Owned] LONG DISCRETE, [Bike Buyer] LONG DISCRETE )

(97) You are developing a SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) cube. You have a data mining structure that must forecast the day on which a set of products will sell.

How would you configure the Date column?

(a) Set the Content property as Continuous and the column as Predictable.(b) Set the Content property as Cyclical and the column as Predictable.(c) Set the Content property as Discrete and the column as Predictable.(d) Set the Content property as Discretized and the column as Predictable.

(98) If you create a mining structure from a relational source, which objects must you create in your Analysis Services projects first? (Each correct answer presents part of the solution. Choose two.)

(a) Data Source View(b) UDM Cube(c) Role(d) Data Source

(99) Why would you use a cube instead of a relational database for your mining models?

65 of 113

(a) Because you can easily modify data in cubes(b) Because you have cleansed data in your cube(c) Because you get additional algorithm parameters when you mine a cube(d) Because you get additional algorithms when you mine a cube

(100) You have a measure group that has several partitions. One of the partitions contains data for the last three months. The end users query this partition frequently. You need to select a storage mode that gives the best query performance.

Which storage mode should you select?

(a) Relational OLAP (ROLAP)(b) Hybrid OLAP (HOLAP)(c) Multidimensional OLAP (MOLAP)(d) Let the server decide

MOLAP cubes have the fastest query performance. MOLAP data latency is high because new data is available only when the partition is processed.

(101) You have a measure group that contains several partitions. One of the partitions stores historical data for several years and is rarely queried. You need to select a storage mode that saves storage space on the SSAS server, but you still want to take advantage of aggregations.

How should you configure these partitions?

(a) Set the partition's StorageMode property to ROLAP, set the Slice property to the date dimension member that defines the underlying historical data, and define aggregations on the partition.

(b) Set the partition's StorageMode property to HOLAP and define aggregations on the partition.(c) Set the partition's StorageMode property to MOLAP.(d) Use the Automatic MOLAP Proactive Caching setting.

In HOLAP, the cube data remains in the relational store, but the aggregations are stored on the SSAS server. This is the storage mode that saves storage space on the SSAS server but can still take advantage of aggregations.

(102) You have a cube that loads data from a database. The data in the database is updated throughout the day and at different intervals. The cube needs to update its data as soon as the data changes in the data source.

You must select a standard storage mode that provides a low data latency and the best query performance.

Which storage mode should you select?

66 of 113

(a) Realtime ROLAP(b) Scheduled ROLAP(c) Scheduled MOLAP(d) Automatic MOLAP

Automatic MOLAP is one of the predefined standard partition storage settings.

(103) You must select a data notification option for a partition that is configured for proactive caching. The cube loads data from an Oracle database. The data notification strategy should require minimum implementation effort.

Which data notification strategy should you select?

67 of 113

(a) SQL Server(b) Client Initiated(c) Scheduled Polling(d) You cannot use proactive caching with non-SQL Server data sources.

(104) You have a large partition that is configured for proactive caching. You don't want end users to experience performance degradation while the Multidimensional OLAP (MOLAP) cache is being rebuilt.

How do you configure the proactive caching to ensure that the server never switches to Relational OLAP (ROLAP) while the MOLAP cache is being rebuilt?

68 of 113

(a) Select the Bring Online Immediately check box in the proactive caching storage options.(b) Select the Enable ROLAP Aggregations check box.(c) Select the Update The Cache Periodically check box.(d) Clear the Bring Online Immediately check box in the proactive caching storage options.

To configure proactive cashing, you need to consider the following questions: 1) should processing of the cube occur in fixed intervals of time or only when data in the underlying source has changed? 2) while the cube is being processed, how should end user queries be resolved – from the most recent version of the cube (which might contain old data) or from the underlying source relational database (which contains new data, but might be slower to return query results)? 3) if processing will be triggered by changes to the source database, how should Analysis Services be notified of a change?

(105) You have deployed an Analysis Services cube that contains several roles. For testing, you want to modify the connection string from the tool to simulate connecting as a specific role.

Which property should you add to the connection string to achieve this?

(a) Roles=[Role1],[Role2],etc(b) User=[Domain]\[User](c) Roles cannot be simulated through the SSAS connection string.(d) EffectiveRoles=[Role1],[Role2],etc

RunAs /User:Flapjack\TestUser SSMS.exe The SSAS connection string property supports a Roles setting, where you can specify a comma-delimited list of database roles. Data Source=(local); Initial Catalog= "TK 70-448 SSAS Project”; Roles = Adventure Works, Sales Managers;

(106) You are managing a SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) cube. You need to configure the security in the Sales cube to deny a database role access to the Salary measure.

What Multidimensional Expressions (MDX) expression would you use to accomplish this?

69 of 113

(a) Not Measures.CurrentMember IS Measures.Salary(b) Measures.CurrentMember IS Measures.Salary(c) Measures.CurrentMember <> Measures.Salary(d) Object.CurrentMember <> Measures.Salary

Roles, Cell Data permissions to allow reading of cube content (measures)

(107) You are setting up a SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) cube to use Kerberos authentication. You need to configure an application's ActiveX Data Objects Multidimensional (ADOMD) connection to delegate the credentials to the Analysis Services server.

Which Impersonation Level do you need to set to enable Kerberos?

(a) Anonymous(b) Identify(c) Impersonate(d) Delegate

Web application on the Web server query SSAS cube on a different server, configure the web server for Kerberos delegation

(108) You are developing a SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) cube. You are attempting to connect to a cube by using OLE DB. When viewing the cube, you would like also to view extended properties such as format and color.

What must you add to the connection string to view the extended properties?

(a) Format="true"(b) Format="ReturnCellProperties=true"(c) Extended Properties="true"(d) Extended Properties="ReturnCellProperties=true"

the OLE DB connection string of your data source, e.g.: Provider=MSOLAP.3;Data Source=localhost;Initial Catalog="Adventure Works DW";Extended

70 of 113

Properties="ReturnCellProperties=true"

(109) Your cube has a Geography dimension that contains a Country attribute. The Country attribute contains all countries in the world. You need to create a role that can see all countries except France.

What's the easiest way to configure the Country dimension data security to meet this requirement?

(a) Create an allowed set that has all the countries except France in the allowed members.(b) Enable Visual Totals.(c) Create a denied set that has France in the list of denied members.(d) Use an MDX expression that filters the members of the Country attribute.

(110) You have a complex cube that contains many dimensions and measure groups. You need to configure the cube so that specific groups can see only the data relevant to their group. For example, the HR department would be allowed to see only HR-related objects.

How would you implement logical subviews of the cube?

71 of 113

(a) Create a separate data source view for each logical view.(b) Create a separate cube for each logical view.(c) Create a cube perspective for each logical view.(d) Let the client application filter the cube metadata.

(111) A cube has Internet Sales Amount and Reseller Sales Amount measures. You have defined a calculated member, Sales Amount, as follows:

[Sales Amount] = [Internet Sales Amount] + [Reseller Sales Amount]

You need to prevent a role from seeing the Sales Amount calculated member if the role does not have access to either the Internet Sales Amount measure or the Reseller Sales Amount measure.

Which cell-level security changes must you make to the role?

72 of 113

(a) You need to enable read contingent permissions on the Sales Amount measure.(b) You need to enable read permissions on Sales Amount.(c) You need to enable read contingent permissions on Internet Sales Amount and Reseller Sales Amount

measures.(d) You need to enable read cascading permissions on the Sales Amount measure.

For example, a database role has read contingent permission on Profit cells. The Profit cells are derived from the Sales and Cost measures. In this case, the Profit cells are viewable only if the database role has read permission for both the Sales and Cost measures.

(112) You are developing the incremental deployment scripts to change an SSAS cube in production. Your requirement is to keep the security and the partitions intact but still modify the cube structure to add some calculated members and change some dimension attributes.

What is the easiest way to create the script?

73 of 113

(a) Use the SSAS Deployment Wizard and choose the option to retain roles and members and partitions so that the roles, members, and partitions are not overwritten.

(b) Use the Synchronize Database Wizard to synchronize the data and structures between your development and production servers. Choose the option to retain roles and members and partitions so that the roles, members, and partitions are not overwritten.

(c) Use SQL Server Management Studio; script out the new version of the SSAS database and delete the partition and security elements in the XMLA code.

(d) In Business Intelligence Development Studio, point the project properties to the production computer and deploy the development database to the production computer.

BIDS builds a deployment script named <project name>.asdatabase and saves it to the project bin folder. In the build step, all the sources files that make up the Analysis Services database are combined into an XML file. The source files are .ds, .dsv, .dim, .cube, .partition, and other files found in a BIDS Analysis Services project. Each file is an XML representation of an Analysis Services object. When you build an Analysis Services project, a single .asdatabase file is created to represent these files; in BIDS, even if you set Deployment Mode to Deploy Changes Only, BIDS deployment overwrites the target database management settings, such as partition design and security roles.

(113) Which kinds of synchronization does the SSAS Synchronization Wizard perform when the destination SSAS database already exists? (Each correct answer presents part of the solution. Choose two.)

74 of 113

(a) Metadata synchronization(b) Incremental data synchronization(c) Full data synchronization(d) ROLAP data synchronization

(114) You are developing a SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) cube. You have several SSAS load-balanced production servers, each with an identical copy of an SSAS database. The SSAS database takes a very long time to process. You need to avoid processing the database on each server. Instead, you decide to process the database once on a dedicated staging server and update the production databases from the staging database.

Which deployment option would you use?

(a) Business Intelligence Deployment Studio (BIDS) deployment(b) Analysis Services Deployment Wizard(c) File copy(d) Synchronize Databases Wizard

Use the Synchronize Database Wizard to synchronize each production server with the staging server. The output of the Synchronize Database Wizard is a single XMLA command file, synchronize.xmla

(115) You open an Analysis Services project in BIDS. You attempt to deploy the project by right-clicking the project node in Solution Explorer and selecting Deploy. However, BIDS interrupts the deployment process with the following error message:

The project could not be deployed to the 'SSASTEST1' server because of the following connectivity problems: A connection cannot be made. Ensure that the server is running.

To resolve the deployment error, you must change the deployment server from 'SSASTEST1' to 'SSASTEST2'.

Which project property do you need to change?

75 of 113

(a) Database(b) Deployment Mode(c) Server(d) Processing Option

(116) You need to make a change to the MDX script of a cube deployed to a production server. You don't have the Analysis Services project or the source files, but you must perform the change as soon as possible.

Which is the best option to change the MDX script as quickly as possible?

(a) BIDS in connected (online) mode(b) BIDS in project mode(c) Analysis Services Deployment Wizard(d) XMLA script

BIDS supports two design options for working with SSAS databases. In connected mode, you are directly connected to the SSAS database, so changed are applied immediately when the object is saved. You do not need to do anything extra to deploy them. In project mode, you make changes while you are disconnected from the server. Your changes are saved locally as XML files. The advantage of project mode is that is facilitates team development. When you put the project under source control, multiple developers can make changes to objects by checking out the corresponding files without worrying that they will overwrite each other’s changes.

(117) You open an Analysis Services project in BIDS and make changes to the cube source file in project mode. You need to deploy the changes to a test server for QA testing. The cube on the test server already has measure group partitions.

You want the deployment process to preserve the partition design of the test cube.

Which deployment option would you use?

(a) BIDS deployment(b) Analysis Services Deployment Wizard(c) Backup and restore

76 of 113

(d) Synchronize Databases Wizard

Use Analysis Services Deployment Wizard to preserve the measure group partitions design

(118) You are developing a SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) cube.

You need to use the Usage-Based Optimization Wizard to optimize the cube aggregation design.

In the list on the right, select the steps required to use the Usage-Based Optimization Wizard. Place your selections in the list on the left in the order in which the steps should be performed. Place your selections in the list on the left by clicking the items in the list on the right and clicking the arrow. You can also use the Up and Down buttons to rearrange items in the list on the left.

(a)

Open the SSAS Server properties -> Enable the query log -> Gather enough query statistics -> Run the Usage-Based Optimization Wizard. CreateQueryLogTable, True; QueryLogConnectionString, to a sql server database; QueryLogTableName

(119) You are managing a SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) cube. You are looking for some performance measures based on queries that access the cube. You are planning to set up query logging and would like the log to pick up 1 out of every 10 queries executed.

Which QueryLog property would you set and what value would you set it to?

(a) QueryLogSampling = 0.1(b) QueryLogSampleSize = 0.1(c) QueryLogSampling = 10(d) LogDurationSec = 10

QueryLogSampling = 10 to pick up 1 out of every 10 queries executed

(120) You are responsible for implementing a new SSAS application for your company. The solution is highly visible and

77 of 113

therefore requires maximum uptime. One of the high-availability choices is to install SSAS in an existing Microsoft Clustering Service (MSCS) installation.

What advantages does this provide? (Each correct answer presents part of the solution. Choose two.)

(a) You are able to load balance queries between multiple servers.(b) Your SSAS solution stays online even with an operating system (OS) corruption.(c) Data corruption does not affect the solution's availability.(d) Clustering tolerates a server hardware failure.

Network Load Balancing (NLB) is primarily used to distribute the user load across several servers. A client user or application sends query requests to the virtual IP address of the server farm. NLB maintains utilization statistics od all clustered servers and sends the request to the least utilized server. Microsoft Cluster Service (MSCS) is to provide high availability. Cluster resources are hosted on only one node at any times. The servers are in constant communication with each other by exchanging packets (called a heartbeat) to ensure that a node’s network interface is still active. If the primary server crashes, the backup server is activated and takes over the cluster.

(121) You install SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) on a production server. You need to disallow the local Windows administrators (members of the Windows Administrators group) administrative access to the SSAS server and its objects.

Which server property must you change to deny local Windows administrators administrative access to the Analysis Services server?

(a) Security\RequireClientAuthentication(b) Security\ServiceAccountIsServerAdmin(c) Security\BuiltinAdminsAreServerAdmins(d) To prevent server lockdown, SSAS doesn't enable you to revoke administrative rights for Windows

administrators.

When you install SSAS, the setup program grants implicit SSAS administrative rights to the local members of the Windows Local Machine\Administrators group. You can set the server BuiltinAdminsAreServerAdmins property to False if you want to revoke the predefined SSAS administrative rights to Windows local administrators.

78 of 113

(122) You are managing a SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) cube. You want to back up an SSAS database in SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) and the C:\Temp folder to appear in the list of backup locations in SSMS when you perform a backup of a database.

What must you do for the C:\Temp folder to appear in the backup folder list?

(a) Add the C:\Temp folder to the DataDir server property.(b) Add the C:\Temp folder to the BackupDir server property.(c) You cannot save backup files to any location other than the default backup folder.(d) Add the C:\Temp folder to the AllowedBrowsingFolders server property.

(123) You deploy a cube to production. An end user reports that the server has not responded for the past 15 minutes and it appears that the service has hung. You need to identify exactly the last activity that happened on the SSAS server before the service hung.

Which log activity would you review?

79 of 113

(a) SQL Server Logs(b) Flight recorder(c) Windows Event Log(d) Windows Performance Monitor Logs

Working similarly to an airplane’s “black box”, the flight recorder trace automatically captures the server state and activity.

(124) You need to load test a SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) server as part of a capacity planning effort. You use Visual Studio 2008 Test Edition to prepare test scripts. You need to monitor the server usage, such as server CPU and memory usage.

Which tool would you use to capture this activity?

80 of 113

(a) SQL Server Logs(b) Flight recorder(c) Windows Event Log(d) Windows Performance Monitor

(125) One of the responsibilities you have as an administrator for SSAS is to monitor SSAS querying so that you can optimize aggregation of the measure group partitions by using the Usage-Based Optimization Wizard.

What must you do to capture the queries for the Usage-Based Optimization Wizard?

(a) Use Windows Performance Monitor to capture SSAS:Query counters.(b) Turn on the QueryLog settings in the SSAS server properties.(c) Run SQL Server Profiler and capture the SSAS MDX queries.(d) Turn on the ProactiveCaching setting in the Measure Group partition properties.

(126) You are managing a SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) cube. The cube contains a Total Sales measure that is joined to the Store dimension. Analysts report that the queries are slow when the Store Name is added to the query. After reviewing several of the queries, you see that the Store Name attribute is used in almost every query to isolate or compare the approximately 150 stores. You decide to review the aggregation usage to see whether you can improve the time it takes to retrieve the Sales Total information.

In the Aggregation Design Wizard, what Aggregation Usage value should you select for the Store Name attribute in the Store dimension?

81 of 113

(a) Default(b) Full(c) None(d) Unrestricted

(127) You are developing a SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) cube. Because you are creating a date dimension, you want to ensure that the hierarchies are optimized for query performance. Your Calendar and Fiscal hierarchies both display a warning of decreased query performance.

What needs to be done in the dimension to optimize the hierarchies?

82 of 113

(a) On the Attribute Relationships tab, make sure each attribute relates to the key attribute directly.(b) For each attribute in a hierarchy, change the AttributeHierarchyOptimizedState to FullyOptimized.(c) On the Attribute Relationships tab, create relationships from the lower to the higher levels in the

hierarchies.(d) On the Attribute Relationships tab, create attribute relationships that are not connected to the key

attribute.

(128) You are managing a SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) cube, and query performance issues have been reported at peak times of the day.

Which tools can you use to help identify and resolve performance issues? (Choose three.)

(a) SQL Server Profiler(b) Usage-Based Optimization Wizard(c) Performance Monitor(d) SQL Server Management Studio Query Designer(e) Analysis Services Deployment Wizard

(129) You are managing a SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) cube. During performance analysis, you realize that every time an MDX query is sent to SSAS from the user tool, it generates a SQL query against the underlying database. You have a partition set to ROLAP storage, but it is only for your current day data, and most of the queries are historical in nature.

How can you prevent the ROLAP partition from being queried if the query is not referencing the current day's data?

83 of 113

(a) Set the Slice property on the ROLAP partition to the current day.(b) Create a different measure group and measures for the current day data.(c) Set the Source property on the ROLAP partition to the current day.(d) Create a different cube for the current day data.

Reasons for Partitioning, improved performance by only querying one partition; partitions can be processed independently. For instance, you can process a partition that stores the most recent data more frequently than a partition that stores historical data. If there are no aggregations and the storage is set to HOLAP, all queries that target a HOLAP partition are sent to the relational database, as if the storage is set to ROLAP.

(130) You are developing a moderately large-sized SSAS solution, with the underlying database containing approximately a billion rows of data (representing four years of data) in one of the main fact tables. You use the Cube wizard to create an initial cube and dimensions. You create some aggregations and deploy the solution to your development server and process it, which takes several hours. All your initial queries take a couple of minutes to run, which is longer than you expect. From your discussion with the users, you expect them to target queries based on fiscal weeks and fiscal months but rarely to look at data across all four years.

Which is the first priority to improve query performance?

(a) Create a summary cube that rolls up the data to the fiscal week level.(b) Include the Fiscal Week and Fiscal Month attribute in every aggregation.(c) Add more memory to the server to increase the SSAS cache.(d) Create partitions at the fiscal week level so that queries are not scanning all data for every query.

(131) You are managing a SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) cube. Currently, the cubes are stored on the G:\ volume, which is connected to external drives. A new volume H:\ has been added that is connected to a second set of external drives. System monitoring on drive space and IO throughput alerted the IT department to add the additional volume.

How can some of the cube's MOLAP data and aggregations be directed to the new drive?

84 of 113

(a) Change the StorageLocation property for some of the measure groups to use a folder on the H:\ drive.(b) Change the StorageLocation property for some of the partitions to use a folder on the H:\ drive.(c) Change the StorageLocation for the dimensions to use a folder on the H:\ drive.(d) Change the StorageLocation for the aggregations to use a folder on the H:\ drive.

(132) You have a SQL Server Analysis Service (SSAS) database that contains several dimensions and two cubes. You must process the database periodically to bring it up to date with the data changes in the data source. You want to process all database objects with minimum effort.

Which database processing option would you use?

85 of 113

(a) Process Default(b) Unprocess(c) Process Full(d) Process Update

(133) You have a Product dimension and a Sales cube that uses the Product dimension. You want to process the Product dimension to reflect the data changes committed to the dimension table. Dimension data changes include adding, deleting, and updating dimension members. You want to process only the Product dimension and not the Sales cube.

Which dimension processing option would you use to update the Product dimension?

(a) Process Incremental(b) Process Full(c) Process Add(d) Process Update

Process OLAP objects, SSAS database, cube, measure group, partition, dimension, mining structure and mining models, among these objects, only dimension, partition and mining structure store data, the rest of the objects act as containers. So when you process the cube, you process all measure groups in the cube. Processing a measure group means processing its partitions. For processing, you also need to account for the project interdependencies. The most common example of interdependency is dimension processing. A dimension might be referenced by one or more cubes. The side effect of fully processing a dimension is invalidating the cubes that reference it. This means that you will also have to fully process the affected cubes.

(134) You are processing a partition in BIDS. You want BIDS to ignore errors caused by missing dimension keys. You don't have rights to change the object source files, but you do have rights to process objects.

How could you instruct the server to ignore Key Not Found errors during the partition processing?

(a) Change the Partition Error configuration.(b) Change the Dimension Key Errors configuration.(c) Click the Change Settings button in the Process dialog box.

86 of 113

(d) Don't do anything; the default error configuration ignores Key Not Found processing errors.

(135) You have a Sales cube that uses a Product dimension. You need to process the Product dimension fully. You are concerned that the processing operation might affect other objects.

How can you determine which objects will be affected by processing a given object before starting the processing operation?

(a) Use the Impact Analysis feature of the Process Object dialog box.(b) Use the Process Progress window.(c) Click the Process Affected Objects check box.(d) Script the Product dimension and review the related objects.

(136) You have created a Customer Profile data mining structure that contains two data mining models. You fully process the structure to train the mining models. You need to load the structure with new training data without affecting the mining models.

Which processing option must you use to process a structure without affecting the mining models in the structure?

(a) Process Structure(b) Process Clear Structure(c) Unprocess(d) Process Full

(137) You have created an XMLA script to process the objects in your SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) cube. You currently are performing a full process of the dimensions and measure groups. The XMLA includes the following line for each object:

<Type>ProcessFull</Type>

Over time, the processing has taken longer, and you want to change the processing type for the dimensions and process only the partitions affected by data changes.

87 of 113

What is the right XMLA setting for each object type?

(a) Dimensions:<Type>ProcessFull</Type>Partitions:<Type>ProcessFull</Type>(b) Dimensions:<Type>ProcessUpdate</Type>Partitions:<Type>ProcessUpdate</Type>(c) Dimensions:<Type>ProcessUpdate</Type>Partitions:<Type>ProcessFull</Type>(d) Dimensions:<Type>ProcessUpdate</Type>Partitions:<Type>ProcessAdd</Type>

(138) You are managing a SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) cube. You would like to process the Sales cube. You know that some customers have been deleted from the Customer dimension. Furthermore, historical data has not been removed from the Sales fact table, and there might be a CustomerKey in the fact table that no longer exists in the Customer dimension.

You perform a full process on the Customer dimension and are now configuring the Sales partition processing. The cube should discard records for missing customer keys.

After the install, you need to configure the new instance of SSRS, which involves creating the virtual directories for Report Manager and the Reporting Services Web service to distinguish the new instance from the first instance.

What method can you use to create the virtual directories?

(a) Use the Reporting Services Configuration Manager to create the virtual directories for both the Report Server Virtual Directory and the Report Manager Virtual Directory.

(b) Open IIS and create the new virtual directories on the default Web site for both the Report Server Virtual Directory and the Report Manager Virtual Directory.

(c) Use the RSConfig command-line tool.(d) Connect to the SSRS instance through SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) and right-click the server to

create the virtual directories.
