You deploy a PowerPivot workbook to a PowerPivot Gallery in a Microsoft SharePoint site.
Workbook data comes from two different sources: Source A and Source B.
The workbook contains five tables with a total of 20 million rows from Source A, and three
small lookup tables from Source B. Data from Source A is updated throughout the day. Data
from Source B is updated at 3:00 P.M.
You have the following requirements:
Refresh the PowerPivot workbook with updated lookup data as soon as possible.
Minimize load on the source systems and the SharePoint environment during business
hours.
Minimize user involvement in the data refresh process.
You enable automatic data refresh for the workbook.
You need to configure a data refresh schedule for the workbook that meets the
requirements.

HOTSPOT
You are designing aggregations for a SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) cube.
You need to ensure that every aggregation excludes the Category attribute.
Which option should you select?
To answer, select the appropriate option in the answer area.

HOTSPOT
You are developing a SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) tabular project. The
DirectQuery Mode property of the data model has been set to On. The current partition for
the table is configured as the DirectQuery partition.
Data is loaded into a data mart throughout the day and must be available in the data model
as soon as possible. The model must support querying by clients that issue both Data
Analysis Expressions (DAX) queries and Multidimensional Expressions (MDX) queries.
Clients issuing DAX queries must receive real-time query results.
You need to select the appropriate Query Mode property for deployment.
Which query mode should you select?
To answer, select the appropriate query mode from the drop-down list in the dialog box.

You are designing a SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) solution. The solution will
contain an SSIS project that includes several SSIS packages. Each SSIS package will
define the same connection managers and variables.
You have the following requirements:
Ensure that the deployment model supports changing the content of connection strings by
using parameters at execution time.
Ensure that the deployment model automatically starts from calls to the
catalog.start_execution stored procedure in the SSISDB database.
Maximize performance at execution time.
Minimize development effort.
You need to design a solution that meets the requirements.
What should you do? (More than one answer choice may achieve the goal. Select the BEST
answer.)

You are designing a SQL Server 2012 Integration Services (SSIS) deployment strategy. You
currently have many SQL Server 2008 SSIS packages that require upgrading.
The production environment includes SSIS 2012 and SSIS 2008. The environment includes
existing command shell scripts that invoke the dtutil command-line utility.
You need to design a deployment strategy that supports existing deployment strategies and
requires the minimum amount of effort.
What should you do? (More than one answer choice may achieve the goal. Select the BEST answer.)

DRAG DROP
You are creating a SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) package to populate a fact table
from a source table. The fact table and source table are located in a Windows Azure SQL
Database. The source table has a price field and a tax field. The OLE DB source uses the
data access mode of Table.
You have the following requirements:
The fact table must populate a column named TotalCost that computes the sum of the price
and tax columns.
Before the sum is calculated, any records that have a price of zero must be discarded.
You need to create the SSIS package in SQL Server Data Tools.
In what sequence should you order four of the listed components for the data flow task? (To
answer, move the appropriate components from the list of components to the answer area
and arrange them in the correct order.)

DRAG DROP
You are the database administrator of a SQL Server 2012 data warehouse implemented as
a single database on a production server. The database is constantly updated by using SQL
Server Integration Services (SSIS) packages and SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS)
cube writeback operations.
The database uses the full recovery model. A backup strategy has been implemented to
minimize data loss in the event of hardware failure.
SQL Server Agent jobs have been configured to implement the following backup operations:
A full database backup every day at 12:00 A.M.
Differential database backups every day at 6:00 A.M., 12:00 P.M., and 6:00 P.M.
Transaction log backups every hour on the hour.
At 2:38 P.M. a SSIS package corrupts the data in a fact table. The corruption cannot be
undone. You are notified at 3:15 P.M. You immediately take the database offline to prevent
further data access and modification.
You need to restore the data warehouse and minimize downtime and data loss.
Which four actions should you perform in sequence? (To answer, move the appropriate
actions from the list of actions to the answer area and arrange them in the correct order.

HOTSPOT
A company maintains separate environments for development, test, and production. The
company uses the project deployment model for SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS)
deployments.
You create an SSIS project to perform a daily refresh of the data warehouse and data
models. The project has five packages.
You need to configure the project to ensure that the development, test, and production
teams can run each package without manually adding server-specific information.
Which program should you use?
To answer, select the appropriate program in the answer area.

DRAG DROP
You are developing packages in a SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) project to load a
data warehouse.
You are designing a method for configuring the packages’ connections when deployed to a
production SSIS catalog. All packages load data from two source databases.
Two packages also load data from a third source database. Another SSIS project will use
the same connections.
You need to meet the requirements.
What should you do?
To answer, drag the appropriate term or terms to the correct location or locations in the
answer area. (Each term may be used once, more than once, or not at all.)

DRAG DROP
A SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) cube named Sales includes a dimension named
Date that defines a hierarchy named Calendar. The Calendar hierarchy consists of Year,
Quarter, and Month levels. The Type properties of the Date dimension and its attributes are
appropriately configured to mark the dimension as a time dimension.
You are creating a Multidimensional Expressions (MDX) query that will return sales for each
month of 2011 and a three-month moving average of sales (labeled 3MMA), as shown in the
following diagram.

You need to complete the MDX query.
Which set expression should you use? To answer, drag the appropriate expression to the answer area.
