DRAG DROP
You install a SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) instance in tabular mode on a server.
While processing a very large tabular model, you receive an out-of-memory error. You
identify that the amount of physical memory in the server is insufficient. Additional physical
memory cannot be installed in the server.
You need to configure the server to allow paging to disk by using the operating system page
file (pagefile.sys).
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.)

Answer: See the explanation.

Note:
* View or set configuration properties in Management Studio
1. In SQL Server Management Studio, connect to an Analysis Services instance.
In Object Explorer, right-click the Analysis Services instance, and then clickProperties. The
General page appears, displaying the more commonly used properties.
2. To view additional properties, click theShow Advanced (All) Propertiescheckbox at
the bottom of the page.
Modifying server properties is supported only for tabular mode and multidimensional mode
servers. If you installed PowerPivot for SharePoint, always use the default values unless you
are directed otherwise by a Microsoft product support engineer.
* VertiPaqPagingPolicy
Specifies the paging behavior in the event the server runs low on memory. Valid values are
as follows:
Zero (0) is the default. No paging is allowed. If memory is insufficient, processing fails with
an out-of-memory error.
1 enables paging to disk using the operating system page file (pagefile.sys).
When VertiPaqPagingPolicy is set to 1, processing is less likely to fail due to memory
constraints because the server will try to page to disk using the method that you specified.
Setting the VertiPaqPagingPolicy property does not guarantee that memory errors will never
happen. Out of memory errors can still occur under the following conditions:

There is not enough memory for all dictionaries. During processing, Analysis Services locks
the dictionaries for each column in memory, and all of these together cannot be more than
the value specified for VertiPaqMemoryLimit.
There is insufficient virtual address space to accommodate the process.
To resolve persistent out of memory errors, you can either try to redesign the model to
reduce the amount of data that needs processing, or you can add more physical memory to
the computer.
Applies to tabular server mode only
* Incorrect: VertiPaqMemoryLimit
If paging to disk is allowed, this property specifies the level of memory consumption (as a
percentage of total memory) at which paging starts. The default is 60. If memory
consumption is less than 60 percent, the server will not page to disk.
This property depends on the VertiPaqPagingPolicyProperty, which must be set to 1 in order
for paging to occur.
Applies to tabular server mode only.
