DRAG DROP
A SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) package named DataFeed interacts with an external vendor data
feed. The package is executed several times a day, either as part of other packages’ control flow or by
itself. The external data feed is unreliable because network failures and slow response times are
frequent. The package is currently deployed on the file system.
To analyze the reliability of the external data feed, you must collect execution data.
Every time the DataFeed package is executed, the following information must be logged:
 Start Time End Time
 Execution Result
 Execution Duration
You need to design a logging solution that meets the requirements by using the least amount of
administrative and development effort.
Which three 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.)

You maintain a SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) package. The package was developed by using SQL
Server 2008 Business Intelligence Development Studio (BIDS).
The package includes custom scripts that must be upgraded.
You need to upgrade the package to SQL Server 2012.
Which tool should you use?

You are reviewing the design of an existing fact table named factSales, which is loaded from a SQL Azure
database by a SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) package each day. The fact table has approximately
1 billion rows and is dimensioned by product, sales date, and sales time of day.

The database administrator is concerned about the growth of the database. Users report poor reporting
performance against this database. Reporting requirements have recently changed and the only
remaining report that uses this fact table reports sales by product name, sale month, and sale year. No
other reports will be created against this table.
You need to reduce the report processing time and minimize the growth of the database.

DRAG DROP
A new SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) project is deployed to the SSIS catalog.
To troubleshoot some data issues, you must output the data streaming through several data flows into
text files for further analysis. You have the list of data flow package paths and identification strings of
the various task components that must be analyzed.
You need to create these output files with the least amount of administrative and development effort.Which three stored procedures should you execute in sequence? (To answer, move the appropriate
actions from the list of actions to the answer area and arrange them in the correct order.)

DRAG DROP
You are editing a SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) package that contains a task with a sensitive
property.
You need to create a project parameter and configure it so that its value is encrypted when it is
deployed to the SSIS catalog.
Which three steps 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.)

You are designing a data warehouse with two fact tables. The first table contains sales per month and
the second table contains orders per day.
Referential integrity must be enforced declaratively.
You need to design a solution that can join a single time dimension to both fact tables.
What should you do?

You are designing a data warehouse for a software distribution business that stores sales by software
title. It stores sales targets by software category. Software titles are classified into subcategories and
categories. Each software title is included in only a single software subcategory, and each subcategory is
included in only a single category. The data warehouse will be a data source for an Analysis Services
cube.
The data warehouse contains two fact tables:
 factSales, used to record daily sales by software title
 factTarget, used to record the monthly sales targets by software
category
Reports must be developed against the warehouse that reports sales by software title, category and
subcategory, and sales targets.
You need to design the software title dimension. The solution should use as few tables as possible while
supporting all the requirements.
What should you do?

You are designing a data warehouse hosted on SQL Azure. The data warehouse currently includes the
dimUser and dimDistrict dimension tables and the factSales fact table. The dimUser table contains
records for each user permitted to run reports against the warehouse; and the dimDistrict table contains
information about sales districts.
The system is accessed by users from certain districts, as well as by area supervisors and users from the
corporate headquarters.
You need to design a table structure to ensure that certain users can see sales data for only certain
districts. Some users must be permitted to see sales data from multiple districts.
What should you do?

You are reviewing the design of a customer dimension table in an existing data warehouse hosted on
SQL Azure.
The current dimension design does not allow the retention of historical changes to customer attributes
such as Postcode.
You need to redesign the dimension to enable the full historical reporting of changes to multiple
customer attributes including Postcode.
What should you do?

You are implementing the indexing strategy for a fact table in a data warehouse. The fact table is named
Quotes. The table has no indexes and consists of seven columns:
• [ID]
• [QuoteDate]
• [Open]
• [Close]
• [High]
• [Low]
• [Volume]
Each of the following queries must be able to use a columnstore index:
• SELECT AVG ([Close]) AS [AverageClose] FROM Quotes WHERE [QuoteDate] BETWEEN
‘20100101’ AND ‘20101231’.
• SELECT AVG([High] – [Low]) AS [AverageRange] FROM Quotes WHERE [QuoteDate]
BETWEEN ‘20100101’ AND ‘20101231’.
• SELECT SUM([Volume]) AS [SumVolume] FROM Quotes WHERE [QuoteDate] BETWEEN
‘20100101’ AND ‘20101231’.
You need to ensure that the indexing strategy meets the requirements. The strategy must also minimize
the number and size of the indexes.
