You need to design an ETL process that meets the requirements

You are designing an extract, transform, load (ETL) process for loading data from a SQL
Server database into a large fact table in a data warehouse each day with the prior day’s
sales data.
The ETL process for the fact table must meet the following requirements:
Load new data in the shortest possible time.
Remove data that is more than 36 months old.
Ensure that data loads correctly.
Minimize record locking.
Minimize impact on the transaction log.

You need to design the fact table to meet the requirements

You are designing a fact table in a SQL Server database.
The fact table must meet the following requirements:
Include a columnstore index.
Allow users to choose up to 10 dimension tables and up to five facts at one time.
Maximize performance of queries that aggregate measures by using any of the 10
dimensions.
Support billions of rows.
Use the most efficient design strategy.

Which three actions should you perform in sequence?

DRAG DROP
You are validating whether a SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) package named
Master.dtsx in the SSIS catalog is executing correctly.
You need to display the number of rows in each buffer passed between each data flow
component of the package.
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.)

Which configuration type should you use?

HOTSPOT
You are designing a SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) package configuration strategy.
The package configuration must meet the following requirements:
Include multiple properties in a configuration.
Force packages to load all settings in the configuration.
Support Encrypting File System (EFS) formats.
You need to select the appropriate configuration.
Which configuration type should you use?
To answer, select the appropriate option from the drop-down list in the dialog box.

You need to design the SSIS solution to meet the requirements

You are designing a SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) solution that will load multiple
Online Transactional Processing (OLTP) data sources into a SQL Server data mart.
You have the following requirements:
Ensure that the process supports the creation of an exception report that details possible
duplicate key values, null ratios within columns, and column-length distributions of values.
Ensure that users can generate the exception report in an XML format.
Use the minimum development effort.

You need to design a solution that meets the requirements

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:
The deployment model must support changing the content of connection strings by using
parameters at execution time.
The deployment model must automatically log events to the SSISOB database.
Maximize performance at execution time.

one answer choice may achieve the goal. Select the BEST answer.)

Which transformation should you use?

HOTSPOT
You are developing a SQL Server Integration Service (SSIS) package. The package loads a
customer dimension table by using a data flow task.
Changes to the customer attributes must be tracked over time.
You need to produce a checksum value to identify the rows that have changed since the last
Extract, Transform and Load (ETL) process execution. You need to use the least amount of
development effort to achieve this goal.
Which transformation should you use? (To answer, select the appropriate transformation in
the answer area.)

Which three actions should you perform in sequence?

DRAG DROP
A new dedicated server is used to execute resource-intensive SQL Server Integration
Services (SSIS) 2012 packages. The environment that you are deploying the packages to
has the following constraints:
The operating system is Windows Server 2008 R2.
The SSIS packages are stored in the SSIS catalog.
Some of these SSIS packages use 32-bit custom components.
You need to install only the components that are required to deploy and run the packages on
the new server.
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 need to develop a Transact-SQL (T-SQL) script to meet these requirements

DRAG DROP
You are the administrator for a Data Quality Server. You are adding a user who must have
permission to:
Edit and execute a project
View the activity monitoring data
This user must not be able to:
Perform any kind of knowledge management
Create or change a knowledge base
Terminate an activity or perform administrative duties

What should you do? (To answer, drag the appropriate code segment or segments to the
correct location or locations in the answer area.)

You need to configure the parameter to meet the requirements

HOTSPOT
A SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) package is designed to download data from a
financial database hosted in SQL Azure.
The connection string to the financial database is defined as a project parameter named
FinConStr. The parameter value must be stored securely and must be set explicitly every
time the package is executed.
You need to configure the parameter to meet the requirements.
What should you do? (To answer, configure the appropriate option or options in the dialog
box in the answer area.)
