You are designing a partitioning strategy for a large fact table in a Manufacturing data
warehouse.
Tens of millions of new inventory fact records are loaded into the data warehouse weekly,
outside of business hours. Most queries against the database are generated by reports and
by cube processing. Data is frequently queried at the day level and occasionally at the
month level.

A SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) cube contains a large measure group. The fact
table supporting the measure group is loaded with new data throughout the day.
You have the following requirements:
Ensure that the cube displays current data as quickly as possible.
Maximize availability of the cube.
Maximize query performance for all aggregation levels.
You need to choose a partitioning strategy that meets the requirements.
Which partitioning strategy should you choose? (More than one answer choice may achieve
the goal. Select the BEST answer.)

You are designing an extract, transform, load (ETL) process for loading data from a SQL
Azure 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.
Minimize record locking.
Minimize impact on the transaction log.
You need to design an ETL process 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 multidimensional OLAP (MOLAP) cube.
The MOLAP cube must meet the following requirements:
Ensure that workloads for aggregation tuning can be automatically collected.
Require the least amount of effort to perform manual aggregation tuning.
Minimize impact on the performance of previously tuned queries.
You need to design a MOLAP cube that meets the requirements.

DRAG DROP
You are designing a SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) solution.
An existing report aggregates data from a SQL Azure database in a chart.
You need to use the chart in a new report and ensure that other users can use the chart in
their reports.
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,)

DRAG DROP
You are designing a SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) solution.
A report project must access multiple SQL Server databases. Each database is on a
different instance. The databases have identical schema and security configurations.
You have the following requirements:
The report must support subscriptions.
Users must be able to select the host when running the report.
What should you do?
To answer, drag the appropriate phrase or phrases from the list to the correct location or
locations in the answer area. (Answer choices may be used once, more than once, or not
all.)

DRAG DROP
You plan to deploy a SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) project by using the project
deployment model.
You need to monitor control flow tasks to determine whether any of them are running longer
than usual.

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.)

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.)

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.
You need to design the fact table to meet the requirements.
What should you do? (More than one answer choice may achieve the goal. Select the BEST
answer.)

You are creating a Multidimensional Expressions (MDX) calculation for Projected Revenue
in a cube.

For Product A, Projected Revenue is defined as 150 percent of the Total Sales of the
product. For all other products, Projected Revenue is defined as 110 percent of the Total
Sales of the product.
You need to calculate the Projected Revenue as efficiently as possible.
Which calculation should you use? (More than one answer choice may achieve the goal.
