A group of report writers develop reports. The report writers currently use Report Builder 1.0
and report models. The report writers are not trained on SQL Server query writing. Their
report assignments come from various departments within the organization.
The company is upgrading to SQL Server 2012 with SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS)
in native mode. After the upgrade, reports will retrieve data from a large new data
warehouse that will reside on an instance of the SQL Server 2012 Database Engine.
Reports for each department will retrieve data from only a subset of the data warehouse
tables.
You are designing the data access strategy. You have the following requirements:
Ensure that report writers can create only reports that display data which they have
database permissions to view.
Minimize the effort required to update connection strings for all reports developed by the
report writers.
Minimize the number of fields visible in a specific report for report writers who work for
multiple departments.
You need to design the data access strategy.
What should you do? (More than one answer choice may achieve the goal. Select the BEST
answer.)

A company runs SQL Server Database Engine and SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS)
in native mode. Reports are based on data that is cached in multiple shared datasets.
Source data is purged each day at midnight for regulatory compliance purposes. The shared
datasets may continue to cache data that should not be used in reports. Shared report
schedules are often paused during nightly server maintenance windows.
Reports must not return purged data.
You need to create a fully automated solution to ensure that reports do not deliver purged
data.

You are designing a complex report that displays sales metrics for a customer hierarchy.
The customer hierarchy has six levels and contains approximately 1 million members.
You have the following requirements:
Allow users to easily display and navigate data.
Minimize report processing time.
Simplify the report design and maintenance processes.
You need to design a report that meets the requirements.

HOTSPOT
You are using a new installation of SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) to create three
sales reports that consume data from a stored procedure. The stored procedure is defined in
a Windows Azure SQL Database.
All reports must pass USA to the Country parameter of the stored procedure. Users cannot
change the Country report parameter value.
You need to configure the report parameter properties.
How should you configure the report parameter properties? To answer, select the
appropriate setting or settings in the answer area.

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.

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.
