Scenario 1
Application Information
Your company receives invoices in XML format from customers. Currently, the invoices are
stored as files and processed by a desktop application. The application has several
performance and security issues. The application is being migrated to a SQL Server-based
solution. A schema named InvoiceSchema has been created for the invoices xml.
The data in the invoices is sometimes incomplete. The incomplete data must be stored and
processed as-is. Users cannot filter the data provided through views.
You are designing a SQL Server database named DB1 that will be used to receive, process,
and securely store the invoice data. A third-party Microsoft .NET Framework component will
be purchased to perform tax calculations. The third-party tax component will be provided as a
DLL file named Treytax.dll and a source code file named Amortize.cs. The component will
expose a class named TreyResearch and a method named Amortize(). The files are located in
c:\temp\.
The following graphic shows the planned tables:
You have a sequence named Accounting.InvoiceID_Seq.
You plan to create two certificates named CERT1 and CERT2. You will create CERT1 in
master. You will create CERT2 in DB1.
You have a legacy application that requires the ability to generate dynamic T-SQL statements
against DB1. A sample of the queries generated by the legacy application appears in
Legacy.sql.
Application Requirements
The planned database has the following requirements:
• All stored procedures must be signed.
• The original XML invoices must be stored in the database.
• An XML schema must be used to validate the invoice data.
• Dynamic T-SQL statements must be converted to stored procedures.
• Access to the .NET Framework tax components must be available to T-SQL objects.
• Columns must be defined by using data types that minimize the amount of space used
by each table.
• Invoices stored in the InvoiceStatus table must refer to an invoice by the same
identifier used by the Invoice table.
• To protect against the theft of backup disks, invoice data must be protected by using
the highest level of encryption.
• The solution must provide a table-valued function that provides users with the ability
to filter invoices by customer.
• Indexes must be optimized periodically based on their fragmentation by using the
minimum amount of administrative effort.

All customer IDs are 11 digits. The first three digits of a customer ID represent the customer’s
country. The remaining eight digits are the customer’s account number.

You need to create the InvoiceStatus table in DB1.
How should you define the InvoiceID column in the CREATE TABLE statement?
Which two actions should you perform on Server1?
You have two servers named Served and Server2. Both servers have SQL Server 2012
installed. Both servers have a SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) catalog.
You are preparing a disaster recovery plan for a business intelligence (BI) solution.
You need to ensure that the SSIS catalog from Server1 can be restored to Server2.
Which two actions should you perform on Server1? Each correct answer presents part of the
solution.
Which health monitoring solution should you recommend using on each server?
DRAG DROP
You have a business intelligence (BI) infrastructure that contains three servers. The servers
are configured as shown in the following table.
You need to recommend a health monitoring solution for the BI infrastructure.
The solution must meet the following requirements:
Monitor the status of the Usage Data Collection feature.
Monitor the number of end-users accessing the solution.
Monitor the amount of cache used when the users query data.
Which health monitoring solution should you recommend using on each server? To answer,
drag the appropriate monitoring solutions to the correct servers. Each monitoring solution
may be used once, more than once, or not at all. You may need to drag the split bar
between panes or scroll to view content.
You need to implement a degenerate dimension
You are designing a SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) cube based on a Microsoft Azure
SQL Database data warehouse.

Which data type should you use for CustomerID?
You need to meet the requirements to support the Marketing department report writers
A company has a relational data warehouse, a SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS)
database, and a SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) instance. The SSAS database
contains a cube named Sales. Shared data sources exist in SSRS for the relational and
SSAS databases. Each company department has its own report writers.
Report writers in the Marketing department want to create new reports by using Report
Builder. Many reports will include data generated by a custom formula that references data
stored either in a data warehouse table or in the Sales cube. The custom formula will
compare time periods across multiple products, categories, and regions.
You have the following requirements:
Ensure that only Marketing department report writers can access the custom formula.
Implement only one dataset.
Ensure that the dataset references the data source that will provide the fastest data retrieval.
You need to meet the requirements to support the Marketing department report writers.
What should you do? (More than one answer choice may achieve the goal. Select the BEST
answer.)
Which three actions should you perform in sequence?
DRAG DROP
Your network contains a development environment, a staging environment, and a production
environment.
You have a SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) project. All of the packages in the
project load data from files in a shared network folder. The packages use indirect XML
configurations to set the location of the network folder.
The project is deployed to the three environments. Each environment has a different set of
source files and a different network folder for the source files.
Currently, if an environment variable is missing, the package will use the network folder
specified in the package, not the folder specified in the XML configuration file.
You need to ensure that each time a package is executed, the network folder location
specified in the package is NOT used.
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 code segment should you execute?
