Which three actions should you perform in sequence?
DRAG DROP
You have a business intelligence (BI) solution that uses SQL Server Integration Services
(SSIS). The BI solution includes an extract transformation, and load (ETL) system.
You are designing a logging and auditing strategy for the ETL system.
You need to ensure that an ETL administrator can view the row counts of any data flow path
for each package execution.
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 features should you use?
DRAG DROP
Several reports are based on the same SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) cube. Each
report has several datasets defined with complex Multidimensional Expressions (MDX)
queries. The company maintains separate development, test and production environments.
The reports are running slowly. You plan to analyze report performance. You have the
following requirements:
Monitor query statistics on the production server with as little server overhead as possible.
Gather, replay, and analyze statistics on the test server with as little administrative effort as
possible.
Identify the longest-running queries on both servers.
Document statistics on disk reads on both servers.
You need to gather statistics and meet the requirements.
Which features should you use?
To answer, drag the appropriate feature or features to the correct location or locations in the
answer area. (Use only features that apply.)

You are modifying a SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) cube.
The cube consists of a single measure group that contains the following measures:
Total Quantity On Hand
Average Quantity On Hand
The measure group has a single partition that uses the MOLAP storage mode.
You need to modify the cube design to ensure that the Total Quantity On Hand measure is
updated in real-time and that Average Quantity On Hand measure is updated hourly.

Application Information
You have two servers named SQL1 and SQL2 that have SQL Server 2012 installed.
You have an application that is used to schedule and manage conferences.
Users report that the application has many errors and is very slow.
You are updating the application to resolve the issues.
You plan to create a new database on SQL1 to support the application. A junior database
administrator has created all the scripts that will be used to create the database. The script that
you plan to use to create the tables for the new database is shown in Tables.sql. The script
that you plan to use to create the stored procedures for the new database is shown in
StoredProcedures.sql. The script that you plan to use to create the indexes for the new
database is shown in Indexes.sql. (Line numbers are included for reference only.)
A database named DB2 resides on SQL2. DB2 has a table named SpeakerAudit that will
audit changes to a table named Speakers.
A stored procedure named usp_UpdateSpeakersName will be executed only by other stored
procedures. The stored procedures executing usp_UpdateSpeakersName will always handle
transactions.
A stored procedure named usp_SelectSpeakersByName will be used to retrieve the names of
speakers. Usp_SelectSpeakersByName can read uncommitted data.
A stored procedure named usp_GetFutureSessions will be used to retrieve sessions that will
occur in the future.

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.
Usp_InsertInvoices.sql
Invoices.xml
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.
The following is a sample of a customer invoice in XML format:
