Tailspin Toys Case B
Overview
Tailspin Toys is a manufacturing company that has offices across the United States, Europe,
and Asia.
Tailspin Toys plans to implement a business intelligence (BI) solution for its US-based
headquarters to manage the sales data, including information on customer transactions,
products, sales quotas, and bonuses.
Existing Environment
Data Sources
Tailspin Toys currently stores data in line-of-business applications, relational databases, flat
files, and the following;
• A Microsoft Excel spreadsheet named MarketResearch.xlsx. The spreadsheet is stored
on a network drive in a directory owned by an analyst.
• A tabular model named Research.xlsx used in PowerPivot for Excel. Research.xlsx
uses MarketResearch.xlsx as one of its data sources.
Network
The network contains an Active Directory forest named tailspintoys.com. The forest contains
a Microsoft SharePoint Server 2013 server farm.
Implementation Plans
Databases
Tailspin Toys plans to build a star schema data warehouse named DB1. DB1 will be loaded
from several different sources and will be updated nightly to contain new sales data.
DB1 will contain the following table types:
• A fact table to store transactional data, including transaction date, productID,
customerID, quantity, and sales amounts.
• Dimension tables to store information about each customer, each product, each date,
and each sales department user.
BI Semantic Models
Tailspin Toys plans to deploy the following BI semantic models:
• A multidimensional cube named CUBE1 that will store sales data. CUBE1 will be
based on DB1 and will be hosted in SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS). CUBE1
will contain two distinct count measures named UniqueCustomers and
UniqueProducts. The measures are expected to aggregate hundreds of millions of
rows from DB1.
• A tabular model named SalesCommission that will contain information about sales
department user quotas and commissions.
• A tabular model named Research that will contain the migrated model from
Research.xlsx.
• An instance of SSAS in tabular mode named Tabular.
Planned Reports and Queries
Tailspin Toys plans to implement the following reports and queries:
• Power View reports that use data from the Research model.
• Reports for each year the company recorded sales data that used the SalesCommission
model. The reports will use the Dates_Between() and the DatesInPeriod() DAX
functions in queries.
• Reports that use CUBE1 that contain the following query statements:
• A report named SalesByCategory that uses CUBE1 and the following query
statement: (Line numbers are included for reference only.)
Self-Service Reporting
Tailspin Toys plans to deploy the following self-service reports:
• Reports created by sales department specialists that use CUBE1 and contain
drillthroughs, maps, sparklines, and Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). The reports
will be stored in a SharePoint Server document library named Library1.
• Reports created by sales department managers that use the SalesCommission model.
The reports will contain visualizations that show sales department users their current
sales as compared to their quota.
• Power Pivot models stored in a SharePoint Server document library that is configured
as a PowerPivot Gallery named Gallery1.
Requirements
Data Security Requirements
Sales department users browsing CUBE1 must be able to view the sales data that relates to
their respective customers only.
Access to reports must be controlled by using SharePoint permissions.
ETL Requirements
Tailspin Toys identifies the following extract, transformation, and load (ETL) requirements:
• Nightly updates of DB1 must support the incremental load of dimension and fact
tables on separate schedules. Fact data may be loaded before dimension data.
• ETL processes must be able to update dimension attributes without losing context for
historical facts.
• Referential integrity between dimension and fact tables must be maintained at all
times.
Cube Performance Requirements
The design of CUBE1 must minimize the processing time of the UniqueCustomers and
Unique Products measures. The time required to process CUBE1 each night must be
minimized.
Data Refresh Requirements
The Research model must be refreshed nightly without interrupting the workflow of the analyst.

Data Architect
General Background
You are the data architect for a company that uses SQL Server 2012 Enterprise Edition. You
design data modeling and reporting solutions that are based on a sales data warehouse.
Background
The solutions will be deployed on the following servers:
• ServerA runs SQL Server Database Engine, ServerA is the data warehouse server.
• ServerB runs SQL Server Database Engine, SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) in
multidimensional mode, and SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS).
• ServerC runs SSAS in tabular mode, SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) running
in SharePoint mode, and Microsoft SharePoint 2010 Enterprise Edition with SP1.
The data warehouse schema currently contains the tables shown in the exhibit. (Click the
Exhibit button.)
Business Requirements
The reporting solution must address the requirements of the sales team, as follows:
• Team members must be able to view standard reports from SharePoint.
• Team members must be able to perform ad-hoc analysis by using Microsoft Power
View and Excel.
• Team members can have standard reports delivered to them on a schedule of their
choosing.
The standard reports
• Will use a sales territory hierarchy for organizing data by region.
• Will be accessible from SharePoint.
The Excel ad-hoc reports
• Will use the same data store as the standard reports.
• Will provide direct access to the data store for the sales team and a simplified view for
the executive team.
Technical Requirements
The standard reports must be based on an SSAS cube. The schema of the data warehouse on
ServerA must be able to support the ability to slice the fact data by the following dates:
• Order date (OrderDateKey)
• Due date (DueDateKey)
• Ship date (ShipDateKey)
Additions and modifications to the data warehouse schema must adhere to star schema design
principles to minimize maintenance and complexity.
The multidimensional and tabular models will be based on the data warehouse. The tabular
and multidimensional models will be created by using SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT). The
tabular project is named AdhocReports and the multidimensional project is named Standard
Reports.
The cube design in the Standard Reports project must define two measures for the unique
count of sales territories (SalesTerritoryKey) and products (ProductKey).
A deployment script that can be executed from a command-line utility must be created to
deploy the StandardReports project to ServerB.
The tabular model in the AdhocReports project must meet the following requirements:
• A hierarchy must be created that consists of the SalesTerritoryCountry and
SalesTerritoryRegion columns from the DimSalesTerritory table and the
EmployeeName column from the DimEmployee table.
• A key performance indicator (KPI) must be created that compares the total quantity
sold (OrderQuantity) to a threshold value of 1,000.
• A measure must be created to calculate day-over-day (DOD) sales by region based on
order date.
SSRS on ServerC must be configured to meet the following requirements:
• It must use a single data source for the standard reports.
• It must allow users to create their own standard report subscriptions.
• The sales team members must be limited to only viewing and subscribing to reports in
the Sales Reports library.
A week after the reporting solution was deployed to production, Marc, a salesperson,
indicated that he has never received reports for which he created an SSRS subscription. In
addition, Marc reports that he receives timeout errors when running some reports on demand.
