Which package configuration should you use?

You are developing a SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) package that imports data into
a data warehouse hosted on SQL Azure.
The package uses a Foreach container to process text files found in a folder. The package
must be deployed to a single server by using the Project Deployment model.
Multiple SQL Server Agent jobs call the package. Each job is executed on a different
schedule.
Each job passes a different folder path to the package.
You need to configure the package to accept the folder path from each job.
Which package configuration should you use?

You need to ensure that all available details of the job step failures for SQL Server Agent jobs are retained

You administer a Microsoft SQL Server 2012 instance that has several SQL Server Agent
jobs configured.
When SQL Server Agent jobs fail, the error messages returned by the job steps do not
provide the required detail.
The following error message is an example error message:
“The job failed. The Job was invoked by User CONTOSO\ServiceAccount. The last step to
run was step 1 (Subplan_1).”
You need to ensure that all available details of the job step failures for SQL Server Agent
jobs are retained.
What should you do?

How should you configure the transaction properties?

CORRECT TEXT
You are designing a package control flow. The package moves sales order data from a SQL
Azure transactional database to an on-premise reporting database. The package will run
several times a day, while new sales orders are being added to the transactional database.
The current design of the package control flow is shown in the answer area. (Click the
Exhibit button.)

The Insert New Orders Data Flow task must meet the following requirements:
Usage of the tempdb database should not be impacted.
Concurrency should be maximized, while only reading committed transactions.
If the task fails, only that task needs to be rolled back.
You need to configure the Insert New Orders Data Flow task to meet the requirements.

How should you configure the transaction properties? To answer, select the appropriate
setting or settings in the answer area.

Which three steps should you perform in sequence?

DRAG DROP
You are editing a SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) package that uses checkpoints.
The package performs the following steps:
1. Download a sales transaction file by using FTP.
2. Truncate a staging table.
3. Load the contents of the file to the staging table.
4. Merge the data with another data source for loading to a data warehouse.

The checkpoints are currently working such that if any of the four steps fail, the package will
restart from the failed step the next time it executes.

You need to modify the package to ensure that if either the Truncate Staging Table or the
Load Sales to Staging task fails, the package will always restart from the Truncate Staging
Table task the next time the package runs.
Which three steps 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 four actions should you perform in sequence?

DRAG DROP
You administer a Microsoft SQL Server database. Service accounts for SQL Agent are
configured to use a local user. A Microsoft SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) job step
has been created within a SQL Server Agent job. The SSIS package accesses a network
share when exporting data from a SQL Server database.
When you execute the SQL Server Agent job, it fails due to a permissions failure on a share
on a remote server.
You need to ensure that the SQL Server Agent job can execute the SSIS package.
Which four 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 event handler should you use?

You are designing a SQL Server Integration Services (SS1S) package that uploads a file to
a table named Orders in a SQL Azure database.
The company’s auditing policies have the following requirements:
An entry must be written to a dedicated SQL Server log table named OrderLog.
The entry must be written as soon as the file upload task completes.
You need to meet the company’s policy requirements. Which event handler should you use?

You need to design the product dimension

You are designing a data warehouse for a fresh food distribution business that stores sates
by individual product. It stores sales targets by product category. Products are classified into
subcategories and categories.
Each product is included in only a single product subcategory, and each subcategory is
included in only a single category.
The data warehouse will be a data source for an Analysis Services cube.
The data warehouse contains two fact tables:
factSales, used to record daily sales by product
factProductTarget, used to record the monthly sales targets by product category
Reports must be developed against the warehouse that reports product sales by product,
category and subcategory, and product sales targets.
You need to design the product dimension. The solution should use as few tables as
possible while supporting all the requirements.
What should you do?

How should you use a MERGE T-SQL statement to accomplish this goal?

DRAG DROP
You are creating a sales data warehouse. When a product exists in the product dimension,
you update the product name. When a product does not exist, you insert a new record.
In the current implementation, the DimProduct table must be scanned twice, once for the
insert and again for the update. As a result, inserts and updates to the DimProduct table take
longer than expected.
You need to create a solution that uses a single command to perform an update and an
insert.
How should you use a MERGE T-SQL statement to accomplish this goal? (To answer, drag
the appropriate answer choice from the list of options to the correct location or locations in
the answer area.

You may need to drag the split bar between panes or scroll to view content.)

Which three actions should you perform in sequence?

DRAG DROP
You are building a fact table in a data warehouse.
The table must have a columnstore index. The table cannot be partitioned.
You need to design the fact table and load it with data.
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.)
