You develop a SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) package that imports Windows Azure SQL Database
data into a data warehouse every night.
The Windows Azure SQL Database data contains many misspellings and variations of abbreviations. To
import the data, a developer used the Fuzzy Lookup transformation to choose the closest-matching
string from a reference table of allowed values. The number of rows in the reference table is very large.
If no acceptable match is found, the Fuzzy Lookup transformation passes a null value.
The current setting for the Fuzzy Lookup similarity threshold is 0.50.
Many values are incorrectly matched.
You need to ensure that more accurate matches are made by the Fuzzy Lookup transformation without
degrading performance.
What should you do?

You are preparing to install SQL Server 2012 Master Data Services (MDS).
You need to ensure that the database requirements are met.
What should you install?

You are installing the Data Quality Server component of Data Quality Services.You need to provision the hardware and install the software for the server that runs the Data Quality
Server.
You must ensure that the minimum Data Quality Server prerequisites are met.
What should you do?

You are implementing a SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) package that imports Microsoft Excel
workbook data into a Windows Azure SQL Database database. The package has been deployed to a
production server that runs Windows Server 2008 R2 and SQL Server 2012.
The package fails when executed on the production server.
You need to ensure that the package can load the Excel workbook data without errors. You need to use
the least amount of administrative effort to achieve this goal.
What should you do?

DRAG DROP
Your company is evaluating the data cleansing capabilities of SQL Server Data Quality Services (DQS).
A stand-alone server will be used to host DQS, as well as all related services necessary to run this
service.
You need to install the DQS components on the server by using the minimum amount of steps possible.
You also need to grant permissions to a login named DataStewards to enable DataStewards to edit and
execute DQS projects.
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.)

HOTSPOT
You are developing a SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) package.
You use a Data Profiling task to examine the data from a source system. You need to establish:
• The minimum and maximum dates for the datetime columns in the source data
• The minimum, maximum, and average values for numeric columns in the source data
You need to use the appropriate profile type in the Data Profiling task.
Which profile type should you use? (To answer, select the appropriate profile type in the answer area.)

HOTSPOT
You are developing a SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) package. The data source for the data flow
task is a table that has been configured as a change data capture (CDC) table. You are using a CDC
Source component to obtain the CDC data.
The data source will be polled once per hour. The data is updated with multiple important status
changes per minute.
For each captured data change, the before and after values must be included.
You need to configure the CDC Source component.
Which CDC processing mode should you select? (To answer, configure the appropriate option in the
dialog box in the answer area.)

HOTSPOT
You are developing a SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) package.
OnError and OnWarning events must be logged for viewing in the built-in SSIS reports by using SQL
Server Management Studio.
You need to execute the package and minimize the number of event types that are logged.
Which setting should you use? (To answer, change the appropriate setting in the answer area.)

You develop a SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) package in a project by using the Project
Deployment Model. It is regularly executed within a multi-step SQL Server Agent job.
You make changes to the package that should improve performance.
You need to establish if there is a trend in the durations of the next 10 successful executions of the
package. You need to use the least amount of administrative effort to achieve this goal.
What should you do?

You are performance tuning a SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) package to load sales data from a
source system into a data warehouse that is hosted on Windows Azure SQL Database. The package
contains a data flow task that has 10 source-to-destination execution trees.
Only five of the source-to-destination execution trees are running in parallel.
You need to ensure that all the execution trees run in parallel.
