You manage a SQL Server Master Data Services (MDS) environment. A new application requires access to the
product data that is available in the MDS repository. You need to design a solution that gives the application
access to the product data with the least amount of development effort. What should you do?

You are installing the Data Quality Client on user desktops. You need to ensure that the prerequisite software
components are installed. Which components must be present to meet this goal? (Each correct answer
presents part of the solution. Choose all that apply.)

You are using SQL Server Data Tools to develop a SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) project. The first
package that you create in this project contains a package connection that accesses a flat file. Additional
packages in the project must also access this file. You need to define and reuse the flat file connection in all
project packages. What should you do?

You are designing a partitioning strategy for a large fact table in a data warehouse. Tens of millions of new
records are loaded into the data warehouse weekly, outside of business hours. Most queries are generated by
reports and by cube processing. Data is frequently queried at the day level and occasionally at the month level.
You need to partition the table to maximize the performance of queries. What should you do? (More than one
answer choice may achieve the goal. Select the BEST answer.)

You are designing a SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) solution that will load multiple Online Transactional
Processing (OLTP) data sources into a SQL Server data mart. You have the following requirements:
• Ensure that the process supports the creation of an exception report that details possible duplicate key values,
null ratios within columns, and column-length distributions of values.
• Ensure that users can generate the exception report in an XML format.
• Use the minimum development effort.
You need to design the SSIS solution to meet the requirements. What should you do? (More than one answer
choice may achieve the goal. Select the BEST answer.)

You are designing a fact table in a SQL Server database. The fact table must meet the following requirements:
• Include a columnstore index.
• Allow users to choose up to 10 dimension tables and up to five facts at one time.
• Maximize performance of queries that aggregate measures by using any of the 10 dimensions.
• Support billions of rows.
• Use the most efficient design strategy.
You need to design the fact table to meet the requirements. What should you do? (More than one answer
choice may achieve the goal. Select the BEST answer.)

You are designing an extract, transform, load (ETL) process for loading data from a SQL Server database into
a large fact table in a data warehouse each day with the prior day’s sales data. The ETL process for the fact
table must meet the following requirements:
• Load new data in the shortest possible time.
• Remove data that is more than 36 months old.
• Ensure that data loads correctly.
• Minimize record locking.
• Minimize impact on the transaction log.
You need to design an ETL process that meets the requirements. What should you do? (More than one answer
choice may achieve the goal. Select the BEST answer.)

You are designing a SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) solution. The solution will contain an SSIS project
that includes several SSIS packages. Each SSIS package will define the same connection managers and
variables. You have the following requirements:
• Ensure that the deployment model supports changing the content of connection strings by using parameters
at execution time.
• Ensure that the deployment model automatically starts from calls to the catalog.start_execution stored
procedure in the SSISDB database.
• Maximize performance at execution time.
• Minimize development effort.
You need to design a solution that meets the requirements.

You install a SQL Server 2012 database engine instance on a production server. A month later, you install SQL
Server 2012 Integration Services (SSIS). You must develop an SSIS project and deploy it to the server by using
the Project Deployment model. Operations Log records that are outside the configured retention period must be
cleaned automatically. You need to create the SSIS catalog on the production server. What should you do?
(Each correct answer presents part of the solution. Choose all that apply.)

You work as a database administrator at ABC.com. The ABC.com network consists of a single domain named
ABC.com. ABC.com makes use of Microsoft SQL Server 2012 in their environment.
You have received reports regarding a current existing SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) package not
completing its execution, and not transferring data. You have decided to make use of
the Project Deployment Model.
Which of the following is TRUE with regards to using the Project Deployment Model?
