Q1. Occasionally a job that executes an existing SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) package does not complete and nothing is processed.
You need to ensure that package logging occurs. Your solution must minimize deployment and development efforts.
What should you do?
A. Create a reusable custom logging component.
B. Use the gacutil command.
C. Use the Project Deployment Wizard.
D. Run the package by using the dtexec /rep /conn command.
E. Add a data tap on the output of a component in the package data flow.
F. Create an OnError event handler.
G. Use the dtutil /copy command.
H. Deploy the package by using an msi file.
I. Run the package by using the dtexec /dumperror /conn command.
J. Run the package by using the dtexecui.exe utility and the SQL Log provider.
K. Deploy the package to the Integration Services catalog by using dtutil and use SQL Server to store the configuration.
Answer: J

Q2. 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.
Select “IsolationLeve as Choas”
Answer:
Q3. You are developing a data flow transformation to merge two data sources. One source contains product data and the other source contains data about the country in which the product was manufactured. Both data sources contain a two-character CountryCode column and both use SQL Server. Both data sources contain an ORDER BY clause to sort the data by the CountryCode column in ascending order.
You use a Merge Join transformation to join the data.
You need to ensure that the Merge Join transformation works correctly without additional transformations. What should you do? (Each answer presents a part of the solution. Choose all that apply.)
A. set the appropriate SortKeyPosition properties on the data sources.
B. set the ValidateExternalMetaData property on the Merge Join transformation to True.
C. set the IsSorted property on both data sources.
D. Set the MaxBuffersPerlnput property on the Merge Join transformation to 2.
Answer: A,C

Q4. You are loading a dataset into SQL Server. The dataset contains numerous duplicates for the Artist and Song columns.
The values in the Artist column in the dataset must exactly match the values in the Artist domain in the knowledge base. The values in the Song column in the dataset can be a close match with the values in the Song domain.
You need to use SQL Server Data Quality Services (DQS) to define a matching policy rule to identify duplicates.
How should you configure the Rule Editor? (To answer, drag the appropriate answers to the answer area.)

Q5. You are editing a SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) project named Project1 in SQL Server Data Tools.
A package Connection Manager has been parameterized with project scope.
You need to display the parameters that have been generated for the Connection Manager.
What should you use? To answer, select the appropriate setting or settings in the answer area.
Answer:
Q6. You are developing a SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) package that imports data into a data warehouse.
You add an Execute SQL task to the control flow. The task must execute a simple INSERT statement.
The task has the following requirements:
. The INSERT statement must use the value of a string package variable. The variable name is StringVar. . The Execute SQL task must use an OLE DB Connection Manager.
In the Parameter Mapping tab of the Execute SQL task, StringVar has been added as the only parameter.
You must configure the SQLStatement property of the Execute SQL task.
Which SQL statement should you use?
A. INSERT INTO dbo.Table (variablevalue) VALUES (@StringVar)
B. INSERT INTO dbo.Table (variablevalue) VALUES ($Project::StringVar)
C. INSERT INTO dbo.Table (variablevalue) VALUES (?)
D. INSERT INTO dbo.Table (variablevalue) VALUES ($Package::StringVar)
Answer: C
Q7. You are installing SQL Server Data Quality Services (DQS).
You need to give users belonging to a specific Active Directory group access to the Data Quality Server.
Which SQL Server application should you use?
A. Data Quality Client with administrative credentials
B. SQL Server Configuration Manager with local administrative credentials
C. SQL Server Data Tools with local administrative permissions
D. SQL Server Management Studio with administrative credentials
Answer: D
Q8. 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?
A. Convert the package Connection Manager in the first package to a project Connection Manager.
B. Copy the package Connection Manager and paste it into the second package.
C. Convert the project to the Package Deployment model.
D. Set the ProtectionLevel property of the package Connection Manager to DontSaveSensitive to reuse the flat file connection.
Answer: A
Q9. You are editing a SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) package.
You need to edit the Script task that has an expression defined.
Which task should you select? To answer, select the appropriate setting or settings in the answer area.
Answer:
Q10. You are designing a data warehouse that contains a product dimension.
The product dimension contains the original product attributes as well as the most recent set of updated attributes. When a product is updated, the original product attributes must be preserved.
The product dimension design must:
. Support a Type 3 Slowly Changing Dimension (SCD) process
. Minimize the total storage consumed
You need to design a solution that meets these requirements.
What should you do?
A. Design two tables. One table will hold the original product surrogate key and attributes. The other table will hold the most recent product surrogate key and attributes.
B. Design a table as a Type 2 SCD dimension that holds the surrogate key for each product and its attributes. Limit the number of records per product within the table to two.
C. Design a table to hold the surrogate key for each product and its attributes as well as additional columns to store the original attributes.
D. Design a table to hold the surrogate key for each product and its attributes. Add a column to store an indicator that identifies the record as original data or recent data.
Answer: C
