Q3. DRAG DROP - (Topic 10)
You are developing a SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) report that sources data from a SQL Azure database and a SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) cube. The cube contains a date dimension and other dimensions. The report design includes two report parameters named StartDate and FinishDate as shown in the following diagram.
The Data Type property of the parameters is set to Date/Time.
You need to create the dataset based on the SSAS cube. You also need to ensure that the dataset is filtered by the existing report parameters.

Topic 5, Data Architect
General Background
You are a Data Architect for a company that uses SQL Server 2012 Enterprise edition.
You have been tasked with designing a data warehouse that uses the company's financial
database as the data source. From the data warehouse, you will develop a cube to simplify
the creation of accurate financial reports and related data analysis.
Background You will utilize the following three servers: . ServerA runs SQL Server Database Engine. ServerA is a production server and also hosts the financial database.
. ServerB runs SQL Server Database Engine, SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) in multidimensional mode, SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS), and SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS).
. ServerC runs SSAS in multidimensional mode. . The financial database is used by a third-party application and the table structures cannot be modified.
The relevant tables in the financial database are shown in the exhibit. (Click the Exhibit button.)
The SalesTransactions table is 500 GB and is anticipated to grow to 2 TB. The table is partitioned by month. It contains only the last five years of financial data. The CouponUsed, OnSale, and Closeout columns contain only the values Yes or No. Each of the other tables is less than 10 MB and has only one partition.
The SecurityFilter table specifies the sites to which each user has access.
Business Requirements The extract, transform, load (ETL) process that updates the data warehouse must run daily between 8:00 P.M. and 5:00 A.M. so that it doesn't impact the performance of ServerA during business hours. The cube data must be available by 8:00 A.M.
The cube must meet the following business requirements:
..
Ensure that reports display the most current information available. Allow fast access to support ad-hoc reports and data analysis.
Business Analysts will access the data warehouse tables directly, and will access the cube by using SSRS, Microsoft Excel, and Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010 PerformancePoint Services. These tools will access only the cube and not the data warehouse.
Technical Requirements SSIS solutions must be deployed by using the project deployment model. You must develop the data warehouse and store the cube on ServerB. When the number of concurrent SSAS users on ServerB reaches a specific number, you must scale out SSAS to ServerC and meet following requirements:
..
Maintain copies of the cube on ServerB and ServerC. Ensure that the cube is always available on both servers.
Guaranteed success with TestInsides practice guides
.
Minimize query response time.
The cube must meet the following technical requirements:
.. ..
The cube must be processed by using an SSIS package.
The cube must contain the prior day's data up to 8:00 P.M. but does not need to
contain same-day data.
The cube must include aggregation designs when it is initially deployed.
A product dimension must be added to the cube. It will contain a hierarchy
comprised of product name and product color.
Because of the large size of the SalesTransactions table, the cube must store only aggregations—the data warehouse must store the detailed data. Both the data warehouse and the cube must minimize disk space usage.
As the cube size increases, you must plan to scale out to additional servers to minimize processing time.
The data warehouse must use a star schema design. The table design must be as denormalized as possible. The history of changes to the Customer table must be tracked in the data warehouse. The cube must use the data warehouse as its only data source.
Security settings on the data warehouse and the cube must ensure that queries against the SalesTransactions table return only records from the sites to which the current user has access.
The ETL process must consist of multiple SSIS packages developed in a single project by using the least amount of effort. The SSIS packages must use a database connection string that is set at execution time to connect to the financial database. All data in the data warehouse must be loaded by the SSIS packages.
You must create a Package Activity report that meets the following requirements:
..
Track SSIS package execution data (including package name, status, start time,
end time, duration, and rows processed).
Use the least amount of development effort.
Q5. - (Topic 9)
A hospital has a relational data warehouse, a SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) database, and a SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) instance. The SSAS database contains a cube named Pharmacy. Shared data sources exist in SSRS for the relational
...
and SSAS databases. Each hospital department has its own report writers.
Report writers in the Human Resources (HR) department want to create new reports by using Report Builder. Many reports will include data generated by a custom formula that references data stored either in a data warehouse table or in the Pharmacy cube. The custom formula will compare time periods across multiple products, categories, and employees.
You have the following requirements:
Ensure that only the HR department report writers can access the custom formula.
Implement only one dataset.
Ensure that the dataset references the data source that will provide the fastest
data retrieval.
You need to meet the requirements to support the HR department report writers.
What should you do? (More than one answer choice may achieve the goal. Select the BEST answer.)
A. Create, deploy, and secure a shared dataset that references the data warehouse shared data source and includes custom Transact-SQL (T-SQL) code for the custom formula.
B. Create a calculated member in the Pharmacy cube. Create, deploy, and secure a shared dataset that references the SSAS database shared data source and includes the calculated member from the cube.
C. Create and secure in the data warehouse a stored procedure that implements the custom formula. Create and deploy a shared dataset that references the data warehouse shared data source.
D. Create, deploy, and secure a shared dataset that references the SSAS database shared data source and includes a calculated member for the custom formula.
Answer: B
Q6. - (Topic 6)
You need to ensure that managers can successfully run reports.
What should you do?

D. Configure the CustomData property in the connection strings.
Answer: A
Q7. - (Topic 10)
You are developing a SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) cube. The cube contains several dimensions, a local measure group, and a linked measure group. Both measure groups use MOLAP partitions.
You need to write-enable one of the linked measure group partitions to support Microsoft Excel 2010 PivotTable What-If Analysis.
What should you do before the partition can be write-enabled?
A. Implement the linked measure group as a local measure group.
B. Implement the local measure group as a linked measure group.
C. Set the Type property of the partition's measure group to Forecast.
D. Set the StorageMode property of the linked measure group to Rolap.
Answer: A
Q8. - (Topic 10)
You are creating a new report in SQL Server Report Builder. You add a SQL Azure data
source. Then you add a dataset that has four fields named Year, Country, Category, and Sales.
You must design a matrix as shown in the following diagram.
The category rows (the first three rows as shown in the diagram) must present total sales amount by category. The country rows (the next six rows as shown in the diagram) must present total sales amount by country. The total row must present the total sales for each year.
You add a matrix to the report. You add a grouping of the Category field on the rows and a grouping of the Year field on the columns.
You need to add the countries on the rows of the matrix.
Which Row Group option should you select when you add the group?
A. Adjacent Below
B. Parent Group
C. Adjacent Above
