Answer: B
Q4. You are developing a SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) package to implement an incremental data load strategy.
The package reads data from a source system. Depending on the value in a source column, the package redirects rows to one of five different data flow paths.
You need to add a data flow transformation to support the package redirection.
Which data flow transformation should you use?
A. Conditional Split
B. pjvot
C. Multicast
D. Lookup
Answer: A
Q5. You administer a Microsoft SQL Server database. You want to import data from a text file to the database.
You need to ensure that the following requirements are met:
. Data import is performed by using a stored procedure.
. Data is loaded as a unit and is minimally logged.
Which data import command and recovery model should you choose? (To answer, drag the appropriate data import command or recovery model to the appropriate location or locations in the answer area. Each data import command or recovery model may be used once, more than once, or not at all. You may need to drag the split bar between panes or scroll to view content.)
Answer:
Q6. You are designing a fact table in a SQL Server database.

* Read actions Enumerate all packages. View all packages. Execute all packages. Export all packages.
Execute all packages in SQL Server Agent.
* Write actions None
D: Need read permissions on the Environments in order to be able to view them.
Incorrect:
Not A: db_ssisltduser
* Read actions
Enumerate own packages.
Enumerate all packages.
View own packages.
Execute own packages.
Export own packages.
* Write Actions
Import packages.
Delete own packages.
Change own package roles.
Not E: db_ssisadmin
Too many permissions (such as delete all packages).
Q9. You are reviewing the design of a student dimension table in an existing data warehouse hosted on SQL Azure.
The current dimension design does not allow the retention of historical changes to student attributes such as ParentOccupation.
You need to redesign the dimension to enable the full historical reporting of changes to multiple student attributes including ParentOccupation.
What should you do?
A. Add CurrentValue and PreviousValue columns to the student dimension.
B. Enable Snapshot Isolation on the data warehouse.
C. Add an IsCurrent column to the student dimension.
D. Add StartDate and EndDate columns to the student dimension.
Answer: D
Explanation: Adding a start and end date will give you this ability as when a record is inserted and given a start and end date, you’ll have the ability to determine when they were active therefore giving you a retention of historical changes
Q10. You develop a SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) project by using the Package Deployment Model. A package in the project extracts data from a Windows Azure SQL Database database.
The package is deployed to SQL Server.

B. Execute the catalog.create_execution_dump stored procedure with the package execution_id.
C. Run the DTEXEC utility with the /DumpOnError option.
D. Run the DTEXEC utility with the /Reporting V option.
Answer: C
Q11. You are developing a SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) package.
The package sources data from an HTML web page that lists product stock levels.
You need to implement a data flow task that reads the product stock levels from the HTML web page.
Which data flow source should you use?

B. Open a command prompt and run the dtutil /copy command.
C. Add an OnError event handler to the SSIS project.
D. Open a command prompt and run the gacutil command.

Q12. You are creating a SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) package to retrieve product data from two different sources. One source is hosted in a SQL Azure database. Each source contains products for different distributors.
Products for each distributor source must be combined for insertion into a single product table destination.
You need to select the appropriate data flow transformation to meet this requirement.
Which transformation types should you use? (Each answer represents a complete solution. Choose all that apply.)
A. Slowly Changing Dimension
B. pivot
C. Lookup
D. Union All
E. Merge
Answer: D,E
Q13. Your company uses a proprietary encryption algorithm to secure sensitive data. A custom cryptographic assembly was developed in Microsoft .NET and is used in several applications.
A SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) package is importing data into a Windows Azure SQL Database database. Some of the data must be encrypted with the proprietary encryption algorithm.
You need to design the implementation strategy to meet the requirements while minimizing development and deployment effort and maximizing data flow performance.
What should you do?
A. Create a SQL Common Language Runtime (SQLCLR) function that uses the custom assembly to encrypt the data, deploy it in the Windows Azure SQL Database database, and use it when inserting data.
B. Use an SSIS Script transformation that uses the custom assembly to encrypt the data when inserting it.
C. Create a SQL Common Language Runtime (SQLCLR) stored procedure that uses the custom assembly to encrypt the data, deploy it in the Windows Azure SQL Database database, and use it when inserting data.
D. Use an SSIS Script task that uses the custom assembly to encrypt the data when inserting it.
Answer: B
Q14. You develop a SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) project by using the Project Deployment model.
The project contains many packages. It is deployed on a server named Development!. The project will be deployed to several servers that run SQL Server 2012.
The project accepts one required parameter. The data type of the parameter is a string.
A SQL Agent job is created that will call the master.dtsx package in the project. A job step is created for the SSIS package.
The job must pass the value of an SSIS Environment Variable to the project parameter. The value of the Environment Variable must be configured differently on each server that runs SQL Server. The value of the Environment Variable must provide the server name to the project parameter.
You need to configure SSIS on the Development1 server to pass the Environment Variable to the package.
Which four actions should you perform in sequence by using SQL Server Management Studio? (To answer, move the appropriate actions from the list of actions to the answer area and arrange them in the correct order.)
Answer:
Q15. You are creating a SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) package that implements a Type 3 Slowly Changing Dimension (SCD).
You need to add a task or component to the package that allows you to implement the SCD logic.
What should you use?
A. a Data Conversion component
B. an Execute SQL task that executes a MERGE statement on the database
C. a Merge component
D. an Expression task
Answer: C
Explanation: Note: Type of Slowly Changing Dimensions Slowly Changing Dimensions are categorized into three types named: Type 1, Type 2, and Type3. The Type 1 SCD does not maintain the history of changing attributes, it overwrites values of the attributes. Type 2 maintains historical values for changing attributes. Type 3 that we do not use much maintains separate columns for changed attributes. SSIS SCD wizard supports both Type 1 and Type 2. Using MERGE instead of SCD wizard Replacement of SCD wizard with MERGE is not a straightforward technique. If the SCD has both Type 1 and Type 2 types attributes, they need to be handled separately.
Q16. You are developing a SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) package.
You need to design a package to change a variable value during package execution by using the least amount of development effort.
What should you use?
A. Expression task
B. Script task
C. Execute SQL task
D. Execute Process task
E. Term Extraction transformation
Answer: A
