Q6. 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
Q7. 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.
What should you do?
A. Add OnError and OnWarning event handlers.
B. Create a new project and add the package to the project.
C. Query the ExecutionLog table.
D. Add an Execute SQL task to the event handlers.

Q8. You maintain a SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) package. The package was developed by using SQL Server 2008 Business Intelligence Development Studio (BIDS).
The package includes custom scripts that must be upgraded.
You need to upgrade the package to SQL Server 2012.
Which tool should you use?
A. SQL Server Integration Services Deployment Wizard
B. SQL Server Configuration Manager
C. SSIS Upgrade Wizard in SQL Server Management Studio
D. SSIS Upgrade Wizard in SQL Server 2008 BIDS
Answer: C
Explanation: You can upgrade packages that were created in earlier versions of Integration Services to the Integration Services format that SQL Server 2012 uses. SQL Server provides the SSIS Package Upgrade Wizard to help in this process. Because you can configure the wizard to backup up your original packages, you can continue to use the original packages if you experience upgrade difficulties.
You can run the SSIS Package Upgrade Wizard from SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT), from SQL Server Management Studio, or at the command prompt.
Note:
* When you upgrade an instance of SQL Server 2005 or SQL Server 2008 to the current release of SQL Server, your existing SQL Server 2008 Integration Services (SSIS) packages are not automatically upgraded to the package format that the current release SQL Server Integration Services uses. You will have to select an upgrade method and manually upgrade your packages.
Q9. You are the data steward at your company.
Duplicate customers exist in a Microsoft Excel workbook. You create a Data Quality Services (DQS) knowledge base and matching policy to identify these duplicate customers.
You need to identify the duplicate customers.
Which option should you use? (To answer, select the appropriate option in the answer area.)
Answer:
Q10. 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?
A. Create a custom SSIS source component that encapsulates the 32-bit driver and compile it in 64-bit mode.
B. Install a 64-bit ACE driver and execute the package by using the 64-bit run-time option.
C. Execute the package by using the 32-bit run-time option.
D. Replace the SSIS Excel source with a SSIS Flat File source.
Answer: C
Explanation: * See step 3 below.
To publish an Excel worksheet to Azure SQL Database, your package will contain a Data
Flow Task, Excel Source task, and ADO NET Destination.
1) Create an SSIS project.
2) Drop a.Data Flow Task.onto the.Control Flow.design surface, and double click the
Data Flow Task.
3) Drop an.Excel Source.onto the Data Flow design surface.
Note.When using the.Excel Source.task on a 64-bit machine, set Run64BitRuntime to
False.
* Incorrect:
Not D: The Flat File source reads data from a text file. The text file can be in delimited,
fixed width, or mixed format.
Q11. You use SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) for extract, transformation, load (ETL) processing.
Issues concerning addresses are discovered in the data warehouse that you manage. Validation must separate the addresses into three categories:
Valid addresses
Autocorrected addresses
Invalid addresses
You need to enhance the SSIS packages to perform address validation by using an external service.
Which transformation should you use? (To answer, drag the appropriate transformation from the list of options to the correct location or locations in the answer area.)
