Q1. You are designing a data warehouse for a fresh food distribution business that stores sates by individual product. It stores sales targets by product category. Products are classified into subcategories and categories.
Each product is included in only a single product subcategory, and each subcategory is included in only a single category.
The data warehouse will be a data source for an Analysis Services cube.
The data warehouse contains two fact tables:
. factSales, used to record daily sales by product
. factProductTarget, used to record the monthly sales targets by product category
Reports must be developed against the warehouse that reports product sales by product, category and subcategory, and product sales targets.
You need to design the product dimension. The solution should use as few tables as possible while supporting all the requirements.
What should you do?
A. Create two product tables, dimProduct and dimProductCategory. Connect factSales to dimProduct and factProductTarget to dimProductCategory with foreign key constraints. Direct the cube developer to use key granularity attributes.
B. Create one product table, dimProduct, which contains product detail, category, and subcategory columns. Connect factSales to dimProduct with a foreign key constraint. Direct the cube developer to use a non-key granularity attribute for factProductTarget.
C. Create three product tables, dimProduct, dimProductCategory, and dimProductSubcategory, and a fourth bridge table that joins products to their appropriate category and subcategory table records with foreign key constraints. Direct the cube developer to use key granularity attributes.
D. Create three product tables, dimProduct, dimProductCategory, and dimProductSubcategory. Connect factSales to all three product tables and connect factProductTarget to dimProductCategory with foreign key constraints. Direct the cube developer to use key granularity attributes.
Answer: B
Q2. 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

Q3. You administer a large and complex SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) solution in the SSIS catalog.
You are instructed to execute a package by using PowerShell. You need to create the correct PowerShell command.
How should you place the four code segments in sequence? (To answer, move the appropriate code segments from the list of code segments to the answer area and arrange them in the correct order.)
Answer:
Q4. 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. Install a 64-bit ACE driver and execute the package by using the 64-bit run-time option.
B. Enable Address Windowing Extensions (AWE) for the local SQL Server instance.
C. Replace the SSIS Excel source with a SSIS Flat File source.
D. Install a 64-bit ACE driver and replace the Excel source with an OLE DB source.
Answer: D
Explanation: XLSX files, the new file type in Excel 2007/2010 can’t be open with Excel Source/Destination in SSIS. To use XLSX in SSIS we need to install ACE driver and use OLE DB Source/Destination to read read/write data in XLSX files.
ACE is a set of components that facilitate the transfer of data between existing Microsoft Office files such as Microsoft Office Access (*.mdb and *.accdb) files and Microsoft Office Excel 7 (*.xls, *.xlsx, and *.xlsb) files to Microsoft SQL Server. If the SQL Server or your development box does not have ACE driver then install that 1st. Note:
* The most efficient way to link to SQL Server is using an OLEDB connection manager.
* Address Windowing Extensions (AWE) is a Microsoft Windows application programming interface that allows a 32-bit software application to access more physical memory than it has virtual address space.
* Address Windowing Extensions (AWE) is a set of extensions that allows an application to quickly manipulate physical memory greater than 4GB. Certain data-intensive applications, such as database management systems and scientific and engineering software, need access to very large caches of data. In the case of very large data sets, restricting the cache to fit within an application's 2GB of user address space is a severe restriction.
Incorrect: Not B:
Q5. A SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) package is designed to download data from a financial database hosted in SQL Azure.
The connection string to the financial database is defined as a project parameter named FinConStr. The parameter value must be stored securely and must be set explicitly every time the package is executed.
You need to configure the parameter to meet the requirements.
What should you do? (To answer, configure the appropriate option or options in the dialog box in the answer area.)
Answer:
Q6. You are creating a sales data warehouse. When a product exists in the product dimension, you update the product name. When a product does not exist, you insert a new record.
In the current implementation, the DimProduct table must be scanned twice, once for the insert and again for the update. As a result, inserts and updates to the DimProduct table take longer than expected.
You need to create a solution that uses a single command to perform an update and an insert.
How should you use a MERGE T-SQL statement to accomplish this goal? (To answer, drag the appropriate answer choice from the list of options to the correct location or locations in the answer area.
You may need to drag the split bar between panes or scroll to view content.)
Answer:
Q7. You are editing a SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) package that contains a task with a sensitive property.
You need to create a project parameter and configure it so that its value is encrypted when it is deployed to the SSIS catalog.
Which three steps should you perform in sequence? (To answer, move the appropriate actions from the list of actions to the answer area and arrange them in the correct order.)
Answer:
Q8. You are validating whether a SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) package named Master.dtsx in the SSIS catalog is executing correctly.
You need to display the number of rows in each buffer passed between each data flow component of the package.
Which three actions should you perform in sequence? (To answer, move the appropriate actions from the list of actions to the answer area and arrange them in the correct order.)
Answer:
Q9. You are editing a SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) package that uses checkpoints.
The package performs the following steps:
1. Download a sales transaction file by using FTP.
2. Truncate a staging table.
3. Load the contents of the file to the staging table.
4. Merge the data with another data source for loading to a data warehouse.
The checkpoints are currently working such that if any of the four steps fail, the package will restart from the failed step the next time it executes.
You need to modify the package to ensure that if either the Truncate Staging Table or the Load Sales to Staging task fails, the package will always restart from the Truncate Staging Table task the next time the package runs.
Which three steps should you perform in sequence? (To answer, move the appropriate actions from the list of actions to the answer area and arrange them in the correct order.)
Answer:
Q10. 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.

Q11. You are developing a project that contains multiple SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) packages. The packages will be deployed to the SSIS catalog. One of the steps in each package accesses an FTP site to download sales transaction data.
You create project parameters to store the username and password that are used to access the FTP site.
You need to ensure that the username and password values are encrypted when they are deployed.
What should you do?
A. Set the Sensitive property of the parameters to True.
B. Set the ProtectionLevel property of the package to EncryptSensitiveWithUserKey.
C. Change the parameters to package parameters.
D. Change the project to the Legacy Deployment model.
Answer: A
Q12. A SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) package on a computer is failing periodically in production. The package was created less than one year ago and was deployed to the SSIS catalog.
Sometimes the package is started on a SQL Agent schedule; sometimes the package is started manually by an SSIS developer by using the Object Explorer in SQL Server Management Studio.
You need to identify the authenticated user responsible for starting the package each time it failed in the past.
Where can you find this information?
A. the SQL Server Log
B. the SSISDB.[catalog].[executions] view
C. the SSISDB.[catalog].[event_messages] view
D. the SQL Agent Job History
E. the SQL Agent Error Log
Answer: B
