Q2. You are the administrator of a server that hosts Data Quality Server for a large retail company.
The server had a hardware failure during business hours.
You need to restore the server that hosts Data Quality Server to another server. You have a recent backup of all the required databases.
What should you do? (Each correct answer presents part of the solution. Choose all that apply.)
A. Restore the DQS_MAIN, DQS_PROJECTS, and DQS_STAGING_DATA databases to another server as soon as possible.
B. Execute the DQS_MAIN.internal_core.RestoreDQDatabases stored procedure with the appropriate parameter.
C. Restore only the DQS_MAIN and DQS_STAGING_DATA databases to another server as soon as possible.
D. Execute the DQS_MAIN.internal_core.InitServer stored procedure with the appropriate parameter.
Answer: B,D
Explanation: Steps to restore DQS Databases:
Restore DQS_MAIN database.
Restore the DQS_PROJECTS database.
Restore the DQS_STAGING_DATA database.
In Object Explorer, right-click the server, and then click.New Query.
In the Query Editor window, copy the following SQL statements, and
replace.<PASSWORD>.with the password that you provided during the DQS
installation for the database master key:
USE [DQS_MAIN]
GO
EXECUTE [internal_core].[RestoreDQDatabases] '<PASSWORD>'
GO
.Press F5 to execute the statements. Check the.Results.pane to verify that the statements have executed successfully.
Note:
* Backup and restore of SQL Server databases are common operations that database administrators perform for preventing loss of data in a case of disaster by recovering data from the backup databases. Data Quality Server is primarily implemented by two SQL Server databases: DQS_MAIN and DQS_PROJECTS. The backup and restore procedures of the Data Quality Services (DQS) databases are similar to any other SQL Server databases.

Q8. You are designing a data warehouse for a software distribution business that stores sales by software title. It stores sales targets by software category. Software titles are classified into subcategories and categories. Each software title is included in only a single software 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 software title
. factTarget, used to record the monthly sales targets by software category
Reports must be developed against the warehouse that reports sales by software title, category and subcategory, and sales targets.
You need to design the software title dimension. The solution should use as few tables as possible while supporting all the requirements.
What should you do?
A. Create three software tables, dimSoftware, dimSoftwareCategory, and dimSoftwareSubcategory and a fourth bridge table that joins software titles to their appropriate category and subcategory table records with foreign key constraints. Direct the cube developer to use key granularity attributes.
B. Create three software tables, dimSoftware, dimSoftwareCategory, and dimSoftwareSubcategory. Connect factSales to all three tables and connect factTarget to dimSoftwareCategory with foreign key constraints. Direct the cube developer to use key granularity attributes.
C. Create one table, dimSoftware, which contains Software Detail, Category, and Subcategory columns. Connect factSales to dimSoftware with a foreign key constraint. Direct the cube developer to use a non-key granularity attribute for factTarget.
D. Create two tables, dimSoftware and dimSoftwareCategory. Connect factSales to dimSoftware and factTarget to dimSoftwareCategory with foreign key constraints. Direct the cube developer to use key granularity attributes.
Answer: C
Q9. You are designing a SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) data flow to load sales transactions from a source system into a data warehouse hosted on Windows Azure SQL Database. One of the columns in the data source is named ProductCode.

Q11. You develop a SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) package that imports SQL Azure data into a data warehouse every night.
The SQL Azure data contains many misspellings and variations of abbreviations. To import the data, a developer used the Fuzzy Lookup transformation to choose the closest-matching string from a reference table of allowed values. The number of rows in the reference table is very large.
If no acceptable match is found, the Fuzzy Lookup transformation passes a null value.
The current setting for the Fuzzy Lookup similarity threshold is 0.50.
Many values are incorrectly matched.
You need to ensure that more accurate matches are made by the Fuzzy Lookup transformation without degrading performance.
What should you do?
A. Change the Exhaustive property to True.
B. Change the similarity threshold to 0.55.
C. Change the similarity threshold to 0.40.
D. Increase the maximum number of matches per lookup.
