Q1. You are developing a SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) package.
The package uses a data flow task to source data from a SQL Server database for loading into a dimension table in a data warehouse.
You need to create a separate data flow path for data that has been modified since it was last processed.
Which data flow components should you use to identify modified data? (Each correct answer presents a complete solution. Choose all that apply.)
A. Multicast
B. Data Conversion
C. Lookup
D. Slowly Changing Dimension
E. Aggregate
Answer: A,C
Explanation: A: The transformation that distributes data sets to multiple outputs.
The transformation that distributes data sets to multiple outputs.
C: Lookup Transformation
The transformation that looks up values in a reference table using an exact match.
Note:
* SQL Server Integration Services provides three different types of data flow components:
sources, transformations, and destinations. Sources extract data from data stores such as
tables and views in relational databases, files, and Analysis Services databases.
Transformations modify, summarize, and clean data. Destinations load data into data
stores or create in-memory datasets.
Incorrect: Not B: Data Conversion Transformation The transformation that converts the data type of a column to a different data type. Not D: Slowly Changing Dimension Transformation The transformation that configures the updating of a slowly changing dimension. Not E: The Aggregate transformation applies aggregate functions, such as Average, to column values and copies the results to the transformation output. Besides aggregate functions, the transformation provides the GROUP BY clause, which you can use to specify groups to aggregate across.
Q2. You are designing a package control flow. The package moves sales order data from a SQL Azure transactional database to an on-premise reporting database. The package will run several times a day, while new sales orders are being added to the transactional database. The current design of the package control flow is shown in the answer area. (Click the Exhibit button.)
The Insert New Orders Data Flow task must meet the following requirements:
Usage of the tempdb database should not be impacted.
Concurrency should be maximized, while only reading committed transactions.
If the task fails, only that task needs to be rolled back.
You need to configure the Insert New Orders Data Flow task to meet the requirements.
How should you configure the transaction properties? (To answer, select the appropriate setting or settings in the answer area.)

Answer:
Q3. 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.
Answer: B

Q4. You are adding a new capability to several dozen SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) packages.
The new capability is not available as an SSIS task. Each package must be extended with the same new capability.
You need to add the new capability to all the packages without copying the code between packages.
What should you do?
A. Use the Expression task.
B. Use the Script task.
C. Develop a custom task.
D. Use the Script component,
E. Develop a custom component.

Q5. You are designing a data warehouse that contains a customer dimension.
The customer dimension contains the original customer attributes as well as the most recent set of updated attributes. When a customer is updated, the original customer attributes must be preserved.
The customer dimension design must:
Support a Type 3 Slowly Changing Dimension (SCD) process
Minimize the total storage consumed
You need to design a solution that meets these requirements.
What should you do?
A. Design two tables. One table will hold the original customer surrogate key and attributes. The other table will hold the most recent customer surrogate key and attributes.
B. Design a table as a Type 2 SCD dimension that holds the surrogate key for each customer and its attributes. Limit the number of records per customer within the table to two.
C. Design a table to hold the surrogate key for each customer and its attributes. Add a column to store an indicator that identifies the record as original data or recent data.
D. Design a table to hold the surrogate key for each customer and its attributes as well as additional columns to store the original attributes.
Answer: D
Q6. You are building a SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) package to load product data sourced from a SQL Azure database to a data warehouse. Before the product data is loaded, you create a batch record by using an Execute SQL task named Create Batch. After successfully loading the product data, you use another Execute SQL task named Set Batch Success to mark the batch as successful.
You need to create and execute an Execute SQL task to mark the batch as failed if either the Create Batch or Load Products task fails.
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.)

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.
