Q1. - (Topic 4)
You are developing a SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) cube.
You must create a four-level hierarchy for the employee dimension. Each level must be associated with an attribute in the employee dimension table. Two thirds of the dimension data contain values for all four attributes. The remainder of the dimension data contains values for the first three of the four attributes only.
You need to create the hierarchy so that logically missing members will not be shown by the reporting tool.
Which type of hierarchy should you create?
A. A parent-child hierarchy
B. A sparse hierarchy
C. A ragged hierarchy
D. A balanced hierarchy
Answer: A
Q2. - (Topic 2)
Topic 2, Contoso, Ltd
Background
You are the business intelligence (BI) solutions architect for Contoso Ltd, a multinational sales company with offices in London, Madrid, Paris, Brisbane, Tokyo, and New York. Contoso sells office consumable products such as pens, printer ink, and paper.
You produce solutions by using SQL Server 2012 Business Intelligence Edition and Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010 Enterprise Edition with SP1.
Technical Background
Contoso's products are categorized by using four levels while some use only two or three levels. Products are categorized as shown in the following table.
Contoso sells products through mobile sales staff, direct marketing, and its website. Sales personnel are located in various regions around the world, and each region has a sales manager who is paid a quarterly bonus based on the total sales in the region during the quarter. Regions are categorized as shown in the following table.
SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) is used to host a multidimensional database. The database contains a single cube named Sales and three database dimensions named Products, Regions, and Date. A single measure named Sales Total has been defined in the cube. The data source for the database is a SQL Server data warehouse.
The Products dimension contains a single user-defined hierarchy named Products. To prevent the display of empty members when users browse the Products dimension, the Extract, Transform, and Load (ETL) process populates all missing values as shown in the following diagram.
The structure of the Products hierarchy is shown in the following diagram.
The Regions dimension contains a single user-defined hierarchy named Sales Regions. The dimension is based on a single dimension table in the data warehouse and the attribute relationships have not been modified since the dimension was created by using the Dimension wizard. The structure of the Sales Regions hierarchy is shown in the following diagram.
The Date dimension contains a single user-defined hierarchy named Calendar. The structure of the Calendar hierarchyis shown in the following diagram.
A role named UserRegions has been created in the SSAS database that will be used to filter members in the Regions dimension based on the authenticated user.
Administrative staff from around the world will produce sales reports with Microsoft Excel 2010 based on the Sales cube.
Developers will produce reports with SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) based on the Sales cube and the reports will be delivered to users through report subscriptions and a web browser-All users log on to an Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) domain named contoso.com.
All client computers and servers are joined to the contoso.com domain.
Business Requirements
The BI system must meet the following reporting requirements: . Display all sales figures in euro currency, regardless of the client's reporting location . Include a new measure named AD Sales that calculates average daily sales for a selected month
. ..
Support near real-time reporting while maintaining good performance for multidimensional queries Support reports that show currency exchange rates Deliver executive reports that are parameterized and rendered from report snapshots
In addition, cube objects must use terms familiar to users from around the world. For example, in the SalesRegions hierarchy, users from Great Britain must see the State level presented as County when browsing the Sales cube.
The Sales cube must support a new measure group named Sales Planning. The measure group must consist of a single measure named Sales Plan that enables the management team to use Excel 2010 to enter sales plans for future monitoring.
The BI system must meet the following technical requirements:
Architecture requirements
....
The system must use separate servers for each of the following components:
uk.co.certification.simulator.d.l@190b1bf8
All servers must be installed using U.S. regional settings.
The system must source currency exchange rate data from a database hosted in
Microsoft Azure SQL Database.
Security requirements
. ..
When possible, the system must use Windows authentication for all database
connections.
The system must prevent users from querying data from outside of their region.
The system must allow certain users to query data from multiple regions.
Development requirements
..
When browsing the Products hierarchy, repeating values for different levels of a given drill-path must be avoided. For example, Papers -> Copy Paper -> Copy Paper -> Copy Paper should appear simply as Papers -> Copy Paper. The system must support report snapshots. The default maximum number of retained snapshots must not exceed five.
=====
You need to develop an SSRS report that retrieves currency exchange rate data. How should you configure the data source for the report?
A. Use the Microsoft Azure SQL Database data source type and then set a username and password for the credentials.
B. Use the SQL Server data source type and then set Windows authentication for the credentials.
C. Use the Microsoft Azure SQL Database data source type and then set Windows authentication for the credentials.
D. Use the SQL Server data source type and then set a username and password for the credentials.
Answer: A
Q3. DRAG DROP - (Topic 4)
You are developing a SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) multidimensional project.
You identify that a dimension, which has a large number of attributes, is issuing a separate (SELECT DISTINCT) query for each attribute even though they all come from a single database table. The table does not have a large number of rows.
You need to configure the processing of the dimension to issue only a single SQL query to the underlying database, and processing must continue if any errors are encountered.
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:
Q4. - (Topic 4)
You are creating a new report in SQL Server Report Builder. You add a Microsoft Azure SQL Database data source. Then you add a dataset that has four fields named Year. Country, Category, and Sales.
You must design a matrix as shown in the following table.
The category rows (the first three rows as shown in the diagram) must present total sales amount by category. The country rows {the next six rows as shown in the diagram) must present total sales amount by country. The total row must present the total sales for each year.
You add a matrix to the report. You add a grouping of the Category field on the rows and a grouping of the Year field on the columns.
You need to add the countries on the rows of the matrix.
Which Row Group option should you select when you add the group?
A. Adjacent Below
B. Child Group
C. Parent Group
D. Adjacent Above
Answer: A
