NEW QUESTION 1
Note: This question is part of a series of questions that use the same or similar answer choices. An answer choice may be correct for more than one question in the series. Each question is independent of the other questions in this series. Information and details provided in a question apply only to that question.
You administer a Microsoft SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) tabular model for a travel agency that specializes in vacation packages. Vacation bookings and packages are stored in a SQL Server database. You use the model as the basis for customer emails that highlight vacation packages that are currently underbooked, or projected to be underbooked.
The company plans to incorporate cruise ship vacation packages. Cruise ship vacation packages include new features such as region availability and cruise line specialties that require changes to the tabular model.
You must ensure that the tabular model reflects the new vacation packages. You need to configure the tabular data model.
What should you do?
Answer: E
Explanation:
Process Full processes an Analysis Services object and all the objects that it contains. When Process Full is executed against an object that has already been processed, Analysis Services drops all data in the object, and then processes the object. This kind of processing is required when a structural change has been made to an object, for example, when an attribute hierarchy is added, deleted, or renamed.
NEW QUESTION 2
Note: This question is part of a series of questions that present the same scenario. Each question in the series contains a unique solution. Determine whether the solution meets the stated goals.
You have an existing multidimensional cube that provides sales analysis. The users can slice by date, product, location, customer, and employee.
The management team plans to evaluate sales employee performance relative to sales targets. You identify the following metrics for employees:
You need to implement the KPI based on the Status expression. Solution: You design the following solution:
Does the solution meet the goal?
Answer: B
NEW QUESTION 3
Note: This question is part of a series of questions that present the same scenario. Each question in the series contains a unique solution. Determine whether the solution meets the stated goals.
You deploy a tabular data model to an instance of Microsoft SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS). The model uses an in-memory cache to store and query data. The data set is already the same size as the available RAM on the server. Data volumes are likely to continue to increase rapidly.
Your data model contains multiple calculated tables.
The data model must begin processing each day at 2:00 and processing should be complete by 4:00 the same day. You observe that the data processing operation often does not complete before 7:00. This is adversely affecting team members.
You need to improve the performance. Solution: Enable Buffer Cache Extensions. Does the solution meet the goal?
Answer: B
Explanation:
In this scenario we would need both Buffer Cache Extensions and SSD.
The buffer pool extension provides the seamless integration of a nonvolatile random access memory (that is, solid-state drive) extension to the Database Engine buffer pool to significantly improve I/O throughput.
References:https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/database-engine/configure-windows/buffer-pool-extension
NEW QUESTION 4
You are developing a tabular Business Intelligence Semantic Model (BISM) database based on a SQL Server database.
In the data source, the FactInternetSales table is partitioned by month. Data from the current month has been updated and new data has been inserted in the FactInternetSales table, in the DimProduct table, and in the DimCustomer table.
In the model, the FactInternetSales table is also partitioned by month.
You need to ensure that the model has the most recent data while minimizing the processing time.
What should you do?
Answer: D
NEW QUESTION 5
Note: This question is part of a series of questions that use the same or similar answer choices. An answer choice may be correct for more than one question in the series. Each question is independent of the other questions in this series. Information and details provided in a question apply only to that question.
You are developing Microsoft SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) tabular model. The model must meet the following requirements:
You need to configure model. What should you do?
Answer: A
Explanation:
DAX originally emerged from a Power Pivot add-in for Excel, as a formula language extension for creating calculated columns and measures for data analysis (which are also integral elements of one SSAS Tabular model database, too), but when Microsoft added support for DAX queries in SQL Server 2012, BI experts started “daxing” data from Tabular model databases.
That trend continues, because of simplicity and fast query execution (related to DirectQuery mode in SSAS Tabular).

NEW QUESTION 6
Note: This question is part of a series of questions that present the same scenario. Each question in the series contains a unique solution. Determine whether the solution meets the stated goals.
A company has an e-commerce website. When a customer places an order, information about the transaction is inserted into tables in a Microsoft SQL Server relational database named OLTP1. The company has a SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) instance that is configured to use Tabular mode. SSAS uses data from OLTP1 to populate a data model.
Sales analysts build reports based on the SSAS model. Reports must be able to access data as soon as it is available in the relational database.
You need to configure and deploy an Analysis Services project to the Analysis Services instance that allows near real-time data source access.
Solution: In the Deployment Option property for the report, you set the Query Mode to InMemory.
Does the solution meet the goal?
Answer: B
Explanation:
With InMemory the queries can use the cache only. References:https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh230898(v=sql.120).aspx
NEW QUESTION 7
You are managing a SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) tabular database.
The database must meet the following requirements:
✑ The processing must load data into partitions or tables.
✑ The processing must not rebuild hierarchies or relationships.
✑ The processing must not recalculate calculated columns.
You need to implement a processing strategy for the database to meet the requirements. Which processing mode should you use?
Answer: C
NEW QUESTION 8
You are building a Microsoft SQL Server Analysis Services multidimensional model over a SQL Server database. In a cube named OrderAnalysis, there is a standard cube dimension named Stock Item.
This dimension has the following attributes:
Users report that the attributes Stock Item Key and Photo are distracting and are not providing any value. They have asked for the attributes to be removed. However, these attributes are needed by other cubes.
You need to hide the specified attributes from the end users of the OrderAnalysis cube. You do not want to change the structure of the dimension.
Which change should you make to the properties for the Stock Item Key and Photo attributes?
Answer: A
Explanation:
The value of the AttributeHierarchyEnabled property determines whether an attribute hierarchy is created. If this property is set to False, the attribute hierarchy is not created and the attribute cannot be used as a level in a user hierarchy; the attribute hierarchy exists as a member property only. However, a disabled attribute hierarchy can still be used to order the members of another attribute. If the value of
the AttributeHierarchyEnabled property is set to True, the value of
the AttributeHierarchyVisible property determines whether the attribute hierarchy is visible independent of its use in a user-defined hierarchy.

NEW QUESTION 9
DRAG DROP
You install a SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) instance in tabular mode on a server.
While processing a very large tabular model, you receive an out-of-memory error. You identify that the amount of physical memory in the server is insufficient. Additional physical memory cannot be installed in the server.
You need to configure the server to allow paging to disk by using the operating system page file (pagefile.sys).
Which four 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: A
Explanation:
Box 1:
Box 2:
Box 3:
Box 4:
Note:
* View or set configuration properties in Management Studio
✑ In SQL Server Management Studio, connect to an Analysis Services instance. In Object Explorer, right-click the Analysis Services instance, and then clickProperties. The General page appears, displaying the more commonly used properties.
✑ To view additional properties, click theShow Advanced (All) Propertiescheckbox at the bottom of the page.
Modifying server properties is supported only for tabular mode and multidimensional mode servers. If you installed PowerPivot for SharePoint, always use the default values unless you are directed otherwise by a Microsoft product support engineer.
* VertiPaqPagingPolicy
Specifies the paging behavior in the event the server runs low on memory. Valid values are as follows:
Zero (0) is the default. No paging is allowed. If memory is insufficient, processing fails with an out-of-memory error.
1 enables paging to disk using the operating system page file (pagefile.sys).
When VertiPaqPagingPolicy is set to 1, processing is less likely to fail due to memory constraints because the server will try to page to disk using the method that you specified. Setting the VertiPaqPagingPolicy property does not guarantee that memory errors will never happen. Out of memory errors can still occur under the following conditions:
There is not enough memory for all dictionaries. During processing, Analysis Services locks the dictionaries for each column in memory, and all of these together cannot be more than the value specified for VertiPaqMemoryLimit.
There is insufficient virtual address space to accommodate the process.
To resolve persistent out of memory errors, you can either try to redesign the model to reduce the amount of data that needs processing, or you can add more physical memory to the computer.
Applies to tabular server mode only
* Incorrect: VertiPaqMemoryLimit
If paging to disk is allowed, this property specifies the level of memory consumption (as a percentage of total memory) at which paging starts. The default is 60. If memory
consumption is less than 60 percent, the server will not page to disk.
This property depends on the VertiPaqPagingPolicyProperty, which must be set to 1 in order for paging to occur.
Applies to tabular server mode only.
NEW QUESTION 10
HOTSPOT
You are a database administrator in a company that uses Microsoft SharePoint Server for all intranet sites. You are responsible for the installation of new database server instances.
You must install Microsoft SQL Server Analysis Server (SSAS) to support deployment of the following projects. You develop both projects by using SQL Server Data Tools.
You need to install the appropriate services to support both projects.
What should you do? In the table below, select the appropriate services for each project. NOTE: Make only one selection in each column. Each correct selection is worth one point.
Answer: A
Explanation:
Project1:
Project2: Multidimensional
Note: Analysis Services can be installed in one of three server modes: Multidimensional and Data Mining (default), Power Pivot for SharePoint, and Tabular.
NEW QUESTION 11
A database named DB2 uses the InMemory query mode. Users frequently run the following query:
You need to ensure no users see the PriorYearSales measure in the field list for the Sales table.
What should you do?
Answer: A
Explanation:
Using perspectives in the data model might help you expose a subset of tables, columns, and measures that are useful for a particular type of analysis.
Usually, every user needs only a subset of data you create, and showing him or her the model through perspectives can offer a better user experience.
From scenario; The PriorYearSales measure is referenced by other measures, and is not intended to be analyzed directly by users.

NEW QUESTION 12
Note: This question is part of a series of questions that present the same scenario. Each question in the series contains a unique solution. Determine whether the solution meets the stated goals.
You deploy a tabular data model to an instance of Microsoft SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS). The model uses an in-memory cache to store and query data. The data set is already the same size as the available RAM on the server. Data volumes are likely to continue to increase rapidly.
Your data model contains multiple calculated tables.
The data model must begin processing each day at 2:00 and processing should be complete by 4:00 the same day. You observe that the data processing operation often does not complete before 7:00. This is adversely affecting team members.
You need to improve the performance.
Solution: Install solid-state disk drives to store the tabular data model. Does the solution meet the goal?
Answer: B
Explanation:
By default, tabular models use an in-memory cache to store and query data. When tabular models query data residing in-memory, even complex queries can be incredibly fast. However, there are some limitations to using cached data. Namely, large data sets can exceed available memory, and data freshness requirements can be difficult if not impossible to achieve on a regular processing schedule.
DirectQuery overcomes these limitations while also leveraging RDBMS features making query execution more efficient.
With DirectQuery: +

You need to create the KPI.
Solution: You set the value of the Status expression to:
Does the solution meet the goal?
Answer: B
NEW QUESTION 14
HOTSPOT
A database named DB2 uses the InMemory query mode. Users frequently run the following
query:
You need to configure SQL Server Profiler to determine why the query is performing poorly. Which three event should you monitor on the SQL Server Profiler trace events
configuration page? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.
Answer: A
Explanation:
By using SQL Profiler, you can intercept two classes of trace events from Analysis Services, DAX Query Plan and DirectQuery events, both generated by the DirectQuery engine. Here, in this scenario we have a DAX Query.
DAX Query Plan events are generated by the DAX formula.
By using the In-Memory mode, you store a copy of data in the xVelocity (VertiPaq) storage engine.
Figure: This is how a query is executed by using In-Memory mode.
References: Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Analysis Services, The BISM Tabular Model, Microsoft Press (July 2012), page 331
From Scenario: Users report that the query takes a long time to complete.

You need to configure the SalesAnalysis cube to correct the sales analysis by customer calculation.
Which four 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: A
Explanation:
Step 1: Open the cube editor, and open the Dimension Usage tab.
Step 2: Configure a relationship between the Customer dimension and the Sales measure group. Use Day as the granularity.
From scenario: The SalesAnalysis cube contains a fact table named CoffeeSale loaded from a table named FactSale in the data warehouse. The time granularity within the cube is 15 minutes. The cube is processed every night at 23:00. You determine that the fact table cannot be fully processed in the expected time. Users have reported slow query response times.
Step 3: Reprocess the cube.
Step 4: Deploy the project changes.
