QUESTION 93
Drag and Drop Question
A SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) package named DataFeed interacts with an external vendor data feed.
The package is executed several times a day, either as part of other packages’ control flow or by itself. The external data feed is unreliable because network failures and slow response times are frequent. The package is currently deployed on the file system.
To analyze the reliability of the external data feed, you must collect execution data.
Every time the DataFeed package is executed, the following information must be logged:
– Start Time
– End Time
– Execution Result
– Execution Duration

QUESTION 97
You are designing a data warehouse hosted on SQL Azure.
The data warehouse currently includes the dimUser and dimDistrict dimension tables and the factSales fact table.
The dimUser table contains records for each user permitted to run reports against the warehouse; and the dimDistrict table contains information about sales districts.
The system is accessed by users from certain districts, as well as by area supervisors and users from the corporate headquarters.
You need to design a table structure to ensure that certain users can see sales data for only certain districts.
Some users must be permitted to see sales data from multiple districts.
What should you do?

QUESTION 98
You are reviewing the design of an existing fact table named factSales, which is loaded from a SQL Azure database by a SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) package each day.
The fact table has approximately 1 billion rows and is dimensioned by product, sales date, and sales time of day.
The database administrator is concerned about the growth of the database.
Users report poor reporting performance against this database.
Reporting requirements have recently changed and the only remaining report that uses this fact table reports sales by product name, sale month, and sale year.
No other reports will be created against this table.
You need to reduce the report processing time and minimize the growth of the database.
What should you do?
A. Partition the table by product type.
B. Create a view over the fact table to aggregate sales by month.
C. Change the granularity of the fact table to month.
D. Create an indexed view over the fact table to aggregate sales by month.
Answer: C
QUESTION 99
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 fact Target to dimSoftwareCategory with foreign key constraints.
Direct the cube developer to use key granularity attributes.
Answer: C
