72 Network administrators have deployed server certificates to the Windows store of all Windows servers on the network from a trusted Certificate Authority. This is the only Certificate Authority allowed to distribute certificates on the network. You enable the Force Encryption flag for the MSSQLServer protocols, but client computers are unable to connect. They receive the following error message: "A connection was successfully established with the server, but then an error occurred during the pre-login handshake, (provider: SSL Provider, error: 0 - The certificate chain was issued by an authority that is not trusted.) (Microsoft SQL Server)" You notice the following entry in the SQL Server log: "A self-generated certificate was successfully loaded for encryption." You need to configure SQL Server to encrypt all client traffic across the network. You also need to ensure that client computers are able to connect to the server by using a trusted certificate.

75 Section: Volume A Reference: Policies are created and managed by using Management Studio. The process includes the following steps: 1. Select a Policy-Based Management facet that contains the properties to be configured. 2. Define a condition that specifies the state of a management facet. 3. Define a policy that contains the condition, additional conditions that filter the target sets, and the evaluation mode. 4. Check whether an instance of SQL Server is in compliance with the policy. Evaluation modes There are four evaluation modes, three of which can be automated: On demand. This mode evaluates the policy when directly specified by the user. On change: prevent. This automated mode uses DDL triggers to prevent policy violations. Important If the nested triggers server configuration option is disabled, On change: prevent will not work correctly. Policy- Based Management relies on DDL triggers to detect and roll back DDL operations that do not comply with policies that use this evaluation mode. Removing the

76 Policy-Based Management DDL triggers or disabling nest triggers, will cause this evaluation mode to fail or perform unexpectedly. On change: log only. This automated mode uses event notification to evaluate a policy when a relevant change is made. On schedule. This automated mode uses a SQL Server Agent job to periodically evaluate a policy.

Note that under the simple recovery model, the file must belong to a read-only filegroup. After a full file restore, a differential file backup can be restored. Page restore Restores individual pages. Page restore is available only under the full and bulk-logged recovery models Piecemeal restore Restores the database in stages, beginning with the primary filegroup and one or more secondary filegroups. A piecemeal restore begins with a RESTORE DATABASE using the PARTIAL option and specifying one or more secondary filegroups to be restored QUESTION 132 You administer a Microsoft SQL Server 2012 server that hosts a transactional database and a reporting database. The transactional database is updated through a web application and is operational throughout the day. The reporting database is only updated from the transactional database. The recovery model and backup schedule are configured as shown in the following table:

157 At 16:20 hours, you discover that pages 17, 137, and 205 on one of the database files are corrupted on the transactional database. You need to ensure that the transactional database is restored. You also need to ensure that data loss is minimal. What should you do?

158 A. Perform a partial restore. B. Restore the latest full backup, and restore the latest differential backup. Then, restore each log backup taken before the time of failure from the most recent differential backup. C. Perform a point-in-time restore. D. Restore the latest full backup. E. Restore the latest full backup, and restore the latest differential backup. Then, restore the latest log backup. F. Perform a page restore. G. Restore the latest full backup. Then, restore each differential backup taken before the time of failure from the most recent full backup. H. Restore the latest full backup. Then, restore the latest differential backup. Correct Answer: F Section: Volume A Requirements for Restoring Pages A page restore is subject to the following requirements: The databases must be using the full or bulk-logged recovery model. Some issues exist if you are using the bulk-logged model. For more information, see the following section. Pages in read-only filegroups cannot be restored. Trying to make a filegroup read-only will fail if there is a page restore going on at the same time in the filegroup. The restore sequence must start with a full, file, or filegroup backup. A page restore requires an unbroken chain of log backups up to the current log file, and they must all be applied so that the page is brought up to date with the current log file. As in a file-restore sequence, in each restore step, you can add more pages to the roll forward set. A database backup and page restore cannot be run at the same time. Bulk-logged Recovery Model and Page Restore For a database that uses the bulk-logged recovery model, page restore has the following additional conditions: Backing up while filegroup or page data is offline is problematic for bulk-logged data, because the offline data is not recorded in the log. Any offline page can prevent backing up the log. In this cases, consider using DBCC REPAIR, because this might cause less data loss than restoring to the most recent backup. If a log backup of a bulk-logged database encounters a bad page, it fails unless WITH CONTINUE_AFTER_ERROR is specified. Page restore generally does not work with bulk-logged recovery. A best practice for performing page restore is to set the database to the full recovery model, and try a log backup. If the log backup works, you can continue with the page restore. If the log backup fails, you either have to lose work since the previous log backup or you have to try running DBCC must be run with the REPAIR_ALLOW_DATA_LOSS option.

227 In order to develop a failure recovery plan that is published for a SQL Server. Which is the correct answer? A. You should back up the master database. B. You should back up the local database. C. You should back up the system database. D. You should back up the systemdb databse. Correct Answer: A Section: (none) Tricky question... Obvious answer is msdb*, but if you read more carefully they are asking for SQL Server recovery plan, not for SSIS packages... Master: The master database contains system information and high-level information about all databases on an SQL Server. If the master database becomes damaged, SQL Server may fail to start and user databases may become unavailable. There are many operations which change the content of the master database like creating and altering databases, adding and modifying logins, creating linked servers etc. But since one cannot keep backing up master after every such operation, schedule the master database to be backed up on a regular basis (for example: once every night, or once every week depending on the frequency of such changes to the database). This will backup the changes made to the user databases and SQL Server, which can then be recovered in case of a master database corruption. Note: Only full database backups of master can be performed. Transactional log, differential or filegroup backups of master are not allowed. Thus if you create a Database Maintenance Plan for all the system databases or if you select the master database and you select the Back up the transaction log as part of the maintenance plan option, the backup transaction log step for the master database will fail with this error message: Msdb: The msdb database is used by SQL Server, SQL Server Enterprise Manager, and SQL Server Agent to store data, including scheduled job information, backup and restore history information, DTS packages. Note: You will notice that, by default, the trunc. log on chkpt database option is set to true, for the msdb database. This helps ensure that the transaction log of the database does not fill up, and prevents problems that may occur due to inadequate disk space. Because the msdb database generally remains rather small, full database backups provide a fast alternative to transaction log backups for this database. *EXAM TIP When you deploy a package to SQL Server, the package is stored in the msdb database in a table named dbo.sysssispackages. Therefore, if you want to back up packages that have been deployed to SQL Server, you can back up the msdb database. The master database is the most important database of all and the most recent version of the backup should be available in the case of disaster. Backup of the master database should be made for: - Changing server-level configuration settings; - Changing database-level configuration settings; and - Changing any logon accounts details.

228 The master database records all the system-level information for a SQL Server system. This includes instancewide metadata such as logon accounts, endpoints, linked servers, and system configuration settings. Also, master is the database that records the existence of all other databases and the location of those database files and records the initialization information for SQL Server. Therefore, SQL Server cannot start if the master database is unavailable. In SQL Server, system objects are no longer stored in the master database; instead, they are stored in the Resource database. The msdb database is used by SQL Server Agent for scheduling alerts and jobs and by other features such as Service Broker and Database Mail. QUESTION 222 You are developing a SQL Server 2008 Reporting Services (SSRS) instance of report model for Company. com. In the Report Builder tool, the users should need to create their SSRS reports. The data source they used will include a Microsoft SQL Server 2008 database. Which include 1000 tables? You should design the report model for users, and allow access to only the 20 tables which they require for reporting. Which is the correct answer? A. You should develop DataSet using the Web Service to Schema(s) option. B. You should develop DataTable using the Web Service to Schema(s) option. C. You should develop a data source view and select only the required tables and views. D. You should set the data source view in the setting file. Correct Answer: C Section: (none) Data source view (DSV) Abstracts the underlying database schema. Although a DSV might seem redundant, it can be very useful by letting you augment the schema. For example, you can add calculated columns to a DSV when security policies prevent you from changing the database schema. QUESTION 223 You are managing a SQL Server 2008 Analysis Services (SSAS) database for Company.com. A sales manager called Clerk is responsible for the sales of bikes in the Northeast region. You decide to give some rights to the rights to Clerk to visit the database. You won two roles below called Northeast Region and Bikes. Their schemas are listed below: You have make The Visual Totals properties attribute true for roles above. You should make sure that Clerk could browser the workers in the Product dimension which link to the Bikes category in the Northeast region. Which is the correct answer? A. You should increase Clerk to a Bikes role B. You should increase Clerk to the Northeast Region role. C. You should increase Clerk to a new role which owns components below: [Products Territory Region].[Northeast]} as the permitted configuration.{[product].

229 [Product Category]. [Product Category].[Bikes]} as the permitted D. You should increase Clerk to the default Region role. Correct Answer: C Section: (none) There was a mess in original q - Nikes, Bikes, Southwest, Northwest... I think I have fixed it :) another version of the q is: QUESTION 224 You are managing a SQL Server 2008 Analysis Services (SSAS) database which includes a Sale dimension that includes the Category and Subcategory properties for Company.com. There is a rigid relationship type for properties. The data source for the Sale dimension alters the relationship between the Type and Sub Type values. You should make sure that you could run an XML to operate the dimension to reflect the change normally for Analysis (XMLA). Which is the correct answer? A. You should utilize the ProcessDefault command. B. You should utilize the ProcessClear command. C. You should utilize the ProcessIndexes command. D. You should utilize the ProcessDefault and the ProcessClear commands. Correct Answer: D Section: (none) Process Default Performs the minimum number of tasks required to fully initialize a mining object. For example, if you change a model and send Process Default to the structure, the server will process that model only. Process Full Drops the object stores and rebuilds the model. Metadata changes, such as adding a new column to a mining structure, require Process Full. Process Structure Reads and caches the training data in the structure. Does not affect the mining models inside the structure. Process Clear Structure Drops the cached data without affecting the mining models inside the structure. Disables drillthrough features. Consider Process Clear Structure if you need to dispose of the sourcedata used to train the models to reduce the disk footprint. Unprocess Deletes data from the mining object. When this command is sent to a structure, it deletes the cached training data in the structure and the model

230 patterns QUESTION 225 You are managing a SQL Server 2008 Analysis Services (SSAS) instance for Company.com. In order to execute the Usage-Based Optimization Wizard you should make query logging enable. Which is the correct answer? A. You should make the QueryLogSampling server attribute default value. B. You should make the QueryLogSampling server attribute 5. C. You should configure the server property of DefaultFolders. D. You should configure the QueryLogConnectionString server attribute and set a valid connection string. Correct Answer: D Section: (none) Enabling the Query Log The query log captures the query activity as users and applications interact with the server. To enable the query log in SSMS, right-click the Analysis Services server node, and then select Properties. Next, in the Analysis Server Properties dialog box, shown in Figure 8-20, set the QueryLog properties Table 8-4 QueryLog Properties Property Description CreateQueryLogTable When set to True and if the server account has sufficient privileges, the server will create the log table if it does not already exist. QueryLogConnectionString A valid connection string to a SQL Server database; the query log is disabled if this property is empty. QueryLogSampling The frequency for query sampling. By default, every tenth query is logged. QueryLogTableName The name of the table in a SQL Server database that will capture the query statistics.

231 Section: (none) QUESTION 227 You are managing a SQL Server 2008 Analysis Services (SSAS) database for Company.com. In order to update data in a partition each hour you should run the incremental processing method. In order to solve the problem, which is the correct answer? A. You should utilize ProcessAdd for Analysis (XMLA) command B. You should utilize default command for Analysis (XMLA) C. You should utilize ProcessNone for Analysis (XMLA) command D. You should utilize ProcessView for Analysis (XMLA) command Correct Answer: A Section: (none) BEST PRACTICES CONSIDER FULLY PROCESSING THE ENTIRE DATABASE fully processing the entire SSAS database is the cleanest and easiest solution to process all objects in the database, but it is not necessarily the fastest. Because SSAS processes objects in parallel and has a very effi cient processing architecture that can handle some 10,000 records per second, you might fi nd that you can process even large cubes within a reasonable time frame. Consider more advanced processing options, such as incremental processing (ProcessUpdate), only when fully processing the database is not an option. QUESTION 228 You are developing a SQL Server 2008 Reporting Services (SSRS) report for Company.com. Assembly should be created in order to run real-time lookup and currency conversion. The assembly has a static class named daily which lives in the namespace HomeCalc. there is a method called DMO which need two arguments, Cuurnt and HomeCalc When the report is operating, you should reference the ToEUR method in an expression to convert USD to USO. Which is the correct answer? A. You should use the expression of =Code. HomeCalc. Daily. USO (Fields! Cuurnt.Value," DMO ") B. You should use the expression of =Code! HomeCalc. Daily. USO (Fields!

You should stop the Analysis Services service. D. Before stopping the Analysis Services service you should remove the files in the original folder, Correct Answer: A Section: (none) QUESTION 230 You are managing a SQL Server 2008 Analysis Services (SSAS) database which includes a dimension called Product for Company.com. You should set the Dimension Data configurations as following: Deny access to the {[ Product].[Country].[USA],[ Product].[Country].[China]} configure of property workers.

233 New workers increased to the property are seen by default. Which is the correct answer? A. You should increase the whole country members. B. You should increase property below: [Country].[ China],[Product].[Country].[ USA]} C. You should increase property below: [Country].[ China],[Product].[Country].[ USA]} D. You should increase property below: [Country].[ China],[Product].[Country].[ USA]} Correct Answer: B Section: (none) QUESTION 231 You are creating SQL Server 2008 Integration Services (SSIS) packages which is stored in a folder on the network for Company.com. All members of the team can view the packages but not the attribute values. Your task is to make the attribute values be protected by password. Which is the correct answer below? A. You should Use a batch file that runs the dtutil program to set the PackageProtectionLevel property to EncryptSensitiveWithPassword on each of the SSIS packages you have B. You should Use a batch file that runs the dtutil program to set the PackageProtectionLevel property to ServerStorage on each of the SSIS packages you have created. C. You should Use the SSIS package designer to set the PackageProtectionLevel property to EncryptAllWithUserKey on each of the previously saved packages. D. You should Use the SSIS package designer to set the PackageProtectionLevel property to EncryptSensitiveWithUserKey on each of the previously saved packages. Correct Answer: A Section: (none)

234 You can deploy single SSIS packages manually, but a better choice is to use the DTUtil command- line tool, which lets you write a command for the deployment and then automate the process. You could deploy the package to the local SQL Server using Windows Authentication by including a simple command, such as this: dtutil.exe / FILE c:\integratecrm.dtsx / COPY SQL;IntegrateCRM Other command-line switches let you specify the destination SQL Server and SQL Server user name and password as needed. Table 4-2 ProtectionLevel Options Option Description DontSaveSensitive Sensitive information is not saved in the package at all. Each time the package is reopened in BIDS, the connection passwords must be reentered. For package execution, the password needs to be stored in a package configuration or passed to the package through the command-line setting. This is the recommended setting if you are exclusively using Windows Authentication for your connections. EncryptAllWithPassword The entire package is encrypted with a password that is set in the PackagePassword property. To open the package in BIDS, you need to enter the correct package password, and the package cannot be executed without passing the password to the package at execution EncryptAllWithUserKey The entire package is encrypted based on the current user and computer. Only the user who last designed or exported the package can design or execute the package. A package cannot be opened in BIDS unless it is opened by the user who developed it, on the computer on which it was developed. The package can be executed only through the same user account on the same computer. EncryptSensitiveWithPassword The sensitive information in the package is encrypted based on a package password, which is set in the PackagePassword property. Each time the package is reopened, a password must be provided. If the password is not provided, the package will open, but all sensitive data will be replaced with blanks. If a user attempts to execute the package without a password,the execution will fail. EncryptSensitiveWithUserKey The sensitive information (connection passwords) in the package is encrypted based on the current user and computer. If the same user reopens the package, nothing is changed. If a different user opens the package, all the sensitive information is cleared out. Other users can still design or execute the package, but they need to enter the password or pass the password into the package through the command line or SSIS configurations. ServerStorage This setting can be used only when a package is stored in a SQL Server database. Server storage means that nothing in the package definition is encrypted. Instead, the entire package is protected by using a SQL Server database role. This option is not supported when a package is saved to the file system. If encryption is enabled in the package by using any of the ProtectionLevel options except ServerStorage and DontSaveSensitive, the encrypted data is saved along with the rest of the package's information in the.dtsx file. If the entire package is encrypted, all the.dtsx file's XML code is encrypted, and the XML cannot be read by a text editor. SSIS encrypts the data by using the Microsoft Data Protection Application Programming Interface (DPAPI). QUESTION 232 You are managing a SQL Server 2008 Analysis Services (SSAS) database for Company.com. Through utilizing SQL Profiler, you decide to troubleshoot search function. You should make sure that it will cost a lot of time to query. Which is the correct answer? A. You should utilize store procedure. B. You should utilize Query Subcube C. You should utilize a Dynamic Management View (DMV) D. You should utilize Transactions Log.

235 Correct Answer: B Section: (none) The server raises the Query Begin event when it receives an MDX query and the Query End event when it has finished executing the query. The Query Subcube event shows which attributes the server used to satisfy the query. When configuring the trace, you can check the Query Subcube Verbose event to see these attributes in a human-readable format QUESTION 233 You are developing a report which is difficult and cost a lot of time to produce. You use the technology of SQL Server 2008 Reporting Services (SSRS). You should make sure that you could set the report server to cache the report for 40 minutes at the beginning of the request. Which is the correct answer? A. Report snapshots should be run for report. B. You should run report execution caching for report. C. You should set the data source to utilize a DBCC INDEXDEFRAG. D. You should set the data source to utilize a DBCC SHRINKFILE. INDEXDEFRAG Correct Answer: B Section: (none) By default, a report is rendered using the most recent data. This means that every execution starts by reading the database data. This could be a large processing burden on a production server. To reduce the load on your server, you can cache a temporary copy of a report. SSRS caches the report in the ReportServer database with all the data but without any of the rendering information. If a report exists in the cache, when the next user runs the report, the user gets the data from the cache, and there is no need to reread data from the database. With report caching, Reporting Services can create and store a copy of the intermediate format report in a temporary SQL Server database named ReportServerTempDB in the Execution- Cache table. Even when the first request from a user follows the schema presented earlier, the processing of subsequent requests is altered as follows: 1. A request is sent to Report Server. 2. Report Server validates the properties associated with the object requested. If report execution is set to use the cache, and an item already exists in the ExecutionCache table of the ReportServerTempDB database for the ReportID of the requested report and the parameters passed are the same, Report Server renders the report from the stored intermediate format. Uusing Report Snapshots for Report Execution If you cache a report, the fi rst user who runs the report after the cache has expired will have to wait longer to view the report than the users who follow, because the fi rst user triggers the data being read from the database. You can prevent this problem by creating a snapshot of the data in advance of the fi rst report being run.

236 To do this, select the Render This Report From An Execution Snapshot option in the execution properties of a report. You can create a snapshot based on a shared or a report-specifi c schedule. In addition, you can create the first snapshot immediately after you save the execution settings. Another caching consideration is determining whether previous versions of the cache should be persisted. Persistence of previous values in reports might be required by business users for comparison purposes or to be able to refer to those numbers later. Using snapshots, you can create persistent copies of a report and store those copies in the report history. QUESTION 234 You are developing a SQL Server 2008 Analysis Server (SSAS) method which includes a measure group called TestGroup with a one partition for Company.com. The condition listed below should be included * Searches which utilize TestGroup on the newest version of the information. * In a many aspects format, the whole collections which are member of TestGroup are reserved. In order to solve the problem, which is the correct answer? A. You should configure Real-time hybrid online analytical processing (HOLAP) B. You should configure Real-time relational offline analytical processing (ROLAP). C. You should configure scheduled relational offline analytical processing (ROLAP). D. You should configure scheduled online processing (MOLAP). Correct Answer: A Section: (none) HYBRID OLAP As its name suggests, HOLAP is a hybrid between MOLAP and ROLAP. In HOLAP, the cube data remains in the relational store, but the aggregations are stored on the SSAS server. HOLAP is the most effi cient mode in terms of disk space because detail-level data is not duplicated, as it is with MOLAP, and HOLAP requires less space to store aggregations than ROLAP does EXAM TIP Choose the HOLAP storage mode if you want to store cube aggregations on the SSAS server but keep the fact data in the source database In terms of query performance, HOLAP scores in the middle. If the query can be satisfi ed entirely by existing aggregations, HOLAP performs as well as MOLAP. But if it cannot be satisfied, the query is sent to the relational database, and performance suffers. In terms of processing times, HOLAP cubes might be processed faster than either MOLAP or ROLAP cubes because data is read only once to create aggregations. However, because SSAS has an efficient storage architecture, in real life MOLAP and HOLAP should give you comparable processing times, so it is best to consider HOLAP only for large historical partitions that are queried infrequently. QUESTION 235 You are developing a SQL Server 2008 Reporting Services (SSRS) method for Company.com. There are some components listed below:

237 A hierarchy called Test in a time dimension called DimTestTime A method called SalesNumber You decide to increase codes to the cube's calculation Freeze([Measures].[ SalesNumber], 13 [DimTestTime].[ Test].[Quarter].[Q0 2008]); For every month in the second quarter of 2008, not only should you add the value of the SalesNumber measure through 80%. But also you should make sure that the value for the second quarter of 2008 keeps common. Which is the correct answer? A. You should increase codes below at line 14. Scope([Measures].[DimTime].[Date].[Quarter].[Q0 2008]);This= [DimTime].[Date].currentmember * 3;End Scope; B. You should increase codes below at line 11. Scope([Measures].[ SalesNumber],[ DimTestTime].[ Test]. [Quarter]. [Q0 2008]);End Scope; C. You should increase codes below at line 14 [ SalesNumber],Descendants([DimTestTime].[ Test].[Quarter]. [Q0 2008][ DimTestTime].[ Test].[Month]));This= [ DimTestTime].[ Test].currentmember * 5;End Scope; D. You should increase codes below at line 11. Scope([Measures] SalesNumber],Descendants([DimTestTime]. [ Test].[Second].[ Q0 2008][ DimTestTime].[ Test]. [ Second]));This=[ [ Test] [Second].currentmember * 1.5; End Scope; Correct Answer: C Section: (none) QUESTION 236 Through utilizing SQL Server 2008 Analysis Services (SSAS) for Company.com,you are developing a model of data mining. Through utilizing the listed Data Mining Extensions (DMX) codes, you could develop a structure CREATE MINING STRUCTURE [Clerk Maker] ( [User Key] LONG KEY,[Total Age] LONG DISCRETIZED (Automatic, 20),[Clerk Maker] LONG ISCRETE,[Distance] TEXT DISCRETE,[Monthly Income] DOUBLE CONTINUOUS) Not only should you develop a mining model which could be operated through utilizing this structure, but also you should make sure that the model utilizes the Microsoft algorithm. Which is the correct answer?

238 A. You should add codes below: ALTER MINING STRUCTURE [Clerk Maker] ADD MINING MODEL [Decision Tree] ([User Key], [Total Age], [Clerk Maker] PREDICT, [Distance], [Monthly Income]) B. You should add codes below: INSERT INTO [Decision Tree] ([User Key], [Clerk Maker], [Monthly Income]) OPENQUERY ([Clerk Maker],'Select [User Key], [Clerk Maker], [Monthly Income]') C. You should add codes below: SELECT * FROM [Decision Tree] USING [Microsoft_Decision_Trees] FROM [Decision Tree]] D. You should add codes below: SELECT * FROM [Decision Tree] USING [Microsoft_Decision_Trees] FROM [Clerk Maker] Correct Answer: A Section: (none) QUESTION 237 You are creating a SQL Server 2008 Integration Services (SSIS) package which should be intercalated on 20 servers for Company.com. You can't visit the file system of any server. You should change the package setting attributes when package is running. Which is the correct answer below? A. You should create an XML configuration file. Select the XML configuration type in the SSIS Package Configurations Organizer. B. You should create a batch file that uses the dtutil utility program to set the package configuration properties while the package deploys into production. C. You should Use the SSIS Package Configuration Wizard to create a SQL Server Configuration type. Select a centralized Microsoft SQL Server to store the package configuration D. You should create a.reg file that contains entries for each of the configuration properties. Select a single Registry Configuration type in the SSIS Package Configurations Correct Answer: C Section: (none) Type Description XML Configuration File Stores configuration settings in an XML file in the file system.select XML Configuration File if you are comfortable working with configuration files and your project requirements let you store configuration information in a file system file. You can store multiple configurations in a single XML file. Environment Variable Saves the configuration information inside the system's global variables collection, which is called an environment variable. When you add an Environment Variable configuration, you can choose only one property for each Environment Variable configuration. Registry Entry Lets you save package

239 properties and settings inside your computer's registry. You can select multiple configuration settings at a time and store them in the registry. Parent Package Variable Provides a way to inherit the value of a variable from a parent package. When a package is executed from another SSIS package by using the Execute Package Task, the values of its variables are available to the child package through the Parent Package Variable configuration. With this configuration type, you can choose only one package property setting at a time. SQL Server Uses a SQL Server table to store the package setting information.this configuration setting lets you store multiple configurationsin a single table. Creating a SQL Server Configuration If you decide to store your package configurations in a SQL Server table, select SQL Server from the Configuration Type drop-down list in the Package Configuration Wizard. Using Microsoft SQL Server as the storage mechanism for your configurations requires a different group of settings from what the other configuration types, such as the XML Configuration File, use. Figure 3-5 shows the SQL Server configuration options available for setting up configurations EXAM TIP Packages can share SQL Server configurations even if they are running on different servers because the SQL Server configuration does not have to be stored on the local server, unlike the other confi guration types QUESTION 238 You are developing a SQL Server 2008 Analysis Services (SSAS) method for Company.com. There is a dimension called TestProduct which includes the listed properties. * Product * City * Country The TestProduct dimension is connect with a measure group named Products which owns the Granularity attribute link to City. It is a key for Product. You should make sure that you could search values according to the City and Country properties. Which is the correct answer? A. You should configure the source property to Product and the connected property to City. And then configure the source property to City and the connected property to Country. B. You should configure the source property to Product and the connected property to City. C. You should modify the source property to Product and the connected property to City. D. You should delete the source property to Product and the connected property to City. Correct Answer: A Section: (none) QUESTION 239 You are creating a Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Analysis Services (SSAS) project for Company.com.

You should link to the SQL Server 2008 SSAS instance by using Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS). Right-click Instance in Object Explorer, and then click the Migrate Correct Answer: D Section: (none) QUESTION 240 You are developing a SQL Server 2008 Analysis Services (SSAS) method for Company.com. There is a table called Product which includes listed columns below: * ProductKey * Logger * ProductNumber Firstly you develop a dimension called DimProductOrders from the Product table, and then configure the ProductKey as a key column and the Logger column as a property. At last you create a measure group called FactProductOrders from the Product table. You should make sure that you could develop a dimension relationship. Then you could make ProductNumber column gathered by the Logger column. Which is the correct answer? A. Between the DimProductOrders dimension and the ProductNumber measure group, you should develop a virtual dimension relationship. B. Between the DimProductOrders dimension and the ProductNumber measure group, you should develop a fact dimension relationship. C. Between the DimProductOrders dimension and the ProductKey measure group, you should develop a fact dimension relationship. D. Before configuring the Granularity attribute to ProductKey and the measure group columns to ProductNumber, you should you should develop a fact dimension relationship. Correct Answer: B Section: (none)

241 Dimension Usage Relationship Types Relationship type purpose Regular Defines the relationship when a dimension is joined directly to a measure group through a specific attribute called the granularity attribute. Fact Used when the dimension is based on the fact table used to define the measure group. Referenced Used when a given dimension is related to a measure group through an intermediate dimension. Many-To-Many Specifies that a dimension is related to a given measure group through an intermediate measure group. Data Mining Defines the relationship between a dimension based on a data mining model and a given measure group. EXAM TIP Sometimes after analyzing the database schema and designing fact and dimension tables, you will be left with columns in the fact table that do not justify moving them to designated dimension tables, such as Sales order number. yet reporting requirements might require you to let end users browse data by these columns--for example, to see all sales order line items for a given sales order. you can meet such requirements by building dimensions directly from the fact table and then joining them to the related measure groups through a fact relationship. QUESTION 241 You are creating a SQL Server 2008 Analysis Services (SSAS) database which contains some measure groups for Company.com. One of measure groups Product Data allows refresh Than others' frequently. You should make sure that Product Data measure group would operate on a schedule managed through SSAS. Which is the correct answer? A. You should change the attribute of the ProactiveCaching property. B. You should change the attribute of the DataAggregation property. C. You should change the attribute of the ProcessingMode property. D. You should change the attribute of the ProcessingPriority property. Correct Answer: A Section: (none) The ProactiveCaching property determines whether the SSAS service will process and update the dimension automatically. Most typical SSAS solutions use MOLAP storage and do not employ proactive caching. EXAM TIP Proactive caching is especially useful when the relational database is transaction oriented and data changes at random. When data changes are predictable--such as when you use an extract, transform, and load (ETL) process to load data--consider processing the cube explicitly. When the data source is transaction oriented and you want minimum latency, consider confi guring the cube to process automatically by using proactive caching. How Proactive Caching Works When you enable proactive caching, the server can listen for data change notifications and can update dimensions and measures dynamically in an autopilot mode.

242 QUESTION 242 You are a database developer and you have about two years experience in creating business Intelligence (BI) by using SQL Server2008. Now you are employed in a company named NaproStar which uses SQL Server2008. You work as the technical support.

You should modify the AllowConfigurationChanges property of the project D. You should copy each package. Then you should rename each copy with a.ssisdeploymentmanifest file extension Correct Answer: B

243 Section: (none) QUESTION 243 You are a database developer and you have about two years experience in reating business Intelligence (BI) by using SQL Server2008. Now you are employed in a company named NaproStar which uses SQL Server2008. You work as the technical support. Now you are in charge of an instance of a SQL Server 2008 server. You use the server to execute SQL Server 2008 Integration Services (SSIS) packages. Now you get an from your company CIO, according to the requirement of the CIO, the server must only execute only correctly signed packages. The company CIO assigns this task to you. So what should you do to achieve this goal? A. On all packages, the package protection level should be set to DontSaveSensitive B. On all packages, the package protection level should be set to EncryptSensitiveWithPassword C. You should set the BlockedSignatureStates registry entry to Block invalid and untrusted signatures and unsigned packages D. Tthe BlockedSignatureStates registry entry should be set to NoAdministrativeRestriction Correct Answer: C Section: (none) Signing Packages with Certificates A SQL Server 2005 Integration Services (SSIS) package can be signed with a certificate and configured to require the runtime to check the signature before loading the package. The properties of the package, CheckSignatureOnLoad and CertificateObject, indicate whether a certificate must be checked, and specify the certificate that was used to sign the package. The certificate used to sign the package must be enabled for code signing. Integration Services provides a registry value that you can use to manage an organization's policy for loading signed and unsigned packages. The registry value can also manage untrusted signatures of signed packages. With regard to the status of signatures used to sign packages, the BlockedSignatureStates registry value uses the following definitions: A valid signature is one that can be read successfully. An invalid signature is one for which the decrypted checksum (the one-way hash of the package code encrypted by a private key) does not match the decrypted checksum that is calculated as part of the process of loading Integration Services packages. A trusted signature is one that is created by using a digital certificate signed by a Trusted Root Certification Authority. This setting does not require the signer to be found in the user's list of Trusted Publishers. An untrusted signature is one that cannot be verified as issued by a Trusted Root Certification Authority, or a signature that is not current. To use the registry value to prevent packages from loading if the packages are unsigned, or have invalid or untrusted signatures, you must add the

At the Sequence Container scope the variable should be created D. At the Execute SQL Task scope, the variable should be created

250 Correct Answer: C Section: (none) QUESTION 252 You are a database developer and you have about two years experience in creating business Intelligence (BI) by using SQL Server2008. Now you are employed in a company named NaproStar which uses SQL Server2008. You work as the technical support. According to the requirement of the company CIO, you design a SQL Server 2008 Integration Services (SSIS) data flow. The data flow inserts data from a source query to a destination table. But now you must make sure that only those rows that do not already exist in the destination table are inserted. So what should you do to accomplish this task? (choose more than one) A. In order to accomplish this task, you can use the Fuzzy Lookup transformation B. In order to accomplish this task, you can use the Fuzzy Grouping transformation C. In order to accomplish this task, you can use the Merge transformation D. In order to accomplish this task, you can use the Lookup transformation E. In order to accomplish this task, you can use the Union All transformation F. In order to accomplish this task, you can use the Merge Join transformation Correct Answer: DF Section: (none) Lookup Transformation The Lookup transformation performs lookups by joining data in input columns with columns in a reference dataset. You use the lookup to access additional information in a related table that is based on values in common columns. The reference dataset can be a cache file, an existing table or view, a new table, or the result of an SQL query. The Lookup transformation uses either an OLE DB connection manager or a Cache connection manager to connect to the reference dataset. For more information, see OLE DB Connection Manager and Cache Connection Manager Integration Services and SQL Server differ in the way they compare strings. If the Lookup transformation is configured to load the reference dataset into cache before the Lookup transformation runs, Integration Services does the lookup comparison in the cache. Otherwise, the lookup operation uses a parameterized SQL

251 statement and SQL Server does the lookup comparison. This means that the Lookup transformation might return a different number of matches from the same lookup table depending on the cache type. Merge Join Transformation The Merge Join transformation provides an output that is generated by joining two sorted datasets using a FULL, LEFT, or INNER join. For example, you can use a LEFT join to join a table that includes product information with a table that lists the country/region in which a product was manufactured. The result is a table that lists all products and their country/region of origin. For more information, see Using Joins. You can configure the Merge Join transformation in the following ways: * Specify the join is a FULL, LEFT, or INNER join. * Specify the columns the join uses. * Specify whether the transformation handles null values as equal to other nulls. Note: If null values are not treated as equal values, the transformation handles null values like the SQL Server Database Engine does. This transformation has two inputs and one output. It does not support an error output. Input Requirements The Merge Join Transformation requires sorted data for its inputs. For more information about this important requirement, see How to: Sort Data for the Merge and Merge Join Transformations. Join Requirements The Merge Join transformation requires that the joined columns have matching metadata. For example, you cannot join a column that has a numeric data type with a column that has a character data type. If the data has a string data type, the length of the column in the second input must be less than or equal to the length of the column in the first input with which it is merged.
