Background
You are the business intelligence (BI) solutions architect for Tailspin Toys.
You produce solutions by using SQL Server 2012 Business Intelligence edition and Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010 Service Pack 1 (SP1) Enterprise edition.
Technical Background Data Warehouse
The data warehouse is deployed on a SQL Server 2012 relational database. A subset of the data warehouse schema is shown in the exhibit. (Click the Exhibit button.)
The schema shown does not include the table design for the product dimension.
The schema includes the following tables:
FactSalesPlan table stores data at month-level granularity. There are two scenarios: Forecast and Budget.
The DimDate table stores a record for each date from the beginning of the company’s operations through to the end of the next year.
The DimRegion table stores a record for each sales region, classified by country. Sales regions do not relocate to different countries.
The DimCustomer table stores a record for each customer.
The DimSalesperson table stores a record for each salesperson. If a salesperson relocates to a different region, a new salesperson record is created to
support historically accurate reporting. A new salesperson record is not created if a salesperson’s name changes.
The DimScenario table stores one record for each of the two planning scenarios.
All relationships between tables are enforced by foreign keys. The schema design is as denormalized as possible for simplicity and accessibility. One exception to this is the DimRegion table, which is referenced by two dimension tables.
Each product is classified by a category and subcategory and is uniquely identified in the source database by using its stock-keeping unit (SKU). A new SKU is assigned to a product if its size changes. Products are never assigned to a different subcategory, and subcategories are never assigned to a different category.
Extract, transform, load (ETL) processes populate the data warehouse every 24 hours.
ETL Processes
One SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) package is designed and developed to populate each data warehouse table. The primary source of data is extracted from a SQL Azure database. Secondary data sources include a Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 on-premises database. ETL developers develop packages by using the SSIS project deployment model. The ETL developers are responsible for testing the packages and producing a deployment file. The deployment file is given to the ETL administrators. The ETL administrators belong to a Windows security group named SSISOwners that maps to a SQL Server login named SSISOwners.
Data Models
The IT department has developed and manages two SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) BI Semantic Model (BISM) projects: Sales Reporting and Sales Analysis. The Sales Reporting database has been developed as a tabular project. The Sales Analysis database has been developed as a multidimensional project. Business analysts use PowerPivot for Microsoft Excel to produce self-managed data models based directly on the data warehouse or the corporate data models, and publish the PowerPivot workbooks to a SharePoint site.
The sole purpose of the Sales Reporting database is to support business user reporting and ad-hoc analysis by using Power View. The database is configured for DirectQuery mode and all model queries result in SSAS querying the data warehouse. The database is based on the entire data warehouse.
The Sales Analysis database consists of a single SSAS cube named Sales. The Sales cube has been developed to support sales monitoring, analysts, and planning. The Sales cube metadata is shown in the following graphic.
Details of specific Sales cube dimensions are described in the following table.
The Sales cube dimension usage is shown in the following graphic.
The Sales measure group is based on the FactSales table. The Sales Plan measure group is based on the FactSalesPlan table. The Sales Plan measure group has been configured with a multidimensional OLAP (MOLAP) writeback partition. Both measure groups use MOLAP partitions, and aggregation designs are assigned to all partitions. Because the volumes of data in the data warehouse are large, an incremental processing strategy has been implemented.
The Sales Variance calculated member is computed by subtracting the Sales Plan forecast amount from Sales. The Sales Variance °/o calculated member is computed by dividing Sales Variance by Sales. The cube’s Multidimensional Expressions (MDX) script does not set any color properties.
Analysis and Reporting
SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) has been configured in SharePoint integrated mode. A business analyst has created a PowerPivot workbook named Manufacturing Performance that integrates data from the data warehouse and manufacturing data from an operational database hosted in SQL Azure. The workbook has been published in a PowerPivot Gallery library in SharePoint Server and does not contain any reports. The analyst has scheduled daily data refresh from the SQL Azure database. Several SSRS reports are based on the PowerPivot workbook, and all reports are configured with a report execution mode to run on demand.
Recently users have noticed that data in the PowerPivot workbooks published to SharePoint Server is not being refreshed. The SharePoint administrator has identified that the Secure Store Service target application used by the PowerPivot unattended data refresh account has been deleted.
Business Requirements ETL Processes
All ETL administrators must have full privileges to administer and monitor the SSIS catalog, and to import and manage projects.
Data Models
The budget and forecast values must never be accumulated when querying the Sales cube. Queries should return the forecast sales values by default.
Business users have requested that a single field named SalespersonName be made available to report the full name of the salesperson in the Sales Reporting
data model.
Writeback is used to initialize the budget sales values for a future year and is based on a weighted allocation of the sales achieved in the previous year.
Analysis and Reporting
Reports based on the Manufacturing Performance PowerPivot workbook must deliver data that is no more than one hour old.
Management has requested a new report named Regional Sales. This report must be based on the Sales cube and must allow users to filter by a specific year and present a grid with every region on the columns and the Products hierarchy on the rows. The hierarchy must initially be collapsed and allow the user to drill down through the hierarchy to analyze sales. Additionally, sales values that are less than S5000 must be highlighted in red.
Technical RequirementsData Warehouse
Business logic in the form of calculations should be defined in the data warehouse to ensure consistency and availability to all data modeling experiences.
The schema design should remain as denormalized as possible and should not include unnecessary columns.
The schema design must be extended to include the product dimension data.
ETL Processes
Package executions must log only data flow component phases and errors.
Data Models
Processing time for all data models must be minimized.
A key performance indicator (KPI) must be added to the Sales cube to monitor sales performance. The KPI trend must use the Standard Arrow indicator to display improving, static, or deteriorating Sales Variance % values compared to the previous time period.
Analysis and Reporting
IT developers must create a library of SSRS reports based on the Sales Reporting database. A shared SSRS data source named Sales Reporting must be created in a SharePoint data connections library.

QUESTION 7
You need to select an appropriate tool for creating the Regional Sales report.
Which tool or tools should you use? (Each correct answer presents a complete solution. Choose all that apply.)
A. Excel 2010, using the CUBE functions
B. Power View, using a Matrix
C. Excel 2010, using a PivotTable
D. Report Builder, using a Matrix
Correct Answer: BCD Explanation
Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
B: Working with a matrix in Power View
A matrix is a type of visualization that is similar to a table in that it is made up of rows and columns. However, a matrix can be collapsed and expanded by rows
and/or columns. If it contains a hierarchy, you can drill down/drill up.
C: Using an Excel Pivot Table, connecting to the Cube, will give you the option to drill down the cube. Using conditional formatting you can highlight specific value
ranges.
D: Matrices provide functionality similar to crosstabs and pivot tables. At run time, as the report data and data regions are combined, a matrix grows horizontally
and vertically on the page. Values in matrix cells display aggregate values scoped to the intersection of the row and column groups to which the cell belongs. You
can format the rows and columns to highlight the data you want to emphasize. You can also include drilldown toggles that initially hide detail data; the user can
then click the toggles to display more or less detail as needed.
* From scenario:
Management has requested a new report named Regional Sales. This report must be based on the Sales cube and must allow users to filter by a specific year
and present a grid with every region on the columns and the Products hierarchy on the rows. The hierarchy must initially be collapsed and allow the user to drill
down through the hierarchy to analyze sales. Additionally, sales values that are less than $5000 must be highlighted in red.

Testlet 1 Contoso, Ltd Case A
Background
General Background
You are the SQL Server Administrator for Contoso, Ltd. You have been tasked with upgrading all existing SQL Server instances to SQL Server 2012.
Technical Background
The corporate environment includes an Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) domain named contoso.com. The forest and domain levels are set to Windows Server 2008. All default containers are used for computer and user accounts. All servers run Windows Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1 (SP1). All client computers run Windows 7 Professional SP1. All servers and client computers are members of the contoso.com domain.
The current SQL Server environment consists of a single instance failover cluster of SQL Server 2008 R2 Analysis Services (SSAS). The virtual server name of the cluster is SSASCluster. The cluster includes two nodes: Node1 and Node2. Node1 is currently the active node. In anticipation of the upgrade, the prerequisites and shared components have been upgraded on both nodes of the cluster, and each node was rebooted during a weekly maintenance window.
A single-server deployment of SQL Server 2008 R2 Reporting Services (SSRS) in native mode is installed on a server named SSRS01. The Reporting Server service is configured to use a domain service account. SSRS01 hosts reports that access the SSAS databases for sales data as well as modeling data for the Research team. SSRS01 contains 94 reports used by the organization. These reports are generated continually during business hours. Users report that report subscriptions on SSRS01 are not being delivered. You run the reports on demand from Report Manager and find that the reports render as expected.
A new server named SSRS02 has been joined to the domain, SSRS02 will host a single-server deployment of SSRS so that snapshots of critical reports are accessible during the upgrade. The server configuration is shown in the exhibit. (Click the Exhibit button.)
The production system includes three SSAS databases that are described in the following table.
All SSAS databases are backed up once a day, and backups are stored offsite.
Business Requirements
After the upgrade users must be able to perform the following tasks:
Ad-hoc analysis of data in the SSAS databases by using the Microsoft Excel PivotTable client.
Daily operational analysis by executing a custom application that uses ADOMD.NET and existing Multidimensional Expressions (MDX) queries.
The detailed data must be stored in the model.
Technical Requirements
You need to minimize downtime during the SSASCluster upgrade. The upgrade must minimize user intervention and administrative effort.
The upgrade to SQL Server 2012 must maximize the use of all existing servers, require the least amount of administrative effort, and ensure that the SSAS databases are operational as soon as possible.
You must implement the highest level of domain security for client computers connecting to SSRS01. The SSRS instance on SSRS01 must use Kerberos delegation to connect to the SSAS databases. Email notification for SSRS01 has not been previously configured. Email notification must be configured to use the SMTP server SMTP01 with a From address of [email protected]. Report distribution must be secured by using SSL and must be limited to the contoso.com domain.
You have the following requirements for SSRS02:
Replicate the SSRS01 configuration.
Ensure that all current reports are available on SSRS02.
Minimize the performance impact on SSR501.
In preparation for the upgrade, the SSRS-related components have been installed on the new SSRS02 server by using the Reporting Services file-only installation mode. The Reporting Services databases have been restored from SSRS01 and configured appropriately.
You must design a strategy to recover the SSRS instance on SSRS01 in the event of a system failure. The strategy must ensure that SSRS can be recovered in the minimal amount of time and that reports are available as soon as possible. Only functional components must be recovered.
SSRS02 is the recovery server and is running the same version of SSRS as SSRS01. A full backup of the SSRS databases on SSRS01 is performed nightly. The report server configuration files, custom assemblies, and extensions on SSRS02 are manually synchronized with SSRS01. Prior to implementing the upgrade to SQL Server 2012, you must back up all existing SSAS databases.
Databases on SSRS01 is performed nightly. The report server configuration files, custom assemblies, and extensions on SSRS02 are manually synchronized with SSRS01.
Prior to implementing the upgrade to SQL Server 2012, you must back up all existing SSAS databases. The backup must include only the partitioning, metadata, and aggregations to minimize the processing time required when restoring the databases. You must minimize processing time and the amount of disk space used by the backups.
Before upgrading SSAS on the SSASCluster, all existing databases must be moved to a temporary staging server named SSAS01 that hosts a default instance of SQL Server 2012 Analysis Services. This server will be used for testing client applications connecting to SSAS 2012, and as a disaster recovery platform during the upgrade. You must move the databases by using the least amount of administrative effort and minimize downtime. All SSAS databases other than the Research database must be converted to tabular BI Semantic Models (BISMs) as part of the upgrade to SSAS 2012. The Research team must have access to the Research database for modeling throughout the upgrade. To facilitate this, you detach the Research database and attach it to SSAS01.
While testing the Research database on SSAS01, you increase the compatibility level to 1100. You then discover a compatibility issue with the application. You must roll back the compatibility level of the database to 1050 and retest.
After completing the upgrade, you must do the following:
1.
Design a role and assign an MDX expression to the Allowed member set property of the Customer dimension to allow sales representatives to browse only members of the Customer dimension that are located in their sales regions. Use the sales representatives’ logins and minimize impact on performance.
2.
Deploy a data model to allow the ad-hoc analysis of data. The data model must be cached and source data from an OData feed.
QUESTION 1
You need to configure security for the SSRS instance on SSRS01 to connect to SSAS and minimize downtime.
What should you do? (Each correct answer presents part of the solution. Choose all that apply.)
A. Register a service principal name for the Report Server service.
B. Register a service principal name for the Analysis Services service.
C. Restart the IIS service.
D. Configure SSRS01 to use the Negotiate authentication type.
E. Configure SSRS01 to use the Custom authentication type.
Correct Answer: AD Explanation
Explanation/Reference:
A (not B): If you are deploying Reporting Services in a network that uses the Kerberos protocol for mutual authentication, you must create a Service Principal Name (SPN) for the Report Server service if you configure it to run as a domain user account.
D (not E):
* See step 6 below.
To register an SPN for a Report Server service running as a domain user
1.
Install Reporting Services and configure the Report Server service to run as a domain user account. Note that users will not be able to connect to the report server until you complete the following steps.
2.
Log on to the domain controller as domain administrator.
3.
Open a Command Prompt window.
4.
Copy the following command, replacing placeholder values with actual values that are valid for your network:
5.
Setspn -a http/<computer-name>.<domain-name>:<port><domain-user-account>
6.
Run the command.
7.
Open the RsReportServer.config file and locate the <AuthenticationTypes> section. Add <RSWindowsNegotiate/> as the first entry in this section to enable NTLM.
* RSWindowsNegotiate. If you initially set the Windows service account for the report server to NetworkService or LocalSystem in Reporting Services Configuration Manager, RSWindowsNegotiate is added to the RSReportServer.config file as the default setting. With this setting, the report server can accept requests from client applications requesting Kerberos or NTLM authentication. If Kerberos is requested and the authentication fails, the report server switches to NTLM authentication and prompts the user for credentials unless the network is configured to manage authentication transparently.
Using RSWindowsNegotiate is your best option because it provides the greatest flexibility for multiple clients in an intranet environment.
Not C: IIS is not mention in this scenario.
Note:
* From scenario:
/ A single-server deployment of SQL Server 2008 R2 Reporting Services (SSRS) in native mode is installed on a server named SSRS01. The Reporting Server
service is configured to use a domain service account.

QUESTION 3
You need to implement the Customer Sales and Manufacturing data models.
What should you do? (Each correct answer presents a partial solution. Choose all that apply.)
A. Use the Database Synchronization Wizard to upgrade the database to tabular mode.
B. Use SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) to copy the database design to the SSAS instance, and specify tabular mode as the destination.
C. Use SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT) to redevelop and deploy the projects.
D. Use the current SSAS instance.
E. Install a new instance of SSAS in tabular mode.
Correct Answer: CE Explanation
Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
C: Tabular models are authored in SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT) using new tabular model project templates. You can import data from multiple sources, and
then enrich the model by adding relationships, calculated columns, measures, KPIs, and hierarchies. Models can then be deployed to an instance of Analysis
Services where client reporting applications can connect to them. Deployed models can be managed in SQL Server Management Studio just like multidimensional
models. They can also be partitioned for optimized processing and secured to the row-level by using role based security.
E: If you are installing Analysis Services to use the new tabular modeling features, you must install Analysis Services in a server mode that supports that type of
model. The server mode is Tabular, and it is configured during installation.
After you install the server in this mode, you can use it host solutions that you build in tabular model designer. A tabular mode server is required if you want tabular
model data access over the network.
*
From scenario:
/ Deploy a data model to allow the ad-hoc analysis of data. The data model must be cached and source data from an OData feed.
/ All SSAS databases other than the Research database must be converted to tabular BI Semantic Models (BISMs) as part of the upgrade to SSAS 2012. The
Research team must have access to the Research database for modeling throughout the upgrade. To facilitate this, you detach the Research database and attach
it to SSAS01.
*
The Business Intelligence Semantic Model (BISM) is a single unified BI platform which has both multi-dimensional as well as tabular data modeling capabilities to
offer best of both worlds and choice for the developer.

QUESTION 6
You need to develop a BISM that meets the business requirements for ad-hoc and daily operational analysis. You must minimize development effort.
Which development approach and mode should you use?
A. Develop a tabular project and configure the model with the DirectQuery mode setting on and the project query mode set to DirectQuery.
B. Develop a tabular project and configure the model with the DirectQuery mode setting on and the project query mode set to In-Memory with DirectQuery.
C. Develop a multidimensional project and configure the model with the DirectQuery mode setting off.
D. Develop a multidimensional project and configure the cube to use hybrid OLAP (HOLAP) storage mode.
Correct Answer: C Explanation
Explanation/Reference:
/ After the upgrade users must be able to perform the following tasks:
/ Ad-hoc analysis of data in the SSAS databases by using the Microsoft Excel PivotTable client (which uses MDX).
/ Daily operational analysis by executing a custom application that uses ADOMD.NET and existing Multidimensional Expressions (MDX) queries.
/ Deploy a data model to allow the ad-hoc analysis of data. The data model must be cached and source data from an OData feed.
We cannot use DirectQuery mode so C is the only answer that will provide the required caching.
When a model is in DirectQuery mode, it can only be queried by using DAX. You cannot use MDX to create queries. This means that you cannot use the Excel
Pivot Client, because Excel uses MDX.
QUESTION 7
You need to use SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) to make the SSAS databases available for application testing.
What should you do?
A. Restore the SSAS databases from the latest backup to SSAS01.
B. Script the databases as a Create script to a new window and then execute the script on SSAS01.
C. Detach the SSAS databases from the SSASCluster, and then attach them to SSAS01.

What should you do? (Each correct answer presents a partial solution. Choose all that apply.)
A. Change the encryption key.
B. Specify the execution account.
C. Join the scale-out deployment.
D. Set the Report Server Web Service URL.
E. Set the Report Manager URL.
F. Delete the encryption key.
Correct Answer: ABE Explanation
Explanation/Reference:
A: We need to restore a copy of the encryption key from SSRS01. This step is necessary for enabling reversible encryption on pre-existing connection strings and
credentials that are already in the report server database.
B: Reporting Services provides a special account that is used for unattended report processing and for sending connection requests across the network. The
account is used in the following ways:
/ Send connection requests over the network for reports that use database authentication, or connect to external report data sources that do not require or use
authentication. / Retrieve external image files that are used in report. If you want to use an image file and the file cannot be accessed through Anonymous access,
you can configure the unattended report processing account and grant the account permission to access the file.
E: Example:
1.First of all open Internet Explorer and go to Report Manager URL which is something like below:
http://string-pc/Reports2012
2.
Click on your SSRS project. So now it will show you the list of reports which are deployed on your report server.
3.
Now click on down arrow on the report which you want to subscribe and selectManage. Etc.
* From Scenario:
/ A new server named SSRS02 has been joined to the domain, SSRS02 will host a single-server deployment of SSRS so that snapshots of critical reports are
accessible during the upgrade.
/ You have the following requirements for SSRS02:
Replicate the SSRS01 configuration.
Ensure that all current reports are available on SSRS02.
Minimize the performance impact on SSRS01.
/ In preparation for the upgrade, the SSRS-related components have been installed on the new SSRS02 server by using the Reporting Services file-only
installation mode. The Reporting Services databases have been restored from SSRS01 and configured appropriately.
/ SSRS02 is the recovery server and is running the same version of SSRS as SSRS01. The report server configuration files, custom assemblies, and extensions
on SSRS02 are manually synchronized with SSRS01.

QUESTION 13
You need to upgrade the SSASCluster.
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.)
Select and Place: Correct Answer:
Explanation
Explanation/Reference:
Note:
*
From scenario:
/ The current SQL Server environment consists of a single instance failover cluster of SQL Server 2008 R2 Analysis Services (SSAS). The virtual server name of
the cluster is SSASCluster. The cluster includes two nodes: Node1 and Node2. Node1 is currently the active node. In anticipation of the upgrade, the prerequisites
and shared components have been upgraded on both nodes of the cluster, and each node was rebooted during a weekly maintenance window.
The upgrade must minimize user intervention and administrative effort. So we’ll upgrade using the scripted method rather than the GUI method.
*
(box 1)
/ SQL Server Setup provides the ability to generate a configuration file based upon the system default and run-time inputs. You can use the configuration file to
deploy SQL Server throughout the enterprise with the same configuration. You can also standardize manual installations throughout the enterprise, by creating a
batch file that launches Setup.exe.
/ How to generate a configuration file
Insert the SQL Server installation media. From the root folder, double-click Setup.exe. To install from a network share, locate the root folder on the share, and then
double-click Setup.exe. Follow the wizard through to the Ready to Install page. The path to the configuration file is specified in the Ready to Install page in the
configuration file path section. For more information about how to install SQL Server, see Install SQL Server 2012 from the Installation Wizard (Setup).
Cancel the setup without actually completing the installation, to generate the INI file.
*
(box 2) First upgrade the passive node node2.
To be able to use the configuration file we use the command prompt. After the upgrade, the cluster will fail over to the upgraded node.
*( Box 3) upgrade Node1 (which is now the passive node) .
*
You can upgrade a SQL Server failover cluster to a SQL Server 2008 failover cluster by using the SQL Server Installation Wizard or a command prompt. One of
the main features of SQL Server 2008 failover clustering is minimal downtime for rolling upgrades and updates.
*
To control the failover behavior of cluster nodes during the upgrade process, run the upgrade operation at the command prompt and use the /
FAILOVERCLUSTERROLLOWNERSHIP parameter.
*
To upgrade a SQL Server failover cluster to SQL Server 2008 R2, you must run the Setup on one failover cluster node at a time, starting with the passive nodes.
Setup determines when to fail over to the upgraded node, depending on the total number of nodes in the failover cluster instance, and the number of nodes that
have already been upgraded. When half of the nodes or more have already been upgraded, Setup by default will cause a failover to an upgraded node. To control
the failover behavior of cluster nodes during the upgrade process, run the upgrade operation at the command prompt and use the /
FAILOVERCLUSTERROLLOWNERSHIP parameter to control the failover behavior before the upgrade operation takes the node offline.
Use of this parameter is as follows:
/FAILOVERCLUSTERROLLOWNERSHIP=0 will not roll cluster ownership (move group) to upgraded nodes, and does not add this node to the list of possible
owners of the SQL Server cluster at the end of upgrade.
/FAILOVERCLUSTERROLLOWNERSHIP=1 will roll cluster ownership (move group) to upgraded nodes, and will add this node to the list of possible owners of the
SQL Server cluster at the end of upgrade.
/FAILOVERCLUSTERROLLOWNERSHIP=2 is the default setting. It will be used if this parameter is not specified. This setting indicates that SQL Server Setup will
manage cluster ownership (move group) as needed.

Data Architect
General Background
You are a Data Architect for a company that uses SQL Server 2012 Enterprise edition.
You have been tasked with designing a data warehouse that uses the company’s financial database as the data source. From the data warehouse, you will develop a cube to simplify the creation of accurate financial reports and related data analysis.
Background
You will utilize the following three servers:
ServerA runs SQL Server Database Engine. ServerA is a production server and also hosts the financial database.
ServerB runs SQL Server Database Engine, SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) in multidimensional mode, SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS), and SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS).
ServerC runs SSAS in multidimensional mode.
The financial database is used by a third-party application and the table structures cannot be modified.
The relevant tables in the financial database are shown in the exhibit. (Click the Exhibit button.)
The SalesTransactions table is 500 GB and is anticipated to grow to 2 TB. The table is partitioned by month. It contains only the last five years of financial data. The CouponUsed, OnSale, and Closeout columns contain only the values Yes or No. Each of the other tables is less than 10 MB and has only one partition.
The SecurityFilter table specifies the sites to which each user has access.
Business Requirements
The extract, transform, load (ETL) process that updates the data warehouse must run daily between 8:00 P.M. and 5:00 A.M. so that it doesn’t impact the performance of ServerA during business hours. The cube data must be available by 8:00 A.M.
The cube must meet the following business requirements:
Ensure that reports display the most current information available.
Allow fast access to support ad-hoc reports and data analysis.
Business Analysts will access the data warehouse tables directly, and will access the cube by using SSRS, Microsoft Excel, and Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010 PerformancePoint Services. These tools will access only the cube and not the data warehouse.
Technical Requirements
SSIS solutions must be deployed by using the project deployment model. You must develop the data warehouse and store the cube on ServerB. When the number of concurrent SSAS users on ServerB reaches a specific number, you must scale out SSAS to ServerC and meet following requirements:
Maintain copies of the cube on ServerB and ServerC.
Ensure that the cube is always available on both servers.
Minimize query response time.
The cube must meet the following technical requirements:
The cube must be processed by using an SSIS package.
The cube must contain the prior day’s data up to 8:00 P.M. but does not need to contain same-day data.
The cube must include aggregation designs when it is initially deployed.
A product dimension must be added to the cube. It will contain a hierarchy comprised of product name and product color.
Because of the large size of the SalesTransactions table, the cube must store only aggregations– the data warehouse must store the detailed data. Both the data warehouse and the cube must minimize disk space usage.
As the cube size increases, you must plan to scale out to additional servers to minimize processing time.
The data warehouse must use a star schema design. The table design must be as denormalized as possible. The history of changes to the Customer table must be tracked in the data warehouse. The cube must use the data warehouse as its only data source.
Security settings on the data warehouse and the cube must ensure that queries against the SalesTransactions table return only records from the sites to which the current user has access.
The ETL process must consist of multiple SSIS packages developed in a single project by using the least amount of effort. The SSIS packages must use a database connection string that is set at execution time to connect to the financial database. All data in the data warehouse must be loaded by the SSIS packages.
You must create a Package Activity report that meets the following requirements:
Track SSIS package execution data (including package name, status, start time, end time, duration, and rows processed).
Use the least amount of development effort.

WingTip Toys
General Background
You are a data architect for WingTip Toys. The company uses SQL Server 2012 Enterprise edition. SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) and SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) are installed on separate servers.
Data Warehouse
The company’s data warehouse initially contained less than 100 MB and 100 million rows of data from only one data source. It now contains more than 10 TB and 10 billion rows of data, in 25 tables, from 12 data sources.
The largest table in the data warehouse, the factOrders table, contains 5 TB of data. The factOrders table contains three date keys: OrderDateKey InvoiceDateKey, and ShipDateKey. The data warehouse server has 1 TB of RAM. Memory usage is currently at 20 percent.
One billion rows of data are added to the data warehouse each month. New data is copied each night from the data sources into SQL Server staging tables, and existing records are not updated. The largest data set is order information, which is loaded in parallel into multiple staging tables, one for each data source. All the staging tables have the same structure and belong to the same filegroup as the factOrders table.
The dimCustomers table stores customer information that may change over time.
Data Models
You are developing three SSAS databases, as described in the following table.
Reporting
Business users frequently generate reports in Microsoft Excel by using PowerPivot. The PowerPivot Management Dashboard does not currently display any usage data.
Several SSRS reports exist that use the data warehouse as a source. The data warehouse queries are aggregate queries that use the factOrders table and one or more dimension tables. All SSRS data sources use Integrated Windows authentication.
SSRS displays a security access error message when managers run SSRS reports based on the Operations database.
Reporting performance has become unacceptably slow.
Business Requirements
Improve the query speed of the SSRS reports.
Allow business users to create reports by using PowerPivot and Power View. Ensure that all users other than business users can view metadata for the
Customers dimension. Ensure that business users cannot view metadata for the Customers dimension.
Technical Requirements
Modify the tables in the data warehouse to minimize aggregate query processing time.
Minimize disk storage in the data warehouse.
Ensure that all multidimensional models process data as quickly as possible. Create a fact table named factCustomerContact in the data warehouse to store the
contact date, customer key, and communication type for each instance of customer contact.
Store the history of customer information changes in the dimCustomers table.
Move data from the staging tables into the factOrders table as quickly as possible. When creating dimensions for the date keys in the factOrders table, minimize
storage space requirements and optimize the cube processing time.
Ensure that queries against the Sales database return the most current data in the data warehouse. Ensure that the SSAS model of the Finance database does
not page to disk or return a memory error as the size of the database grows.
Create an SSAS monitoring solution that tracks the following data:
Queries answered per second
Queries from cache direct per second
Queries from file per second.

Contoso, Ltd Case B
General Background
You are the business intelligence (BI) solutions architect for Contoso, Ltd, an online retailer.
You produce solutions by using SQL Server 2012 Business Intelligence edition and Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010 Service Pack 1 (SP1) Enterprise edition.
A SharePoint farm has been installed and configured for intranet access only. An Internet-facing web server hosts the company’s public e-commerce website.
Anonymous access is not configured on the Internet-facing web server.
Data Warehouse
The data warehouse is deployed on a 5QL Server 2012 relational database instance. The data warehouse is structured as shown in the following diagram.
The following Transact-SQL (T-SQL) script is used to create the FactSales and FactPopulation tables:
The FactPopulation table is loaded each year with data from a Windows Azure Marketplace commercial dataset. The table contains a snapshot of the population values for all countries of the world for each year. The world population for the last year loaded exceeds 6.8 billion people.
ETL Process
SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) is used to load data into the data warehouse. All SSIS projects are developed by using the project deployment model.
A package named StageFactSales loads data into a data warehouse staging table. The package sources its data from numerous CSV files exported from a mainframe system. The CSV file names begin with the letters GLSD followed by a unique numeric identifier that never exceeds six digits. The data content of each CSV file is identically formatted.
A package named LoadFactFreightCosts sources data from a Windows Azure SQL Database database that has data integrity problems. The package may retrieve duplicate rows from the database.
The package variables of all packages have the RaiseChangedEvent property set to true. A package-level event handler for the OnVariableValueChanged event consists of an Execute SQL task that logs the System::VariableName and System::VariableValue variables.
Data Models
SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) is used to host the Corporate BI multidimensional database. The Corporate BI database contains a single data source view named Data Warehouse. The Data Warehouse data source view consists of all data warehouse tables. All data source view tables have been converted to named queries.
The Corporate BI database contains a single cube named Sales Analysis and three database dimensions: Date, Customer and Product. The dimension usage for the Sales Analysis cube is as shown in the following image.
The Customer dimension contains a single multi-level hierarchy named Geography. The structure of the Geography hierarchy is shown in the following image.
The Sales Analysis cube’s calculation script defines one calculated measure named Sales Per Capita. The calculated measure expression divides the Revenue measure by the Population measure and multiplies the result by 1,000. This calculation represents revenue per 1,000 people.
The Sales Analysis cube produces correct Sales Per Capita results for each country of the world; however, the Grand Total for all countries is incorrect, as shown in the following image (rows 2- 239 have been hidden).
A role named Analysts grants Read permission for the Sales Analysis cube to all sales and marketing analysts in the company.
SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) is configured in SharePoint integrated mode. All reports are based on shared data sources.
Corporate logo images used in reports were originally configured as data-bound images sourced from a SQL Server relational database table. The image data has been exported to JPG files. The image files are hosted on the Internet-facing web server. All reports have been modified to reference the corporate logo images by using the fully qualified URLs of the image files. A red X currently appears in place of the corporate logo in reports. Users configure data alerts on certain reports. Users can view a report named Sales Profitability on demand; however, notification email messages are no longer being sent when Sales Profitability report data satisfies alert definition rules. The alert schedule settings for the Sales Profitability report are configured as shown in the following image.
Business Requirements
Data Models
Users must be able to:
Provide context to measures and filter measures by using all related data warehouse dimensions.
Analyze measures by order date or ship date.
Additionally, users must be able to add a measure named Sales to the report canvas by clicking only once in the Power View field list. The Sales measure must allow users to analyze the sum of the values in the Revenue column of the FactSales data warehouse table. Users must be able to change the aggregation function of the Sales measure.
Analysis and Reporting
A sales manager has requested the following query results from the Sales Analysis cube for the 2012 fiscal year:
Australian postal codes and sales in descending order of sales.
Australian states and the ratio of sales achieved by the 10 highest customer sales made for each city in that state.
Technical Requirements
ETL Processes
If an SSIS package variable value changes, the package must log the variable name and the new variable value to a custom log table.
The StageFactSales package must load the contents of all files that match the file name pattern. The source file name must also be stored in a column of the data
warehouse staging table. In the design of the LoadFactSales package, if a lookup of the dimension surrogate key value for the product code fails, the row details
must be emailed to the data steward and written as an error message to the SSIS catalog log by using the public API.
You must configure the LoadFactFreightCosts package to remove duplicate rows, by using the least development effort.
Data Models
Users of the Sales Analysis cube frequently filter on the current month’s data. You must ensure that queries to the Sales Analysis cube default to the current month in the Order Date dimension for all users.
You must develop and deploy a tabular project for the exclusive use as a Power View reporting data source. The model must be based on the data warehouse. Model table names must exclude the Dim or Fact prefixes. All measures in the model must format values to display zero decimal places.
Analysis and Reporting
Reports must be developed that combine the SSIS catalog log messages with the package variable value changes.
