NEW QUESTION 1
HOTSPOT
You have a Microsoft SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) multidimensional project. You are developing a dimension that uses data from the following table:

The ManagerKey column defines a foreign key constraint that references the EmployeeKey column. The table stores employee history information by using slowly changing dimensions (SCD). Changes to EmployeeName, Phone, or ManagerKey are managed as SCD Type 1 changes. Changes to SalesRegion are managed as SCD Type 2 changes.
You create the following attributes, and set the KeyColumns and NameColumn properties to the columns listed in the table below:

You need to add a parent-child hierarchy to the dimension to enable navigating the organization hierarchy.
In the table below, identify the attribute that you must use for each attribute usage type. NOTE: Make only one selection in each column.

• A. Mastered
• B. Not Mastered

Answer: A

Explanation:
The ManagerKey column, the Manager attribute, defines a foreign key constraint that references the EmployeeKey column, the Employee attribute.

A database named DB2 uses the InMemory query mode. Users frequently run the following query:

You need to reconfigure the SSAS instance that hosts DB1.
Which three actions should 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.

• A. Mastered
• B. Not Mastered

Answer: A

Explanation:
Step 1: Set the default mode for the data model to DirectQuery.
You discover that the project has been deployed with the Direct Query Mode option set to OFF.
Step 2: Set the mode for the FactInternetSales table's partition to DirectQueryOnly. Initially, even DirectQuery models are always created in memory. The default query mode for the workspace database is also set toDirectQuery with In-Memory. This hybrid working mode lets you use the cache of imported data for improved performance during the model design process, while validating the model against DirectQuery requirements.
From Scenario: Most queries that use the SalesAnalysis data model use data from a table named FactInternetSales that is 20 gigabyte (GB) in size. Cached data must be available for the FactInternetSales table. All queries accessing the SalesAnalysis model must be executed in near real time.
Step 3: Run Process Full for the FactInternetSales partition.
When Process Full is executed against an object that has already been processed, Analysis Services drops all data in the object, and then processes the object. This kind of processing is required when a structural change has been made to an object, for example, when an attribute hierarchy is added, deleted, or renamed

NEW QUESTION 5

Note: This question is part of a series of questions that present the same scenario. Each question in the series contains a unique solution. Determine whether the solution meets the stated goals.
You deploy a tabular data model to an instance of Microsoft SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS). The model uses an in-memory cache to store and query data. The data set is already the same size as the available RAM on the server. Data volumes are likely to continue to increase rapidly.
Your data model contains multiple calculated tables.
The data model must begin processing each day at 2:00 and processing should be
complete by 4:00 the same day. You observe that the data processing operation often does not complete before 7:00. This is adversely affecting team members.
You need to improve the performance.
Solution: Change the storage mode for the data model to DirectQuery. Does the solution meet the goal?

• A. Yes
• B. No

Answer: A

Explanation:
By default, tabular models use an in-memory cache to store and query data. When tabular models query data residing in-memory, even complex queries can be incredibly fast. However, there are some limitations to using cached data. Namely, large data sets can exceed available memory, and data freshness requirements can be difficult if not impossible to achieve on a regular processing schedule.
DirectQuery overcomes these limitations while also leveraging RDBMS features making query execution more efficient.
With DirectQuery: +
Data is up-to-date, and there is no extra management overhead of having to maintain a separate copy of the data (in the in-memory cache). Changes to the underlying source data can be immediately reflected in queries against the data model.
Datasets can be larger than the memory capacity of an Analysis Services server. Etc.

NEW QUESTION 6

Note: This question is part of a series of questions that present the same scenario. Each question in the series contains a unique solution. Determine whether the solution meets the stated goals.
A company has an e-commerce website. When a customer places an order, information about the transaction is inserted into tables in a Microsoft SQL Server relational database named OLTP1. The company has a SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) instance that is configured to use Tabular mode. SSAS uses data from OLTP1 to populate a data model.
Sales analysts build reports based on the SSAS model. Reports must be able to access data as soon as it is available in the relational database.
You need to configure and deploy an Analysis Services project to the Analysis Services instance that allows near real-time data source access.
Solution: In the Deployment Option property for the report, you set the Query Mode to InMemory.
Does the solution meet the goal?

• A. Yes
• B. No

Answer: B

Explanation:
With InMemory the queries can use the cache only. References:https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh230898(v=sql.120).aspx

NEW QUESTION 10
HOTSPOT
You need to configure the project option settings to minimize deployment time for the CustomerAnalysis data model.
What should you do? To answer, select the appropriate setting from each list in the answer area.

• A. Mastered
• B. Not Mastered

Answer: A

Explanation:
Scenario:
Box 1, Processing option:Default
Process Default detects the process state of database objects, and performs processing necessary to deliver unprocessed or partially processed objects to a fully processed state. If you change a data binding, Process Default will do a Process Full on the affected object.
Note: Processing Method This setting controls whether the deployed objects are processed after deployment and the type of processing that will be performed. There are three processing options:
Default processing (default) Full processing
None
Box 2, Transactional deployment: False
If this option is False, Analysis Services deploys the metadata changes in a single transaction, and deploys each processing command in its own transaction.
Scenario: The CustomerAnalysis data model will contain a large amount of data and needs to be shared with other developers even if a deployment fails. Each time you deploy a change during development, processing takes a long time.

You need to configure the CoffeeSale fact table environment.
Which four actions should you perform in sequence? To answer, move the appropriate actions from the list of actions to the answer area and arrange them in the correct order.
NOTE: More than one order of answer choices is correct. You will receive credit for any of the correct orders you select.

• A. Mastered
• B. Not Mastered

Answer: A

Explanation:
Step 1: Partition the CoffeSale facto table.
Step 2: Set the storage mode for all partitions to HOLAP.
Partitions stored as HOLAP are smaller than the equivalent MOLAP partitions because
they do not contain source data and respond faster than ROLAP partitions for queries involving summary data.
Step 3: Alter the processing job to ensure that it rearranges the partition structure each evening.
Step 4: Test that the cube meets the functional requirement for data currency and query performance.
From scenario:
Data analysts must be able to analyze sales for financial years, financial quarters, months, and days. Many reports are based on analyzing sales by month.
The SalesAnalysis cube contains a fact table named CoffeeSale loaded from a table named FactSale in the data warehouse. The time granularity within the cube is 15 minutes. The cube is processed every night at 23:00. You determine that the fact table cannot be fully processed in the expected time. Users have reported slow query response times.

NEW QUESTION 15

A database named DB2 uses the InMemory query mode. Users frequently run the following query:

You need to ensure no users see the PriorYearSales measure in the field list for the Sales table.
What should you do?

• A. Create a perspective, and ensure that the PriorYearSales measure is not added to the perspectiv
• B. Ensure that users connect to the model by using the perspective.
• C. Set the Display Folder property for PriorYearSales toHidden.
• D. Remove the PriorYearSales measure from the default field set of the Sales table.
• E. Create a role using Read permissions, and define a DAX expression to filter out the PriorYearSales measur
• F. Add all users to the role.

Answer: A

Explanation:
Using perspectives in the data model might help you expose a subset of tables, columns, and measures that are useful for a particular type of analysis.
Usually, every user needs only a subset of data you create, and showing him or her the model through perspectives can offer a better user experience.
From scenario; The PriorYearSales measure is referenced by other measures, and is not intended to be analyzed directly by users.

Each question is independent of the other questions in this series. Information and details provided in a question apply only to that question.
You are developing Microsoft SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) tabular model. The model must meet the following requirements:
You need to configure model. What should you do?

• A. Ensure that DirectQuery is enabled for the model.
• B. Ensure that DirectQuery is disabled for the model.
• C. Ensure that the Transactional Deployment property is set to True.
• D. Ensure that the Transactional Deployment property is set to False.
• E. Process the model in Process Full mode.
• F. Process the model in Process Data mode.
• G. Process the model in Process Defrag mode.

Answer: A

Explanation:
DAX originally emerged from a Power Pivot add-in for Excel, as a formula language extension for creating calculated columns and measures for data analysis (which are also integral elements of one SSAS Tabular model database, too), but when Microsoft added support for DAX queries in SQL Server 2012, BI experts started “daxing” data from Tabular model databases.
That trend continues, because of simplicity and fast query execution (related to DirectQuery mode in SSAS Tabular).

You need to resolve the issues that the users report.
Which processing options should you use? To answer, drag the appropriate processing option to the correct location or locations. Each processing option may be used once, more than once, or not at all. You may need to drag the split bar between panes or scroll to view content.

• A. Mastered
• B. Not Mastered

Answer: A

Explanation:
Box1: Process Full:
When Process Full is executed against an object that has already been processed, Analysis Services drops all data in the object, and then processes the object. This kind of processing is required when a structural change has been made to an object, for example, when an attribute hierarchy is added, deleted, or renamed.
Box 2: Process Default
Detects the process state of database objects, and performs processing necessary to deliver unprocessed or partially processed objects to a fully processed state. If you change a data binding, Process Default will do a Process Full on the affected object.
Box 3:
Not Process Update: Forces a re-read of data and an update of dimension attributes. Flexible aggregations and indexes on related partitions will be dropped.

NEW QUESTION 20

You are administrating a SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) tabular database.
You need to create a new role that allows its members to query data and to refresh data in the model.
Which permission should you use? (More than one answer choice may achieve the goal. Select the BEST answer.)

• A. Browse and Manage
• B. Administrator
• C. Read and Process
• D. Explore and Manage

Answer: C

Explanation:
* Giving a database role permission to process an Analysis Services database means that the role has permission to perform all processing options on the database. This includes the processing of all cubes, dimensions, mining structures, and mining models in the database. However, the role does not have permission to read database metadata or access any data in the database itself.
