Microsoft TS:MS SQL Server 2008.Business Intelligence Dev and Maintenan Sample Questions:

1. You create a SQL Server 2008 Analysis Services (SSAS) solution.
You create a dimension named DimProduct that contains an attribute named Price. You use the
DimProduct dimension in a cube.
You need to ensure that aggregations are not associated with the Price attribute.
What should you do?

A) Set the MembersWithData property of the Price attribute to NonLeafDataHidden.
B) Set the AttributeHierarchyEnabled property of the Price attribute to False.
C) Set the IsAggregatable property of the Price attribute to False.
D) Set the GroupingBehavior property of the Price attribute to DiscourageGrouping.

2. You administer a SQL Server 2008 Analysis Services (SSAS) database. A sales manager is responsible for the sales of bikes in the Northeast region. You plan to grant the necessary permissions to the sales manager to access the database. You have two roles named Northeast Region and Bikes. The schemas of the two roles are as shown in the following tablE.Role Allowed set
Northeast Region
{[Sales Territory].[Sales Territory Region].&[Northeast]}
Bikes
{[Product].[Product Category].[Product Category].&[Bikes]}
The Visual Totals property is set to True for both roles.
You need to ensure that the sales manager can view only the members in the Product dimension that relate
to the Bikes category in the Northeast region.
What should you do?

A) Add the manager to the Northeast Region role.
B) Add the manager to the Bikes role.
C) Add the manager to a new role that has the following two components: {[Sales Territory].[Sales Territory Region].AllMembers} as the denied set {[Sales Territory].[Sales Territory Region].&[Northeast]} as the allowed set. {[Product].[Product Category].[Product Category].AllMembers} as the denied set. {[Product].[Product Category].[Product Category].&[Bikes]} as the allowed set.
D) Add the manager to a new role that has the following two components: {[Sales Territory].[Sales Territory Region].&[Northeast]} as the allowed set. {[Product].[Product Category].[Product Category].&[Bikes]} as the allowed set.

3. You are an ETL developer. You maintain a SQL Server 2008 Integration Services (SSIS) instance.
You need to develop a parent package that meets the following requirements:
The parent package can execute child packages by using multiple execute Package tasks.
A notification needs to be sent before executing the parent package and after executing all child packages.
If any packages have errors during execution, the subsequent package should run after the failure.
Only one error notification email should be sent that lists all package errors from the parent package.
What should you do? (Each correct answer presents part of the solution. Choose three.)

A) Add a Send Mail Task to the child packages' OnPostExecution event handler.
B) A Add a Send Mail Task to the child packages' OnPostExecution event handler.
C) Set the precedence constraints between child packages Completion.
D) dd a Send Mail Task to the parent packages' OnError event handler.
E) Set the precedence constraints between child packages to success.

4. You maintain a SQL Server 2008 Analysis Services (SSAS) database.
You are troubleshooting query performance by using SQL Profiler.
You are identifying the queries that take a long time to run. You determine the time used by the Storage
Engine.
You need to determine the time used by the Formula Engine.
What trace event should you use?

A) MDX Script End
B) Query Cube End
C) Get Data from Cache
D) Query Subcube

5. You create a data mining model by using SQL Server 2008 Analysis Services (SSAS).
You create a mining structure by using the following Data Mining Extensions (DMX) code.
CREATE MINING STRUCTURE [Bike Buyer](
[Customer Key] LONG KEY,
[Age] LONG DISCRETIZED(Automatic, 10),
[Bike Buyer] LONG DISCRETE,
[Commute Distance] TEXT DISCRETE,
[Yearly Income] DOUBLE CONTINUOUS
)
You need to create a mining model that can be processed by using this mining structure. You also need to
ensure that the model uses the Microsoft Decision Trees algorithm.
Which DMX statement should you use?

A) ALTER MINING STRUCTURE [Bike Buyer] ADD MINING MODEL [Decision Tree] ( [Customer Key],
[Age],
[Bike Buyer] PREDICT,
[Commute Distance],
[Yearly Income]
)?USING Microsoft_Decision_Trees
WITH DRILLTHROUGH
B) INSERT INTO [Decision Tree] ( [Customer Key], [Age], [Bike Buyer], [Commute Distance], [Yearly Income] ) OPENQUERY([Bike Buyer], ?'Select [Customer Key], [Age], [Bike Buyer] , [Commute Distance],[Yearly Income]' )
C) SELECT * INTO [Decision Tree] USING [Microsoft_Decision_Trees] FROM [Bike Buyer]
D) CREATE MINING MODEL [Decision Tree] ( [Customer Key] LONG KEY, [Age] LONG DISCRETIZED(Automatic, 10), [Bike Buyer] LONG DISCRETE, [Commute Distance] TEXT DISCRETE, [Yearly Income] DOUBLE CONTINUOUS )?USING Microsoft_Decision_Trees
