Microsoft TS:MS SQL Server 2008.Business Intelligence Dev and Maintenan Sample Questions:
1. You are managing the security in SQL Server 2008 Reporting Services (SSRS).
You assign a new user to a role.
You need to grant the permissions to the user to publish reports and manage content only in a private folder.
What should you do?
A) Assign the user to the Publisher role.
B) Assign the user to the Content Manager and the Report Builder roles.
C) Assign the user to the My Reports role.
D) Assign the user to the Content Manager and the Browser roles.
2. You implement a SQL Server 2008 Integration Services (SSIS) package.
The package contains the following components:
A Foreach Loop container for the Collection property as shown in the following exhibit. (Click the Exhibit
button.)
A Foreach Loop container for the Variable Mappings property as shown in the following exhibit. (Click the
Exhibit button.)
A String variable named FileName.
A String variable named DirectoryPath.
You need to update the package so that the DirectoryPath variable returns the directory path for the file
path stored in the FileName variable.
Which two actions should you perform? (Each correct answer presents part of the solution. Choose two.)
A) Set the Expression property of the User::DirectoryPath variable to the following expression. SUBSTRING( @[User::FileName], 1, LEN( @[User::FileName] ) - FINDSTRING( REVERSE( @ [User::FileName] ), "\\", 1 ))
B) Set the RaiseChangedEvent property of the User::FileName variable to True.
C) Set the Expression property of the User::FileName variable to the following expression. SUBSTRING( @[User::FileName], 1, LEN( @[User::FileName] ) - FINDSTRING( REVERSE( @ [User::FileName] ), "\\", 1 ))
D) Add a Script task to the OnPostExecute event handler of the Foreach Loop container.
E) Set the EvaluateAsExpression property of the User::DirectoryPath variable to True.
3. You create a report by using SQL Server 2008 Reporting Services (SSRS).
The report is complex and takes several minutes to generate.
You need to configure the report server to run in the morning and have the users access that copy of the
report for the remainder of the day.
What should you do?
A) Implement report snapshots
B) Configure the data source to use snapshot isolation
C) Configure the data source to use a database snapshot
D) Implement report execution caching
4. You create a SQL Server 2008 Analysis Services (SSAS) solution. You have a dimension named Account and a time dimension named Time. You have a fact table that contains a column named CurrentBalance. CurrentBalance contains the current account balance. You need to create a measure named AccountBalance from the CurrentBalance column to display the closing account balance for a time period. What should you do?
A) Set the AggregationFunction property of AccountBalance to FirstNonEmpty.
B) Set the AggregationFunction property of AccountBalance to Sum.
C) Set the AggregationFunction property of AccountBalance to LastNonEmpty.
D) Set the AggregationFunction property of AccountBalance to ByAccount.
