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

1. You maintain a SQL Server 2008 Analysis Services (SSAS) database on a default instance.
You plan to document the Analysis Services performance information.
You need to collect information related to cache hits from the memory when the database is processed.
Which object should you use?

A) MSAS 2008: Storage Engine Query
B) MSAS 2008: Proc Aggregations
C) MSAS 2008: Cache
D) MSAS 2008: Memory

2. You plan to use SQL Server 2008 Integration Services (SSIS) on a SQL Server 2008 failover cluster.
You have a complex package that takes a long time to run.
You need to ensure that if the package executes during a failover, the package can be resumed at the point
of failure.
What should you do?

A) Cluster the SSIS service. Add the SSIS service to its own cluster resource group.
B) Implement transactions within your package. Restart the package whenever a failover occurs.
C) Implement checkpoints within your package. Restart the package whenever a failover occurs.
D) Cluster the SSIS service. Add the SSIS service to the SQL Server cluster resource group.

3. 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) 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
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) 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
D) SELECT * INTO [Decision Tree] USING [Microsoft_Decision_Trees] FROM [Bike Buyer]

4. You maintain a SQL Server 2008 Analysis Services (SSAS) instance. The instance contains a database
that is used by the members of the Engineering group.
You configure a new role named Engineering and Design by using the following allowed permission set:
{[Employees].[Department].[Engineering and Design]}
You assign the Engineering group to the Engineering and Design role.
You need to ensure that users in the Engineering and Design role can view data only for their department.
What should you do?

A) Add the Roles = [Engineering and Design]; parameter to the connection string.
B) Add your account temporarily to the Engineering and Design role.
C) Select the Enable Visual Totals check box for the Engineering and Design role.
D) Add the User ID = [Engineering and Design]; parameter to the connection string.

5. You develop a SQL Server 2008 Integration Services (SSIS) package. The package downloads several
files from a remote FTP server by using multiple FTP tasks, and then processes data by using multiple
Execute SQL tasks.
You need to configure the package to restart at the point of failure after the package downloads the files.
What should you do?

A) Configure the Execute SQL tasks to support transactions.
B) Move all the FTP tasks to a sequence container.
C) Configure the package to use a checkpoint.
D) Configure the FTP tasks to support transactions.
