Q2. A SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) project has been deployed to the SSIS catalog. The project includes a project Connection Manager to connect to the data warehouse.
The SSIS catalog includes two Environments:
. Development
. QA
Each Environment defines a single Environment Variable named ConnectionString of type string. The value of each variable consists of the connection string to the development or QA data warehouses.
You need to be able to execute deployed packages by using either of the defined Environments.
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.)
Answer:
Q3. You are developing a SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) package to load data into a data warehouse. The package consists of several data flow tasks.
The package experiences intermittent errors in the data flow tasks.
If any data flow task fails, all package error information must be captured and written to a SQL Server table by using an OLE DB connection manager.
You need to ensure that the package error information is captured and written to the table.
What should you do?
A. Use an event handler for OnError for the package.
B. Use an event handler for OnError for each data flow task.
C. Use an event handler for OnTaskFailed for the package.
D. View the job history for the SQL Server Agent job.
E. View the All Messages subsection of the All Executions report for the package.
F. Store the System::SourceID variable in the custom log table.
G. Store the System::ServerExecutionID variable in the custom log table.
H. Store the System::ExecutionInstanceGUID variable in the custom log table.
I. Enable the SSIS log provider for SQL Server for OnError in the package control flow.
J. Enable the SSIS log provider for SQL Server for OnTaskFailed in the package control flow.
K. Deploy the project by using dtutil.exe with the /COPY DTS option.
L. Deploy the project by using dtutil.exe with the /COPY SQL option.
M. Deploy the .ispac file by using the Integration Services Deployment Wizard.
N. Create a SQL Server Agent job to execute the SSISDB.catalog.validate_project stored procedure.
O. Create a SQL Server Agent job to execute the SSISDB.catalog.validate_package stored procedure.
P. Create a SQL Server Agent job to execute the
SSISDB.catalog.create_execution and SSISDB.catalog.start_execution stored procedures.
Q. Create a table to store error information. Create an error output on each data flow
destination that writes OnError event text to the table.
R. Create a table to store error information. Create an error output on each data flow
destination that writes OnTaskFailed event text to the table.
Answer: I
Q4. You are designing a partitioning strategy for a large fact table in a data warehouse. Tens of millions of new records are loaded into the data warehouse weekly, outside of business hours.
Most queries are generated by reports and by cube processing. Data is frequently queried at the day level and occasionally at the month level.
You need to partition the table to maximize the performance of queries. What should you do? (More than one answer choice may achieve the goal. Select the BEST answer.)
A. Partition the fact table by month, and compress each partition.
B. Partition the fact table by week.
C. Partition the fact table by year.
D. Partition the fact table by day, and compress each partition.
Answer: D
Q5. You are editing a SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) package that uses checkpoints.
The package performs the following steps:
1. Download a sales transaction file by using FTP.
2. Truncate a staging table.
3. Load the contents of the file to the staging table.
4. Merge the data with another data source for loading to a data warehouse.
The checkpoints are currently working such that if any of the four steps fail, the package will restart from the failed step the next time it executes.
You need to modify the package to ensure that if either the Truncate Staging Table or the Load Sales to Staging task fails, the package will always restart from the Truncate Staging Table task the next time the package runs.
Which three steps 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.)
Answer:
Q6. You are implementing a SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) 2012 package that loads data from various flat files and a Windows Azure SQL Database database.
Daily transactions must be loaded into a staging database. All the SSIS tasks will use the CurrentDate variable as the transaction date.
You need to set the CurrentDate variable to the date stored in a control table of the Windows Azure SQL Database database when the package starts. You need to achieve this goal by using the least amount of development effort.
What should you use to set the variable?
A. an Expression task
B. an Execute SQL task
C. a Script component
D. a Script task
Answer: B
Q7. You are developing a SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) package to load data into a SQL Server 2012 database.
The name of the target instance is passed to the package via an Environment variable. The Environment variable provides the server name to the Project parameter named ServerName.
The OLE DB Project Connection Manager has been parameterized.
You need to configure the Connection Manager property to accept the parameter.
Which property and parameter should you use? (To answer, configure the appropriate option or options in the dialog box in the answer area.)
Answer:
Q8. You install a SQL Server 2012 database engine instance on a production server. A month later, you install SQL Server 2012 Integration Services (SSIS).
You must develop an SSIS project and deploy it to the server by using the Project Deployment model.
Operations log records that are outside the configured retention period must be cleaned automatically.
You need to create the SSIS catalog on the production server and ensure that the operations log cleaning requirement is met.
What should you do? (Each correct answer presents part of the solution. Choose all that apply.)
A. Enable CLR Integration.
B. Enable FILESTREAM with Full Access.
C. Enable the Resource Governor.
D. Change the recovery mode of the msdb database to FULL.
E. Change the Server-wide Default Logging Level in SSISDB to Verbose.
F. Start the SQL Server Browser service.
G. Start the SQL Server Agent service.
Answer: A,D
Q9. You are editing a SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) package.
You need to edit the Script task that has an expression defined.
Which task should you select? To answer, select the appropriate setting or settings in the answer area.
Answer:
Q10. You are editing a SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) package that contains three Execute SQL tasks and no other tasks. The package and all three Execute SQL tasks have their TransactionOption property set to Supported.
You need to ensure that if any of the Execute SQL tasks fail, all three tasks will roll back their changes.
What should you do?
A. Move the three Execute SQL tasks into a Sequence container.
B. Move the three Execute SQL tasks into a Foreach Loop container.
C. Change the TransactionOption property of all three Execute SQL tasks to Required.
D. Change the TransactionOption property of the package to Required.
Answer: D
