01. What is an inferred member?
a) A row in a fact table added during dimension load
b) A row with aggregated values
c) A row in a dimension added during fact table load
d) A computed column in a fact table
02. You maintain a SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) package.
The package was developed by using SQL Server 2008 Business Intelligence Development Studio (BIDS). The package includes custom scripts that must be upgraded. You need to upgrade the package to SQL Server 2012.
Which tool should you use?

b) SSIS Upgrade Wizard in SQL Server Data Tools
c) SQL Server DTExecUI utility (dtexecui.exe)
d) SQL Server dtexec utility (dtexec.exe)
03. In your SSIS package, you need to set the properties of several tasks based on the information available about the run time environment. Each of the properties you need to compute can be calculated by using a mathematical expression.
What would be the most appropriate method?
a) Use the Expression Builder to build and test the expression, and then copy it to all of the corresponding task definitions.
b) Place an Expression Task into the control flow, preceding each task whose properties need to be determined dynamically.
c) Use as many Expression tasks as necessary to compute as many variables as there are different calculations, and then use the variables to assign the values to the corresponding tasks.
d) Use a single Expression task and store all required computed values in a row set (Object) variable to be used in property expressions to configure the corresponding tasks.
04. Which of the following permissions are granted by default to any SSISDB user?
(Choose all that apply.)
a) Permission to create folders in the SSISDB catalog
b) Permission to deploy SSIS projects to the SSISDB catalog
c) Permission to modify SSIS projects that they themselves have deployed
d) Permission to create environments
05. You use Excel to add a batch of leaf-level members to your MDS entity. You are concerned about the possibility of adding duplicate data.
What should you do to find the duplicates in the most efficient way?
a) Use a DQS matching knowledge base to check for the duplicates.
b) Manually review existing members and compare them to members you want to add from Excel.
c) Use the SSIS Fuzzy Lookup transformation to check for the duplicates.
d) Use the T-SQL SOUNDEX() function to check for the duplicates.
06. Why would you use indexed views?
(Choose all that apply.)
a) To speed up queries that aggregate data
b) To speed up data load
c) To speed up selective queries
d) To speed up queries that involve multiple joins
07. How can you influence DQS matching rules?
(Choose all that apply.)
a) You can define the weight of each domain.
b) You can define the overall minimum matching score for rows to be considered as a match.
c) You can select a string similarity algorithm.
d) You can define similarity tolerance for numbers and dates.
08. Your company has several line-of-business applications.
The applications use a server that has SQL Server installed and contains several databases. You need that the business applications can access curated and validated data from the databases.
Which features should you deploy to the server?
a) Data Quality Services (DQS)
b) SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) dimension hierarchies.
c) SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS)
d) Master Data Services (MDS) subscriptions.
09. After you insert data to staging tables, how can you initiate the staging process?
(Choose all that apply.)
a) By executing the staging procedures
b) By starting the InitiateStaging SQL Server Agent job created when you installed MDS
c) By using the Master Data Manager application
d) By using the MDSModelDeploy command prompt utility
10. Which DQS client tools are available with SQL Server 2012?
(Choose all that apply.)
a) MDS Excel Add-in
b) Data Quality Client
c) SSIS DQS Cleansing Transformation
d) SQL Server Data Tools
e) DQS Microsoft Visio Add-in
