QUESTION 4
Drag and Drop Questions
You are developing a SQL Server Analysis Services (S5AS) cube.
The cube consists of a single measure group.
The measure group consists of one partition that uses MOLAP.
The proactive caching policy has the following requirements:
– The cache must be updated when data is changed in the table named tbIOrders.
– Changes must be notified through the use of the XML for Analysis (XMLA) NotifyTableChange command.
You need to configure the proactive caching policy to meet the requirements.
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:
Explanation:
Box 1: On the Partitions tab, Click Storage Settings We specify the Storage Settings for the correct partition.
Box 2: Enable proactive caching.
We enable proactive caching.
Box 3: Select the Client initiated notification type, and then select the tblOrders table.
On the Notifications tab, there are three options out of which, as shown below, you can select any one at a time.
– SQL Server-With this option, SSAS uses SQL Server notification services/specialized trace mechanism to identify data changes.
– Client initiated-With this option, client can specify the XMLA (XML for Analysis) command (NotifyTableChange) to identify data changes.
– Scheduled polling-With this option, SSAS uses a series of queries to see (polling at defined interval) if there is any data change at the underlying relational database.
Note:
You use the Storage Settings dialog box in BIDS (Business Intelligence Development Studio) to set the proactive caching feature, storage location, and notification settings for a dimension, cube, measure group, or measure group partition.
The Custom Setting allows you to explicitly enable proactive caching (if you don’t want to use Standard Setting), set storage mode, and notification options. (Box 2)
QUESTION 5

Answer: D
QUESTION 7
You are designing a SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) report that sources data from a SQL Azure database.
The report must display the value and status of a Key Performance Indicator (KPI).
Which report item should you use? (Each answer presents a complete solution. Choose all that apply.)
A. Sparkline
B. Gauge
C. Indicator
D. Data Bar
E. Image
Answer: BC
Explanation:
B: The Gauge data region is a one-dimensional data region that displays a single value in your dataset. An individual gauge is always positioned inside a gauge panel, where you can add child or adjacent gauges.
You can use gauges to perform many tasks in a report:
Display key performance indicators (KPIs) in a single radial or linear gauge.
Place a gauge inside a table or matrix to illustrate values inside each cell.
Use multiple gauges in a single gauge panel to compare data between fields.
C: Indicators are minimal gauges that convey the state of a single data value at a glance.
The icons that represent indicators and their states are simple and visually effective even when used in small sizes.
You can use state indicators in your reports to show the following:
Trends by using trending-up, flat (no change), or trending-down arrows.
State by using commonly recognized symbols such as checkmarks and exclamation marks.
Conditions by using commonly recognized shapes such traffic lights and signs.
Ratings by using common recognized shapes and symbols that show progress such number of quadrants in a square and stars.
Incorrect:
Not A, not D:
Sparklines and data bars are small, simple charts that convey a lot of information in a little space, often inline with text. Sparklines and data bars are often used in tables and matrices. Their impact comes from viewing many of them together and being able to quickly compare them one above the other, rather than viewing them singly. They make it easy to see the outliers, the rows that are not performing like the others. Although they are small, each sparkline often represents multiple data points, often over time. Data bars can represent multiple data points, but typically illustrate only one.

Answer: AC
Explanation:
A: RELATED Function
Returns a related value from another table.
– The RELATED function requires that a relationship exists between the current table and the table with related information.
You specify the column that contains the data that you want, and the function follows an existing many-to-one relationship to fetch the value from the specified column in the related table.
C:
The lookupvalue function returns the value in result_columnName for the row that meets all criteria specified by search_columnName and search_value.
Syntax:
LOOKUPVALUE( <result_columnName>, <search_columnName>, <search_value>[, <search_columnName>, <search_value>]…)
Note:
The syntax of DAX formulas is very similar to that of Excel formulas, and uses a combination of functions, operators, and values.
