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: N
Q2. You manage a SQL Server Master Data Services (MDS) environment.
A new application requires access to the product data that is available in the MDS repository.
You need to design a solution that gives the application access to the product data with the least amount of development effort.
What should you do?
A. Use sp_addlinkedserver to add a linked server to access the MDS database tables directly.
B. Create an OLE DB connection string that sets the Provider property to MDS.
C. Use transactional replication for data synchronization.
D. Create a Subscription View in MDS.
Answer: D
Q3. You are completing the installation of the Data Quality Server component of SQL Server Data Quality Services (DQS).
You need to complete the post-installation configuration.
What should you do?
A. Install the Analysis Services OLE DB Provider.
B. Make the data available for DQS operations.
C. Run the Data Quality Server Installer.
D. Install ADOMD.NET.

Q4. You are using the Knowledge Discovery feature of the Data Quality Services (DQS) client application to modify an existing knowledge base.
In the mapping configuration, two of the three columns are mapped to existing domains in the knowledge base. The third column, named Group, does not yet have a domain.
You need to complete the mapping of the Group column.
What should you do?
A. Map a composite domain to the source column.
B. Create a composite domain that includes the Group column.
C. Add a domain for the Group column.
D. Add a column mapping for the Group column.
Answer: C
Q5. You are developing a SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) package. An Execute SQL
task in the package checks product stock levels and sets a package variable named InStock to TRUE or FALSE depending on the stock level found.
After the successful execution of the Execute SQL task, one of two data flow tasks must run, depending on the value of the InStock variable.
You need to set the precedence constraints.
Which value for the evaluation operation should you use? (To answer, select the appropriate option for the evaluation operation in the answer area.)
Answer:
Q6. You are creating a SQL Server Master Data Services (MDS) model for a company.
The source data for the company is stored in a single table that contains the manager-to-subordinate relationships.
You need to create a hierarchy representing the organizational structure of the company.
Which hierarchy type should you use?
A. Natural
B. Explicit
C. Parent
D. Recursive

Q7. You develop a SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) package in a project by using the Project Deployment Model. It is regularly executed within a multi-step SQL Server Agent job.
You make changes to the package that should improve performance.
You need to establish if there is a trend in the durations of the next 10 successful executions of the package. You need to use the least amount of administrative effort to achieve this goal.
What should you do?
A. After 10 executions, in SQL Server Management Studio, view the Execution Performance subsection of the All Executions report for the package.
B. Configure the package to send you an email upon completion that includes information about the duration of the package. After 10 executions, view the emails.
C. Enable logging to the Application Event Log in the package control flow for the OnInformation event. After 10 executions, view the Application Event Log.
D. Enable logging to the Application Event Log in the package control flow for the OnPostExecute event. After 10 executions, view the Application Event Log.
Answer: A
Explanation: The All Executions Report displays a summary of all Integration Services executions that have been performed on the server. There can be multiple executions of the sample package. Unlike the Integration Services Dashboard report, you can configure the All Executions report to show executions that have started during a range of dates. The dates can span multiple days, months, or years.
The report displays the following sections of information.
* Filter
Shows the current filter applied to the report, such as the Start time range.
* Execution Information
Shows the start time, end time, and duration for each package execution.You can view a
list of the parameter values that were used with a package execution, such as values that
were passed to a child package using the Execute Package task.
Q8. You are designing a SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) package configuration strategy.
The package configuration must meet the following requirements: Include multiple properties in a configuration. Force packages to load all settings in the configuration. Support Encrypting File System (EFS) formats. You need to select the appropriate configuration.
Which configuration type should you use?
To answer, select the appropriate option from the drop-down list in the dialog box.
Answer:
Q9. To facilitate the troubleshooting of SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) packages, a logging methodology is put in place.
The methodology has the following requirements:
The deployment process must be simplified.
All the logs must be centralized in SQL Server.
Log data must be available via reports or T-SQL.
Log archival must be automated.
You need to configure a logging methodology that meets the requirements while minimizing the amount of deployment and development effort.
What should you do?
A. Open a command prompt and run the gacutil command.
B. Open a command prompt and execute the package by using the SQL Log provider and running the dtexecui.exe utility.
C. Add an OnError event handler to the SSIS project.
D. Use an msi file to deploy the package on the server.
E. Configure the output of a component in the package data flow to use a data tap.
F. Run the dtutil command to deploy the package to the SSIS catalog and store the configuration in SQL Server.
G. Open a command prompt and run the dtexec /rep /conn command.
H. Open a command prompt and run the dtutil /copy command.
I. Open a command prompt and run the dtexec /dumperror /conn command.
J. Configure the SSIS solution to use the Project Deployment Model.
