You need to configure the server to optimize the afternoon report generation based on the
OrderAnalysis cube.
Which property should you configure?
- A. LowMemoryLimit
- B. VertiPaqPagingPolicy
- C. TotalMemoryLimit
- D. VirtualMemoryLimit
Answer : A
Explanation:
LowMemoryLimit: For multidimensional instances, a lower threshold at which the server first begins releasing memory allocated to infrequently used objects.
From scenario: Reports that are generated based on data from the OrderAnalysis cube take more time to complete when they are generated in the afternoon each day. You examine the server and observe that it is under significant memory pressure.
You need to resolve the issues that the users report.
Which processing options should you use? To answer, drag the appropriate processing option to the correct location or locations. Each processing option may be used once, more than once, or not at all. You may need to drag the split bar between panes or scroll to view content.
Answer :
Explanation:
Box1: Process Full:
When Process Full is executed against an object that has already been processed,
Analysis Services drops all data in the object, and then processes the object. This kind of processing is required when a structural change has been made to an object, for example, when an attribute hierarchy is added, deleted, or renamed.
Box 2: Process Default -
Detects the process state of database objects, and performs processing necessary to deliver unprocessed or partially processed objects to a fully processed state. If you change a data binding, Process Default will do a Process Full on the affected object.
Box 3:
Not Process Update: Forces a re-read of data and an update of dimension attributes.
Flexible aggregations and indexes on related partitions will be dropped.
You need to create the cube processing job and the dimension processing job.
Which processing task should you use for each job? To answer, drag the appropriate processing tasks to the correct locations. Each processing task may be used once, more than once, or not at all. You may need to drag the split bar between panes or scroll to view content.
Answer :
Explanation:
Box 1: ProcessData -
Processes data only without building aggregations or indexes. If there is data is in the partitions, it will be dropped before re-populating the partition with source data.
Box 2: Process Update -
Forces a re-read of data and an update of dimension attributes. Flexible aggregations and indexes on related partitions will be dropped.

Topic 2, Case Study #2 -
Background -
Wide World Importers has multidimensional cubes named SalesAnalysis and
ProductSales. The SalesAnalysis cube is refreshed from a relational data warehouse. You have a Microsoft SQL Server Analysis Services instance that is configured to use tabular mode. You have a tabular data model named CustomerAnalysis.
Sales Analysis -
The SalesAnalysis cube contains a fact table named CoffeeSale loaded from a table named FactSale in the data warehouse. The time granularity within the cube is 15 minutes.
The cube is processed every night at 23:00. You determine that the fact table cannot be fully processed in the expected time. Users have reported slow query response times.
The SalesAnalysis model contains tables from a SQL Server database named SalesDB.
You set the DirectQueryMode option to DirectQuery. Data analyst access data from a cache that is up to 24 hours old. Data analyst report performance issues when they access the SalesAnalysis model.
When analyzing sales by customer, the total of all sales is shown for every customer, instead of the customers sales value. When analyzing sales by product, the correct totals for each product are shown.
Customer Analysis -
You are redesigning the CustomerAnalysis tabular data model that will be used to analyze customer sales. You plan to add a table named CustomerPermission to the model. This table maps the Active Directory login of an employee with the CustomerId keys for all customers that the employee manages.
The CustomerAnalysis data model will contain a large amount of data and needs to be shared with other developers even if a deployment fails. Each time you deploy a change during development, processing takes a long time.
Data analysts must be able to analyze sales for financial years, financial quarters, months, and days. Many reports are based on analyzing sales by month.
Product Sales -
The ProductSales cube allows data analysts to view sales information by product, city, and time. Data analysts must be able to view ProductSales data by Year to Date (YTD) as a measure. The measure must be formatted as currency, associated with the Sales measure group, and contained in a folder named Calculations.
Requirements -
You identify the following requirements:
*Data available during normal business hours must always be up-to-date.
*Processing overhead must be minimized.
*Query response times must improve.
*All queries that access the SalesAnal
You need to configure the SalesAnalysis cube to correct the sales analysis by customer calculation.
Which four 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:
Step 1: Open the cube editor, and open the Dimension Usage tab.
Step 2: Configure a relationship between the Customer dimension and the Sales measure group. Use Day as the granularity.
From scenario: The SalesAnalysis cube contains a fact table named CoffeeSale loaded from a table named FactSale in the data warehouse. The time granularity within the cube is
15 minutes. The cube is processed every night at 23:00. You determine that the fact table cannot be fully processed in the expected time. Users have reported slow query response times.
Step 3: Reprocess the cube.
Step 4: Deploy the project changes.
You need to configure the project option settings to minimize deployment time for the
CustomerAnalysis data model.
What should you do? To answer, select the appropriate setting from each list in the answer area.
Answer :
Explanation:
Scenario:
Box 1, Processing option:Default
Process Default detects the process state of database objects, and performs processing necessary to deliver unprocessed or partially processed objects to a fully processed state.
If you change a data binding, Process Default will do a Process Full on the affected object.
Note: Processing Method This setting controls whether the deployed objects are processed after deployment and the type of processing that will be performed. There are three processing options:
Default processing (default)
Full processing -
None -
Box 2, Transactional deployment: False
If this option is False, Analysis Services deploys the metadata changes in a single transaction, and deploys each processing command in its own transaction.
Scenario: The CustomerAnalysis data model will contain a large amount of data and needs to be shared with other developers even if a deployment fails. Each time you deploy a change during development, processing takes a long time.
