A database named DB2 uses the InMemory query mode. Users frequently run the following query:
You need to configure SQL Server Profiler to determine why the query is performing poorly.
Which three event should you monitor on the SQL Server Profiler trace events configuration page? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.
Correct Answer:
Explanation:
By using SQL Profiler, you can intercept two classes of trace events from Analysis Services, DAX Query Plan and DirectQuery events, both generated by the DirectQuery engine. Here, in this scenario we have a DAX Query.
DAX Query Plan events are generated by the DAX formula. By using the In-Memory mode, you store a copy of data in the xVelocity (VertiPaq) storage engine.
Figure: This is how a query is executed by using In-Memory mode.

Hotspot Question
You are a database administrator in a company that uses Microsoft SharePoint Server for all intranet sites. You are responsible for the installation of new database server instances.
You must install Microsoft SQL Server Analysis Server (SSAS) to support deployment of the following projects. You develop both projects by using SQL Server Data Tools.
You need to install the appropriate services to support both projects.
What should you do? In the table below, select the appropriate services for each project. NOTE:
Make only one selection in each column. Each correct selection is worth one point.

Drag and Drop Question
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.

Correct 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 3, Background
You are a developer for a Seattle-based company. The company is expanding globally. Many company employees speak fluent Mandarin and read Simplified Chinese.
You have six tabular data models that are deployed to two instances of Microsoft SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS).
Users report that the query takes a long time to complete.
You are planning the disk space allocations for a new Microsoft SQL Server Analysis Services deployment. You plan to move several relational data file databases to the new SSAS instance.
The databases require a total of 10 GB of disk space.
You also plan to deploy Cubes and Aggregations and use Object Processing. Cubes will have small fact tables and few dimension members. No unnecessary aggregations will be created. You plan to process an entire cube in a single transaction.
Data Models
One of the data models is named CustomerSales. This data model contains eight tables. The model includes a table named Sales that defines several measures, including a measure named PriorYearSales. The PriorYearSales measure is referenced by other measures, and is not intended to be analyzed directly by users. You must translate the metadata for all fata the CustomerSales data model to Simplifies Chinese. Team members from the Shanghai office assist with identifying appropriate translations.
A data model named OrderAnalysis is deployed to one of the SSAS instances. Order data is loaded into the OrderAnalysis data as part of an overnight process. You observe that the model is not up-to-date.
The business analysis team uses a variety of client applications to issue MDX queries against OrderAnalysis. Order data must be completely up-to-date.
The OrderAnalysis model has two user-defined hierarchies that are defined in a table named Order. New customers are only added once per day. The overnight process is sufficiently up-to- date for the Customer data to provide optimal performance while achieving the data currency goals whenever possible.
Databases
You deploy a database named DB1 to an SSAS instance as a project by using SQL Server Data Tools. Data analysts report that they cannot access near real time data from the SSAS SalesAnalysis model from DB1. You discover that the project has been deployed with the Direct Query Mode option set to OFF.
Most queries that use the SalesAnalysis data model use data from a table named FactInternetSales that is 20 gigabyte (GB) in size. Cached data must be available for the FactInternetSales table. All queries accessing the SalesAnalysis model must be executed in near real time.

Drag and Drop Question
You need to configure the CoffeeSale fact table environment.
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. NOTE: More than one order of answer choices is correct. You will receive credit for any of the correct orders you select.

Correct Answer:
Explanation:
Step 1: Partition the CoffeSale facto table.
Step 2: Set the storage mode for all partitions to HOLAP. Partitions stored as HOLAP are smaller than the equivalent MOLAP partitions because they do not contain source data and respond faster than ROLAP partitions for queries involving summary data.
Step 3: Alter the processing job to ensure that it rearranges the partition structure each evening.
Step 4: Test that the cube meets the functional requirement for data currency and query performance.
From scenario:
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.
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.

Each question is independent of the other questions in this series. Information and details provided in a question apply only to that question.
You administer a Microsoft SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) tabular model for a retail company.
The model is the basis for reports on inventory levels, popular products, and regional store performance.
The company recently split up into multiple companies based on product lines.
Each company starts with a copy of the database and tabular model that contains data for a specific product line.
You need to optimize performance of queries that use the copied tabular models while minimizing downtime.
