Microsoft 70-466 Real Exam Questions

1. After you deploy the RegionalSales report, you attempt to configure the subscriptions. You discover that the subscription creation screen does not display the option to deliver the report by email. You need to ensure that subscriptions can be delivered by using email.
What should you do?

2. Topic 2, Contoso, Ltd

Background
You are the business intelligence (BI) solutions architect for Contoso Ltd, a multinational sales company with offices in London, Madrid, Paris, Brisbane, Tokyo, and New York. Contoso sells office consumable products such as pens, printer ink, and paper.
You produce solutions by using SQL Server 2012 Business Intelligence Edition and Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010 Enterprise Edition with SP1.

Technical Background
Contoso's products are categorized by using four levels while some use only two or three levels.
Products are categorized as shown in the following table.


Contoso sells products through mobile sales staff, direct marketing, and its website. Sales personnel are located in various regions around the world, and each region has a sales manager who is paid a quarterly bonus based on the total sales in the region during the quarter.
Regions are categorized as shown in the following table.


SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) is used to host a multidimensional database. The database contains a single cube named Sales and three database dimensions named Products, Regions, and Date. A single measure named Sales Total has been defined in the cube. The data source for the database is a SQL Server data warehouse.

The Products dimension contains a single user-defined hierarchy named Products.
To prevent the display of empty members when users browse the Products dimension, the Extract, Transform, and Load (ETL) process populates all missing values as shown in the following diagram.


The structure of the Products hierarchy is shown in the following diagram.


The Regions dimension contains a single user-defined hierarchy named Sales Regions. The dimension is based on a single dimension table in the data warehouse and the attribute relationships have not been modified since the dimension was created by using the Dimension wizard. The structure of the Sales Regions hierarchy is shown in the following diagram.


The Date dimension contains a single user-defined hierarchy named Calendar.
The structure of the Calendar hierarchy is shown in the following diagram.


A role named UserRegions has been created in the SSAS database that will be used to filter members in the Regions dimension based on the authenticated user.
Administrative staff from around the world will produce sales reports with Microsoft Excel 2010 based on the Sales cube.
Developers will produce reports with SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) based on the Sales cube and the reports will be delivered to users through report subscriptions and a web browser-All users log on to an Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) domain named contoso.com.

All client computers and servers are joined to the contoso.com domain.

Business Requirements
The BI system must meet the following reporting requirements:
• Display all sales figures in euro currency, regardless of the client's reporting location
• Include a new measure named AD Sales that calculates average daily sales for a selected month
• Support near real-time reporting while maintaining good performance for multidimensional queries
• Support reports that show currency exchange rates
• Deliver executive reports that are parameterized and rendered from report snapshots

In addition, cube objects must use terms familiar to users from around the world. For example, in the SalesRegions hierarchy, users from Great Britain must see the State level presented as County when browsing the Sales cube.
The Sales cube must support a new measure group named Sales Planning. The measure group must consist of a single measure named Sales Plan that enables the management team to use Excel 2010 to enter sales plans for future monitoring.

The BI system must meet the following technical requirements:

Architecture requirements
• The system must use separate servers for each of the following components:
- SQL Server Database Engine
- SQL Server Integration Services
- SQL Server Analysis Services in multidimensional mode
- SharePoint Server with the Reporting Services Add-in
• All servers must be installed using U.S. regional settings.
• The system must source currency exchange rate data from a database hosted in Microsoft Azure SQL Database.

Security requirements
• When possible, the system must use Windows authentication for all database connections.
• The system must prevent users from querying data from outside of their region.
• The system must allow certain users to query data from multiple regions.

Development requirements
• When browsing the Products hierarchy, repeating values for different levels of a given drill-path must be avoided. For example, Papers -> Copy Paper -> Copy Paper -> Copy Paper should appear simply as Papers -> Copy Paper.
• The system must support report snapshots. The default maximum number of retained snapshots must not exceed five.

Which value should you use for the FormatString property?

13. Topic 3, Data Architect

General Background
You are the data architect for a company that uses SQL Server 2012 Enterprise Edition. You design data modeling and reporting solutions that are based on a sales data warehouse.

Background
The solutions will be deployed on the following servers:
• Server A runs SQL Server Database Engine, Server A is the data warehouse server.
• Server B runs SQL Server Database Engine, SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) in multidimensional mode, and SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS).
• Server C runs SSAS in tabular mode, SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) running in SharePoint mode, and Microsoft SharePoint 2010 Enterprise Edition with SP1.
The data warehouse schema currently contains the tables shown in the exhibit. (Click the Exhibit button.)

Business Requirements
The reporting solution must address the requirements of the sales team, as follows:
• Team members must be able to view standard reports from SharePoint.
• Team members must be able to perform ad-hoc analysis by using Microsoft Power View and Excel.
• Team members can have standard reports delivered to them on a schedule of their choosing.

The standard reports
• Will use a sales territory hierarchy for organizing data by region.
• Will be accessible from SharePoint.

The Excel ad-hoc reports
• Will use the same data store as the standard reports.
• Will provide direct access to the data store for the sales team and a simplified view for the executive team.

Technical Requirements
The standard reports must be based on an SSAS cube.
The schema of the data warehouse on Server A must be able to support the ability to slice the fact data by the following dates:
• Order date (OrderDateKey)
• Due date (DueDateKey)
• Ship date (ShipDateKey)

Additions and modifications to the data warehouse schema must adhere to star schema design principles to minimize maintenance and complexity.
The multidimensional and tabular models will be based on the data warehouse. The tabular and multidimensional models will be created by using SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT). The tabular project is named AdhocReports and the multidimensional project is named Standard Reports.
The cube design in the Standard Reports project must define two measures for the unique count of sales territories (SalesTerritoryKey) and products (ProductKey).

A deployment script that can be executed from a command-line utility must be created to deploy the Standard Reports project to Server B.

The tabular model in the AdhocReports project must meet the following requirements:
• A hierarchy must be created that consists of the SalesTerritoryCountry and SalesTerritoryRegion columns from the DimSalesTerritory table and the EmployeeName column from the DimEmployee table.
• A key performance indicator (KPI) must be created that compares the total quantity sold (OrderQuantity) to a threshold value of 1,000.
• A measure must be created to calculate day-over-day (DOD) sales by region based on order date.

SSRS on Server C must be configured to meet the following requirements:
• It must use a single data source for the standard reports.
• It must allow users to create their own standard report subscriptions.
• The sales team members must be limited to only viewing and subscribing to reports in the Sales Reports library.

A week after the reporting solution was deployed to production, Marc, a salesperson, indicated that he has never received reports for which he created an SSRS subscription. In addition, Marc reports that he receives timeout errors when running some reports on demand.
