A SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) cube named Sales includes a dimension named Date that defines a hierarchy named Calendar. The Calendar hierarchy consists of Year, Quarter, and Month levels. The Type properties of the Date dimension and its attributes are appropriately configured to mark the dimension as a time dimension.
You are creating a Multidimensional Expressions (MDX) query that will return sales for each month of 2011 and a three-month moving average of sales (labeled 3MMA), as shown in the following diagram.

You need to complete the MDX query.
Which set expression should you use? To answer, drag the appropriate expression to the answer area.

You have a business intelligence (BI) infrastructure that contains three servers. The servers are configured as shown in the following table.

You need to recommend a health monitoring solution for the BI infrastructure.
The solution must meet the following requirements:
* Monitor the status of the Usage Data Collection feature.
* Monitor the number of end-users accessing the solution.
* Monitor the amount of cache used when the users query data.
Which health monitoring solution should you recommend using on each server? To answer, drag the appropriate monitoring solutions to the correct servers. Each monitoring solution 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.

Explanation

You develop a SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) project named Project1 by using SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT). Project1 contains a package named Package1.
You add a project parameter named EnvironmentText to Project1.
In SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS), you create the SSIS catalog.
You have the following requirements:
* Configure Package1 so it can run within either a development environment or a test environment.
* Pass the value of an SSIS environment variable to the EnvironmentText project parameter.
* The value of the environment variable must be different for each SSIS environment.
You need to deploy the SSIS project and configure the SSIS environment.
