Microsoft Implementing a SQL Data Warehouse - 070-767 Exam Practice Test

You have a data quality project that focuses on the Products catalog for the company. The data includes a product reference number.
The product reference should use the following format: Two letters followed by an asterisk and then four or five numbers. An example of a valid number is XX*55522. Any reference number that does not conform to the format must be rejected during the data cleansing.
You need to add a Data Quality Services (DQS) domain rule in the Products domain.
Which rule should you use?

You have a data warehouse named DW1 that contains 20 years of data. DW1 contains a very large fact table.
New data is loaded to the fact table monthly.
Many reports query DW1 for the past year of data.
Users frequently report that the reports are slow.
You need to modify the fact table to minimize the amount of time it takes to run the reports. The solution must ensure that other reports can continue to be generated from DW1.
What should you do?

You are developing a Microsoft SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) package. You enable the SSIS log provider for the Windows event log. You configure the package to use the ScriptTaskLogEntry event. You create a custom Script task.
You need to ensure that when the script completes, it writes the execution status to the event log on the server that hosts SSIS.
Which code segment should you add to the Script task?

Each question is independent of the other questions in this series. Information and details provided in a question apply only to that question.
You are a database administrator for an e-commerce company that runs an online store. The company has three databases as described in the following table.

You plan to load at least one million rows of data each night from DB1 into the OnlineOrder table. You must load data into the correct partitions using a parallel process.
You create 24 Data Flow tasks. You must place the tasks into a component to allow parallel load. After all of the load processes compete, the process must proceed to the next task.
You need to load the data for the OnlineOrder table.
What should you use?

You are the administrator of a database that hosts tables for a data warehouse.
The table named Fact1 has data from the start of calendar year 2011 through the end of 2017. The table contains at least 20 million rows of data for each year. You create the table by running the following Transact-SQL statement:
CREATE PARTITION FUNCTION PartitionFunc_Faet1(SMALLINT) AS RANGE LEFT FOR VALUES(2012,2013,2014,2015) You need to modify the partition function so that rows for each calendar year are in a separate partition. You must also move all data prior to 2014 to another table named Fact1.old.

You are developing a Microsoft SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) package. The package design consists of two differently structured sources in a single data flow. The Sales source retrieves sales transactions from a SQL Server database, and the Product source retrieves product details from an XML file.
You need to combine the two data flow sources into a single output dataset.
Which SSIS Toolbox item should you use?

You manage Master Data Services (MDS).
You need to create a new entity with the following requirements:
* Maximize the performance of the MDS system.
* Ensure that the Entity change logs are stored.
You need to configure the Transaction Log Type setting. Which type should you use?
