b. All the data is updated into the info cube with this structure.

c. It is dependent on the source system.

d. All of the above.

15. The following statements are untrue about ODSs.

a. It is possible to create ODSs without any data fields.

b. An ODS can have a maximum of 16 key fields.

c. Characteristics and key figures can be added as key fields in an ODS.

d. After creating and activating, an export data source is created automatically.

   

   

Correct answers:

Question #1: A, C, D

Transaction RSA3, or extractor checker, is used in the BW source system to check data sources for various extraction modes, including full update, delta update and delta initialization.

RSA5 is for installing standard business content data sources and RSA6 is for maintaining data sources.

Question #2: A

If an info object is created as a characteristic with a reference characteristic, it won't have its own sid and master data tables. The info object will always use the tables of the referred characteristic.

Question #3: D

All the statements except D are true. It is possible to change a navigational attribute back to a display attribute in an info cube, without deleting all data from the info cube.

Question #4: A

Yes, it is possible to create a key figure without assigning a unit if the data type is one of these four: Number, Integer, Date or Time.

Question #5: A, B, D

When a compounded info object is included in an info cube, all corresponding info objects are added to the info cube. If an info object is defined as an attribute, it cannot be included as compounding object. The total length of the compounding info objects cannot exceed 60 characters.

Question #6: A, C

Any characteristic in the info cube should be assigned to a dimension. One characteristic cannot be assigned to more than one dimension. One dimension can have more than one characteristic, provided it is not defined as a line item dimension.

Question #7: A, C

Once the info cubes are compressed it is not possible to delete data based on the requests. There won't be request IDs anymore. Requests can be deleted even if the requests in aggregates have been compressed. But the aggregates will have to be de-activated. Deleting an uncompressed request from an info cube will automatically delete the corresponding request from aggregate if the aggregate request has not been compressed.

Question #8: C

It is possible to delete requests from an ODS, even if the request has been activated. The "before and after image" of the data will be stored in the change log table using which the request will be deleted.

Deleting a request which has not been activated in ODS will not delete the requests which are loaded after this request. But if the request has been activated then the loaded and activated requests later will get deleted. Also the change log entries will be deleted for that request.

Question #9: A, B, C

Aggregates summarize and store data from an info cube. Characteristics and navigational attributes of an info cube can be used to create aggregates. Since aggregates contain summarized data, the amount of data in aggregates will be much less that the cube which makes the queries to run faster when they access aggregates.

Question #10: A

Newly-loaded requests in an info cube with aggregates will not be available for reporting until the aggregate rollup has been completed successfully. This is to make sure that the cube and aggregates are consistent while reporting.

Question #11: A

The primary purpose of multi-dimensional modeling is to present the business users in a way that corresponds their normal understanding of their business. They also provide a basis for easy access of data which is OLAP engine.

Question #12: A, B, C, D

BW allows partitioning of the info cubes based on time. If the info cube is partitioned, the e-fact table of the info cube will be partitioned on the time characteristic selected.

The F fact table is partitioned on request ids automatically during the loads. PSA tables are also partitioned during the loads and can accommodate more than one request. For an info cube to be partitioned, all data needs to be removed from the info cube.

Question #13: A, B, C, D

Query results are stored in the memory of application server, which can be retrieved later by another user running the same query. This will make the query faster since the results are already calculated and stored in the memory. By changing the query, the OLAP Cache gets invalidated.

Question #14: A, B

The communication structure contains all info objects in the info source and it is used to update the info cube by temporarily storing the data that needs to be updates to the data target. It doesn't depend on the source system.

Question #15: A, C

An ODS cannot be created without any data fields, and it can have a maximum of only 16 key fields. Key figures cannot be included as a key field in an ODS. The export data source is created after an ODS has been created and activated.
