Which permission should you use? (More than one answer choice may achieve the goal. Select the BEST answer.)

Answer

Suggested Answer

The suggested answer is C.

* Giving a database role permission to process an Analysis Services database means that the role has permission to perform all processing options on the database. This includes the processing of all cubes, dimensions, mining structures, and mining models in the database. However, the role does not have permission to read database metadata or access any data in the database itself.
Question 4 of 190

  • The processing must load data into partitions or tables.
  • The processing must not rebuild hierarchies or relationships.
  • The processing must not recalculate calculated columns.

You need to implement a processing strategy for the database to meet the requirements.

Which processing mode should you use?

Answer

Suggested Answer

The suggested answer is C.

Process Add: This processing mode is available for Dimensions, Measure Groups and Partitions. When this processing mode is applied to Dimensions, it adds new members into the dimensions from the underlying database and updates the descriptions of the attributes. When this processing mode is applied to Measure
Groups and Partitions, it adds the incremental fact data into the cube and processes only the affected partitions.
Incorrect Answers:
B: Process Data: This processing mode is available for Dimensions, Measure Groups, Partitions, and Cubes. This processing mode is used to process the data without actually building or creating the aggregations and indexes.
