Instructions:
  • Answer 50 questions in 15 minutes.
  • If you are not ready to take this test, you can study here.
  • Match each statement with the correct term.
  • Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.

This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.
1. User reporting requirements - Query performance - Data volume - DB Maintenance






2. SUM - AVG - Standard Deviation - Moving Average - Correlation - U-tiling

6. You can e-mail reports by going to _____






7. Store info about attributes - including IDs and any descriptions. Used for easier browsing.






8. A condition data must meet - created "on-the-fly" - in order to be included in a report. Does not affect the SQL.






9. Represent business performance. Typically numeric. Must be aggregated to produce a meaningful result. Are directly linked to columns in the data-warehouse.






10. The Attribute Form Expression that maps to a single column - no matter the number of tables






11. Cube analysis - Derived elements - In-memory OLAP with use of report objects - View filters - Derived metrics






12. Enables you to rearrange the columns and rows in a report.






13. All report-level options overwrite ___________.






14. Create attribute ID form - Create attribute description forms - Select lookup table(s) - Create attribute relationships






15. Data is read-only - Data is aligned by business subject - Data formatting is uniform - Data is long-term data (2-5+ years)






16. Cannot be directly put onto a Report - must be aggregated in a Metric - which can be added to a Report






17. Attributes must be homogeneous - Attributes can only have simple form expressions - No more than 2 attribute forms (usually an ID and primary description)






18. Used to limit a possibly overwhelming set of potential prompt answers






19. 1 - Form definition 2 - Form general info 3 - Form category 4 - Form format






20. Enables you to specify the order in which the data in a report for a particular row/column appears; ascending or descending






21. Facts associated to different column names in 2 or more tables






22. 1 - List info from the data source 2 - Identify facts 3 - Identify attributes 4 - Determine direct attribute relationships 5 - Organize hierarchies






23. The report will retreive data for all Objects under the report definition (regardless of whether or not they exist on the template)






24. One that uses 2 or more columns as its ID






25. A simplified version of Desktop - providing interactive "slice-&-dice" capabilities






26. OLTP retains data ________






27. The intersection between a data-warehouse - Metadata repository and a user community. It contains objects such as reports - filters - templates and metrics.






28. Specifies a condition data must meet in order to be included in a report






29. Reduced number of JOINS in the generated SQL






30. Normalized: No data redundancy - Moderately Denormalized: Some data redundancy with shared Table Keys - Completely Denormalized: Lots of data redundancy with shared Table Keys and description columns






31. Used to dynamically alter the contents of a report. With prompts - you can determine at run-time the objects you want to retreive for a report and filtering conditions.






32. Simple: 1 fact to 1 column - Derived: 1 fact to an expression that combines multiple facts to create a derived expression






33. Simple: Single column unique identifier - Compound: 2 or more columns per unique identifier






34. Groupings of directly related attributes. Also commonly known as "dimensions".






35. A subset of a report that users can manipulate without altering the SQL

37. An add-on product to the Intelligence Server to greatly enhance the type of analysis you can perform






38. The Attribute Form maps to the same column name in multiple tables






39. Attributes - Metrics - Hierachies - Consolidations - Custom Groups - Object Prompts






40. ID columns - Description columns - Fact columns






41. It creates the System Hierarchy - when you define Attributes and their corresponding relationships






42. Schema Objects - Application Objects - Configuration Objects






43. Must have a one-to-one relationship with all other forms.






44. Attribute Qualification: A condition an attribute element must meet - Set Qualification: To restrict report results based on a Metric - Shortcut to a Report: A resultset of an existing report - Shortcut to a Filter: To use 1 or more existing filters






45. A feature that enables users to delivers reports to the history list - cache or mobile






46. MS Excel - MS Word - MS Access - PDF - HTML - Plain text






47. Fact Creation Wizard: Used to create simple - homogeneous facts - Fact Editor: Used to create derived - heterogeneous facts






48. What tool do you use to create the Metadata shell?






49. 3 Ways: - Metric Value: Qualifies on a Metric value - Rank: Qualifies on a numeric rank of Metric values - Percent: Qualifies on the % of a Metric value being ranked






50. Made up of attributes - facts - metrics - etc. that make up the Metadata. All project info is stored in the Metadata.
