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. Combining 1 or more metric objects with 1 or more mathematical operations or constants. May include simple - nested or other compound metrics.






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






3. What tool do you use to create the Metadata DSN connection?






4. Architect Graphical Interface _____________ - Does not support transformations or other advanced architect techniques - Does not auto-save






5. The Attribute Form maps to different column names in multiple tables






6. Filter definition prompts - Object prompts - Value prompts - Level prompts






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






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






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






10. Contains info that facilitates the transfer of data from the source systems to the data-warehouse






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






12. To change the display of a report - including alignments - fonts - borders and backgrounds. You can format report headers - values or both.






13. You must select "Other directions" when drilling attributes while viewing a report






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






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






16. The unique values of an attribute obtained from the data-warehouse






17. A condition data must meet in order to be included in a report. Does affect the SQL.






18. Less storage - Simple SQL - Complex ETL






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






20. Define the analytical calculations to perform on the data-warehouse. Made up of Facts.






21. Must have Subtotals enabled - or you won't see any data for higher-level attributes






22. Create the Project Source - Create the Database Instance






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






24. Prompts to select filtering criteria from hierarchies - attributes - attribute element lists - and metrics.






25. The Attribute Form Expression that maps to multiple columns from the same table. May also contain an operator (aggregation).






26. Create an empty Metadata database - Create the Metadata DSN connection - Create the Metadata shell






27. Subtotals reflect accumulations at selected attribute levels






28. Based on facts or attributes - Place at least 1 aggregation inside of another - Include 1 or more level definitions - May include 1 or more conditions - May include 1 or more transformations






29. Source Systems - ETL Processes - Data-Warehouse - Metadata - MSTR Applications






30. It contains the ID column of all higher-level attributes






31. Up: To see data at a higher-level attribute of the same hierarchy - Down: To see data at a lower-level attribute of the same hierarchy - Other Directions: To see data at any level of any hierarchy






32. Provide convenient paths for browsing attribute data - as defined by the user. They don't follow the logical model. May not consist of directly related attributes.






33. OLTP data storage measure






34. Prompts to specify the level of a metric. They are not placed directly on a report - but rather embeded in a metric.






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






36. Metrics aggregate on the lowest-level attribute __________.






37. Facts - Attributes - Hierarchies






38. Seach for - Object name - Object ID - Object location - Object date range - Object type - Object owner






39. Level of OLAP integration
