Install Data Quality Services

-
The installation of DQS is a two-step process which consists of running the SQL Server 2016 Setup wizard and a command prompt based application called the Data Quality Server Installer. To start the installation process, locate the SQL Server 2016 installation media and run Setup.exe. This will open the SQL Server 2016 Installation Center. Click on Installation menu option and then click on New SQL Server Stand-Alone Installation Or Add Features To An Existing Installation to launch the SQL Server 2016 Setup wizard.

Click Next. On the next window, select the installation type option Perform A New Installation of SQL Server 2016, if SQL Server 2016 Database Engine has not been previously installed. In this case, you will also need to install SQL Server 2016 Database Engine as it is required for Data Quality Services.

If there is already an installation of SQL Server 2016 Database Engine and you would like to add DQS to the existing instance, select Add Features To An Existing Instance Of SQL Server 2016. In this case, you will need to select the instance to which you will be adding Data Quality Services.














Once you have chosen the installation type, click Next. In the Feature Selection window, select Data Quality Services and Data Quality Client from the list.













The next step is to complete the Data Quality Services installation by running the Data Quality Server Installer. You can find a shortcut to this application in the Start menu under Microsoft SQL Server 2016>Data Quality Services folder. You can also find the application executable (DQSInstaller.exe) under “C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL13.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\Binn\”.

Execute the Data Quality Server Installer application. The DQS Installer runs on in command prompt window and displays the default values that will be used during the installation. Type Yes and press Enter to continue with the installation process.










As part of the installation process performed by DQS Installer, the following three databases get created on the SQL Server Database Engine instance:

1. DQS_MAIN
2. DQS_Projects
3. DQS_STAGING_DATA

Non-blocking, semi-blocking, and blocking transforms in SSIS

-
Not all Data Flow transforms are created equal. In fact, some are much faster and require a  lot less memory (non-blocking transforms). Others are slower while consuming much more  memory (blocking transforms), and some are in between (semi-blocking transforms). We don’t  always have a choice if we need to use a certain transform to do a certain specified task, but  it is good to know the differences between these types of transforms so that we can better  understand performance and resource utilization issues. Synchronous and asynchronous There is another related aspect about Data Flow transforms, which is their ability to quickly  process a row as they are coming into the transform, independently of any other rows that  came before or after (synchronous transforms). The other type of transform needs to be  dependent on some or all of the rows that come before and after (asynchronous transforms). On the whole, non-blocking transforms are also synchronous, thus are fast and

Implement additive, semi-additive, and non-additive measures

-
Additive Additive measures are numeric values that can be summed up by all the dimensions in the  fact table, for example the Sales Amount. These are the most common measures and they are  the easiest to understand and implement. Semi-additive Semi-additive measures are numeric values that can be summed up by some dimensions  in the fact table, but not all. In most cases, they can be aggregated by any other dimension  except time.  An example of a semi-additive measure is Account Balance. You can determine  the ending balance of an account at the end of a month, but adding up these monthly account  balances do not make sense. Semi-additive measures are usually found in fact tables that store  periodic snapshots of data. Non-additive Non-additive measures, as the name implies, are measures that cannot be summed up.  These measures include percentages such as Discount Percent, ratios such as Profit Margin, and  averages such as Average Unit Cost.

Design an appropriate storage solution, including hardware, disk, and file layout

The data warehouse storage’s performance can be measured by  analyzing the time it takes for read and write operations to complete, known as latency , and by  analyzing how much data volume it can read or write in each time frame, known as throughput .  High latency and low throughput can be an indication of an improper selection for the  storage infrastructure or incorrect hardware and software configurations. Performance of a storage subsystem can  be estimated based on several criteria: Volume of data Rate of change and growth of the data Data retention policy Number of concurrent users Typical workloads expected Two important metrics associated with storage are throughput and Input/Output Per  Second (IOPS) . Throughput is a measure of the amount of data that can be transferred in a  period. This is typically measured in megabytes or gigabytes per second. IOPS is the number of  I/O read or write operations that can complete in a second.  It is important
