Install Master Data Services (MDS)

-
The installation of Master Data Services consists of three steps as follows:

 1. Install required Windows roles and features
2. Install Master Data Services from the SQL Server installation media
3. Configure Master Data Services from the MDS Configuration Manager

 Windows roles and features installation
To install the Windows roles and features required for MDS, you can use Windows Server Manager or through a PowerShell script. To start the Windows roles and features installation using Windows Server Manager follow these steps:

1. Open Server Manager and click on Manage on the menu bar, then click Add Roles and Features from the drop-down menu options to launch the Add Roles and Features Wizard.

2. On the Select installation type window, select the “Role-based or feature-based installation” option as shown and click Next.













3. On the Select destination server window, click the checkbox for the “Select a server from the server pool” option and select the server where MDS will be installed from the Server Pool list.

4. On the Select server roles window, select “Web Server (IIS)” and click on the Add Features button from the pop-up window as shown and click Next.














5. On the Select features window, select the options as shown and click Next.













6. On the Select role services window, select the options as shown and click Next.


















7. On the Confirmation window, review changes and click Install to start the installation process. A restart may be required after the installation completes.

8. Click Close to close the Installation progress window.

Master Data Services installation
Master Data Services can be installed using the SQL Server Setup 2016 wizard or from the command prompt. To start the installation process using the SQL Server Setup 2016 Wizard, follow these steps:

1. Locate the SQL Server 2016 installation media and run Setup.exe. This will open the SQL Server 2016 Installation Center.

2. 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.

3. On the Microsoft Update window of the SQL Server 2016 Setup wizard, check the option
box to enable Microsoft Updates and click Next.

4. On the next window, select the installation type option Perform A New Installation Of
SQL Server 2016, if SQL Server 2016 services have not been installed or to install MDS on a new instance.
If there is already an installation of SQL Server 2016 services and you would like to add MDS to the existing instance, then 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 MDS to.

5. Once you have selected the installation type, click Next. On the Feature Selection window, select Master Data Services from the list as shown and click Next.















6. If installing a new instance of SQL Server, complete the setup process to configure the
new instance name, instance id, users and default data directories.

7. On the Ready to Install window, verify the SQL Server features to be installed and click
Install to start the installation process.

8. Once installation completes, click Close to exit the SQL Server setup wizard.

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

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
