CDW110 exam questions with correct
answers
CHAPTER 1-Caboodle Console - ** VERIFIED ANSWERS **✔✔The Caboodle Console is a web
application housed on the Caboodle server. It includes the following:
Dictionary
Dictionary Editor
Executions
Work Queue
Configuration
CHAPTER 1-Data Warehouse - ** VERIFIED ANSWERS **✔✔In a data warehouse, multiple
sources may load data pertaining to a single entity. This means that more than one package may
populate a given row in a Caboodle table. As a result, there may be multiple business key values
associated with a single entity in a Caboodle table.
CHAPTER 1-ETL - ** VERIFIED ANSWERS **✔✔Extract, Transform, Load
CHAPTER 1-SSIS Package - ** VERIFIED ANSWERS **✔✔The architecture of Caboodle
includes a staging database and a reporting database. Data is extracted from source systems (like
Clarity), transformed in the staging database, and presented for users in the reporting database. This
movement of data is realized via a set of SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) packages.
CHAPTER 1-Data Lineage - ** VERIFIED ANSWERS **✔✔Generally, data lineage refers to the
process of identifying the source of a specific piece of information. In Caboodle, data lineage is
defined at the package level.
CHAPTER 1-Star Schema - ** VERIFIED ANSWERS **✔✔The standard schema for a
dimensional data model. The name refers to the image of a fact table surrounded by many linked
dimension tables, which loosely resembles a star.
,The Caboodle data model structure is based on a "star schema" ‐ where one central fact table will
join to many associated lookup or dimension tables. This structure provides the foundation of the
Caboodle data model.
CHAPTER 1-DMC - ** VERIFIED ANSWERS **✔✔DATA MODEL COMPONENT
No table in Caboodle "stands alone." Each is considered part of a Data Model Component, which
refers to the collection of metadata tables that support the ETL process and reporting views stored in
the FullAccess schema.
Each DMC gets a type. Strict table naming conventions are followed in Caboodle, so that a table's
suffix provides information about its structure and purpose.
These suffixes are:
· Dim for dimensions (e.g. PatientDim)
· Fact for facts (e.g. EncounterFact)
· Bridge for bridges (e.g. DiagnosisBridge)
· DataMart for data marts (e.g. HospitalReadmissionDataMart)
· AttributeValueDim for EAV tables (e.g. PatientAttributeValueDim)
· X for custom tables (e.g. CustomFactX)
CHAPTER 1-Staging Database - ** VERIFIED ANSWERS **✔✔The Caboodle database into
which records are loaded by SSIS packages and stored procedures.
CHAPTER 1-Reporting Database - ** VERIFIED ANSWERS **✔✔The architecture of Caboodle
includes a staging database and a reporting database. Data is extracted from source systems (like
Clarity), transformed in the staging database, and presented for users in the reporting database. This
movement of data is realized via a set of SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS)
packages.
CHAPTER 1-Dbo Schema - ** VERIFIED ANSWERS **✔✔STAGING DATABASE
Import tables and Mapping tables live here. This is
primarily used by administrators for moving data into Caboodle.
, REPORTING DATABASE
The dbo schema stores reporting data and acts as the
data source for SlicerDicer. The Caboodle Dictionary reflects the contents of the dbo schema.
CHAPTER 1-FullAccess Schema - ** VERIFIED ANSWERS **✔✔STAGING DATABASE
The FullAccess schema does not exist on the Staging database.
REPORTING DATABASE
The FullAccess schema houses views that simplify reporting. FullAccess should be your default
schema when reporting.
CHAPTER 1-Identify key characteristics of the dimensional data model - ** VERIFIED
ANSWERS **✔✔MADE for report writers.
· Simpler and more intuitive.
· Easily extensible.
· More performant..
CHAPTER 1-Identify the benefits of the dimensional data model? - ** VERIFIED ANSWERS
**✔✔It centralizes its structure around more flexible fact and dimension tables, and the joins
between these are more intuitive.
CHAPTER 1-Identify documentation resources for reporting out of Caboodle - ** VERIFIED
ANSWERS **✔✔Caboodle Dictionary
Reporting with Caboodle document
Caboodle ER diagram
CHAPTER 1-Identify reporting needs that best fit Caboodle - ** VERIFIED ANSWERS
**✔✔Custom data packages can be written by Caboodle developers to accommodate your
organization's reporting needs.
