CDW 110v Caboodle Data Model
Fundamentals ACTUAL UPDATED
Questions and CORRECT Answers
Caboodle Dictionary - CORRECT ANSWER - Basic metadata for tables. Find
Descriptions of tables and columns available in data model. Identify tables that can be linked
together.
Caboodle Dictionary Editor - CORRECT ANSWER - In depth view of Caboodle ETL
packages and data lineage. Shows Clarity tables data that extracted from when populating tables,
which ETL packages are used by Caboodle tables and dependencies amongst the tables in
Caboodle.
Caboodle Executions - CORRECT ANSWER - Where Caboodle administrators can create,
edit, run and monitor executions. Can be used to schedule recurring executions.
Caboodle Workqueues - CORRECT ANSWER - Logs the different types of issues that can
occur during the ETL process that require manual intervention to resolve.
Caboodle configurations - CORRECT ANSWER - modify settings, perform
customizations such as adding attributes to the data model and view reports related to Caboodle
configuration and operation.
Caboodle BI Developers - CORRECT ANSWER - write Caboodle reports and should have
access to the Caboodle Dictionary on the Console. Dictionary provides table descriptions, data
lineage for tables and columns and foreign key information. BI Developers should be familiar
with Caboodles dimensional data model and at least one area of healthcare reportings such as
revenue or clinical reporting.
Caboodle Administrators - CORRECT ANSWER - have access to all activities on the
Caboodle Console. Administrators monitor executions, troubleshoot work queue errors and
establish system level configurations.
, Caboodle ETL Developers - CORRECT ANSWER - create custom EPIC and n on Epic
content for extraction into the data warehouse, document their work in the dictionary editor and
test their work using the ETL tools available in the console. Custom development notes and
documentation relevant to report writers will be visible in the dictionary.
Why use Caboodle - CORRECT ANSWER - Accessibility, Efficiency and fewer tables
and simpler joins.
SSIS package - CORRECT ANSWER - SQL Server Integration packages : Data is
extracted from source systems (Clarity) transformed in the staging database and presented for
users in the reporting database.
DMCs - CORRECT ANSWER - Data Model Components
Data Model Compenents - CORRECT ANSWER - collection of metadata tables that
support the ETL process and reporting views stored in the FullAccess schema.
DMC type and suffixes - CORRECT ANSWER - Each DMC gets a type and suffix. Dim
for dimensions, Fact for facts, Bridge for bridges, Datamart for data marts, AttributeValueDim
for EAV tables, X for custom tables
Caboodle Star Schema - CORRECT ANSWER - where one central fact table will join to
many associated lookup or dimension tables.
Dimensional Data Model - CORRECT ANSWER - This structure intentionally makes
some compromises to the normalized data model used by Clarity in order to facilitate report
writing. The trade off is that it requires more complicated ETL process to maintain.
Caboodle consists of a reporting database and a staging database - CORRECT ANSWER -
