Answers
CHAPTER 1-Caboodle Console - Correct answer-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 - Correct answer-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 - Correct answer-Extract, Transform, Load

,CHAPTER 1-SSIS Package - Correct answer-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 - Correct answer-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 - Correct answer-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 - Correct answer-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 - Correct answer-The Caboodle database into
which records are loaded by SSIS packages and stored procedures.
CHAPTER 1-Reporting Database - Correct answer-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

data source for SlicerDicer. The Caboodle Dictionary reflects the contents of the
dbo schema.
CHAPTER 1-FullAccess Schema - Correct answer-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 - Correct
answer-MADE for report writers.
· Simpler and more intuitive.
