DP-600 Maintain a Data Analytics Solution Practice Question
You manage a Microsoft Fabric workspace containing a Lakehouse and several semantic models. You need to implement a data lineage solution that traces data transformations from the original source files ingested into the OneLake landing zone down to the Power BI reports consumed by business users. Which Fabric feature should you use to achieve this requirement natively?
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Open the workspace lineage view to inspect visual relationships and downstream dependencies across all connected items automatically.
Microsoft Fabric provides built-in lineage views that automatically trace dependencies and relationships between data sources, OneLake artifacts, notebooks, and Power BI semantic models. This native integration eliminates the need for external tools and ensures governance and impact analysis can be performed seamlessly across the entire analytical lifecycle, which is vital when debugging broken pipelines or planning structural workspace modifications.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Configure Azure Monitor workbook alerts to capture and map incoming data streaming events from OneLake to downstream reports.
Why it's wrong here
Azure Monitor and Log Analytics are utilized for tracking infrastructure performance metrics, operational health, and custom telemetry logs. They do not automatically parse or display the structural artifact relationships and transformations native to the Fabric workspace workspace environment.
- ✗
Deploy custom Python scripts inside a Fabric notebook to extract workspace metadata using REST APIs and store relationships in an external SQL database.
Why it's wrong here
While Fabric REST APIs can extract workspace metadata programmatically, writing custom extraction routines and external storage solutions introduces unnecessary maintenance overhead and reinvents functionality natively provided within the Fabric user interface.
- ✓
Open the workspace lineage view to inspect visual relationships and downstream dependencies across all connected items automatically.
Why this is correct
The workspace lineage view provides an automated visual representation showing how data flows from sources through items like notebooks and Lakehouses to final semantic models and reports, enabling effective impact analysis without writing extra code.
- ✗
Export Power BI Desktop template files (.pbit) and analyze the data source connection strings using XMLA endpoints.
Why it's wrong here
XMLA endpoints and template files are helpful for inspecting tabular model definitions and programmatic deployments, but they only reveal dataset-level connections and fail to provide a comprehensive, end-to-end lineage of upstream Lakehouse and notebook transformations.
