Question 540
At Oakridge Public Services, the citizen data administration team maintains a municipal case-management and application database platform with requirements for reproducible configuration and controlled access. The acceptance review requires independent evidence for: A database task's schedule is stored as a local engineer's calendar reminder, so it stops running when that employee leaves. Which observed result BEST proves the intended problem is corrected?
Explanation
Correct Answer
The task runs on schedule after the engineer's account is disabled and the operations team receives completion evidence. That observable result supports resolution of: A database task's schedule is stored as a local engineer's calendar reminder, so it stops running when that employee leaves. The corresponding corrective change is: Move the work to a managed scheduled automation mechanism with a service identity, ownership metadata and alerting. The Oakridge Public Services reviewer can distinguish demonstrated database behavior from an untested change claim.
Incorrect Answers
The elastic job runs against the intended target databases and excludes an unapproved database from execution. That result is evidence for another corrective change: Create supported Azure SQL elastic jobs with a job agent, credentials, target groups and the minimum required permissions. The alternative problem is: A company wants the same integrity check applied to hundreds of Azure SQL Database single databases but assumes each hosts SQL Server Agent. The current Oakridge Public Services issue is instead: A database task's schedule is stored as a local engineer's calendar reminder, so it stops running when that employee leaves. Its decisive acceptance evidence would be: The task runs on schedule after the engineer's account is disabled and the operations team receives completion evidence.
An investigator can reconstruct a controlled database change from job and deployment records without relying on personal messages. That result is evidence for another corrective change: Record structured task identity, target resource, input version, start and end times and step results in protected logs. The alternative problem is: An operations team stores only the last successful task timestamp and cannot determine which automated SQL change caused an incident. The current Oakridge Public Services issue is instead: A database task's schedule is stored as a local engineer's calendar reminder, so it stops running when that employee leaves. Its decisive acceptance evidence would be: The task runs on schedule after the engineer's account is disabled and the operations team receives completion evidence.
The runbook completes the authorized scale action while source code and job output contain no reusable password. That result is evidence for another corrective change: Use an appropriately scoped managed identity or secure automation credential design and eliminate embedded administrator passwords. The alternative problem is: An Azure Automation runbook performs a database scale operation with a stored SQL administrator password despite supporting managed identity authentication. The current Oakridge Public Services issue is instead: A database task's schedule is stored as a local engineer's calendar reminder, so it stops running when that employee leaves. Its decisive acceptance evidence would be: The task runs on schedule after the engineer's account is disabled and the operations team receives completion evidence.
