Question 1

A user needs to create a data module that uses a datasource named MyDatabase.

What actions must be taken to enable the user to access this datasource?

AUsing Manage, click on Data servers, click on + and choose the appropriate database type, name the connection ''MyDatabase'' and supply the appropriate connection details to connect to the data source.

BUsing New, click on Data Module, select Data servers, click on the + to add a new data server, choose the appropriate database type, name the connection ''MyDatabase'' and supply the appropriate connection details to connect to the data source.

CUsing Manage, click on Administration console, then click on ''New Data Source'' within the Data Source Connections option under the Configuration tab. Select the appropriate database type, name the data source ''MyDatabase'' and supply the appropriate connection details to connect to the data source.

DUsing Manage, click on Administration console, then click on ''New Data Server'' within the Data Source Connections option under the Configuration tab. Select the appropriate database type, name the data source ''MyDatabase'' and supply the appropriate connection details to connect to the data source.

Answer : C

You can combine multiple sources into one data module. After you add a source, click Add sources (Add a data source.) in Selected sources to add another source.

Question 2

An administrator wants to exclude Request level logging details from being captured.

Which logging level must be set?

ABasic logging level

BTrace logging level

CVerbose logging level

DRequest logging level is turned on by default

Answer : A

The higher you set the logging level, the more it degrades system performance. Normally, you set the level to Minimal or Basic to collect errors, or to Request to collect errors and warnings.

Note: Report validation levels and logging levels

Question 3

The following distributed environment has been configured:

The administrator wants to limit writes to the audit database connection from the Content Manager server only.

What needs to be configured?

AThe Content Store configuration has to be set up on the application tiers servers.

BIn advanced settings, add the parameter RSVP.logging.databasecontrol with the value <Content Manager Server>:<Port>.

CAn advanced routing has to be configured in Cognos Administration audit requests from application tiers routed to Content Manager server.

DOn the Content Manager server configure the audit database, on the application tier servers create a Remote log server configuration to the Content Manager log server.

Answer : C

If a request should be subject to Advanced Routing, then the client which send the request is responsible for calling CM to evaluate Routing Rules and put the Server Group Information into the request passed to a Dispatcher.

Question 4

An administrator is evaluating system status using the Scorecard pane on the Status > System page in the IBM Cognos Administration console.

Which statement is true?

AIf a service is disabled in IBM Cognos Configuration, it is listed in the Scorecard pane.

BThe status that is displayed for each entry reflects the lowest status for all child entries.

CA status of Available is displayed when at least 80% of the child entries have a status of Available.

DA status of Unavailable is displayed when at least 80% of the child entries have a status of Unavailable.

Answer : B

The metric score for each entry is based on the performance of individual child entries. The status that is displayed for each entry is the lowest status of the child entries. For example, if all the metrics for a dispatcher are good, but one service on that dispatcher has a poor metric, the metric score shown for the dispatcher is poor.

Status is one of the following:

Question 5

The database containing the Content Store crashed. The administrator needs to restore the Content Store in its entirely including all of the configuration settings that were defined.

What must be done to recover the configuration settings?

AThe configuration settings are automatically included when running the import.

BManually apply the settings because configuration settings are not a part of the Content Store deployment.

CConfiguration settings are not included in the Content Store deployment. The parameter CM.DEPLOYMENTINCLUDECONFIGURATION must be set to true on the ContentManagerService prior to running the Content Store export deployment.

DConfiguration settings are included in the Content Store deployment but not included in the import unless you set the parameter CM.DEPLOYMENTINCLUDECONFIGURATION to true on the ContentManagerService before running the import.

Answer : C

Specify if Configuration Objects and Children are Part of Deployment.

You can specify if configuration objects and their children are included as part of deployment. By default, they are not included.

You can change the default setting using the advanced setting

CM.DEPLOYMENTINCLUDECONFIGURATION.

By default, it is set to False (do not include configuration objects in deployments).

To change the default to include configuration objects and their children, set it to True.

Question 6

All users have unrestricted access in a secured environment.

What must be modified to control this access?

ADelete the ''All Authenticated Users'' group.

BDisable anonymous access using IBM Cognos Configuration.

CModify the advanced properties of the authorization namespace.

DRemove the ''Everyone'' group from the ''System Administrators'' role.

Answer : B

You can disable the Anonymous user account by changing the configuration parameters in the configuration tool.

This entry represents a user account shared by members of the general public who can access IBM Cognos software without being prompted for authentication. For example, this type of access is useful when distributing an online catalog.

Anonymous users can see only those entries for which access permissions are not set, or are set specifically for this account or for the Everyone group.

Question 7

An administrator created a Content Store export and included the user account information.

How can a listing of the content be exported?

AWithin the export, ensure the Recording level option is set to Trace.

BBy default when the Content Store is backed up, a full detailed listing is generated and available in the Logs folder.

CModify the Advanced settings on the ContentManagerService by adding the parameter
CM.DeploymentDetailEntireContent with a value of true.

DModify the Advanced settings on the ContentManagerService by adding the parameter
CM.DeploymentIncludeConfiguration with a value of true.

Answer : D

You can specify if configuration objects and their children are included as part of deployment. By default, they are not included.

You can change the default setting using the advanced setting

CM.DEPLOYMENTINCLUDECONFIGURATION.

By default, it is set to False (do not include configuration objects in deployments).

To change the default to include configuration objects and their children, set it to True.
