Question 1

In a LifeCycle Manager Project, a user can create either a Benchmark task or a Comparison task.

Which statement is INCORRECT when describing the application of Benchmark tasks?

ABenchmark tasks can be used as a benchmark test for any LifeCycle Manager Project.

BBenchmark tasks can be used to create a benchmark test to run Compatible Query Mode (CQM) reports as Dynamic Query (DQ) reports.

CWhen creating a Benchmark task, the administrator can choose whether to validate reports before they are run, and whether to run the reports in Dynamic Query Mode (DQM).

DTo use a previously run Benchmark, select a previously created Benchmark task for the benchmark source and the target Cognos server that you want to compare to the benchmark.

Answer : C

Question 2

An administrator is implementing security by managing and working with the Cognos namespace.

Which statement is true?

ATo gain access to IBM Cognos Analytics, users can log on to the Cognos namespace.

BCreate domain users in the Cognos namespace to avoid cluttering the existing authentication provider.

CUser-defined groups and roles must be created in a 3rd-party authentication provider and cannot be created in the Cognos namespace.

DAlthough the use of the predefined and built-in groups and roles within the Cognos namespace is optional, the Cognos namespace cannot be deleted.

Answer : D

The Cognos namespace includes predefined objects to help you quickly set up initial security.

You use the predefined objects and other features of the Cognos namespace for ongoing security management.

You can create groups and roles in the Cognos namespace.

Initial access permissions are applied to all predefined objects. You can modify the permissions from the object properties.

Question 3

An administrator wants to start the LifeCycle Manager service.

How can this be done?

AOpen IBM Cognos Configuration and start the service.

BOpen Administrative tools, Services, and start the LCM service.

CUse the lcm_start.bat command from a command prompt window.

DType the URL in a browser, http://server_name:port_number/lcm_servlet/webcontent/app/main.

Answer : C

Before users can start working in Cognos LifeCycle Manager, you must start the Cognos LifeCycle Manager web application.

Procedure

Start the Cognos LifeCycle Manager server:

On a Microsoft Windows system, from the Start menu, click LCM Start.

You can also type the following command in a command prompt window, from the Cognos LifeCycle Manager install location. Depending on where Cognos LifeCycle Manager is installed, you might have to run the command prompt window as an administrator.

lcm_start.bat

On a Linux system, run the server start script

install_location/lcm_start.sh

Start the Cognos LifeCycle Manager web application:

On a Microsoft Windows system, from the Start menu, click LCM URI.

Type the following URL in your browser:

http://server_name:port_number/lcm_servlet/app/main

Question 4

Why would an administrator use IPF (Indication Processing Facility) logging?

AAs a wrapper tool for gateway related errors.

BTo process the audit logging data and write it to the audit database.

CAs a wrapper for log4j to configure what information is written to log files.

DFor tracing performance and communication between XQE and the BIBus.

Answer : C

Some error messages may contain sensitive information, such as server names. By default, error message details in IBM Cognos software are routed to IPF log files, and the secure error message option is enabled. The information presented to users indicates only the occurrence of an error, without any details.

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.
