Where will this activity be shown?

AIn the past activities with status canceled.

BIn the past activities with status succeeded.

Question 2

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 3

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 4

An administrator wants to ensure that a datasource can be referenced when creating data modules in the IBM Cognos Analytics Portal (New > Data module).

What must be done to accomplish this?

AAdd the datasource to the list of supported datasources in IBM Cognos Configuration.

BConfigure the datasource in IBM Cognos Transformer so that it can communicate with the portal.

CIn the web-based modeling tool itself, specify the 'Create Data Modules' access permission for the datasource.

DOn the Connection tab of the datasource properties, ensure that the 'Allow web-based modeling' check box is selected.

Answer : D

Problem(Abstract): Datasource connections not listed in Data server by default

Symptom: We can see the datasource in the Admin console but not in the list of data servers.

Cause: This is default behavior.

Resolving the problem

Go to the Administrative Console -> Configuration -> Set properties -> Connections tab.

On the bottom, you will see 'Data source capabilities'

Inside that, check the box which says 'Allow web-based modeling'

Once you check this, the datasource would be present as data server.

Question 5

An administrator needs to address an environment that is not running optimally and conduct an architecture review.

Which performance attributes should be considered?

Acapacity, scalability, availability

Bgateways, application servers, Content Manager

CIBM Cognos implementation, capacity, infrastructure

Dinfrastructure, gateways, application servers, scalability

Answer : C

Conduct an architecture review to assess the physical architecture and software installation.

Question 6

What is the role of Cognos Access Manager (CAM)?

ATo serve as the relational database that stores user data.

BTo implement authentication, authorization, and encryption.

CTo start all services that have been enabled and configured.

DTo route requests from the gateway to local services for execution.

Answer : B

Access Manager provides a centralized environment to define, store, and maintain security information for IBM Cognos business information applications.

In one central location, you can set up and maintain secure user access to data, such as cubes and reports, that are created in other IBM Cognos applications. With Access Manager, you can also set up and maintain user signon information and auto-access privileges for the data sources and servers that contain the required data.

Question 7

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
