Question 3

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 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

An administrator sees that an environment has a long startup time and wants to remedy the issue.

Which solution should be used?

ASet load balancing to cluster compatible.

BCheck the Fast Startup option under IBM Cognos Configuration.

CIncrease the size of the JVM heap by selecting Large configuration.

DReduce the size of the Content Store through archiving and removal.

Answer : A

If your IBM Cognos servers operate within a load balancing infrastructure, you can turn off the weighted round robin format of load balancing for the dispatcher. Otherwise, load balancing may be duplicated by the cluster and by IBM Cognos software, which can degrade performance.

You can set the dispatcher property named loadBalancingMode either to weightedRoundRobin or clusterCompatible.

Question 7

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.
