Question 1

An administrator is checking the current activities and recognizes one activity with several successful tasks with two still running. The administrator cancels this activity.

Where will this activity be shown?

AIn the past activities with status canceled.

BIn the past activities with status succeeded.

CIn the current activities with status canceled.

DIt will be automatically rescheduled under upcoming activities.

Answer : A

Note: Users can access Current Activities, Past Activities, Upcoming Activities and Schedules on the Status tab in IBM Cognos Administration to monitor the server activities and manage schedules.

Question 2

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 3

An administrator is managing authentication namespaces and needs to delete a namespace.

Which statement is true?

ATo recreate a namespace that was previously deleted in IBM Cognos Configuration, a unique ID must be used.

BAfter a namespace has been deleted in IBM Cognos Configuration, it no longer appears in the directory tool.

CAn inactive namespace in the directory tool is one that was configured, but later deleted in IBM Cognos Configuration.

DIf a namespace is deleted in IBM Cognos Configuration and is no longer required, any authenticated member of the namespace can delete in permanently in the directory tool.

Answer : D

When you delete a namespace, you can no longer log on to the namespace. Security data for the namespace remains in Content Manager until you permanently delete it in the portal.

Question 4

An administrator wants to implement load balancing without using an external load balancing mechanism.

What is one approach that can be used to achieve this?

ASet up a standby Content Manager.

BInstall a gateway on each database server.

CConfigure dispatchers together with the content stores.

DConfigure gateways to direct all traffic to a dedicated dispatcher.

Answer : C

If your installation includes more than one dispatcher, you can specify the proportion of requests that each dispatcher handles by changing their processing capacity. This is commonly referred to as load balancing. You typically set the capacity for a dispatcher based on the CPU speed of the computer where it is installed.

Question 5

An administrator has set up audit logging but needs to diagnose, trace, and filter for a specific user during peak period of system usage.

How can this be done?

ADelete the appended ipfclientconfig.xml in the install_location\configuration directory.

BIncrease the logging level to search for the user's first/last name in the audit logging tables.

CSet up the Audit Reports package and open the ''Users and Reports report'', and filter on the user id.

DConnect to the JMX Remote Process service by launching jconsole executable and using the CAMID and enable Dye Trace.

Answer : B

Use audit logs to view information about IBM Cognos Mobile user and report activity.

For Audit logging level for mobile service, select any value except for Minimal.

The following logging levels can be specified to enable audit logging: Basic, Request, Trace, and Full. The Minimal logging level disables audit logging.

Question 6

A report author gets the following error message:

''An error has occurred. Please contact your administrator. The complete error has been logged by CAF with SecureErrorID:2004-05-25-15:44:11.296-#9.''

How can the administrator get the complete error message?

AOpen the cogerror.log file using a text editor.

BOpen the cogserver.log file using a text editor.

CRun the user report errors audit report from the samples Audit package.

DRun the user session details audit report from the samples Audit package.

Answer : B

To find out about the actual error though an administrator with file access to the server log (cogserver.log) will need to search that log for the SecureErrorID given in the on-screen message.

Question 7

After a user added numerous schedules, the Content Store database has been locked because some schedules contain invalid data.

What can an administrator do, to prevent the system from being locked in the future?

ARestrict the ability to create schedules to the Administrator only.

BSelect the delivery service inside IBM Cognos Configuration and set the schedule validation property to true.

CMake sure that every schedule created by a user will be verifies with the validation button inside the schedule mask.

DGo to the Dispatcher options, select Event Manager Service and set the advanced property
emf.schedule.validation.enabled to true.

Answer : B

InIBM Cognos Analytics, when numerous schedules are added or updated, the content store database can lock if the schedules contain invalid data. If you experience this problem, you can set an advanced property that validates schedule properties and disables invalid schedules.

If the emf.schedule.validation.enabled property is set to true, schedule properties such as start date, end date, data types, and user account credentials are validated. Invalid schedules that are encountered are disabled, and details of the disabled schedules are logged in the log files.

The default for this property is false. To enable schedule validation, set the property to true.
