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 4

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.

Question 5

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.
