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.

Question 2

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 3

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 4

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 5

An administrator must troubleshoot query execution related issues in a DQM executed report.

How is this achieved?

ABy default, settings to trace DQM Query execution are enabled in the system.

BOpen IBM Cognos Configuration, under IBM Cognos Services/IBM Cognos, select QueryService and check Enable Query execution trace and view logs in /logs/XQE

COpen IBM Cognos Administration portal, on the Configuration tab, select Dispatchers and locate QueryService and check Enable Query execution trace and view logs in /logs/XQE

DEdit the install_location/configuration/qfs_config.xml.sample file and set , save as qfs_config.xml, restart services.

Answer : C

A query execution trace (run tree trace) shows queries that run against a data source. You use the trace to troubleshoot query-related issues.

You can find execution trace logs in the following location:

c10_location/logs/XQE/reportName/runtreeLog.xml.

Question 6

An administrator is configuring settings for the Cognos Analytics Mobile app.

Which settings can be managed?

ATo store the user credentials in the IBM Cognos Mobile app.

BThe maximum number of minutes to store cached credentials.

CAllow the user to create an image (screenshot) of the Active Report.

DThe maximum number of Active Reports to store locally on the mobile device.

Answer : B

Policy settings

These settings define how to deliver Cognos Analytics content to mobile applications.

Question 7

A CQM report successfully runs in another environment but fails in IBM Cognos Analytics. Environments are identical except for the versions.

How could the issue be identified?

APerform a UDA trace.

BModify the ipfserverconfig.xml.

CIncrease the logging level of the Query service.

DRestart the IBM Cognos Analytics service to eliminate all remaining BIBus processes.

Answer : B

The method for performing a UDA trace is different in Cognos 10 to previous versions due to the removal of the Cognos Logging Console Program. This is specific to CQM datasources.

Please follow these steps:

This trace records all database activity so should be turned off as soon as the possible.
