IBM C2090-623 Online Questions & Answers

• Question 11:

  An environment has twenty dispatchers. The administrator wants to change one property to the same value for all dispatchers. How can that be accomplished?

  A. This can be accomplished if all dispatchers are put inside a folder.
  B. This can be accomplished by changing the desired property for the configuration.
  C. This cannot be accomplished unless the property value is changed for each dispatcher.
  D. This can be accomplished by selecting all dispatchers at once and changing the desired property.
  A. This can be accomplished if all dispatchers are put inside a folder.

  ---

  Grouping dispatchers in configuration folders.

  Configuration folders are useful to organize dispatchers if your installation includes many dispatchers. You can group dispatchers so that you can apply the same configuration settings once to all the dispatchers and services in the folder.

  Note: You can have more than one dispatcher in your IBM Cognos environment. In such distributed installations one dispatcher is configured for every instance of the Content Manager or Application Tier Components that are installed and

  configured in your environment.

• Question 12:

  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?

  A. Perform a UDA trace.
  B. Modify the ipfserverconfig.xml.
  C. Increase the logging level of the Query service.
  D. Restart the IBM Cognos Analytics service to eliminate all remaining BIBus processes.
  B. Modify the ipfserverconfig.xml.

  ---

  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:

  1.

  Navigate to /configuration

  2.

  Rename ipfUDAclientconfig.xml.sample it to ipfclientconfig.xml

  3.

  Wait 30 seconds

  4.

  Now run any reports that you wish to use the trace on.

  5.

  After running the reports the trace will generate a file named "UDA_Trace.log" within /logs. The log name and location can be changed by the user by editing the ipfclientconfig.xml file.

  6.

  Rename ipfclientconfig.xml to ipfUDAclientconfig.xml.sample to turn off the tracing.

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

• Question 13:

  An administrator is attempting to import a backup of the entire Content Store into an existing Content Store. What is an instance of when an object will be kept by the default conflict resolution rule?

  A. There are not any conflict resolution rules applied when importing the entire Content Store. All objects will be replaced.
  B. When the object is OUTPUT, GRAPHIC or PAGE and the CM.DEPLOYMENTKEEPERREPORTOUTPUT parameter is set to True.
  C. When the object is OUTPUT, GRAPHIC or PAGE and the CM.DEPLOYMENTUSERREPORTOUTPUT parameter is set to True.
  D. When the object is CACHEOUTPUT, SESSION or REPORTCACHE, REPORTMETADATACACHE or DEPLOYMENTDETAIL.
  D. When the object is CACHEOUTPUT, SESSION or REPORTCACHE, REPORTMETADATACACHE or DEPLOYMENTDETAIL.

  ---

  The default conflict resolution rule for deploying the entire content store is replace. Exceptions to the default conflict resolution rule are listed in the following table:

  Object name: SESSION, CACHEOUTPUT, REPORTCACHE, REPORTMETADATACACHE, DEPLOYMENTDETAIL Conflict Resolution Rule: Keep

• Question 14:

  Which attribute can an administrator enable to prevent malicious scripts from reading or manipulating the CAM passport cookie during a user's session with their Web browser?

  A. cc_session
  B. userCapabilities
  C. Secure flag enabled?
  D. Enable CAF validation?
  B. userCapabilities

  ---

  The userCapabilities cookie, with the Session temporary type, contains all capabilities and the signature for the current user.

  Incorrect Answers:

  A: The cc_session cookie just holds session information

  References: https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSEP7J_11.0.0/com.ibm.swg.ba.cognos.inst_cr_winux.doc/c_configurewebbrowsers.html

• Question 15:

  An administrator wants to exclude Request level logging details from being captured. Which logging level must be set?

  A. Basic logging level
  B. Trace logging level
  C. Verbose logging level
  D. Request logging level is turned on by default
  A. Basic logging level

  ---

  The higher you set the logging level, the more it degrades system performance. Normally, you set the level to Minimal or Basic to collect errors, or to Request to collect errors and warnings.

  Note: Report validation levels and logging levels Report validation level, Logging level Error: Minimal, Basic Warning: Request Key Transformation: Trace Information: Full

  References: https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSEP7J_11.0.0/com.ibm.swg.ba.cognos.ug_cra.doc/c_logginglevels.html

• Question 16:

  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?

  A. Benchmark tasks can be used as a benchmark test for any LifeCycle Manager Project.
  B. Benchmark tasks can be used to create a benchmark test to run Compatible Query Mode (CQM) reports as Dynamic Query (DQ) reports.
  C. When 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).
  D. To 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.
  C. When 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).

  ---

  Incorrect Answers:

  B: You can run CQM reports in DQM in a Lifecycle Manager project as part of the CQM to DQM migration validation.

  D: Users can compare live Cognos environments, or static files using previously saved Benchmark tasks. Benchmark allows you to create a point-in-time snapshot and use that as a baseline comparison.

  Note: Lifecycle Manager is a stand-alone application that helps validate and compare report outputs within a single environment, between environments or between different versions of Cognos.

• Question 17:

  An administrator needs to setup security for a newly installed environment. Which of the following is a valid step?

  A. Remove the default authentication provider.
  B. Enable anonymous access for selected users, groups, or roles.
  C. Delete the Everyone group to limit access to the environment for selected users, groups, and roles.
  D. Add trusted users, groups, or roles to the System Administrators role, and then remove the Everyone group from the role.
  D. Add trusted users, groups, or roles to the System Administrators role, and then remove the Everyone group from the role.

  ---

  You may not want all users that exist in an authentication source to have access to IBM Cognos software. To secure IBM Cognos software, configure the product so that only users who belong to a specific group or role in your authentication

  source, or in the Cognos namespace, are allowed access.

  We recommend using the Cognos namespace because it contains preconfigured groups and roles that help you to secure IBM Cognos software quickly. One of the preconfigured groups is Everyone.

  By default, the group Everyone belongs to several built-in groups and roles in the Cognos namespace.

  If you decide to use the Cognos namespace, you must remove the Everyone group from all built-in groups and roles and replace it with groups, roles, or users authorized to access IBM Cognos software.

• Question 18:

  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?

  A. Delete the appended ipfclientconfig.xml in the install_location\configuration directory.
  B. Increase the logging level to search for the user's first/last name in the audit logging tables.
  C. Set up the Audit Reports package and open the "Users and Reports report", and filter on the user id.
  D. Connect to the JMX Remote Process service by launching jconsole executable and using the CAMID and enable Dye Trace.
  B. Increase the logging level to search for the user's first/last name in the audit logging tables.

  ---

  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 19:

  The folder "AP" has reports that can retain output for 12 months. The administrator needs to remove report output that is at least 30 days old from the Content Store, and archive it to an external repository while keeping up to 12 months of run history.

  How can this be accomplished without losing any output or run history?

  A. Create and run a Content Removal task and set the options of Run history to 12 Months and Output versions to 30 days. Create a Content Archival task for the folder "AP".
  B. Create and run a Retention Rule task and set the options of Run history to 12 Months and Output versions to 30 days. Create and run a Content Archival task for the folder "AP".
  C. Create and run a Content Archival task for the folder "AP". Create and run a Content Removal task and set the options of Run history to 12 Months and Output versions to 30 days.
  D. Create and run a Retention Rule task and set the options of Run history to 12 Months and Output versions to 30 days. Create and run a Content Archival task for the folder "AP" and choose the Archival settings of Copy then remove.
  C. Create and run a Content Archival task for the folder "AP". Create and run a Content Removal task and set the options of Run history to 12 Months and Output versions to 30 days.

  ---

  Administrators use the retention rule update task to specify the number of reports, queries, analyses, and document objects to keep in the content store. You can specify how long to keep the history and output versions in the content store.

  Anything that is older than the date you specify is deleted from the content store.

  Run this task only after creating and running the content archival task. If you run it before, content that was not marked for archival is permanently deleted from the content store.
