  • A. The configuration settings are automatically included when running the import.
  • B. Manually apply the settings because configuration settings are not a part of the Content Store deployment.
  • C. Configuration settings are not included in the Content Store deployment. The parameter CM.DEPLOYMENTINCLUDECONFIGURATION must be set to true on the ContentManagerService prior to running the Content Store export deployment.
  • D. Configuration settings are included in the Content Store deployment but not included in the import unless you set the parameter CM.DEPLOYMENTINCLUDECONFIGURATION to true on the ContentManagerService before running the import.
Answer:

C


Explanation:
Specify if Configuration Objects and Children are Part of Deployment.
You can specify if configuration objects and their children are included as part of deployment. By
default, they are not included.
You can change the default setting using the advanced setting
CM.DEPLOYMENTINCLUDECONFIGURATION.
By default, it is set to False (do not include configuration objects in deployments).
To change the default to include configuration objects and their children, set it to True.

Question 9

An administrator would like to log the activity for a single user.
Which action is required?

  • A. Set the Report service logging to Trace.
  • B. Modify the ipfcogconfig.xml file in the bin64 directory.
  • C. Use the Remote Process service for Java Management Extensions (JMX).

Explanation:
You can use logs to diagnose a problem that is occurring for one or more specific users.
You enable and disable logging for specific users by using the Remote Process service for Java
Management Extensions (JMX), a technology that supplies tools to manage and monitor applications
and service-oriented networks. You connect to the JMX Remote Process service using the jconsole
executable that is provided with the Java JDK.

Question 10

An administrator needs to add users from multiple authentication providers to a single role.
What needs to be done?

  • A. Log on to each of the namespaces before starting.
  • B. Add external namespaces to the Cognos namespace manually.
  • C. Add the users to a Cognos group, then add the group to the Cognos role.
  • D. Import the users to the Cognos namespace first, then add the users to the Cognos role.
Answer:

B


Explanation:
In the Cognos Analytics user interface, authentication providers are represented by namespaces.
Cognos Analytics supports the following types of authentication providers:
Authentication providers are configured in IBM Cognos Configuration, under the Security >
Authentication category. After the provider namespace is added there, and the IBM Cognos service is
restarted, the namespace name is displayed in Manage > Accounts, and users can log on to Cognos
Analytics using that namespace.
