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?
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.
An administrator wants to use one of the sample audit reports to view the percentage of successful and failed requests for the current day.
What must be done before they can successfully run this report?
Before you can create audit reports or use the sample audit reports that come with IBM Cognos software, you must set up audit reporting.
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?
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.
What is the role of Cognos Access Manager (CAM)?
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.
