QUESTION 1 What technique can Framework Manager modelers use to implement a time dimension for models that lack a time dimension? A. B. C. D. Create relationships from date fields in one dimension to date fields in another dimension. Use parameter maps to map date values in one query subject to date values in another query subject. Use the Time Dimension wizard to generate a time dimension and create the appropriate relationships. Identify a time dimension table source, import into the model and create relationships to fact query subjects.

Answer: D QUESTION 2 In Framework Manager, when using star schema groupings in the business view, conformed dimensions can be identified by which one of the following? A. B. C. D. Using a different query subject icon for display in the studios. Viewing the properties of the query subjects in Report Studio. Viewing the properties of the query subjects in Framework Manager. Using the same name for the dimension in each star schema grouping.

Answer: D QUESTION 3 In Framework Manager, why is it recommended that modelers alter the default all-inclusive select statements of data source query subjects as little as possible? A. B. C. D. To generate the most efficient SQL at run time and simplify model maintenance. To prevent the exclusion of columns from a table that may be required in future reports. To prevent improperly constructed SQL and reduce issues with model documentation and readability. To provide authors with access to all columns in a database table which reduces requests to the modeler.

Answer: A QUESTION 4 Users want to compare Actual Revenue and Sales Target values by Month. Actual Revenue values are stored at the day grain in the Orders Fact table. Sales Target values are stored at the month grain in the Sales Target Facttable. In Framework Manager, which technique will best prevent Sales Target values from being double counted in Query Studio reports?

Answer: B QUESTION 5 What is true of a Framework Manager model of an operational database lacking a time dimension? A. B. C. D. Virtual star schema models require a time dimension for multi-fact queries. Report authors cannot create multi-fact, time-based queries. Time-based rollups for multi-fact queries may be difficult to handle. Report authors cannot create multi-fact, time-based queries unless using a union.

Answer: C QUESTION 6 What technique can Framework Manager modelers use to implement a time dimension for models that lack a time dimension? A. B. C. D. Create relationships from date fields in one dimension to date fields in another dimension. Use parameter maps to map date values in one query subject to date values in another query subject. Use the Time Dimension wizard to generate a time dimension and create the appropriate relationships.

Using a different query subject icon for display in the studios. Viewing the properties of the query subjects in Report Studio. Viewing the properties of the query subjects in Framework Manager. Using the same name for the dimension in each star schema grouping.

Answer: D QUESTION 8 If authors want to perform OLAP-style queries directly against a relational database, which Framework Manager modeling technique will a modeler use? A. B. C. D.

A. B. C. D. Optional cardinality Many-to-many relationship Determinants need to be specified A filter is required to focus the record set

Answer: B QUESTION 10 Which of the following is correct regarding the Cognos 8 security environment? A. B. C. D. Cognos 8 must be configured to use only one authentication provider at a time To perform authentication of users, a connection to the Cognos namespace must be defined In Framework Manager, object security is implemented by defining access to objects for users, groups and roles defined in the authentication providers In Framework Manager, object security is implemented by defining access to objects for groups and roles (of which users are members), not individual users

Answer: C QUESTION 11 The groups and roles defined in the Cognos namespace can be used to assign access rights to which of the following Framework Manager objects? A. Query items. B. Data sources. C. Relationships. D. Parameter maps. Answer: A QUESTION 12 Which of the following statements is correct regarding the implementation of object security in Framework Manager? A. B. C. D. Groups and roles can be created in the Cognos namespace when specifying access to objects. Even when object security is applied, if anonymous access is configured, every object in a Framework Manager project is visible to everyone. A user belongs to two groups. One of the groups is denied access to an object. The other group is Granted access to the object. The result is that user has access to the object. Granting access to an object for one user, group or role(except the Everyone and All Authenticated Users groups), implicitly denies access to that object for all other users, groups or roles.

Answer: D QUESTION 13 What does a star schema database structure typically consist of? A. B. C. D. De-normalized hierarchy of dimension tables and fact tables. Normalized dimension tables and detailed fact tables. Normalized dimension tables and summarized fact tables. De-normalized dimension tables and fact tables.
