C2090-623 IBM Cognos Analytics Administrator V1 Questions and Answers

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.

For example, a first dispatcher is installed on a 2 GHz computer and a second dispatcher on a 1 GHz computer. You set the processing capacity of the first dispatcher to 2.0 and the second to 1.0. The first dispatcher handles two-thirds of the requests while the second handles one-third of the requests. If you set the capacity of both dispatchers to 1.0, requests are sent to each dispatcher alternately.

The default processing capacity for each dispatcher is 1.0.

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.

The metric score for each entry is based on the performance of individual child entries. The status that is displayed for each entry is the lowest status of the child entries. For example, if all the metrics for a dispatcher are good, but one service on that dispatcher has a poor metric, the metric score shown for the dispatcher is poor.

Status is one of the following:

• Available if all components are available
• Partially available if at least one component is available and at least one component is unavailable or partially unavailable.
• Unavailable if all components are unavailable
