A. Back up the production application into the test environment.

B. Implement a BI application backup plan separate from other production applications.

C. Copy the BI application to a duplicate environment.

D. Integrate the BI application into existing production backup plans.

A. The Iterative Approach is a specific technique used to iterate through the Design phase.

B. The Iterative Approach is a series of steps defined in the Analysis and Development phases of Cognos SIM.

C. The Iterative Approach is a philosophy of development while Cognos SIM is a collection of tasks, documents, and techniques to guide development.

D. Cognos SIM is the current Cognos development standard and is intended to replace the Iterative Approach for development of BI applications.

A. The solution is developed and delivered to the users. After approximately 2 weeks, the users are interviewed for any missing requirements and any new requirements form the basis for the next iteration.

B. A prototype solution is developed after the initial user interviews. This prototype is then used as a basis for refining specific design requirements.

C. The design step is repeated multiple times before proceeding to the development step. Each pass through the design step further refines the eventual solution.

D. A prototype is created that addresses 80 to 90% of the business requirements. This is demonstrated to the users and their feedback is used to refine the prototype in subsequent iterations.

A. Determine the definition of a large and small carrier.

B. Determine if Date and Time of Day should be split into separate dimensions.

C. Determine if origin and destination airports should be considered joined pairs (for example, from DFW to ORD) or as separate dimensions.

D. Determine if 15 minutes is the only significant grouping of late or early departures or arrivals.

A. provide near real time access to summarized transactional data

B. provide fast access to corporate data for analysis and reporting

C. provide near real time access to summarized corporate data for analysis and reporting

D. provide fast access to corporate data and act as a system of record

A. It provides a philosophy of development that maximizes return on investment.

B. It ensures that early mistakes are avoided in developing a solution.

C. It helps consultants progress in a systematic way to insure all critical steps are addressed.

D. It helps project managers estimate the cost and effort in developing a solution.

A. A low affinity request can be processed using a high affinity connection when a low affinity connection is not available.

B. A high affinity request can be processed using a low affinity connection if there are no high affinity connections available.

C. An absolute affinity request does not require a connection because it has priority.

D. A low affinity request is directed to the same process that served up the originating low affinity request if the process is available and there is an available high affinity connection.
