Oracle Oracle Certifications 1Z0-591 Questions & Answers

• Question 101:

  The ODBC DSN is never used for _______.

  A. Initial import of the physical layer metadata on a Windows server

  B. Query execution and data access on a Windows server

  C. Initial import of the physical layer metadata, query execution, and data access on a Windows Server

  D. Changing passwords

  E. Comparing RPDs

  Correct Answer: E

  Explanation: You do not use ODBC DSN to compare repositories.

  Note: When an ODBC based application connects to a database, it connects to a logical name, the Data Source Name (DSN), which identifies the datasource to which it wants to connect.

  Some external repository of configuration information holds the various DSN values that are available, together with the necessary configuration and control information needed by the ODBC driver to establish a connection and manage usage

  of the data source. The DSN (data source name) is a data structure that contains the information about a specific data source (database, ...), typically used by an ODBC driver to be able to connect to it.

  The DSN contains information about the data source such as:

  the name,

  the directory,

  and the driver.

  On Windows, the DSN also specifies the ODBC driver to be used to access the database.

• Question 102:

  Which resource identifies the OBIEE Web Catalog (webcat)?

  A. instanceconfig.xml

  B. RCU Schema

  C. Identity Store

  D. nqsconfig.ini

  E. Admin Server

  Correct Answer: CE

  Explanation: C: Oracle Business Intelligence authenticates users and get groups using an Oracle WebLogic Server authentication provider against user information held in an identity store.

• Question 103:

  A customer needs to have a calculation done prior to aggregating the data. How would you accomplish this?

  A. By creating a derived measure by using the Logical Columns available

  B. By creating a derived measure in the Column Mapping dialog box by using the physical table columns.

  C. By creating a derived measure by using Logic Columns available and changing the aggregation type

  D. By creating a derived metric by using the Expression Builder

  E. By creating a derived metric by using the Calculation Wizard

  Correct Answer: B

  Note 1: OBIEE offers two calculation types for measure in the repository:

  logical

  physical

  You can define calculations in either of the following ways:

  *

  Before the aggregation, in the logical table source.

  *

  After the aggregation, in a logical column derived from two other logical columns. For example: sum(col A) * sum(col B)

  Note 2: A measure column is a column unlike the baseline column that has a default aggregation rule defined in the Aggregation tab of the Logical Column dialog in the repository.

  Measure columns always calculate the aggregation with which they are defined. Measures need to be defined in a logical fact. Any column with an aggregation rule is a measure.

  

• Question 104:

  The Oracle BI office plug-in allows you to import the results of an OBI request into which two MS applications?

  A. MS Visio

  B. MS Excel

  C. MS Project

  D. MS Word

  Correct Answer: BD

  Explanation: Oracle Business Intelligence Office Plug-In is a Windows application that is an optional feature under the Oracle Business Intelligence Presentation Services.

• Question 105:

  A user's BI Home page provides one-click access to which three options?

  A. Create new content

  B. Oracle BI online documentation

  C. Catalog search functionality

  D. Dashboard layout editor

  E. Business model metadata

  Correct Answer: ABC

  Explanation: See BI Home Page screenshot below: Note: The BI Home page contains the BI content catalog. Fusion Apps will use OBIEE web catalog to store all shipped reporting and analytics content. From the BI home page users can browse and view the entire BI content. The BI catalog folder structure will match the Fusion Apps main menu structure. Folder structure would be content driven not technology driven which would enable ease of navigation for fusion Apps users.

  

  Following content will be available under the BI catalog structure: BI Publisher Reports (regardless of data source) OTBI reports and dashboards OBIA dashboards and scorecards Financial Reporting

  Also, users can do some additional actions from the BI Home page like: Access personal and shared reports, View/ edit BI publisher report schedules, Launch BI tools for advanced actions and create new reports with report wizard.

  New reports created can be saved in BI catalog and added as embedded content within Fusion applications screens or links added to reporting pane. This enables users to extend the prebuilt embedded analytics within Fusion Applications.

• Question 106:

  Which task can be performed after the Administrator link has been reached through logging into OBIEE?

  A. Associate map layers to columns

  B. Manage access to Subject Areas

  C. SSO enablement

  D. Start or Stop BI Managed Servers

  Correct Answer: BCD

  Explanation: B: BI Server Security Manager accessed through the BI Server Administration Tool.

  *

  Set permission to business model, tables, columns and subject areas

  *

  Specify filters to limit data accessible by users

  *

  Set authentication options

  C: Enable the SSO through the FMW Control.

  

  D: You have three methods to start the managed server:

  *

  with the console (recommended)

  *

  with FMW control

  *

  with the command line.

• Question 107:

  Which three techniques are applied to support Failover?

  A. WebLogic Clustering

  B. Universal Installer > Scale Out BI System option

  C. OBIEE Clustering

  D. Vertical Scaleout

  Correct Answer: ABC

  B: If you want to scale out this infrastructure, you would typically run the OBIEE 11g installer on a second server, and instead of choosing to do a new install, you'd choose to instead scale out the existing BI domain.

  

  Explanation: A: OBIEE 11g is centred on WebLogic Server as the underlying application server architecture.

  C: OBIEE Clustering ?Approach of Oracle BI Server Load balancing/Failover

• Question 108:

  One of the most common uses of Dynamic Repository Variables is to setup filters for use in reporting. Which variable below is a valid example of a Dynamic Repository Variable?

  A. Year

  B. Month

  C. Quarter

  D. CurrentMonth

  Correct Answer: D

  Explanation: CurrentMonth can be calculated by a sql statement.

  Note:

  REPOSITORY VARIABLE(DYNAMIC)

  ?Initialized when BI server is started

  ?Assigned value dynamically based on the result of a query ?Value is dependent of the sql provided in Initialization Block Create a dynamic variable and provide a Name and Default Initializer.Create a new initialization block by clicking on the

  New button in the above screen.

  

  Provide Intialization Block variable Name

  

  Click on "Edit Data Source" button and provide the sql to be used for the variable, e.g. select lower(sys_context('USERENV','SESSION_USER'))|| '@'||

  lower(sys_context('USERENV','DB_NAME'))

  from dual;

• Question 109:

  WLS Embedded LDAP Server is managed by the Admin Server Console and supports which three options?

  A. Creating and Maintaining Users

  B. Authentication and Authorization

  C. Basic Directory for storing user details

  D. Subject area and row-level security, connection pool passwords

  E. Application of Session Variables as Data Filters

  Correct Answer: ACD

  Explanation: WLS Embedded LDAP Server

  *By default, OBIEE 11g users and groups are now held in the WLS LDAP Server (C)

  -More robust directory for storing user details

  -Recommended for >1000 users

  *

  WLS Admin Server Console now used for creating and maintaining users (A)

  *

  BI Server "outsources" all authentication, authorization to FMW11g (not B)

  *

  BI Administration tool now used for subject area and row-level security, connection pool passwords only (D) ?WLS LDAP Server can be "swapped out" for alternative directories (MS AD etc)

• Question 110:

  Point-and-click generation of case statement logic can be accessed via which option?

  A. Column Formula -> Bins tab

  B. Compound Layout

  C. Column Properties -> Conditional Format tab

  D. Advanced Tab

  E. Subject Area metrics

  Correct Answer: A

  Explanation: The "Edit Column Formula" dialog box has a second, very tiny tab called, "Bins." You can use this tab to have OBIEE build a CASE statement for you in a formula (you can also create a CASE statement yourself by using one of the functions that appears under "Expressions" if you want). A CASE statement is a lot like an IF-THEN-ELSE statement, except that it's a little easier to read when you have multiple options. Basically, it puts values in different buckets that you define.
