Access Manager provides a centralized environment to define, store, and maintain securityinformation 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.

You enable and disable logging for specific users by using the Remote Process service for
Java Management Extensions (JMX), a technology that supplies tools to manage and
monitor applications and service-oriented networks. You connect to the JMX Remote
Process service using the jconsole executable that is provided with the Java JDK.

Why would an administrator use IPF (Indication Processing Facility) logging?
A.
As a wrapper tool for gateway related errors.
B.
To process the audit logging data and write it to the audit database.
C.
As a wrapper for log4j to configure what information is written to log files.
D.
For tracing performance and communication between XQE and the BIBus.
As a wrapper for log4j to configure what information is written to log files.
Some error messages may contain sensitive information, such as server names. By
default, error message details in IBM Cognos software are routed to IPF log files, and the
secure error message option is enabled. The information presented to users indicates only
the occurrence of an error, without any details.
