*Your security strategy concentrates on three main areas:
• Authentication – who are your users? Your information should
be readily accessible but only to the right people.
• Authorization – once they are authenticated, what do your
users have permission to access? Each person or group of
people may need to know different things, even as detailed
as the column or row of data.
• Encryption – how do you protect both data transmissions
and storage?

*You can use the Rank function when you want to sort out the
data.....
for example: when you want to display the nth highest
employee....then you can use Rank function also find out...

* Content Manager
provides a simple solution for managing access to corporate
content in a web environment via the upfront component.
Upfront was not really designed as a complete web site /
portal content management solution (a point I find myself
making again and again to clients for whom I implement the
Cognos BI Suite). Although it serves quite ably to allow you
to flexibly customize, personalize, publish and manage
content (whether BI-related or not), within the realm of the
corporate intranet and elsewhere, it is limited with regard
to sophisticated site component management (HTML and other
markup languages, text, hyperlinks, graphics, images and so
forth). The provision in its design to allow for the
publication of, or linking to / from, non-Cognos documents
allows for versatility that can be highly useful, and
Upfront often meets the business requirements of many
organizations right out of the box.

* Cognos content store
It stores the package information ....through cognos
connection, report authors connect to content store and
generate the reports...

Rank is a function which arrange the data in ascending order
by giving no to them similar to s.no. but skips no for the
same data.
e.g.
Name Revenue
abc 1000
pqr 2000
mno 2000
xyz 3000

If we have Rank(Revenue) then O/P will be,

Rank(Rev) Name Revenue
1 abc 1000
2 pqr 2000
2 mno 2000
4 xyz 3000
