IBM WebSphere MQ V7.0, Solution Design - C2180-376 Exam Practice Test

Question 1

WebSphere MQ clusters are sometimes positioned to provide high availability for backend services. For many use cases this works well; but which concern may make this solution unacceptable in some cases?

A. In the event of a server outage messages already queued will be delayed until the server canbe restarted.

B. Special considerations apply when software maintenance needs to be applied.

C. Client applications connected to a queue manager cannot continue processing when itbecomes unavailable.

D. Some topologies cannot be implemented because queue managers can only be members ofone cluster.

Correct Answer: A

Question 2

A company is porting a solution written in C to i5/OS (successor to OS/400) that will send orders to the Order Processing system, which is a WebSphere MQ application on z/OS. Which of the following configurations for the new solution on i5/OS provides the function needed for this scenario? The solution on i5/OS would run:

A. as a client or full server, using either the WebSphere MQ client or a full WebSphere MQ serveron i5/OS to access the Order Processing system.

B. as a standalone application, accessing a WebSphere MQ-enabled adapter on the mainframeto access the Order Processing system.

C. only as a server, using the WebSphere MQ server on i5/OS to access the Order Processingsystem.

D. only as a client, using the WebSphere MQ client on i5/OS to access the Order Processingsystem.

Correct Answer: C

Question 3

A solution designer is looking to utilize industry standard technologies but does not want to settle for the qualities of service that HTTP offers. Which of the following is not a benefit of using SOAP/WebSphere MQ over SOAP/HTTP?

A. WebSphere MQ clustering for load balancing and enhanced reliability and availability

B. Integration with, and reuse of, existing WebSphere MQ infrastructure

C. Assured delivery

D. Ability to provide access to legacy applications

Correct Answer: D

Question 4

A solution developer is writing a C language application on a UNIX platform. There is a requirement for the transactions to be processed within syncpoint control. What is the MINIMUM required MQ component on the application platform to achieve this functionality?

A. WebSphere MQ Server Installation

B. WebSphere MQ Extended Transactional Client Installation

C. WebSphere MQ Client Installation

D. WebSphere MQ Server Installation with the XA capabilities configured

Correct Answer: C

Question 5

The solution designer is considering how a WebSphere MQ application program can be made aware of problems when a message it created is delivered by a remote channel agent. Which of the following could be used for this purpose?

A. The Completion and Reason code in the sending application program

B. A GUI utility to display the dead letter queue on the remote queue manager, so that the dead letter header can be browsed.

C. There is no way to determine the success of a put by a remote message channel agent from within the local application program.

D. A report message option can be set by the sending application program

Correct Answer: D

Question 6

In a centralized queuing environment, a batch program is processing a file, and putting the transactions onto a queue for processing within syncpoint control. The batch program is experiencing issues, and a support resource is contacted to investigate. Which of the following is NOT a likely cause of the issues?

A. Because the real-time non-persistent messages are mixed in with the batch transactions onthe queue, the circular logs are filling up and writing over each other.

B. Because the real-time non-persistent messages are mixed in with the batch transactions onthe queue, the queue is filling up.

C. The MAXDEPTH parameter is causing restrictions on the queue.

D. The application issues commits infrequently

Correct Answer: A

Question 7

A business requirement is brought forward for a back end server that is to send replies to requests sourced on the web and on internal application servers. The back end application will perform database lookups and formatting operations that are deemed trivial. Message sizes, traffic volumes and estimated annual growth rates are provided. The application designer is asked to provide a sizing estimate for a server that will be able to provide the response times stipulated in the SLA. Which is the fastest way to arrive at a reasonable estimate of the required server size?

A. Consult the Performance Reports from the WebSphere MQ SupportPac website forcomparable measurements and extrapolate to the specified requirements.

B. Create a suitable test program and test clients and perform a series of benchmarks on anavailable server.

C. Meaningful performance measurements can only be done once the application developmenthas progressed to the point where the actual code can be benchmarked.

D. Collect performance statistics from other WebSphere MQ based applications and extrapolatethe findings to your requirements.

Correct Answer: A

Question 8

Which of the following contains the best mix of items to utilize in a queue name?

A. Application Identifier, Function

B. Queue Purpose, Object Type, Function

C. Application Identifier, Environment Identifier, Location

D. Environment Identifier, Object Type, Application Identifier

Correct Answer: A

Question 9

The current depth of the SYSTEM.CLUSTER.TRANSMIT.QUEUE has not dropped below a certain number for several hours. Which of the following can be used to determine the channel(s) for which these messages are destined?

A. A DISPLAY CHSTATUS command where XQMSGSA is greater than zero.

B. A DISPLAY QSTATUS command for SYSTEM.CLUSTER.TRANSMIT.QUEUE with theUNCOM parameter.

C. A DISPLAY QSTATUS command with the QMURID parameter.

D. A DISPLAY CHSTATUS command where BATCHES is equal to zero.

Correct Answer: A

Question 10

A company has an administrative topic on the topic string airlineA/gate. They want to add another node to the topic, airlineA/gate/departure, and are deciding whether the new topic node should also be administrative. Which one of the following is an advantage of using an administrative topic?

A. Ability to view the status of the topic in WebSphere MQ Explorer

B. Ability to assign attributes to the topic

C. Ability to change the topic string later

D. Ability to check security on the topic
