IBM Assessment: IBM WebSphere Process Server V7.0, Deployment Sample Questions:

1. A development team has scheduled a new series of test cycles for their applications. For the planned load test the following requirements have been specified by the team to complete the test and identify runtime problems. The team must monitor the number of failed asynchronous invocations; status of the messaging engines and deployed application modules. Which approach will support the team to gather the required information during the test cycle?

A) Create a Business Space with the respective system administration widgets and provide login information to the development team.
B) Enable the Failed Event Manager and the Service Integration Bus (SIB) Browser application for remote access and provide login information to the development team.
C) Add all members of the development to the monitor security role for the administrative console and provide login information.
D) Enable tracing for the application and messaging engine hosting servers and provide access for the trace files to the development team.

2. A deployment professional is asked to configure the Business Flow Manager such that it will store audit log events into the Business Process Choreographer database. The environment is a production clustered environment with the database already configured. Common Event Infrastructure logging has also been previously enabled. Using the Integrated Solutions Console to accomplish this task, what needs to be completed?

A) Add a custom property to the the cluster supporting the Business Process Choreographer.
B) Enable audit and task history logging to the Business Flow Manager.
C) Enable audit logging to the Business Flow Manager.
D) Enable task history logging to the Business Flow Manager.

3. During the processing of business processes, the following runtime message is observed by the deployment professional in the server log file: BpelEngine I CWWBE0057I: Activity 'Invoke' of processes '_PI:90030128.17946972.9b4886f6.93df0e66' has been stopped because of an unhandled failure. The deployment professional is informed by the development team that no fault handler has been implemented to cover the failing activity. Furthermore, the process is not designed to skip any runtime problems. However, the process must be reactivated as soon as possible. Which action is required to be taken by the deployment professional?

A) No action is required because the transaction will be rolled back automatically and recovered. Investigate the root cause of the failure.
B) Manually force the process activity to complete or retry using the Business Process Choreographer (BPC) Explorer and further investigate the root cause.
C) Skip the failing activity using the Business Process Choreographer (BPC) Explorer to complete the process instance.
D) The failed process instance cannot be recovered. Advise the development team to implement a fault handler in the next process version.

4. A company has implemented a simple business integration application in WebSphere Process Server to send updates synchronously to the backend database as part of the nightly batch process. It has been observed that on a daily basis the updates are lost when the database is down for a couple of minutes due to routine maintenance, and the only way to recover is to ask the application team to re-send the updates. What should a deployment professional do so that the updates are not lost and to enable recovery in case of backend system failures?

A) Use asynchronous database communication and resubmit the events using the Failed Event Manager.
B) Monitor the SCA application bus system exception destination for failed events.
C) Adjust the "Maximum Failed Deliveries" to 1 since it is a known recurring outage and modify the "Retry interval" to adjust the number of minutes for outage.
D) Ask the application team to ensure the reliability qualifier is set to "Best Effort".

5. A deployment professional is doing a manual creation of database tables for a Business Space runtime in a WebSphere Network Deployment runtime. The database is to be hosted on a remote DB2 instance. Which of the following must be done prior to beginning the creation of the database tables?

A) Execute the profile_root/dbscripts/BusinessSpace/preconfigDsh script.
B) Stop all business process applications running in the cell to which Business Space is being installed.
C) Use the Integrated System Console widget to define the IP address of the database server.
D) Create profiles and configure servers or clusters for Business Space.
