IBM WebSphere DataPower SOA Appliances Firmware V5.0 Solution Implementation Sample Questions:
Question 1
Message traffic from a customer purchasing system is passing SOAP messages through a DataPower XI52 appliance. A solution implementer uses a multi-protocol gateway to implement WS-Security to encrypt the complete message. Which of the following parameters should the solution implementer select to correctly configure the Encrypt action?
A. Envelop Method: Standard XML encryption Message Type : SOAP Message Document Crypto Map : store:///encrypt_message.xsl
B. Envelop Method: WSSec encryption Message Type: SOAP Message Document Crypto Map : None
C. Envelop Method: WS-Security Message Type : SOAP Message Document Crypto Map : store:///encrypt_message.xsl
D. Envelop Method: Advanced Message Type : Raw XML document Document Crypto Map : store:///ws_security_encrypt.xsl
Question 2
An organization has isolated environments for development, functional, integration and performance testing. Each environment includes at least one DataPower appliance, client, and several instances of backend systems. A solution implementer has made changes to a DataPower service in the development environment that needs to be promoted to other testenvironments for further testing. During migration, environment specific values must be changed in order for the configuration to integrate with the correct backend systems in the target environment. What options does the solution implementer have to automate this migration? (choose three)
A. Use an external script to search and replace environment values. Then use the script to push the configuration via CLI or XML Management Interface.
B. Use the WebGUI to change environment specific values and then export the configuration.
C. Use the Deployment Policy object to change environment specific values at the time of import at the target appliance.
D. Take a secure backup of the appliance and secure restore the configuration on the target appliance.
E. Use the checkpoint function of the appliance to save copies of configuration for specific target environments.
F. Use the Deployment Policy object to changeenvironment specific values at the time of export at the source appliance.
Question 3
A DataPower application is to be deployed to development, test, pre-production, and production environments. The solution implementer has the requirement to make the application migration easier and portable. What can the solution implementer use to accomplish this?
A. Deployment Policy, Host Alias, Static Host, and externalize end points
B. SLM Policy, Configuration Checkpoints, and Compare Configuration tool
C. Unique System Identifiers and map variables to each system identifier
D. Explicit IP Address in Front Side Handler and Back End Remote Host
Question 4
A bank wants to be able to dynamically change the behavior of its DataPower mediations for certain services after they have been deployed to production to quickly respond to minor changes in back end services. Towards this purpose, the solution implementer configured rules with a transform action that will dynamically run pre-tested style sheets. What should the solution implementer use to satisfy this requirement?
A. evaluate() extension function
B. transform() extension function
C. pre-processing() extension function
D. <xsl:include ..> statement to include it dynamically at run time if the file exists
Question 5
A solution implementer has created a stylesheet as shown in the following exhibit.
Which output would be generated when the above XML is transformed by the given stylesheet?
A. Option C
B. Option B
C. Option A
D. Option D
