IBM WebSphere Message Broker V8.0 Solution Development Sample Questions:
Question #1
A sales company is currently running 2 message flows. The first, ProcessOrder, validates customer orders and then sends the shipping information to the warehouse via an MQ request message. Once the warehouse has shipped the order, a reply is sent back which is processed by the second flow, SendConfirmation, to send a confirmation to the customer. The company is now expanding and has multiple warehouses. The solution developer must modify ProcessOrder to send messages to each warehouse only for the items it stocks, and SendConfirmation to send a response message only when all warehouses have replied. What node(s) should the solution developer use?
A. ProcessOrder -> AggregateControl and AggregateRequest SendConfirmation -> AggregateReply
B. ProcessOrder -> Sequence SendConfirmation -> Resequence
C. SendConfirmation -> MQGet
D. SendConfirmation -> Collector
Question #2
A solution developer needs to read records from a file every hour and insert them into a database.
The solution developer creates a flow using a TimeoutNotification node to start the flow, a FileRead node to read individual records from the file and a Compute node to insert the records into the database. To ensure that all records are processed in a unit of work, what must the solution developer do?
A. Set the Transaction Mode of the TimeoutNotification node to Yes
B. Set the Record Detection option of the FileRead node to Whole File
C. Set the Operation Mode of the TimeoutNotification node to Controlled
D. Check the Throw exception on database error option
Question #3
A bank uses Process Server to implement a supervisor based, credit line approval process. Once initiated, the process does not return a response. This Process Server workflow needs to be started every time the Message Broker receives a new credit increase transaction. To implement this requirement, a solution developer can design a message flow that uses:
A. JavaCompute Node to invoke the process flow JAR files that are generated
B. SCARequest Node
C. Publication Node
D. a combination of SOAPAsyncRequest and SOAPAsyncResponse
Question #4
A message flow needs to be designed such that available messages must be processed in sequential order. Missing messages in the sequence must be discarded if they appear later. The solution developer implements this message flow using Sequence and Resequence nodes. To meet the specifications for this message flow, how should the solution developer wire the Resequence node?
A. The Out terminal should be wired, but the Expire and Missing terminals should be left unwired.
B. The Out, Expire, and Missing terminals should be wired together.
C. The Out and Expire terminals should be wired together, and the Missing terminal should be left unwired.
D. The Out and Missing terminals should be wired together, and the Expire terminal should be left unwired.
Question #5
To activate any new function included in a fix pack, which command must the solution developer issue?
A. mqsichangebroker command with the -f parameter.
B. mqsicvp command.
C. mqsireioad command.
D. mqsichangeproperties command with the -n parameter.
