IBM Assessment: IBM WebSphere Process Server V7.0, Deployment Sample Questions:
1. In a company all the applications deployed in a WebSphere Process Server network deployment environment extensively leverage asynchronous messaging with JMS bindings. There is a requirement to resubmit the messages in case of infrastructure failures or planned shutdown. What is the suggested message reliability level that could be proposed in this situation?
A) Reliable persistent
B) Assured persistent
C) Best effort non-persistent
D) Reliable non-persistent
2. A deployment professional is installing an application which uses business processes in a clustered WebSphere Process Server environment. The Business Process Choreographer (BPC) container has previously been configured. During which phase of the installation is the application validated?
A) During the installation phase on the node agent.
B) During the installation phase on the deployment manager.
C) During the application start phase on the application server.
D) During the configuration phase on the application server.
3. A company wants to provide a new application prototype to any client to process their data. The intention is to start with a simple management system that provides a service to handle electronic contact requests. After a first evaluation of the solution, it is decided to use a WebSphere JCA adapter for e-Mail. The data will be processed by secured downstream SCA components once the data is sent to the adapter. What should be done to integrate the adapter solution in a secured WebSphere Process Server environment?
A) Consult the e-Mail service provider regarding the communication protocol. Secure the connection between the adapter and the service provider using SSL or similar protocols.
B) Advise the development team to configure the security identity on all components connected with the adapter. Deploy the application and map the security identity.
C) Advise the development team to enhance the service interface to retrieve customer specific information (e.g. user name and password). Each request sent to the adapter must be authorized for processing first.
D) No action is required. WebSphere JCA adapters do not provide any authentication or authorization mechanism for inbound and outbound operations.
4. A problem is reported with a deployed business process in the production environment with several of the application target JVMs exhibiting high CPU utilization. The deployment professional has obtained tprof output and javacores of the processes in question. What are the appropriate steps to take to locate the thread or threads which are responsible for the high CPU consumption?
A) Find the threads from sleep.prof
B) Find the threads from javacore
C) Find the thread ID from javacore, convert them to hex code and search for calculated hex code in sleep.prof
D) Find the thread ID from sleep.prof, convert them to hex code and search for calculated hex code in javacores
5. A telecommunications company is running on WebSphere Process Server 6.2 and intends to upgrade to WebSphere Process Server V7.0. In WebSphere Process Server 6.2, the backend systems are SAP applications and the corresponding WebSphere adapters are installed. What are the key sequential steps that the deployment professional needs to take to upgrade to WebSphere Process Server V7.0?
A) Create Migration Target -> Augment target profiles with WESB and Process Server -> Migrate using BPM command line utility
B) Install Migration Target -> Backup Source -> Apply interim patch on SAP Adapters -> Migrate using profile migration utility
C) Create Target profiles -> Backup source profile -> Migrate using Profile Management tool -> Migrate database manually
D) Create target profiles with all components -> Uninstall WebSphere Adapter for SAP applications from the 6.2 environment -> Use BPM profile migration command line utility
