AIX queue manager names will be AMQx where x= P, T, or D for the Production, Testing, and Development environments. D. Applications will query a z/OS DB2 table for the name of the correct queue manager to use. Answer: A 3. Which of the following message standards is MOST appropriate for an enterprise that needs to tag each application message with a 48 byte identifier? A. Use the CorrelId field in the MQMD. B. Use the ReplyToQ field from the MQMD. C. Use the CorrelId field in the transmission queue header (MQXQH). D. Use a customer specified message header to precede application data. Answer: D 4. A large enterprise has an MQ-based messaging infrastructure to support a diverse range of applications across multiple platforms. A number of the applications are JAVA based.

 C. All messages must be digitally signed before being transmitted to the business partner. D. All messages need to be encrypted before being transmitted to the business partner. Answer: A 5. The WebSphere MQ client interface is popular in part because the client software is free, but this is offset by a number of functional limitations. When deciding whether to deploy an application with the client interface or with a local queue manager, these must be considered.

In the event of a network outage it can be difficult to determine if the last API call was actually performed. C. Data cannot be stored as messages by the client in the event of network outages. D. Transactional processing with local units of work is not supported. Answer: D 6. A company's inventory application operates using a WebSphere MQ cluster containing several instances of the queue, STOCKQ. Assume one instance of STOCKQ is local to queue manager QM1 and CLWLUSEQ remains at its default value. Which method will be used by the standard workload management algorithm on QM1 to determine which queue manager is to receive a message MQPUT to STOCKQ? A. It will always select the local queue manager. B. It will select the queue manager that it sent to most recently. C. It will select the queue manager that is receiving the least number of messages. D. It will choose from the available queue managers using a round-robin approach. Answer: A 7. A company has a production WebSphere MQ cluster. They have recently upgraded to the latest version of WebSphere MQ. The current cluster has three queue managers, two in Paris which contain an instance of APP.QUEUE application queue. The third in London acts as a gateway to facilitate work load balancing. There is a requirement to add two queue managers in Rome to the network to take 25% of the workload. Which of the following should be performed to accomplish this task? A. Add the Rome queue managers to the existing cluster. Set CLWLWGHT values on the channels. B. Add the Rome queue managers to the existing cluster. Set CLWLPRTY values on the queues. C. Add the Rome queue managers to the existing cluster. Set CLWLUSEQ values on the queue managers. D. Update the Cluster Workload Exit accordingly. Answer: A 8. An architect has designed an AIX application that will update WebSphere MQ queues and a DB2 database within a single unit of work, using WebSphere MQ as the transaction manager. The architect

wishes to be sure that all possible recovery options are covered within the application in the case of a

www.Prepking.com

 failure of the transaction manager or the resource managers. In which of the following circumstances

should the architect consider preparation of additional recovery procedures? A. If the application crashes within the unit of work before the MQCMIT B. If the database crashes within the unit of work before the MQCMIT C. If the database crashes during the MQCMIT, before the database indicates that it is prepared to commit D. After the database indicates that it is prepared to commit, and the transaction manager can not be recovered Answer: D 9. An existing high volume WebSphere MQ for z/OS V6 application is changing data stored in messages

from a COBOL Copybook format to XML format. There will be a delay before messages can be transmitted. The requirements specify that with move to XML, over 4GB of message data may now need to be held at one time. What action should be recommended? A. These volumes are unacceptable to WebSphere MQ. Redesign the application. B. The underlying page set should be resized to account for the new volumes. C. A message exit should be written to compress data stored in the queues D. Transmission queue maximum queue depth should be increased. Answer: B 10. A financial institution needs to reliably transfer data between local and remote applications. This data is highly sensitive. It can only be available to the source and target applications, NOT even to MQ

administrators. Which of the following actions is MOST appropriate to protect this sensitive data throughout the infrastructure? A. Use the OAM to prevent unauthorized access of the data within the queues. B. Use the SSL feature of the WebSphere MQ channels. C. Provide channel exits to protect the data in transit between the applications. D. Use an application level security package to protect the data. Answer: D 11. In order to transfer very large data objects between systems, most current versions of WebSphere MQ can use reference messages. Which of the following BEST describes how this is done, on platforms where supported? A. Channel message exits at both ends will attach/detach data of the object to/from the reference message, thus letting the data bypass the queues at both ends, and delivering a single reference message when complete. B. The channel is configured with message exits at both ends, which apply powerful data compression algorithms based on parameters provided in the reference messages, thus reducing the overhead of queuing and transmission.

 C. Reference messages are a way to specify parameters to the queue manager that enable it to effect the segmentation of very large messages transparently to the applications. D. Such a feature does not exist in WebSphere MQ V6.0. Answer: A 12. A financial organization is implementing WebSphere MQ to connect applications in a z/OS batch environment.

List the authorized applications as PUT/GET with ENABLED/DISABLED parameters. Answer: C 13.

Combine all header, detail and trailer information into a single message per sale. B. Assign a higher priority to the header message to ensure it is retrieved first. C. Assign a higher priority to the trailer message to ensure that the sales order is complete before starting to process the sale. D. Code a unique MsgId value for all messages from the same branch. Answer: A 15. A company has a WebSphere MQ based Car Rental application executing on two AIX servers.
