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

1. A business integration application makes use of a non-interruptible business process which is invoked synchronously to update a backend SAP application and a data warehouse deployed on the DB2 database. Under peak loads, the business process performs poorly. The deployment professional is approached to fine tune the resources for better performance. What should be the appropriate tuning settings?

A) Reduce the number of transaction boundaries within the business process and try to use parallel execution paths.
B) Increase the Java heap size but keep it low enough to avoid heap swapping.
C) Increase the sib.msgstore.discardableDataBufferSize default value to hold the data for which the quality of service attribute is best effort non-persistent of the business process.
D) Replace the DB2 database data store for the business process with file store.
E) Increase the number of connections in the connection pool of the JDBC data source to connect to DB2 database.

2. A customer has more than one LDAP server and wants to use a federated repository, also known as VMM to simplify the ownership and assignment of human tasks. Which of the following LDAP elements must be unique across all LDAP providers to be federated in to VMM?

A) commonName (cn); distinguished name (dn)
B) user (id); distinguished name (DN)
C) organizationName (o); distinguished name (dn)
D) organizationName (o); user ID;

3. A deployment professional has created a Remote Messaging and Remote Support cluster with DB2 as the database including an application cluster (cluster1). This environment is used for testing the solution1 project. For another project, solution2, the development team requests another cluster (cluster2). The deployment professional decides to add another application cluster (cluster2) and another messaging cluster to the environment in order fulfill this requirement. What should the deployment professional do as part of this task, given that business processes from the new solution2 project will be called as services from the solution1 project modules?

A) Use a new database/schema for the BPEDB required for cluster2.
B) Use the existing database/schema from cluster1 for the BPEDB required for cluster2.
C) Use a new database/schema for the BPEDB and the CommonDB for cluster2.
D) Use the existing database/schema from cluster1 for the BPEDB and the CommonDB required for cluster2.

4. 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 configuration phase on the application server.
C) During the installation phase on the deployment manager.
D) During the application start phase on the application server.

5. A company has a complex server infrastructure. All servers are allowed to communicate with each other due to the shared network infrastructure. A development team implemented new applications working with confidential business data and deployed them on a dedicated test server. A specific service provider application on a different business server exposes the data using the Business Process Choreographer (BPC) EJB interface to many other applications. The client application will query the data using synchronous requests on the remote EJB API. A special approval from the management was needed to test the new applications with realtime data. What should a deployment professional do to efficiently secure the environment and prepare the test environment?

A) Configure the Common Secure Interoperability Version 2 (CSIv2) inbound and outbound
authentication for the test and business server.
Register the test server as trusted identity on the business server.
B) Configure the Representational State Transfer (REST) services for the BPC. Create a secured
proxy server exposing the service endpoints
and provide the exposed URL and login credentials to the development team.
C) Enable the development server for Single sign on (SSO). Configure identity assertion for
Common Secure Interoperability Version 2 (CSIv2)
outbound authentication on the development server and disable identity assertion on the business
server.
D) Enable Java 2 security on the business server. Request a list of necessary permissions for the
client application from the development team
and add them to the business servers policy file.
