IBM Assessment: IBM WebSphere MQ V7.0, System Administration Sample Questions:

1. As part of the planned migration from IBM WebSphere MQ V6.0 brokers to IBM WebSphere MQ V7.0, the publishing and subscribing applications have moved to IBM WebSphere MQ V7.0 and all that is left are the brokers. After IBM WebSphere MQ V7.0 is installed, what actions do the IBM WebSphere MQ administrators need to take to complete the migration?

A) Issue the migratemqbroker command for each broker
B) Recreate the brokers in the IBM WebSphere MQ V7.0 environment
C) Issue the strmqbrk command
D) Activate the PSMODE parameter on the broker

2. An administrator needs to start three channels (QM1.TO.QM2, QM1.TO.QM3 and QM1.TO.QM4) simultaneously whenever a message is placed on queue QLOCAL on QM1. QLOCAL has been set for triggering with trigger type as first. Which actions will accomplish this task?

A) Modify the QLOCAL definition to include all channel names in trigger data attribute andinitiation queue as SYSTEM.CHANNEL.INITQ.
B) Modify the QLOCAL definition to include the name of the process definition which will executeascript containingMQSC commands to start all channels and initiation queue as INITQ to bemonitored by trigger monitor process.
C) Triggering more than one channel simultaneously is not possible.
D) Modify the trigger monitor interface program (TMI) to handle 3 channels simultaneously.

3. A company is running applications on several Windows servers installed with WebSphere MQ Server components. All the applications are sending data to a queue manager running on a Solaris machine. How could the administrator redesign the infrastructure to reduce the overall licensing costs of the infrastructure?

A) Rewrite the application to handle a larger workload; reduce the number of applications andWebSphere MQ server components
B) Create a cluster and include all Windows machines
C) Redesigning the infrastructure will not reduce the number of licenses required
D) Replace WebSphere MQ Server components with WebSphere MQ Client components on allWindows machines

4. An administrator will install IBM WebSphere MQ on an AIX platform. There is a requirement to configure the installation to store the queue managers data files under a directory tree different from the default specified by the installation. After creating the appropriate directory tree, the administrator should:

A) add an entry for the variable MQSPREFIX in /var/mqm/service.env before running the crtmqmcommand.
B) edit /var/mqm/mqs.ini to specify DefaultPrefix in the AllQueueManagers stanza before runningthe crtmqm command.
C) edit /var/mqm/mqs.ini to specify LogDefaultPath in the LogDefaults stanza before running thecrtmqm command.
D) specify the file location using the -ld option when running the crtmqm command.

5. A company has decided to add a standalone queue manager APP3_QM back into their existing APP_CLUSTER. Previously APP3_QM was removed from cluster APP_CLUSTER and set back to the default setting a queue manager has when it is created.
Which of the following set of commands for APP3_QM will accomplish this task?

A) DEFINE CHANNEL ( FROM.REPOS) CHLTYPE (RCVR) TRPTYPE (TCP)
CONNAME (APPSERVER10) CLUS (APP_CLUSTER)
DEFINE CHANNEL (TO.REPOS) CHLTYPE (SDR) TRPTYRE(TCP)
CONNAME (REPOSERVER01) CLUS (APP_CLUSTER)
REFRESH CLUSTER (APP_CLUSTER) REPOS (YES)
B) DEFINE CHANNEL (FROM.REPOS) CHLTYPE (CLUSRVR) TRPTYPE (TCP)
CONNAME (APPSERVER01) CLUSTER (APP_CLUSTER)
DEFINE CHANNEL (TO.REPOS) CHLTYPE (CLUSSDR) TRPTYPE (TCP)
CONNAME (APPSERVER01) CLUSTER (APP_CLUSTER)
RESET CLUSTER (APP_CLUSTER) REPOS (YES)
C) DEFINE CHANNEL (FROM.REPOS) CHLTYPE (CLUSRVR) TRPTYPE (TCP)
CONNAME (APPSERVER01) CLUSTER (APP_CLUSTER)
DEFINE CHANNEL (TO.REPOS) CHLTYPE (CLUSSDR) TRPTYPE (TCP)
CONNAME (APPSERVER01) CLUSTER (APP_CLUSTER)
RESET CLUSTER (APP_CLUSTER) REPOS (YES)
D) DEFINE CHANNEL (FROM.REPOS) CHLTYPE (CLUSRVR) TRPTYPE (TCP)
CONNAME (APPSERVER01) CLUS (APP_CLUSTER)
DEFINE CHANNEL (TO.REPOS) CHLTYPE (CLUSSDR) TRPTYPE (TCP)
CONNAME (APPSERVER01) CLUS (APP_CLUSTER)
RESET CLUSTER (APP_CLUSTER) REPOS (YES)
