IBM Assessment: IBM Sterling Order Management V9.1 Deployment Sample Questions:

1. The getOrderDetails API has been exposed as a web service to provide order status information to customers calling via a dedicated toll-free number. The system architecture team wants to secure the web services exposed within Sterling in order to prevent unauthorized access to the web service. What is the most effective way of achieving this?

A) The API security feature provided out-of-the-box can be used to secure the getOrderDetails API such that only certain users have access to it.
B) Since the API security feature provided out-of-the-box will work only for out-of-the-box APIs, web services have to be secured by using theWS-S specification.
C) Since web services are deployed within an application server, the deployment descriptor can be used to secure the web service URL.
D) The web service channel can be exposed via HTTPS with client authentication enabled to identify the invoking application and allow accessonly if authorized.

2. An organization is using the Service Builder to create a service for transforming data from one format to the other (EDI to XML). However, they are unable to do so as they encounter errors while trying to save the service. Which two options may be responsible for this?

A) An API component exists without the template file name specified.
B) An API component exists without System Arguments specified.
C) A transport node is missing.
D) A component node is missing.
E) All required properties on all nodes and links do not have values specified.

3. The scheduling rule has the following configuration:

Inventory availability across the fulfillment network is as follows: What will be the result of scheduling the following order?

A) The whole order will get backordered.
B) Line 1 will be sourced from DC1 while lines 2 and 3 will get canceled due to insufficient inventory.
C) Line 1 will be sourced from DC1, 2 units from Line 2 will be sourced from DC2 and the remaining order will be backordered.
D) A transfer order will be created to move i2 from DC2 to DC1, and lines 1 and 2 will be sourced from DC1. Line 3 will get backordered.

4. While working with the IBM Sterling Selling and Fulfillment Suite the primary database crashes and the application server database connection pooling is not used. Which two options will move the database connection from the primary database to the secondary database?

A) Modify the database parameters in the sandbox.cfg property file to point to the secondary database and then run the setupfiles script.
B) Modify the deployment.properties file to point to the secondary database.
C) Modify the dbverify script to point to the secondary database and then execute it.
D) Modify the customer_overrides.properties file to point to the secondary database.
E) Modify the dbclassCache.properties file to point to the secondary database.

5. What are two effects on the system when Agent Servers are configured with high threading
levels and there is low traffic volume?

A) The throughput will be higher as the threading level is high.
B) The agents (consumers) could outpace the producers as there is low traffic.
C) Better performance on Agent Servers as there is low traffic.
D) Unnecessary overheads as there will be frequent getter tasks.
E) There will be higher levels of database contention due to excess threading.
