Question 1

Queue Managers QMA and QMB both have a cluster queue definition for Q1. A sending application resides on QMC, which is also part of the cluster. The messages being sent from QMC contain data from the same account that needs to be processed at the destination (Q1) in the same order that the messages were sent. Which one of the following is MOST LIKELY to enforce the sending order on the destination queue, assuming the message can be routed to the destination queue?

A. The sending application sends the messages for the account within the same unit of work

B. Q1 is defined with DEFBIND(OPEN) and the sending application opens Q1 and sends themessages for the account

C. The sending application specifies the destination Queue Manager and Queue name on theopen for Q1 and sends the messages for the account

D. The sending application opens Q1 with MQOO_BIND_ON_OPEN and sends the messages forthe account

Correct Answer: D

Question 2

Why should only privileged users be permitted to define alias queues?

A. Users can bypass access control by creating a QALIAS.

B. There is no check if the TARGET is defined or not.

C. A QALIAS can name another alias queue as its TARGET, which can potentially create aninfinite loop.

D. An alias queue could have a remote queue for its TARGET.

Correct Answer: A

Question 3

An application receives messages created on Windows workstations and, after doing transformations, forwards them to a target system running on z/OS. There is a requirement for passing the original username, but information about the date and time associated with the message should be set by the forwarding application. What is the best way of doing this?

A. Use MQPMO_SET_IDENTITY_CONTEXT on Windows and MQPMO_PASS_IDENTITY_CONTEXT in the forwarding application

B. Use MQPMO_DEFAULT_CONTEXT on Windows and MQPMO_PASS_IDENTITY_CONTEXT in forwarding application

C. Use MQPMO_DEFAULT_CONTEXT on Windows and MQPMO_PASS_ALL_CONTEXT in the forwarding application

D. Use MQPMO_SET_IDENTITY_CONTEXT on Windows and MQPMO_PASS_ALL_CONTEXT in the forwarding application

Correct Answer: B

Question 4

A solution depends on messages being dropped during a queue manager restart. These messages are defined as nonpersistent. After a queue manager restarts, the solution designer notes that the messages were not dropped as expected but got processed. Which one of the following options is the likely cause?

A. The application is using permanent dynamic queues

B. The application has not set persistence, and the default persistence at the QMGR level isDEFPSIST(YES)

C. The application is putting the messages to a QALIAS with DEFPSIST(NO), however the targetqueue has DEFPSIST(YES) set

D. The messages reside on a z/OS shared queue

Correct Answer: D

Question 5

In a distributed environment, an application that periodically loads large numbers of persistent messages on to a queue is doing so under syncpoint control and issues a commit only after a number of messages have been put. While this application worked perfectly in test environments, there are frequently problems in the production environment. In addition to this new application, several previously unproblematic applications also experience failures such as reason codes MQRC_RESOURCE_PROBLEM or MQRC_BACKED_OUT. Which of the following is the best recommendation to remedy this problem?

A. Return all affected applications to development for more stringent unit testing.

B. Increase the maximum queue depth parameter.

C. Schedule the new application to run only at off-peak times, when the queue manager is not busy.

D. Increase the log space allocation of the affected queue manager.

Correct Answer: D

Question 6

An application needs to display the last published message every five minutes. What is the best way of doing this?

A. Use MQSUB with MQSO_NEW_PUBLICATIONS_ONLY and call MQSUBRQ every five minutes.

B. Use MQSUB with MQSO_PUBLICATIONS_ON_REQUEST and call MQSUBRQ every five minutes.

C. Use MQSUB with MQSO_PUBLICATIONS_ON_REQUEST option and SubExpiry set to 300.

D. Use MQSUB with SubExpiry set to 300.

Correct Answer: B

Question 7

What is a particular advantage of designing a publish/subscribe application to use a managed subscription, when the subscription type is non-durable?

A. Any messages for this subscription will be managed by the queue manager, so they can beavailable if there are any subsequent subscribers.

B. The temporary dynamic queue used for the subscription will not be deleted by the queuemanager until the current depth of the queue is zero, and the subscribing applicationconnection is closed.and the subscribing application? connection is closed.

C. The temporary dynamic queue used for the subscription will be deleted, along with anymessages on it, when the subscribing applicationThe temporary dynamic queue used for thesubscription will be deleted, along with any messages on it, when the subscribing application'connection is closed. The temporary dynamic queue used for the subscription will not bedeleted by the queue manager until the current depth of the queue is zero.

Correct Answer: C

Question 8

A solution designer is looking to implement WebSphere MQ distribution lists for the COBOL application being designed. Which of the following operating systems is not an option for deployment?

A. AIX V6.1

B. z/OS V1.8

C. Windows XP

D. SUSE Linux Enterprise Server V10

Correct Answer: B

Question 9

While trying to get messages from its input queue a program is receiving notification that no messages are available. However, the queue depth indicates that there are messages on the queue. Which of the following are possible explanations for this?

A. The program lost the authority to get messages from this queue as a result of an administratoraction.

B. The program is failing to specify a MsgId or CorrelId, so no messages are being are beingreturned when it issues an MQGET.

C. The queue has been set to et inhibitedby an administrator.The queue has been set toyetInhibitedby an administrator.

D. Messages have been put to the queue by another program, but have not been committed yet.

E. The program is specifying a particular MsgId or CorrelId that does not match any messagescurrently on the queue.

Correct Answer: D,E

Question 10

While planning for a new application, the performance of nonpersistent messages sent through message channels is being discussed. If the messages will be sent through channels with NPMSPEED(FAST), which of the following BEST describes the effect this will have?

A. Nonpersistent messages can be made available by the receiver channel more quickly, but theycan be discarded if they cannot be delivered.

B. The queue manager will attempt to deliver the nonpersistent messages more quickly, but theiravailability on the receiving queue manager might be delayed while waiting for the channel tocommit them.

C. Nonpersistent message delivery is as reliable as if NPMSPEED(NORMAL) had been used,and nonpersistent messages can be delivered by the receiver channel more quickly.

D. The channel will send nonpersistent messages with a higher priority than persistent ones.
