IBM WebSphere MQ V7.0, Solution Design Sample Questions:

1. 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 messages reside on a z/OS shared queue
B) The application has not set persistence, and the default persistence at the QMGR level isDEFPSIST(YES)
C) The application is using permanent dynamic queues
D) The application is putting the messages to a QALIAS with DEFPSIST(NO), however the targetqueue has DEFPSIST(YES) set

2. 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 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.
C) 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.

3. Business owners want to allow an existing application to be easily portable to any of four Linux servers in a cluster. For this, they want the four queue managers to be changed to have the same name. What must be the response of the WebSphere MQ Solution Designer?

A) There is no problem.
B) It is possible to define queue managers with identical names in a cluster, but it is notrecommended.
C) It cannot be done. The repository will reject duplicate queue managers.
D) Queue managers cannot be renamed, so this can only be done by recreating the queuemanagers. Beyond that, there is no problem.

4. The current depth of the SYSTEM.CLUSTER.TRANSMIT.QUEUE has not dropped below a certain number for several hours. Which of the following can be used to determine the channel(s) for which these messages are destined?

A) A DISPLAY QSTATUS command with the QMURID parameter.
B) A DISPLAY CHSTATUS command where BATCHES is equal to zero.
C) A DISPLAY CHSTATUS command where XQMSGSA is greater than zero.
D) A DISPLAY QSTATUS command for SYSTEM.CLUSTER.TRANSMIT.QUEUE with theUNCOM parameter.

5. An organization has a widely distributed online environment, where applications are connected via WebSphere MQ messaging. A business requirement is brought forward that the delivery of certain persistent mission critical datagram messages needs to be recorded in a central location. The delivery information must not be lost. The mechanism used must not be dependent on cooperation of the receiving applications. Which of the following designs will meet these requirements?

A) The sending application will put a copy of each message on a central queue reserved for thispurpose, including the completion code and reason code of the original request.
B) In the MQMD of the messages in question, COD and EXCEPTION reports will be requested;the Reply-to queue fields point at a queue on a central queue manager reserved for thispurpose.
C) In the MQMD of the messages in question, PAN, NAN and EXCEPTION reports will berequested; the Reply-to queue fields point at a queue on a central queue manager reservedfor this purpose.
D) In the MQMD of the messages in question, COD and EXCEPTION reports will be requested;the resulting report messages will be delivered to the SYSTEM.ADMIN.REPORT.QUEUE onthe receiving queue manager.
