IBM A2180-608 : Assessment: IBM WebSphere Process Server V7.0, Deployment

An application is processing a sales order between two SCA modules. The business process requires that all invocations between the modules are performed in a specific order. A runtime problem on one of the asynchronous invocations caused the application to fail and the processing stopped for one of the transactions. What should a deployment professional do to solve the problem?

• A. Identify the failed sequenced event related to the asynchronous invocation of the calling module and resubmit the event.
• B. Identify the failed business process invoke activity and restart the activity to resubmit the event and complete the transaction.
• C. Enable the store-and-forward feature for the application and the events will be processed automatically if the runtime problem is solved.
• D. Use the esAdmin tool to manually release all locks of the failing application module and restart the application.

An application has been deployed on a clustered WebSphere Process Server environment using the Remote Messaging and Remote Support pattern. To handle asynchronous invocation problems, the store-and-forward capability is enabled for several applications. During the test phase one of the target services invoked by the application became unavailable. Which of the following statements is TRUE regarding recovery of events?

• A. Multiple failed events might have been created by different cluster members. All failed events
  must be resubmitted before the Store and
  Forward widget in the Business Space is set to Forward mode.
• B. No manual intervention is necessary. WebSphere Process Server will poll the target service
  and once it is available, all remaining sequenced
  events will be automatically processed.
• C. A single failed event has been generated by one of the cluster members when the target
  service became unavailable. Resubmit all failed
  events once the target service is available.
• D. No manual intervention is necessary. If the store-and-forward feature is activated on a single
  cluster member due to a target service outage,
  the remaining cluster members will take over and complete the invocation transactions.

A deployment professional is using the Common Base Event Browser to diagnose a problem with an application. After login, an error message is displayed when clicking the "Get events" button. The deployment professional checks that the server is available and that the application has been started on the server. What is the cause of the error message?

• A. Insufficient authority to access the CEI bus.
• B. The application deployed did not have event generation enabled.
• C. The Common Event Infrastructure (CEI) server is unavailable.
• D. The messaging engines have not been started.

A company has deployed many applications accessing the same backend services. Many of the applications share the same WSDL and Business Objects. New applications to be deployed in the near future will use updated backend service definitions. In addition, the memory usage has dramatically increased over the last deployments and may prevent new application deployments on the same environment. Which of the following recommendations would a deployment professional MOST likely provide?

• A. The development team must review the applications and provide a single module for the backend access. Shared WSDL and Business Objects can be deployed with the new application.
• B. The system administrator can deploy new applications including all libraries needed. During the deployment the libraries of other applications with the needed WSDL and Business Objects can be referenced as a shared library.
• C. The development team should identify common artifacts used by the application. A shared library can be deployed independently and referenced by the applications.
• D. The environment must be prepared for new applications by increasing the heap size of the servers or new servers must be added to the environment to share the workload.

A deployment professional is asked to clean up several failed events that belong to a long running business process in a clustered WebSphere Process Server environment. These failed events were created as a result of an identified outage of the backend database. Several instances of this business process were created during this outage and have been deleted. What corrective action should the deployment professional take to clean up these failed events?

• A. Find the events in the Failed Event Manager that belong to the Business Flow Manager hold queue and replay the Hold queue messages.
• B. Create a custom program and use the Business Flow Manager API queryHldQueueMessage to query all the events and deleteHldQueueMessage to discard the failed events.
• C. Create a custom program and use the queryFailedEvents method of the FailedEventManager interface to query all the events associated with this business process, and use the discardFailedEvents method.
• D. Use the configRecoveryForCluster command to specify a cluster, that is configured to manage failed events.
