2. A company is using WebSphere MQ V7 publish/subscribe to publish status information about an application on the topic string ustomer/status?A company is using WebSphere MQ V7 publish/subscribe to publish status information about an application on the topic string ?ustomer/status? A new MQI application wants to subscribe to the status information, but is only interested in the information when the status is navailable? TheA new MQI application wants to subscribe to the status information, but is only interested in the information when the status is available The solution designer is evaluating ways to design the solution so that the application only receives a subscription when the status is available solution designer is evaluating ways to design the solution so that the application only receives a subscription when the status is available. The company does not mind writing additional code as long as it does not impact existing subscribers, but they do not want to change the topic. Which set of product(s)
can provide the needed publish/subscribe function using the least components?

A) WebSphere MQ V7.0 with the WebSphere MQ Explorer Publish/Subscribe plug-in SupportPac
B) WebSphere MQ V7.0
C) WebSphere MQ V7.0 with WebSphere Message Broker
D) WebSphere MQ V7.0 with WebSphere Message Broker and the WebSphere MQ Explorer Publish/Subscribe plug-in SupportPac

3. An application is being designed which will send updates about customers to different applications. Given the sensitive nature of the data, the sending application needs to manage which applications receive the datA. Which of the following is the best solution to ensure this?

A) All applications should listen on the same queue and after processing the message shouldupdate its header so the last application process can remove it from the queue
B) Each application should have its own queue on which it will listen for updates
C) All receiving applications should listen on the same queue and the sending application shouldsend separate copies of the message with attributes which allow the receiving applications tosearch the queue for their own copies.
D) Apply the publish-subscribe paradigm (one-to-many).

4. Which of the following is NOT a generally recommended best practice for naming conventions?

A) Queues should not have the word QUEUE in their name, nor should they have the topology inthe name (local, remote, alias, etc).
B) When possible, avoid forward slash (/) and percent (%) special characters because they cancause cross-platform difficulties.
C) Queue and channel names should be limited to less than 24 characters because of platformportability concerns.
D) Use full uppercase for WebSphere MQ objects, including the queue manager, to preventportability issues in heterogeneous environments.

5. The topic object for the topic x/y is defined with WILDCARD=PASSTHRU. Which of the following is the most appropriate use of a wildcard for this topic?
