IBM WebSphere MQ V7.0, System Administration Sample Questions:

1. A system administrator has defined the following MQ objects on three queue managers. An application connects to queue manager QM1 to put a message on ALIAS.Q99. Where does the message get delivered? QM1 DEFINE QALIAS(ALIAS.Q99) TARGET(Q99) DEFINE QREMOTE(Q99) RNAME(Q99) RQMNAME(QM3) ALTER QMGR DEFXMITQ(QM2) DEFINE QL(QM2) USAGE(XMITQ) DEFINE CHANNEL(QM1.TO.QM2) CHLTYPE(SDR) TRPTYPE(TCP) REPLACE + DESCR('Sender channel to QM2') XMITQ(QM2)+ CONNAME('9.20.9.32(1412)') QM2 DEFINE CHANNEL(QM1.TO.QM2) CHLTYPE(RCVR) TRPTYPE(TCP)REPLACE ALTER QMGR DEFXMITQ(QM3) DEFINEQL(QM3) USAGE(XMITQ) DEFINE CHANNEL(QM2.TO.QM3) CHLTYPE(SDR) TRPTYPE(TCP) REPLACE + DESCR('Sender channel to QM3') XMITQ(QM3)+ CONNAME('9.20.9.33(1415)') QM3 DEFINE CHANNEL(QM2.TO.QM3) CHLTYPE(RCVR) TRPTYPE(TCP)+ REPLACE DESCR('Receiver channel from QM2') DEFINE QL(Q99)

A) Q99 on QM3
B) MQI call will fail
C) dead-letter queue on QM1
D) dead-letter queue on QM2

2. A central manager on Solaris machine hosting several enterprise applications is connected to several other queue managers in a network. Each channel should be started automatically whenever there is a message for that channel to transmit?
What is the best way to achieve this?

A) Edit the qm.ini file for stanza MAXINITIATORS = the number of channels to be started
B) Modify the transmission queue of each channel to include the corresponding channel name in the trigger data attribute and the initiation queue as SYSTEM.CHANNEL.INITQ
C) Modify trigger interface to start all channels automatically
D) Start a number of channel initiator processes equal to the number of channels.

3. For the Solaris platform, which databases are supported as a resource manager in transactions coordinated by IBM WebSphere MQ V7.0?

A) DB2, Derby, Teradata
B) DB2, SQL Server, Sybase, Informix
C) DB2, Oracle, Informix, Sybase
D) Oracle, Derby, My SQL

4. A financial company is looking to take advantage of the publish/subscribe feature that IBM WebSphere MQ V7.0 offers. They would like to be able to share stock quotes between their feedhandlerapplications as quickly as possible. They also need to make sure that the publish/subscribe infrastructure is highly scalable as they will be adding additional feedhandler applications. What is the best publish/subscribe topology to meet the company's needs?

A) Publish/subscribe clusters
B) Publish/subscribe hierarchies
C) Publish/subscribe interconnections
D) Publish/subscribe broker bundles

5. An administrator needs to start three channels (QM1.TO.QM2, QM1.TO.QM3 and QM1.TO.QM4) simultaneously whenever a message is placed on queue QLOCAL on QM1. QLOCAL has been set for triggering with trigger type as first. Which actions will accomplish this task?

A) Modify the trigger monitor interface program (TMI) to handle 3 channels simultaneously.
B) Modify the QLOCAL definition to include all channel names in trigger data attribute andinitiation queue as SYSTEM.CHANNEL.INITQ.
C) Modify the QLOCAL definition to include the name of the process definition which will executeascript containingMQSC commands to start all channels and initiation queue as INITQ to bemonitored by trigger monitor process.
D) Triggering more than one channel simultaneously is not possible.
