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

1. 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 QLOCAL definition to include all channel names in trigger data attribute andinitiation queue as SYSTEM.CHANNEL.INITQ.
B) 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.
C) Modify the trigger monitor interface program (TMI) to handle 3 channels simultaneously.
D) Triggering more than one channel simultaneously is not possible.

2. What two environment variables can be set in a IBM WebSphere MQ client environment to direct a IBM WebSphere MQ application to use a client connection definition table?

A) MQCHLLIB and MQSERVER
B) MQCHLLIB and MQCHLTAB
C) MQTABLIB and MQCHLTAB
D) MQSERVER and MQCHLTAB

3. The operations team has created a new queue manager infrastructure using default settings to support the deployment of a company's new database warehousing application. This application sends messages to applications running on other queue managers, which process the messages and send replies. After deployment of the application the message throughput is much lower than expected. The operations team doesn't notice any resources issues with disk space, memory usage, or CPU usage, however, they do notice that there are many more messages on the reply to-queues than expected. They also notice that error messages are frequently generated as the application processes reply messages. What is the most probable cause of the performance slowdown?

A) The warehousing applications queue manger reply-to-queue filtering was not properly adjusted
B) The warehousing applications queue manager reply-to-queue handler was not disabled
C) The warehousing application was unintentionally deployed with trace route reporting enabled
D) The warehousing application has unintentionally requested activity reports for each message itcreates

4. An administrator is configuring communication between two queue managers, QM1 and QM2, and wants to create a remote queue on QM1 pointing to a local queue Q2 on QM2. Which one of the following MQSC commands will achieve this?

A) DEFINE QR(Q1) RNAME(QM2) RQMNAME(QM2) XMITQ(QM2)
B) DEFINE QR(Q1) RNAME(Q2) RQMNAME(QM2) XMITQ(QM2)
C) DEFINE QR(Q1) LIKE(Q2) RNAME(Q2) RQMGR(QM2)
D) DEFINE QL(QM1) USAGE(REMOTE) RNAME(Q2)+RQMNAME(QM2) XMITQ(QM2)

5. What should a company do to set up its MQ environment for media recovery?

A) No additional configuration is needed
B) Configure queue managers for advanced logging
C) Configure queue managers for linear logging
D) Modify logging so that log files are viewed as a closed loop
