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

1. A WebSphere MQ server h installed on Windows. The INITIAL_ CONTEXT_FACTORY is set to com.sum.jndi.fscontext.RefFSContextFactory in the JMSAdmin.conf file.
After an administrator successfully executes a series of commands using JMSAdmin facility to create JMS objects, which of the following statements is true?

A) A queue manager is created
B) A DB2 database is used
C) A file named .bindings is created
D) LDAP server is used

2. An administrator deployed a new application on queue manager QMGR1 in their AIX server. The administrator notices that the application is crashing frequently and contacts the IBM support team for help. The IBM support team asks the administrator to send any First Failure Support Technology (FFST) files that have been generated. Which of the following files should the administrator send to the IBM support team?

A) AMQ*.ERROR files from /var/mqm/qmgrs/QMGR1/errors directory
B) AMQ*.FFST files from /var/qmgrs/QMGR1/errors directory
C) AMQ*.FDC files from /var/mqm/errors directory
D) AMQ*.LOG files from /var/mqm/trace directory

3. Queue managers QMGR1 and QMGR2 are members of cluster QMCLUS. An application connected to QMGR1 needs to send messages to a local queue APP.LOCAL of QMGR2. The administrator creates the following definitions: On QMGR1: DEFINE QALIAS(APP.ALIAS) + TARGET(APP.LOCAL) + CLUSTER(QMCLUS) On QMGR2: DEFINE QLOCAL(APP.LOCAL) + MAXDEPTH(50000) The administrator is notified that the application is unable to send messages to APP.LOCAL. What is the most likely cause?

A) The cluster channels have not been started.
B) The queue APP.LOCAL is not a cluster queue.
C) The QALIAS cannot be defined on a cluster.
D) The SYSTEM.CLUSTER.TRANSMIT.QUEUE is full.

4. Refer to the Exhibit for the setup of queue managers in a company. An application connected to QMGR1 needs to send messages to queue QMGR3.LOCAL. The administrator creates the following definition on QMGR1: DEFINE QREMOTE(QMGR3.REMOTE) +RQMNAME(QMGR3)+
RNAME(QMGR3.LOCAL) + XMITQ(QMGR2) The application puts 7000 messages upon starting onQMGR3.REMOTE which results on a queue full condition on QMGR3.LOCAL. Where would the excess messages end up?

A) QMGR2.DEAD
B) Transmit Queue QMGR3
C) QMGR3.DEAD
D) Transmit Queue QMGR2

5. The warehouse application is reporting issues with trying to read messages from its input message queue, PRIME_REPOS_Q. There are three applications that access this queue via QALIAS definitions, as follows: DEFINE QLOCAL (PRIME_REPOS_Q) DEFINE QALIAS (WAREHOUSE1_AQ) TARGET (PRIME_REPOS_Q) DEFINE QALIAS
(WAREHOUSE2_AQ)TARGET (PRIME_REPOS_Q)DEFINE QALIAS (WAREHOUSE3_AQ)
TARGET (PRIME_REPOS_Q) The warehouse application has notified the operations team they need to stop the incoming messaging traffic while they work to resolve their message read issue. What action does the operation team need to take to fulfill the warehouse application teams request? Issue the command(s):

A) ALTER QLOCAL(PRIME_REPOS_Q) PUTMSG (DISABLED) GETMSG (ENABLED)
REFRESH QALIAS (WAREHOUSE1_AQ)
REFRESH QALIAS (WAREHOUSE2_AQ)
REFRESH QALIAS (WAREHOUSE3_AQ)
B) ALTER QALIAS (WAREHOUSE1_AQ) TARGET (PRIME_REPOS_Q) PUT(DISABLED)
GET(ENABLED) PUSHUPDATE
ALTER QALIAS (WAREHOUSE2_AQ) TARGET (PRIME_REPOS_Q) PUT (DISABLED)
GET(ENABLED) PUSHUPDATE
ALTER QALIAS (WAREHOUSE3_AQ) TARGET (PRIME_REPOS_Q) PUT (DISABLED)
GET(ENABLED) PUSHUPDATE
C) ALTER QLOCAL(PRIME_REPOS_Q) PUTMSG (DISABLED) GETMSG (ENABLED)UPDATE
ALIASES FOR QUEUE(PRIME_REPOS_Q)
D) ALTER QLOCAL(PRIME_REPOS_Q) PUT (DISABLED) GET (ENABLED)
