Question #1
A system administrator ran the backup Config command to backup the configuration using the -nostop option. The administrator changed the properties for the service integration environment by modifying the sib.properties file. During testing the administrator noticed Service Integration Bus related errors and wanted to restore the service integration environment. The administrator used the restore config command, but the tuning properties for the service integration environment were not restored. How can the administrator prevent this issue?
Correct answer: B
Explanation
backupConfig -nostop leaves the servers running, so the matching restoreConfig must also be run with -nostop for the saved configuration files, including the service integration tuning properties, to be put back.

Question #2
A web application is hosted on an application server that receives HTTP requests from a third party application named myApp. The URIGroup mapping for this application is called default_host_myApp. The development team asks a system administrator to configure the HTTP plug-in to prevent routing requests to any application server except server1. The following exhibit shows the parts of the plugin-cfg.xml file that are relevant for myApp. The UriGroups for other applications are not shown in the exhibit. What should the administrator do to the plugin-cfg.xml file to ensure that requests for default_host_myApp URIGroup are routed only to machine1?

Correct answer: A
Explanation
Removing the Server element whose CloneId is b20000002, together with its nested elements, leaves only server1 in the cluster definition, so the plug-in can route default_host_myApp requests to machine1 only. Changing weights would only bias routing, not prevent it.

Question #3
A newly deployed application has authorization errors when invoking EJB methods from a servlet. An additional review indicates that users are authenticated, but do not have the correct authorization. How can a system administrator fix the issue ensuring only authorized access?
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The users authenticate, so the registry is fine; the unmapped security roles must be bound to the appropriate groups in the user registry. Mapping roles to Everyone would grant access to unauthorized users.

Question #4
An application deployed to a multi-node cluster is reported to have slowness and hung threads. A system administrator is asked to review the logs on each node and identify if the hung threads are a false alarm. How can the administrator determine that the hung threads are a false alarm? Analyze the:
Correct answer: C
Explanation
Problem(Abstract) The SystemOut.log contains a WSVR0605W message, also called a hung thread message. A javacore, or thread dump on Solaris and HP-UX, is needed in order to determine how to resolve the potentially hung threads. Cause WebSphere Application Server attempts to report potentially hung threads using the hung thread detector. Depending on how the hung thread detector policy is configured, a thread running for a certain interval (default 10 minutes) might be reported as hung and a WSVR0605W message is printed in the SystemOut.log file: WSVR0605W: Thread <threadname> has been active for <time> and may be hung. There are <totalthreads> in total in the server that may be hung. References: https://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21448581

Question #5
A system administrator discovers an issue that requires a change to a federated server. In this cell, WebSphere administrative security is enabled, but application security is not enabled. How should the administrator make this change? The administrator should use:
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The admin_host virtual host is used for access to the WebSphere administrative console. At installation time, the host is configured to match requests on the wc_adminhost and wc_adminhost_secure ports for the stand-alone server or deployment manager.

Question #6
A system administrator completed a WebSphere Application Server installation by using the Installation Manager. During installation, all defaults were selected for the installation root directories and the shared resources directory. Over time, the administrator has updated the installation with various interim fixes and fix packs. The administrator notices that the shared resources directory is very large in size and grows larger each time the Installation Manager is run. How can the administrator decrease the size and remove some of the content from the shared resources directory?
Correct answer: D
Explanation
Because product payloads are cached in this directory, space requirements can grow very large over the lifetime of the product, as service updates are applied. The WebSphere Application Server product image is large, so if this content is permitted to accumulate, then this directory will grow to be many gigabytes in size over the course of multiple fix pack applications. You should never manually delete the content in this folder. Instead, during any installation or maintenance operation, you can specify the following preference to remove some of the content in this folder: –preferences com.ibm.cic.common.core.preferences.preserveDownloadedArtifacts=false References: https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSAW57_7.0.0/com.ibm.websphere.inst allation.soafepnd.doc/info/ae/ae/tins_installfp_dist.html

Question #7
A system administrator wants to learn some of the Python scripting commands for the administration of the environment. Which product feature should the administrator use?
Correct answer: D
Explanation
Enabling command assistance logging in the console records the wsadmin scripting command equivalent of each administrative action performed, which is the easiest way to learn the scripting syntax.

Question #8
A system administrator has created a Jython script called globalScript.py. What should the administrator do to ensure globalScript.py is loaded when the wsadmin shell is used?

Question #9
A system administrator has created a Python script called globalScript. py. What should the administrator do to ensure globalScript. py is loaded when the wsadmin shell is used?
Correct answer: D
Explanation
Profile scripts listed in the script profiles property of wsadmin.properties are executed whenever wsadmin starts, so adding globalScript.py there loads it automatically.

Question #10
While monitoring a cluster in the cell, the administrator notices that one server in the cluster periodically loses connections to the database. When this happens, requests to the server have a significantly decreased response time and various error conditions are listed in the log files for the server. Since the error codes are returned quickly, the server starts returning responses faster than the average service times for the application. Due to this, the weight for the server is increased and a large percentage of incoming requests are being routed to the erroneous server and the server is getting overloaded with requests. How can the administrator detect these conditions in the future and take action to prevent this problem?
Correct answer: A
Explanation
Storm drain condition tracks requests that have a significantly decreased response time. This policy relies on change point detection on given time series data. References: https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSAW57_8.5.5/com.ibm.websphere.nd.doc /ae/cwve_odhealth.html
