NEW QUESTION 3
A performance test team was testing the capacity of concurrent users of a web application deployed on a multi-processor server. While testing 250 concurrent users, the administrator discovers connections to the database are failing.
In response, a system administrator increased the connection pool to the maximum limit which the database allows and increased the prepared statement cache size. The test passed, but the application response time was slower.
How should the system administrator tune the data source properties to improve the application response time?

• A. Change connection pools purge policy.
• B. Decrease connection pool reap time.
• C. Decrease number of free pool partitions.
• D. Decrease the prepared statement cache size.

Answer: D

NEW QUESTION 4
A system administrator has to design a new production environment to host a web application. The workload of this web application is expected to increase during special marketing campaigns.
Which one of the following topologies should the administrator configure to address the requirements for this new environment?

• A. A Liberty collective environment with autonomic managers and on demand router (ODR).
• B. A flexible management environment supported by one admin agent running in each node of the cell.
• C. A dynamic cluster with autonomic managers, application placement controller and intelligent routers.
• D. A heterogeneous cell with enough server to support the peak load spread across multiple nodes on the same machine.

Answer: C

Explanation:
A dynamic cluster is a server cluster that uses weights and workload management to balance the workloads of its cluster members dynamically, based on performance information that is collected from the cluster members. Dynamic clusters enable application
server virtualization.
A dynamic cluster is an application deployment target that can expand and contract depending on the workload in your environment. Dynamic clusters work with autonomic managers, including the application placement controller and the dynamic workload manager to maximize the use of your computing resources. Dynamic clusters are required for many of the Intelligent Management autonomic functions, including high availability and service policies.

NEW QUESTION 8
An EJB application posts a request message into a JMS destination and waits for a response message on a different JMS destination. To correlate the response message to the request message, the application uses the JMS correlationId of the message. The application waits up to five seconds for a response before timing out the request.
A Message Driven Bean (MDB) running on a different cluster is responsible for consuming the request message, process it and post a response message.
The destinations are defined in a Service Integration Bus (SIB) within the cell.
Intermittent timeout exceptions have occurred for the requester application. How can a system administrator correlate and analyze the debug information from both requester and consumer applications?

• A. Enable High Performance Extensible Logging (HPEL).Use HPEL logViewer command to see debug information.
• B. Enable a diagnostic trace in both requester and consumer servers.Use the Integrated Solutions Console (ISC) to set the admin=all trace.Analyze the trace.
• C. Enable High Performance Extensible Logging (HPEL).Enable Cross Component Trace (XCT) to include request IDs in log and trace records.Use HPEL logViewer command with appropriate filters to see debug information.
• D. Using the Integrated Solutions Console (ISC), browse the request message that has timed out and look for any key application data.Search for exceptions using the key application data in both requester and consumer in native_stderr.log and native_stdout.log.

Answer: C

Explanation:
Cross Component Trace (XCT) annotates the logs so that log entries that are related to a request that is serviced by more than one thread, process, or even server are identified as
belonging to the same unit of work. XCT helps identify the root cause of problems across components.

NEW QUESTION 9
A system administrator has created a Jython script that will run in WebSphere Network cell where administrative security is enabled. This script is named doUpdate.py and will be run by using the following:
wsadmin –connType RMI –f doUpdate.py
How can the administrator suppress a user/password prompt from appearing when this script is run?
Set the user and password in the:

• A. sas.client.props file.
• B. ssl.client.props file.
• C. soap.client.props file.
• D. wsadmin.properties file.

Answer: A

Explanation:
The user Id and password needed for wsadmin to connect to a secured server can be
supplied as command line options and in properties files. If used together, command line options take precedence over what is in the properties files. The properties files are located at Profile_root/properties.
If you use a Remote Method Invocation (RMI) connector or a JSR160RMI connector, set the following properties in the sas.client.props file with the appropriate values: com.ibm.CORBA.loginUserid=
com.ibm.CORBA.loginPassword=

NEW QUESTION 11
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?

• A. Configure the storm drain health policy.
• B. Configure the on demand router (ODR) transport chain to tune inbound connections.
• C. Monitor the JVM heap usage to determine a new server weight.
• D. Enable the PMI Extended statistic set and use the Connection Pool summary report.

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.

NEW QUESTION 13
A system administrator ran the backupConfig 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 restoreConfig command, but the tuning properties for the service integration environment were not restore.
How can the administrator prevent this issue?

• A. Use full repository checkpoint for both the backup and the restore.
• B. Use the restoreConfig command with –nostop for the restore.
• C. Use the manageprofiles command for both the backup and the restore.
• D. Use the backupConfig command without –nostop for the backup
• E. Use the restoreConfig command without –nostop for the restore.

Answer: A

Explanation:
With the repository checkpoint and restore function, you can back up copies of files from the master configuration repository. You can use the backups to restore the configuration to a previous state if future configuration changes cause operational problems. By using this function, you can reduce recovery time for problems that are caused by configuration
changes. Studies of unplanned outages have shown that as much as 36 percent of unplanned outages are due to operator errors. A common source of operator error is a bad configuration change. The ability to quickly undo a bad configuration change is critical to minimizing the outage window.
