IBM Assessment: IBM WebSphere MQ V7.0, System Administration - A2180-374 Exam Practice Test

An administrator wants to use WebSphere MQ Explorer to administer a queue manager which is hosted on a remote Windows server.
Which of the following objects on this remote queue manager must be running in order to be connected from WebSphere MQ Explorer?

Two queue managers, QMGR1 and QMGR2, are running on Windows connected by sender receiver channels. An application connected to QMGR1 puts persistent messages on a remote queue of QMGR1 destined for a local queue of QMGR2. The administrator is notified that the messages have not reached QMGR2. On investigation the administrator notices that the server on which QMGR2 runs has crashed and rebooted automatically. The administrator also notices that the sender channel on QMGR1 is in an in doubt state. What action can the administrator take to recover the messages?

A company has its retail business applications running on IBM WebSphere MQ infrastructure across heterogeneous platforms. After a recent failure, the company set up a failover mechanism where a centrally located z/OS server hosts the main application and applications on other servers connect to the main application using distributed queuing. What term best describes this topology?

The IBM MQ Supports has asked the administrator to recreate a problem on AIX with trace enabled.
What commands does the administrator need to run to collect a formatted trace?

A banking finance company is setting up their new credit card business application on a WebSphere MQ based infrastructure. Most of the business application are equally used by various departments and the application is expected to handle varying word loads. The architect has been asked to minimize personnel requirements for administration.
Which topology will meet these specific requirements?

Which of the following are valid methods for installing a WebSphere MQ client on an AIX platform?
Install WebSphere MQ client.

An application sends messages into a queue which has multiple instances within a cluster. There are no requirements for message affinity and the default value is kept for the attribute DEFBIND on the queue definition. In order to benefit from the workload management of clustering, what option needs to be specified on the MQOPEN call from the application?

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)

As part of the planned migration from IBM WebSphere MQ V6.0 brokers to IBM WebSphere MQ V7.0, the publishing and subscribing applications have moved to IBM WebSphere MQ V7.0 and all that is left are the brokers. After IBM WebSphere MQ V7.0 is installed, what actions do the IBM WebSphere MQ administrators need to take to complete the migration?

Which attribute is checked first by the cluster workload management algorithm when determining the destination for messages being put onto a cluster queue?

MYTOPIC has been defined with the command: DEFINE T(MYTOPIC)
