IBM WebSphere Process Server V7.0, Integration Development Sample Questions:

1. An integration developer has created a single module to hold a parent BPEL process along with multiple child BPEL processes, which are all invoked by the parent process in a large application. The developer is considering reorganizing this application to position himself to better respond to potential changes over the lifetime of the application. What advice should be given to this developer as he decides how to reorganize this project?

A) Place each BPEL process into its own module, then review the entire project placing all commonly used project artifacts into a separate module to promote their reuse.
B) Use an integration solution to reorganize the project into smaller modules based on their core functions, and place any commonly used project artifacts into a library.
C) Review each child BPEL process looking for functionality that is commonly used throughout the application. Place this functionality into a new BPEL process using a library so that it can be shared by the other processes.
D) Review each module in the application looking for artifacts that can be reused in multiple modules. Use libraries to reorganized the project and avoid leaving reusable artifacts in modules because that would make them private.

2. Refer to the Exhibit. The exhibit shows a portion of a process state view monitoring an Account Verification process instance.

The Credit Check Service activity failed because the target service was unavailable due to a system crash. Since this failure happened during testing, the integration developer decided to manually enter sample output data so that the process can be resumed. Which of the following actions will BEST accomplish this task?

A) Select the "Jump to Another Activity" option on Credit Check Service, and then select Map Credit Checking Result as the target activity. Select the "Force Complete Source Activity and Jump" option to manipulate the output.
B) Select the "Skip Activity" option on Credit Check Service from the process state view.
C) Select the failed event associated with this process instance in the Failed Event Manager. Modify the business object and then resubmit the event.
D) Select the "Jump to Another Activity" option on Credit Check Service, and then select Map Credit Checking Result as the target activity. Select the "Force Complete Source Activity and Jump" option to manipulate the output.
E) Select Credit Check Service, and then select Map Credit Checking Result as its target activity. Modify the activity and resume.
F) Select the "Jump to Another Activity" option on Credit Check Service, and then select Map Credit Checking Result as the target activity. Select the "Force Complete Source Activity and Jump" option to manipulate the output.
G) Select the failed event associated with this process instance in the Failed Event Manager. Modify the business object and then resubmit the event.
H) Select the failed event associated with this process instance in the Failed Event Manager. Modify the business object and then resubmit the event.

3. Refer to the Exhibit.

Which of the following statements is TRUE about this configuration?

A) The custom view is also available in the Business Space Processes List widget.
B) The server must be restarted in order for the custom view to be available.
C) Before performing this task, the user must make sure that there are no active process instances running.
D) The System Administrator role is required for this task.

4. An integration developer is designing a business process where speed and performance are very important. Two independent process intensive Web services are called as part of the business flow. The process logic consists of assign activities plus the Web services invocations.
Which of the following is the BEST way to meet the performance requirements? The integration designer needs to design the business process as a:

A) microflow and invoke the two Web services in a sequence scope.
B) microflow and invoke the two Web services in a parallel activities scope.
C) long-running process and invoke the two Web services in a parallel activities scope.
D) long-running process and invoke the two Web services in a For Each loop.

5. Refer to the Exhibits. Exhibit 1 shows the assembly diagram of StockQuote mediation module.

Exhibit 2 shows the configuration of the StockQuote_Test. Which of the following statements is TRUE?

A) Since fine-grained trace is enabled for StockQuote_MediationFlow, the server starts cross-component trace once the test is invoked.
B) This configuration is set up to test the StockQuote_MediationFlow component in isolation.
C) A monitor for RealtimeService and DelayedService are not needed, since their corresponding emulator will display the data.
D) The monitor on StockQuote_MediationFlow will generate common base events upon the component execution.
