IBM Assessment: IBM Sterling Order Management V9.1 Deployment Sample Questions:

1. The system administrator overseeing the IBM Sterling Order Management installation has requested that the QA team provide a version number with each build deployed to production. This version number will then be used to ascertain the version of the configuration present in production. How should the QA manager satisfy this request?

A) The QA manager should use the data versioning feature provided by the Configuration Deployment Toolkit. The system administrator can thenlaunch the Applications Manager to view the version details.
B) The QA manager does not have to do anything because the version number is inserted automatically by the build process into the web.xml fileand will be made available by the application server.
C) The QA manager should request the development team implement a user exit of the getSystemProperties API such that the API will return theversion number of the configuration currently deployed.
D) The configuration version number should be present in a custom table and updated with each build. The APIs generated by the IBM SterlingOrder Management database extensibility framework can be used by the system administrator to identify the version.
