IBM FileNet P8 V5.1, Deployment Professional Sample Questions:

1. A highly available IBM FileNet P8 environment has just been installed with horizontally scaled Process Engine (PE) servers using a hardware load balancer. There are currently two PE servers in this farm. There are three Connection Points currently configured, one for PE #1, one for PE #2, and one for the virtual address and port of the farm as defined in the load balancer. Additionally there are load balanced implementations of Workplace XT (WPXT) and Content Engine (CE). Assuming all P8 core components are currently active, and the Connection Point for the PE farm is currently selected in the WPXT Site Preferences, which of the following is the best choice for validating PE functionality in conjunction with the load balancer.

A) Open two browsers. In the first browser logon to WPXT and change the Site Preferences by selecting a Connection Point that is configured for PE #1. In the second browser, logon to WPXT, launch a previously created two-step workflow. Complete the first step of the workflow. In the first browser select a Connection Point that is configured for PE #2. In the second browser, complete the second step of the workflow.
B) Shutdown PE #2. Logon via WPXT. Open Process Designer. Create a simple two-step workflow definition. Validate the workflow definition. Start PE #2 and shutdown PE #1. Launch the workflow. Close Process Designer. Complete the first step of the workflow. Start PE #1 and shutdown PE #2. Complete the second step of the workflow.
C) View the PE Ping Page of the load balancer (i.e. http://<virtual_name>:<virtual_port>/IOR/ping). Continue to refresh this page in the browser until both PE servers respond. View the PE Ping Page of each PE server directly. Compare the results.
D) The required PE session affinity, defined in the load balancer, prevents in-process transactions from failing over to a secondary PE in farmed environment. If a failure occurs, the transaction is rolled-back and the user must restart that transaction upon failing over to a new PE. To test this functionality, begin some PE related work such as launching a workflow and just before completing a step, shutdown the active PE. When attempting to complete the workflow step, the user will have to relaunch that step to continue.

2. A customer is planning for a IBM FileNet P8 environment implementation and needs to identify the solution component dependencies. What are the dependencies for Content Engine?

A) Process Engine client files, directory server, application server, and database.
B) Process Engine client files, application server, and database .
C) Application server and database.
D) Process Engine client files, directory server, and application server.

3. A customer is upgrading and merging two IBM FileNet P8 domains into a single new IBM FileNet P8 V5.1 domain. One source domain is at IBM FileNet P8 V3.5.2, the other is at IBM FileNet P8 V4.5.1. Both source domains use the same LDAP. What order, if necessary, needs to be followed when upgrading and adding the source domains into the new unified domain?

A) You must add the P8 V3.5.2 source domain first.
B) You must add the P8 V4.5.1 source domain first.
C) There is no order precedence.
D) You cannot merge P8 3.5.2 and P8 4.5.1 source domains together while upgrading.

4. A customer wants to install IBM Content Search Services (CSS) in servers separate from the IBM FileNet Content Engine (CE) and needs to identify, at a high level, the installation and configuration task sequence. What is the complete sequence of installation and configuration tasks that should be performed for the installation and configuration of CSS?

A) Install CSS on the search server, obtain the CSS authentication token and using FileNet Enterprise Manager (FEM) configure CSS servers on CE in Index, Search, or IndexAndSearch mode. Use FEM to add index areas for CSS and enable text search on the object store.
B) Apply the CSS client files to the CE servers, install CSS on the search server, and obtain the CSS authentication token. Using FEM configure CSS servers on CE in Index, Search, or IndexAndSearch mode. Use FEM to add index areas for CSS. Use Workplace to enable text search on document classes.
C) Apply the CSS client files to the CE servers, install CSS on the search server and obtain the CSS authentication token. Use FEM to configure CSS servers on CE in Index, Search, or IndexAndSearch mode. Use FEM to add index areas for IBM CSS and enable text search on the object store.
D) Apply the CSS client files to the CE servers, install CSS on the search server and obtain the CSS authentication token. Using FEM configure CSS servers on CE in Index, Search, or IndexAndSearch mode. Use FEM to enable text search on the object store.

5. A P8 administrator has discovered that a new fix pack was released for the Content Search Engine client files. On which IBM FileNet P8 component(s) should the administrator apply this fix pack?

A) Content Search Engine server only.
B) Application Engine and Content Search Engine servers.
C) Process Engine and Application Engine servers.
D) Content Engine servers.
