Question 1

A system administrator completed a WebSphere Application Server installation by using the
Installation Manager. During installation, all defaults were selected for the installation root
directories and the shared resources directory. Over time, the administrator has updated the
installation with various interim fixes and fix packs. The administrator notices that the shared
resources directory is very large in size and grows larger each time the Installation Manager is run.
How can the administrator decrease the size and remove some of the content from the shared
resources directory?

  • A. Manually delete content from the directory.
  • B. During an update, create a new shared resources directory.
  • C. Clear the Delete Saved Files option for the Installation Manager.
  • D. Set the preserve Downloaded Artifacts preference to false.

Question 2

A system administrator ran the backup Config 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
restore config command, but the tuning properties for the service integration environment were not
restored.

Question 9

An application deployed to a multi-node cluster is reported to have slowness and hung threads. A

Explanation:
Problem(Abstract)
The SystemOut.log contains a WSVR0605W message, also called a hung thread message. A javacore,
or thread dump on Solaris and HP-UX, is needed in order to determine how to resolve the potentially
hung threads.
Cause
WebSphere Application Server attempts to report potentially hung threads using the hung thread
detector. Depending on how the hung thread detector policy is configured, a thread running for a
certain interval (default 10 minutes) might be reported as hung and a WSVR0605W message is
printed in the SystemOut.log file:
WSVR0605W: Thread <threadname> has been active for <time> and may be hung. There are
<totalthreads> in total in the server that may be hung.

Explanation:
The IBM Monitoring and Diagnostic Tools for Java - Health Center is a lightweight tool that monitors
active IBM Virtual Machines for Java with minimal performance overhead. The Health Center
suggests live tuning recommendations for Garbage Collection, profiles methods including call stacks,
and highlights contended locks. This information can help you optimize performance, improve
stability and optimize system resource usage.
The tool is provided in two parts:

which contains a string Connection on a WebSphere Application Server with High Performance
Extensible Logging (HPEL) enabled.

  • A. Configure log detail levels to include filter on “Connection” string.
  • B. Use the Log Viewer in the administrative console with filter on “Connection” string.
  • C. Use the logviewer.sh or logviewer.bat command with appropriate options.

Explanation:
The High Performance Extensible Logging (HPEL) facility writes to the log and trace repositories in a
binary format. You can view, query and filter the repository using the LogViewer command.
logviewer.sh -monitor -includeLoggers Connection
-monitor [integer]Specifies that you want the logViewer to continuously monitor the repository and
output new log record entries as they are created. You can provide an optional integer argument
after this parameter to specify how often you want the LogViewer tool to query the repository for
new records. By default the logViewer queries the repository for new records every 5 seconds. When
used with other filtering options, only those new records that match the filter criteria are displayed.

Question 12

A system administrator is required to monitor the application server logs for heap memory issues
and determine if the heap memory usage is reaching close to 70% of the maximum heap. The
application server is configured with an initial heap of 256 MB and a max heap of 1 GB.
How should the administrator determine if the application server is utilizing 70% of the max
allocated heap memory?

  • A. Check the System logs for OutOfMemoryErrors.Trigger a heap dump from the Integrated Solutions Console (ISC).Analyze the heap dump.
  • B. Configure WebSphere Application Server to enable verbose garbage collection.Analyze the garbage collection cycles in the native logs.
  • C. Configure Initial heap to be equal to the max heap.Trigger a heap dump from the Integrated Solutions Console (ISC).Analyze the heap dump.

Explanation:
Enabling verboseGC (Garbage Collection) output is often required when diagnosing issues with
WebSphere Application Server. Because verboseGC data is critical to troubleshooting memory and
performance problems and the overhead is generally very low, you may want to consider proactively
enabling it in your environment.

Explanation:
Dump agents are set up during JVM initialization. They enable you to use events occurring within the
JVM, such as Garbage Collection, thread start, or JVM termination, to initiate one of four types of
dump or to launch an external tool. Default dump agents are set up at JVM initialization They are
sufficient for most cases, but the use of the -Xdump option on the command line allows more
detailed configuration of dump agents. The total set of options and sub-options available under -
Xdump is very flexible and there are many examples presented in this chapter to show this flexibility.
Example: To generate system cores:
-Xdump:system:events=user

Question 15

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.

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.
