Question 1
You deploy more than one application to the same WebLogic container. The security is set on JavaEE
level and all deployed JavaEE applications use the same security roles.
What is your recommendation for an architecture with those requirement
- A. Combine all applications into a single one.
- B. Define global roles on the WebLogic Domain level.
- C. Use Ms Active Directory to keep the roles there.
- D. Use Oracle Identity and Access Management solution to simplify the management.
- E. Keep role mapping in the external WebLogic Role Mapped developed for that solution.
Answer:
B
Explanation:
Note:
* Types of Security Roles: Global Roles and Scoped Roles
There are two types of security roles in WebLogic Server:
/ A global security role can be used in any security policy. Oracle provides several default global roles
that you can use out of the box to secure your WebLogic resource
/ A scoped role can be used only in policies that are defined for a specific instance of a WebLogic
resource (such as a method on an EJB or a branch of a JNDI tree). You might never need to use
scoped roles. They are provided for their flexibility and are an extra feature for advanced customers.
Incorrect:
Not E: Role mapping is the process whereby principals (users or groups) are dynamically mapped to
security roles at runtime. In WebLogic Server, a Role Mapping provider determines what security
roles apply to the principals stored a subject when the subject is attempting to perform an operation
on a WebLogic resource. Because this operation usually involves gaining access to the WebLogic
resource, Role Mapping providers are typically used with Authorization providers.
Question 2
When your WebLogic Server solution needs to be scaled out with additional capacity and you dont
want to add additional hardware, which three techniques should you us?
- A. Assign more than one managed server to a physical hardware that allows better CPU utilization.
- B. Assign more than one application to one managed server to better utilize threads within a single JVM process.
- C. Assign the same application to more than one managed server to load balance requests between servers.
- D. Assign the same heap size to the managed server across the cluster for easier control of memory footprint
- E. Create a virtualized environment with hypervisor for an easier solution
Answer:
B, D, E
Question 3
A highly available WebLogic cluster in UNIX is configured for automatic server migration. Node
Managed is configured on both machines to start managed servers.
How should you simulate a managed server failure to test whether automatic server migration is
working?
- A. Shut down the managed server from the WebLogic console.
- B. Shut down the managed server using the WLST command through Node Manager.
- C. Run "kill -9" once to kill the managed server process.
- D. Run "kill -9" to kill the managed server process, and run "kill -9" one more time if the managed server is restarting.
Answer:
A
Explanation:
Note:
* It is recommended that you shutdown WebLogic Server instances through the Administration
Console.
* If automatic server migration is enabled, the servers are required to contact the cluster leader and
renew their leases periodically. Servers will shut themselves down if they are unable to renew their
leases. The failed servers will then be automatically migrated to the machines in the majority
partition.
Question 4
A customer claims that while redeploying a web application in the production system all their
customers are having to log in again. What do you recommend?
- A. Sessions can't be preserved when redeploying applications. The customer needs to consider redeployment during late nights when the traffic is low.
- B. Change the flag responsible for the development mode of their environment. In the production mode, all sessions are preserved while redeploying application.
- C. Change Hotspot to JRockit. Sessions can't be preserved on HotSpot when redeploying application.
- D. Use flag -version when redeploying the application. This will switch on the Side By Side deployment feature and preserve existing sessions.
- E. Open a service request with Oracle Support. This is unexpected behavior. Sessions are preserved without any extra settings.
Answer:
D
Explanation:
Restrictions on Production Redeployment Updates
WebLogic Server can host a maximum of two different versions of an application at one time.
Note:
* When you redeploy a new version of an application, you cannot change:
An application's deployment targets
An application's security model
A Web application's persistent store settings
To change any of the above features, you must first undeploy the active version of the application.
Incorrect:
* (not A)
Production redeployment enables you to update and redeploy an application in a production
environment without stopping the application or otherwise interrupting the application's availability
to clients. Production redeployment saves you the trouble of scheduling application downtime,
setting up redundant servers to host new application versions, manually managing client access to
multiple application versions, and manually retiring older versions of an application.
* (not C) Not dependant on whether the application is JRockit or Hotspot.
* (not E)
The production redeployment strategy is supported for:
Standalone Web Application (WAR) modules and enterprise applications (EARs) whose clients access
the application via a Web application (HTTP).
Enterprise applications that are accessed by inbound JMS messages from a global JMS destination, or
from inbound JCA requests.
All types of Web Services, including conversational and reliable Web Services, but not 8.x Web
Services.
Production redeployment is not supported for:
Standalone EJB or RAR modules. If you attempt to use production redeployment with such modules,
WebLogic Server rejects the redeployment request. To redeploy such modules, remove their version
identifiers and explicitly redeploy the modules.
Applications that use JTS drivers. For more information on JDBC application module limitations, see
JDBC Application Module Limitations in Configuring and Managing JDBC Data Sources for Oracle
WebLogic Server.
Applications that obtain JDBC data sources via the DriverManager API; in order to use production
redeployment, an application must instead use JNDI to look up data sources.
Applications that include EJB 1.1 container-managed persistence (CMP) EJBs. To use production
redeployment with applications that include CMP EJBs, use EJB 2.x CMP instead of EJB 1.1 CMP.

Question 5
A common approach to solve application performance issues is to add more hardware. Which two
reasons describe why this alone does not always solve performance problems?
- A. There may be a bottleneck in the application that additional hardware would not solve.
- B. Adding more hardware is costly and time consuming.
- C. Adding hardware at the application layer may place additional load on an already overloaded database, network appliance, or storage system.
- D. Adding more hardware may introduce new configuration requirements that need to be tested.
Answer:
A,C
Question 6
A customer has a critical, performance-sensitive web application that connects to a multinode Oracle
RAC database. Which feature of WebLogic can provide significant performance benefit?
- A. The Web Session Affinity feature of Active GridLink for RAC
- B. WebLogic Clustering
- C. The Transaction Affinity feature of Active GridLink for RAC
- D. Coherence*Web Session Replication
Answer:
A

Question 7
A customer needs to implement a Highly Available solution for JMS that has a primary data center
and a backup. Which three steps would you perform when designing your solution?
- A. Store Transaction Logs in a database and use Database stores for JMS to make replication between sites easier.
- B. Use file based Transaction Logs and JMS stores and implement a separate replication solution for files in addition to database in case database replication fails.
- C. Implement Oracle RAC at each site to provide a highly available solution within each datacenter.
- D. Configure Whole Server Migration to migrate WebLogic Managed Servers from the primary to the secondary site.
- E. Configure Automatic Service Migration for JMS high availability within a datacenter.

Question 8
Which WebLogic optimization allows one non-XA resource to participate in a distributed transaction?
- A. enabling Pinned to Thread
- B. enabling Logging Last Resource
- C. increasing the Statement cache size
- D. setting the statement cache type to LRU
- E. setting the initial and maximum capacity to the same number
Answer:
B

Question 9
A customer has a Stock Watch application that publishes stock recommendations to different
customers and programs. The stock recommendation message should be processed by only one of
the JMS Servers in the cluster. Which JMS model should be used?
- A. JMS Queue
- B. Distributed JMS Queue
- C. Uniform Distributed Topic
- D. Partitioned Distributed Topic
Answer:
A
Explanation:
JMS queue
A staging area that contains messages that have been sent and are waiting to be read. Note that,
contrary to what the namequeuesuggests, messages don't have to be delivered in the order sent. A
JMS queue only guarantees that each message is processed only once.
Incorrect:
Not B: (Only one queue required)
* A distributed destination is a set of destinations (queues or topics) that are accessible as a single,
logical destination to a client. A distributed destination has the following characteristics:
It is referenced by its own JNDI name.
Members of the set are usually distributed across multiple servers within a cluster, with each
destination member belonging to a separate JMS server.
* A distributed queue is a set of physical JMS queue members. As such, a distributed queue can be
used to create aQueueSender,QueueReceiver, and aQueueBrowser. The fact that a distributed
queue represents multiple physical queues is mostly transparent to your application.
Not Topic:
JMS topic
A distribution mechanism for publishing messages that are delivered to multiple subscribers.
Question 10
A customer has a critical, performance-sensitive web application that connects to a multimode
Oracle RAC database. Which feature of WebLogic can provide signification benefit?
- A. The Web Session Affinity feature of Active GridLink for RAC.
- B. WebLogic Clustering
- C. The Transaction Affinity feature of Active GridLink for RAC
- D. Coherence*Web Session Replication
Answer:
C
Explanation:
Active GridLink for Oracle RAC
In Oracle WebLogic Server 10.3.4, a single data source implementation has been introduced to
support an Oracle RAC cluster. It responds to FAN events to provide Fast Connection Failover (FCF),
Runtime Connection Load-Balancing (RCLB), and RAC instance graceful shutdown. XA affinity is
supported at the global transaction Id level. The new feature is called WebLogic Active GridLink for
RAC; which is implemented as the GridLink data source within WebLogic Server.
Note:
* The WebLogic Server JDBC subsystem has supported Oracle RAC since WLS version 9.0, originally
developed for Oracle9i RAC. This support is based on a particular type of data source configuration,
called a multi data source. A multi data source is a data source abstraction over one or more
individual data sources. It serves JDBC connections from each of the member data sources according
to a specified policy. A RAC multi data source configuration requires that each member data source
obtain connections to a particular RAC instance.

Question 11
A customer needs to ensure that the number of threads servicing an application does not exceed the
number of database connections available to the application.
What step must you take to address this situation?
- A. Configure a Max Threads Constraint and add your application to the list of applications for the Constraint.
- B. Configure a Work Manager with a Maximum Threads Constraint tied to the Connection Pool and configuration your application to use the Work Manager.
- C. Configure a Work Manager with a Minimum Threads Constraint tied to the Connection Pool and configure your application to use the Work Manager.
- D. Configure a global MaxThreads constraint and target it to the server or clusters where your application is deployed.
- E. Configure the startup parameter "-Dwls-maxThreads" to be the same as the number of database connections configured.
Answer:
B
Explanation:
To manage work in your applications, you define one or more of the following Work Manager
components:
Fair Share Request Class:
Response Time Request Class:
Min Threads Constraint:
Max Threads Constraint:
Capacity Constraint
Context Request Class:
Note:
* max-threads-constraintThis constraint limits the number of concurrent threads executing
requests from the constrained work set. The default is unlimited. For example, consider a constraint
defined with maximum threads of 10 and shared by 3 entry points. The scheduling logic ensures that
not more than 10 threads are executing requests from the three entry points combined.
A max-threads-constraint can be defined in terms of a the availability of resource that requests
depend upon, such as a connection pool.
A max-threads-constraint might, but does not necessarily, prevent a request class from taking its fair
share of threads or meeting its response time goal. Once the constraint is reached the server does
not schedule requests of this type until the number of concurrent executions falls below the limit.
The server then schedules work based on the fair share or response time goal.
* WebLogic Server prioritizes work and allocates threads based on an execution model that takes
into account administrator-defined parameters and actual run-time performance and throughput.
Administrators can configure a set of scheduling guidelines and associate them with one or more
applications, or with particular application components.
* WebLogic Server uses a single thread pool, in which all types of work are executed. WebLogic
Server prioritizes work based on rules you define, and run-time metrics, including the actual time it
takes to execute a request and the rate at which requests are entering and leaving the pool.
The common thread pool changes its size automatically to maximize throughput. The queue
monitors throughput over time and based on history, determines whether to adjust the thread
count. For example, if historical throughput statistics indicate that a higher thread count increased
throughput, WebLogic increases the thread count. Similarly, if statistics indicate that fewer threads
did not reduce throughput, WebLogic decreases the thread count. This new strategy makes it easier
for administrators to allocate processing resources and manage performance, avoiding the effort and
complexity involved in configuring, monitoring, and tuning custom executes queues.

Question 12
What are the three steps you should take to tune a JDBC Connection pool in WebLogic from the
initial settings in a production environment?
- A. Ensure the maximum size is increased to an appropriate setting.
- B. Set the minimum and maximum size of the connection pool to the same value.
- C. Increase the statement cache size.
- D. Add more heap to the JVM.
- E. Add more nodes to the cluster.
Answer:
A, C, E
Explanation:
A:
* Troubleshooting Slow Response Time from the Client and Low Database Usage
These symptoms are usually caused by a bottleneck upstream of the database, perhaps in the JDBC
connectionpooling. Monitor the active JDBC connections in the WebLogic Console and watch for
excessive waiters and wait times; increase the pool size, if necessary.
* Attribute: Maximum Capacity
Maximum number of physical database connections that this connection pool can contain. Different
JDBC Drivers and database servers may limit the number of possible physical connections.
C: Attribute: Statement Cache Size
The algorithm used to maintain the statement cache:
LRU - After the statementCacheSize is met, the Least Recently Used statement is removed when a
new statement is used.
Fixed - The first statementCacheSize number of statements is stored and stay fixed in the cache. No
new statements are cached unless the cache is manually cleared.
E: If the queue appears starved but adding execute threads does not improve performance,
there may be resource contention. Because CPU utilization is low, the threads are probably
spending much of their time waiting for some resource, quite often a database connection.
Use the JDBC monitoring facilities in the console to check for high levels of waiters or long
wait times. Adding connections to the JDBC connection pool may be all that is required to
fix the problem.
Note:
* If you had a JDBC connection pool where the Initial Capacity and Maximum Capacity attributes
were different, you might want to create a gauge monitor to monitor the maximum and minimum
number of connections.
By setting the Threshold Low value to be one less than the Initial Capacity, your gauge monitor
trapcould monitor the ActiveConnectionsCurrentCount attribute of the JDBCDataSourceRuntime
MBean and alert you whenever the number of active connections are less than the Initial Capacity
(which might indicate database connectivity problems).
Question 13
You have a durable subscriber, and the subscriber is down or not reachable when the message is
produced. Which two options regarding the expiry of these messages are true?
- A. after the subscriber is unavailable for 10 minutes
- B. when the subscriber is available
- C. after the subscriber is unavailable for after an hour
- D. are available until the specified time elapses
- E. are expired instantly
Answer:
B, D
Explanation:
By default, JMS messages never expire. When applications send messages to queues or topics with
durable subscribers, WebLogic must retain the message until it is consumed. This is fine in most
point-to-point messaging applications because consumers are constantly consuming messages. Any
message sent to a queue will typically be consumed in a relatively short period of time. If the
consumers get disconnected, they will usually reconnect as soon as possible and start processing any
messages that might have built up in the queue.
D: For durable subscribers to a topic, this is not necessarily true. The messaging system is forced to
retain any message that has not been consumed by a durable subscriber, regardless of whether that
durable subscriber will ever return. In this case, WebLogic is at the mercy of the durable subscriber
to unsubscribe when it no longer wishes to receive the messages. If the durable subscriber logic is
flawed in such a way that the subscribers do not unsubscribe properly, the messaging system will
start to fill up with messages that may never be delivered. This calls for real caution in using durable
subscribers. Fortunately, there is another way to help deal with this problem. Message expiration can
be set at the connection factory level. Using a connection factorys default time-to-live attribute, we
can specify the number of milliseconds that WebLogic should retain an undelivered message after it
is sent.
Question 14
Identify the two options that can be used to patch WebLogic Server without Incurring application
downtime.
- A. automated process using the Admin Server
- B. automated using JDeveloper
- C. manual process with or without Smart Update
- D. scripted with WLST
- E. automated process using Enterprise Manager 12c
Answer:
C, D
Explanation:
Note:
* Rolling Upgrade is the process of upgrading a running WebLogic Server cluster with a patch,
maintenance pack, or minor release without shutting down the entire cluster or domain. During the
rolling upgrade of a cluster, each server in the cluster is individually upgraded and restarted while the
other servers in the cluster continue to host your application.
