Hi All,
Can anybody help me for the following questions?
1). Which of the following statements about WebSphere MQ triggering is FALSE?
A. When the number of messages arriving on a queue is unpredictable configuring the queue as triggered is appropriate.
B. The program which processes the initiation queue is called a trigger-monitor application, and its function is to read the trigger message and take appropriate action.
C. Trigger events are controlled by using some of the attributes in defining the process definition.
D. Triggering can be done on every message or based on a message's priority
2). A communications failure has caused the loss of all channels to and from queue manager QM1. After resolving the communication problem, what steps should be taken to recover persistent messages on the channels at the time of the failure?
A. Issue RCRMQOBJ -T Q for all of the transmission queues
B. Restart the channels and they will recover automatically
C. Issue RESOLVE CHANNEL for all channels before restarting
D. Issue RESET CHANNEL for all channels before restarting
Thanks.

These two questions look similar to IBM certification (pre-)test questions.
I suggest trying to find/understand the answers yourself: from this forum and/or reading the recommended documentation.
If I was wrong please ignore this note.

For Question 1: D
Triggering can be done on every message and it can also be based on priority.
For Question 2:
Please read the "MQSeries Backup and Recovery" redbook.
C looks like an appropriate one.
Thanks,

Maybe my flip comment at the end of my previous post was the wrong one to put.
My only reason for replying to CoolDude's answers was so any one finding this thread wouldn't think that they were the correct answers. BTW, Meow, yours is wrong as well.
Please do not post any more guesses. The idea of the sample certification questions is to make you THINK and RESEARCH about the answers. After all, you will not learn anything by just asking for the answer.
But, I will give you one BIG hint for the certifications tests: READ THE QUESTION.

Sorry to rehash this thread but I'm studying for the 294 test and this sample question (1) is bugging me.
Eddie while I understand what you're saying about studying, I think a question like this comes down to word-play. And in that case study only helps so much.
My own thoughts on it are that the answer to (1) is (C). As the Trigger Event is not controlled by the attributes of the Process Definition, rather the Process Definition is created by using attributes from the Message that caused the Trigger Event. The Trigger Event is controlled by the definition of the Trigger.
Does this sound accurate?
Cheers,
Damian. |

I would guess on that one too Anyway there are no room for guessing; when asking a question, before I would answer on a cert. question here, I would appreciate if the one asking it also would give a
motivated guess, and not just expose the questions. some of the answers are 100%, and when eliminating them you'll have a fair chance to motivate the rest.
I see certification as a way of document the ability to read the question and understand it (under a little stress), nothing else. The questions (to my knowledge) are created so the "tricky test taker" will have hard times.
To pass 294 is pretty hard, /and that's ok), because it should require enought knowledge to solve normal situations. This can be Installing, customization, backup, recovery, troubleshooting, intercommunication etc. I hope to pass it later this year 
One of the biggest parts is reading and stay tuned on the differnet WMQ information sources. I find MQSeries.net the best, together with the IBM publications.
Not to be harsh, but quoting the complete questions might give MQSeries.net legal problems.
Just my $0.02

Jorgen, you got so many certifications and you haven't taken 294 yet?. I thought 294 was the easiest, and I took it first (basically because it was the first on the list). - successful at that too.
Now I'll consider taking on the other certifications on the list as well. |

1Q: Ans D. Triggering can be done on every message or based on a message's priority
2Q: Ans B. Restart the channels and they will recover automatically
Both of these questions appeared for me in MQ Administration Exam 294. and i have cleared it with 80%. and checked out the answers these are correct ones. |

It's already been stated before. D is NOT the answer to 1.
Also, in other parts of this forum, it's also been mentioned that revealing/discussing questions from the Certification tests is specifically NOT allowed. It could lead to legal problems for Brandon.
So, this thread STOPS HERE.
Cheers,

Look, there is a right way to ask for help, and a WRONG way.
The WRONG way is this:
| Quote: |
Hey guys, what is the answer to this????
1). Which of the following statements about WebSphere MQ triggering is FALSE?
A. When the number of messages arriving on a queue is unpredictable configuring the queue as triggered is appropriate.
B. The program which processes the initiation queue is called a trigger-monitor application, and its function is to read the trigger message and take appropriate action.
C. Trigger events are controlled by using some of the attributes in defining the process definition.
D. Triggering can be done on every message or based on a message's priority
|
The RIGHT way is this:
| Quote: |
Hey everyone, I have been reading the chapter on triggering in the Application Programming Guide. The way I understand it, I can configure a trigger to fire everytime a message arrives on the queue, or fire based on a message with a specific priority arriving. Is this the case?
|
See, I can ask the same thing two different ways, but in the second one, at least I make it sound like I've done some research, and I'm not just looking for the quick answer. Now whether that's actually the case or not is another story
