A solution developer is writing a C language application on a UNIX platform. There is a requirement for the transactions to be processed within syncpoint control. What is the MINIMUM required MQ component on the application platform to achieve this functionality?

• A.WebSphere MQ Client Installation
• B.WebSphere MQ Extended Transactional Client Installation
• C.WebSphere MQ Server Installation
• D.WebSphere MQ Server Installation with the XA capabilities configured

An application creates documents in PDF format, which are subsequently transmitted via WebSphere MQ to a number of other servers in the network. Each server runs its own queue manager. The documents received by some servers are consistently corrupted, whereas on other servers the documents are intact. Other message traffic seems unaffected. What is the most likely source of this problem?

• A.The affected servers run different CCSIDs from the servers creating the documents and the message descriptor specifies MQMFormat as QSTR? causing message conversion.?QSTR? causing message conversion.
• B.Incompatible message compression parameters are configured on the sending and receiving channel agents.
• C.The environment variable MQCCSID specifies an incorrect value on the affected servers.
• D.The network connection to the affected servers is unreliable and a message retry exit was not specified on the sending channel agent.

A company has an existing point to point application written in C that distributes delivery status to queue Q1. They want to change the distribution to publish/subscribe so that other applications can subscribe to the delivery status information. Which of the following ways of changing to WebSphere MQ publish/subscribe will work with the least recoding?

• A.Change the sending application program to use WebSphere MQ publish/subscribe commandsin RFH2 headers instead of the point to point API
• B.Run WebSphere MQ in PSMODE=COMPAT
• C.Change the sending application program to use the WebSphere MQ publish/subscribe APIinstead of point to point
• D.Set up a queue alias for Q1 that is an alias for a subscription topic

A solution depends on messages being dropped during a queue manager restart. These messages are defined as nonpersistent. After a queue manager restarts, the solution designer notes that the messages were not dropped as expected but got processed. Which one of the following options is the likely cause?

• A.The application is putting the messages to a QALIAS with DEFPSIST(NO), however the targetqueue has DEFPSIST(YES) set
• B.The application has not set persistence, and the default persistence at the QMGR level isDEFPSIST(YES)
• C.The application is using permanent dynamic queues
• D.The messages reside on a z/OS shared queue

An organization uses WebSphere MQ V6 client interfaces extensively for non-critical processing. The line of business announces that an increase in transaction rates will be required soon, when a new set of clients will need to be serviced. The application suite has been performing up to expectations so far, but the new requirements will be problematic in the current environment. Which of the following new features of WebSphere MQ V7.0 can potentially be used to improve throughput for the above scenario?

• A.No significant throughput improvements can be achieved with WebSphere MQ V7.0.
• B.WebSphere MQ V7.0 Clients can be configured to pool connections, to send messages without waiting for acknowledgement from the queue manager, and to asynchronously receive and cache incoming messages, before they have been requested by the receiving applications.
• C.WebSphere MQ V7.0 Client channels can be configured to compress message data and thus save on network transmission time.
• D.WebSphere MQ V7.0 Client channels are significantly faster than their V6 counterparts by default, so the solution designer does not need to consider any functionality changes or examine performance impacts with the new traffic.
