Question 2

Where do the images reside for an air-gapped Cloud Pak for Business Automation upgrade?

  • A. IBM registry
  • B. RedHat quay.io registry
  • C. Local registry
  • D. Docker Hub
Answer:

C


Explanation:
When performing an air-gapped upgrade of Cloud Pak for Business Automation, the images used for
the upgrade reside in a local registry. An air-gapped environment is one in which there is no external
network access, so the images cannot be pulled from a remote registry such as IBM registry, RedHat
quay.io registry, or Docker Hub. Instead, the images must be pre-pulled and stored in a local registry
that is accessible to the OpenShift cluster.

Question 3

What is a best practice for application pod high availability?

  • A. Use multiple pods across different worker nodes.
  • B. Use multiple pods across different master nodes.
  • C. Use multiple small pods on a master node.
  • D. Use multiple pods across both worker and master nodes.
Answer:

D


Explanation:
A best practice for application pod high availability is to use multiple pods across both worker and
master nodes. This ensures redundancy and increased availability of the application. Additionally,
using multiple small pods on a master node can improve resource utilization and reduce overall
costs. For more information on best practices for application pod high availability, please refer to the
following references: 1. "Pod Autoscaler Best Practices" from Kubernetes Docs:

Question 4

A starter deployment requires which two capabilities to be installed independently?

  • A. Operational Decision Manager and Automation Decision Services
  • B. Content Platform Engine and Navigator
  • C. Process Mining and Robotic Process Automation
  • D. Business Automation Insights and Kafka
Answer:

A


Explanation:
When deploying the Cloud Pak for Business Automation, the starter deployment requires one
capability to be installed independently:
Operational Decision Manager (ODM) and Automation Decision Services (ADS): These capabilities
provide a set of tools for creating and managing business rules, decision services, and analytics. They
are typically used to automate decision-making processes within an organization.

Question 5

How are the parameters set for accessing the images in an OpenShift Container Platform
environment?

  • A. In the custom resource file
  • B. In the XML config file
  • C. Using the oc set command
  • D. In the environment variable
Answer:

C


Explanation:
The parameters for accessing the images in an OpenShift Container Platform environment are set
using the oc set command. This command allows you to set image pull secrets and other image-
related parameters.
Reference:
[1]
https://docs.openshift.com/container-platform/4.4/openshift_images/image-pull-secrets.html
[2]
https://docs.openshift.com/container-platform/4.4/cli_reference/openshift_cli/oc-set.html
In an OpenShift Container Platform environment, the parameters for accessing images are set using
the "oc set" command. The "oc set" command allows an administrator to configure various aspects
of a deployment, such as environment variables, resource limits, and image pull secrets. These
parameters can be set for a specific deployment, service, pod, or other resource in the OpenShift
cluster.

Question 6

Which step is required to enable a trace specification for Business Automation Workflow?

  • A. Update the Custom Resource YAML.
  • B. Create a logging.xml file.
  • C. Create a ConfigMap.
  • D. Restart the Business Automation Workflow pods.
Answer:

C


Explanation:
To enable a trace specification for Business Automation Workflow, you must create a ConfigMap. This
ConfigMap will contain the trace specification that you wish to enable.

Question 7

What is one consideration for data backup within a multiple-zone cluster?

  • A. Make regular backups of each environment.
  • B. Enable the multiple-zone cluster sync feature.
  • C. Leverage the OpenShift 'replica sync' feature.
  • D. Make regular backups for the active zone only.
Answer:

D


Explanation:
When backing up data within a multiple-zone cluster, it is important to make regular backups for the
active zone only. This ensures that the data is up-to-date and any changes made in the other zones
are not lost if something goes wrong.

Question 8

What is the best approach to determine the cause of a performance issues with Operational Decision
Manager Rule Execution Server?

  • A. Enable an audit trace on the Decision Server Console.
  • B. Collect browser network trace.
  • C. Specify duration threshold and set log level to FINE.
  • D. Capture a JVM heap dump.
Answer:

A


Explanation:
The best approach to determine the cause of a performance issues with Operational Decision
Manager Rule Execution Server is to enable an audit trace on the Decision Server Console. This will
allow you to view detailed information about rule execution, including the time taken for each rule,
the parameters passed to each rule, and the results returned.

Question 9

Which two foundation pattern components are always deployed with any of the Cloud Pak for
Business Automation capabilities?

  • A. Kafka and Business Automation Studio
  • B. Application Engine (AE) and Platform Ul
  • C. Business Automation Navigator (BAN) and Resource Registry (RR)
  • D. Business Automation Insights (BAI) and Content Platform Engine (CPE)
Answer:

C


Explanation:
The two foundation pattern components that are always deployed with any of the Cloud Pak for
Business Automation capabilities are Business Automation Navigator (BAN) and Resource Registry
(RR). BAN provides an entry point for users to access the Business Automation capabilities, while RR
is the repository for the resources used in the deployment process. The other options are not related
to this process.
Reference:
[1]
https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSFTN5_9.7.1/com.ibm.wbpm.inst.doc/topics/t_patterns_overview.html

[3]
https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter
/SSFTN5_9.7.1/com.ibm.wbpm.inst.doc/topics/t_patterns
Business Automation Navigator (BAN) is a web-based application that provides a central location for
managing and monitoring the automation capabilities. Resource Registry (RR) is a centralized
metadata repository that holds information about the automation capabilities. Together, BAN and RR
provide the foundation for managing and monitoring the automation capabilities, and for storing
metadata about the automation capabilities.

Question 10

Which component is responsible for removing sensitive data in Business Automation Insights?

  • A. StoredlQ plugin.
  • B. SI Encryption module
  • C. Personal data discovery rules
  • D. Anonymization rules
Answer:

D


Explanation:
In Business Automation Insights, the component responsible for removing sensitive data is the
anonymization rules. These rules are used to mask or remove sensitive data from the logs before
they are indexed and stored in the Business Automation Insights data lake. The anonymization rules
can be defined based on the data type and the data masking or removal method. The anonymization
rules are typically used to mask or remove personal data, such as names, addresses, and other
identifying information.
