IBM Assessment: IBM WebSphere Operational Decision Management V8.0, Application Development Sample Questions:

Question 1

Decision Center contains the following:
-Two rule projects: CorporateRiskAssessment and NewYorkRiskAssessment.
-One RuleApp RiskAssessmentRuleApp with a single ruleset CorporateRiskAssessmentRuleset.
An application developer needs to deploy the NewYorkRiskAssessment rule project to Rule
Execution Server as a separate ruleset. Updates to NewYorkRiskAssessment need to be
deployed in a single action with updates to CorporateRiskAssessment. How should the application
developer setup the RuleApp structure in Decision Center to accomplish these requirements?

A. Under Configure > Manage RuleApps, click Deploy to add the NewYorkRiskAssessmentRuleset ruleset.
B. Under Configure > Manage RuleApps, click New to create a new NewYorkRiskAssessmentRuleset ruleset.
C. Under Configure > Manage RuleApps, select RiskAssessmentRuleApp and click Edit to add the NewYorkRiskAssessmentRuleset ruleset.
D. Select the NewYorkRiskAssessment rule project on the Home tab, and under Project > Manage Subbranches and Baselines > Baselines, click New to add the NewYorkRiskAssessmentRuleset ruleset.

Question 2

A. Set the monitoring.filters property to Customer.largeString1,Customer.largeString2.
B. Set the ruleset.bom.enabled property to false and in Customer.toString() return a value containing Customer.largeString1 and Customer.largeString2
C. Set the monitoring.inout.filters property to INFO_WORKING_MEMORY=true,WORKING_MEMORY_FILTER=com.test.Customer.
D. Set the monitoring.inout.filters property to Customer.largeString1,Customer.largeString2.

Question 5

CORRECT TEXT
