3.
During a standard IBM Maximo Asset Management V7.5 installation, character fields under 26 characters are set to which default search type?
Correct Answer
D. Wildcard
Explanation
During a standard IBM Maximo Asset Management V7.5 installation, character fields under 26 characters are set to the default search type of Wildcard. This means that when searching for a specific value in these fields, the system will look for matches that contain the specified value anywhere within the field, rather than an exact match. This allows for more flexibility in searching and can help retrieve relevant results even if the search criteria is not an exact match.

A company has recently installed IBM Maximo Asset Management 7.5 (Maximo) and experienced a few bugs that are fixed with the latest fix pack. The Maximo administrator shuts down the Maximo Java Virtual Machine and proceeds to uninstall all the Maximo applications from the J2EE server. Once the fix pack is installed, the administrator builds a new Maximo EAR and redeploys it to the J2EE server. The administrator logs in and validates the new fix pack has been installed by checking the version from Help > System Information and determines the fix pack installation was successful. Later that day the Help Desk calls and says that no one can view any application help information, and the help link is not available. Why?
Correct Answer
D. The Maximo administrator did not build and deploy the maximoiehs.ear file after installing the fix pack.
Explanation
After installing the fix pack, the Maximo administrator did not build and deploy the maximoiehs.ear file. This file contains the necessary information for the help functions in Maximo. As a result, when users try to access the application help information, they are unable to do so and the help link is not available.

Implementation queries can have a performance impact on IBM Maximo Asset Management V7.5 in three areas: escalation, workflow condition, and Start Center result set portlet. Escalation queries are used to automate the process of notifying users or groups when certain conditions are met. If these queries are not optimized, it can affect the performance of the system. Workflow conditions are used to determine the flow of actions in a workflow process. If the queries used in these conditions are not efficient, it can impact the performance of the workflow. Start Center result set portlet displays data based on queries, and if these queries are not optimized, it can affect the performance of the Start Center.
21.
When tuning the heap size for a Java Virtual Machine, what do an excessive number of instances of garbage collection likely indicate?
Correct Answer
B. The heap size is too small.
Explanation
An excessive number of instances of garbage collection likely indicate that the heap size is too small. When the heap size is too small, it leads to frequent garbage collection because there is not enough space to accommodate all the objects being created. This results in the JVM constantly trying to reclaim memory by performing garbage collection, causing performance issues and potentially impacting the application's responsiveness.
22.
What will happen during the IBM Maximo Asset Management V7.5 (Maximo) installation when this configuration option is selected: Copy files now, but perform the installation configuration step later?

C. Files from the installation source are copied to the administrative workstation during the install and taskRunner must be run manually to complete the installation.
Explanation
During the IBM Maximo Asset Management V7.5 installation, selecting the option "Copy files now, but perform the installation configuration step later" will result in the files from the installation source being copied to the administrative workstation. However, the installation configuration step will not be completed automatically. Instead, the taskRunner must be run manually to complete the installation process.
23.
What is the impact on user performance during the garbage collection process?
Correct Answer
C. The application appears frozen during garbage collection.
Explanation
During the garbage collection process, the application appears frozen. This means that while the system is cleaning up and removing unused objects from memory, the application may temporarily stop responding to user inputs. This can have a negative impact on user performance as they may experience delays or unresponsiveness during this time.
24.
A Maximo Integration Framework (MIF) cluster will be added alongside an existing User Interface (UI) cluster. What must be configured for the new MIF cluster?

26.
After turning on Verbose Garbage Collection, which two pieces of information are written to the log that are critical to performance evaluation? (Choose two.)
Correct Answer(s)
D. Amount of free and used bytes in the heap
E. Interval between garbage collection sweeps
Explanation
When verbose garbage collection is turned on, two critical pieces of information are written to the log for performance evaluation. The first piece of information is the amount of free and used bytes in the heap. This information helps in understanding the memory usage and efficiency of the application. The second piece of information is the interval between garbage collection sweeps. This helps in determining how frequently the garbage collector is running and if it is impacting the performance of the application.
27.
What is true of thread pools when used in a Java Virtual Machine (JVM)?
Correct Answer
D. Thread pools enable components of the server to reuse threads and eliminate the need to create new threads at run time to service each new request.
Explanation
Thread pools enable components of the server to reuse threads and eliminate the need to create new threads at run time to service each new request. This means that instead of creating a new thread for each task or request, the thread pool can assign an idle thread from the pool to handle the task. This improves efficiency and performance by reducing the overhead of thread creation and destruction. It also allows for better resource management and control over the number of concurrent threads running in the JVM.
28.
Which statement explains to a customer why a web server is necessary for IBM Maximo Asset Management configurations?
Correct Answer
D. The web server load balancing provides the ability to load balance user interface traffic across multiple JVMs.
Explanation
The web server load balancing provides the ability to distribute user interface traffic evenly across multiple Java Virtual Machines (JVMs). This ensures that the application can handle high traffic loads and improves performance and scalability. By load balancing the traffic, the web server ensures that each JVM receives an equal share of the workload, preventing any single JVM from becoming overwhelmed. This helps to optimize the performance and availability of the IBM Maximo Asset Management application.
29.
When tuning the heap size of a Java Virtual Machine, what does an excessive amount of time to run garbage collection likely indicate?
Correct Answer
A. The heap is too large.
Explanation
An excessive amount of time to run garbage collection likely indicates that the heap is too large. When the heap is too large, the garbage collector needs to scan through a larger amount of memory, which can result in longer garbage collection times. This can lead to performance issues and increased pauses in the application. Therefore, it is important to properly tune the heap size to ensure optimal garbage collection performance.
30.
What is needed to implement encryption between the web browser and the IBM Maximo Asset Management V7.5 application?

By conducting load testing during this phase, any performance problems can be addressed and resolved early on, ensuring a smoother and more efficient system implementation.
40.
The IBM Maximo Asset Management V7.5 administrator completes the configuration of the Maximo Integration Framework and runs an export from the EXTSYS1 external system. The export appears to complete with error, but when the mxe.int.globaldir is checked there is no export. The administrator checks the J2EE JMS sequential outbound queue and can see that the message is there, but it is not being processed. What is the most likely cause the message is not getting delivered to the mxe.int.globaldir?
Correct Answer
D. The JMSQSEQCONSUMER.SEQQOUT cron is not active.
Explanation
The most likely cause the message is not getting delivered to the mxe.int.globaldir is that the JMSQSEQCONSUMER.SEQQOUT cron is not active. This cron job is responsible for processing messages from the J2EE JMS sequential outbound queue and delivering them to the mxe.int.globaldir. Since the cron is not active, the message remains in the queue and is not processed, resulting in the export not appearing in the mxe.int.globaldir.
41.
