    A system operator is signed on to the console with user profile QSYSOPR. Several batch jobs have been submitted but they will not run. Attempts to use system request option 1 (display sign on for secondary job) fail. What is the likely explanation for these failures?

    • The QCTL Job queue is full.

    • The system is in a restricted state.

    • The QSYSOPR profile has reached its maximum allowable number of jobs.

    • The system has reached the number of jobs in QMAXJOB and cannot start any additional jobs.

    Correct Answer
    A. The system is in a restricted state.
    Explanation
    The likely explanation for the failures is that the system is in a restricted state. This means that certain operations or functions may be limited or disabled, which could prevent the batch jobs from running.

    SYS1 has a remote output queue A01 set up with SYS2 as the remote system. SYS2's output queue is B01. How would the operator move an existing spooled file on SYS1 to SYS2?

    • Use SNDTCPSPLF to send the spooled file to QSYSOPR on SYS2.

    • Change the spooled file's attributes to specify output queue B01.

    • Change the spooled file's attributes to specify output queue A01.

    • Use SNDNETSPLF to send the spooled file to output queue A01 on SYS2.

    Correct Answer
    A. Change the spooled file's attributes to specify output queue A01.
    Explanation
    To move an existing spooled file on SYS1 to SYS2, the operator would need to change the spooled file's attributes to specify output queue A01. This would ensure that the spooled file is directed to the correct output queue on SYS2. Using SNDTCPSPLF to send the spooled file to QSYSOPR on SYS2 is incorrect as it would send the file to the system operator's output queue, not the specified output queue. Similarly, using SNDNETSPLF to send the spooled file to output queue A01 on SYS2 is also incorrect as it would not change the spooled file's attributes.

    • *HOLD

    • *KEEP

    • *NODLT

    Correct Answer
    A. *YES
    Explanation
    The parameter "YES" will prevent a spooled file from being deleted when printing is complete. This means that even after the printing process is finished, the file will not be automatically deleted.

    Which of the following items are saved by the SAVSYS command?

    • Configuration objects

    • I5/OS optional libraries

    • Licensed program libraries

    • All IBM-supplied directories

    Correct Answer
    A. Configuration objects
    Explanation
    The SAVSYS command is used to save the system state and objects necessary for system recovery. Configuration objects, such as system values, job descriptions, user profiles, and device descriptions, are critical components of the system configuration. Therefore, it is logical to assume that the SAVSYS command would save these configuration objects to ensure that the system can be restored to its previous state in case of a failure or disaster.

    A system operator IPLs each of the partitions on their i5 weekly. Where should the operator look to see IPL progress codes prior to the console being displayed?

    • On the partition screen of the HMC

    • On the front panel of the system unit

    • On the virtual control panel for the partition

    • On the work with partition status page on the primary partition

    Correct Answer
    A. On the partition screen of the HMC
    Explanation
    The partition screen of the HMC is where the operator should look to see IPL progress codes prior to the console being displayed. The HMC (Hardware Management Console) is a management tool used to control and monitor IBM i systems. The partition screen on the HMC provides information and status updates for each partition, including the IPL progress codes. This allows the operator to track the progress of the IPL process before the console is displayed on the system unit or virtual control panel.

    • User class *pgmr

    • Group authority *yes

    • Limit capabilities *yes

    • Limit device sessions *no

    Correct Answer
    A. Limit capabilities *yes
    Explanation
    The user profile setting "Limit capabilities *yes" allows only certain commands to be used. This means that the user with this profile setting will have restricted access and can only execute specific commands that are allowed within their capabilities. Other commands that are not within their capabilities will be restricted and not available for use.

    An operator was instructed to save the library ABCCOMPANY to a save file named ABCCOMPANY in library QGPL. After submitting the save command the following message is displayed:Save file ABCCOMPANY in QGPL already contains data. (C G) Which of the following SAVLIB parameters needed to be specified to prevent the message from being displayed?

    • CHK(*NO)

    • DLT(*PRV)

    • STG(*FREE)

    • CLEAR(*ALL)

    Correct Answer
    A. CLEAR(*ALL)
    Explanation
    The correct answer is CLEAR(*ALL). By specifying CLEAR(*ALL), the operator would be instructing the system to clear all existing data in the save file before saving the library. This would prevent the message "Save file ABCCOMPANY in QGPL already contains data" from being displayed, as the save file would be empty before the save operation.

    Which of the following is required for a full system save?

    • All file systems must be mounted.

    • The system must be in restricted state.

    • All communications line descriptions must be varied off.

    • The user performing the save must have *ALLOBJ authority.

    Correct Answer
    A. The system must be in restricted state.
    Explanation
    In order to perform a full system save, the system must be in a restricted state. This means that only authorized personnel can access and make changes to the system during the save process. This ensures that the system is not interrupted or compromised while the save is taking place, allowing for a complete and accurate backup of all system data and configurations.

    The operator has been asked to back up 3 libraries to disk. Which of the following would the operator perform to accomplish this?

    • Create one save file. Perform a SAVLIB of all three libraries to the same save file.

    • Create three save files. Perform a separate SAVLIB of each library to individual save files.

    • Create three save files. Perform a single SAVLIB expanding the library and save file parameters to accommodate the three libraries and save file names.

    • Create one save file. Perform a single SAVOBJ command specifying *ALL for the object and expanding the library parameter to accommodate the three library names.

    Correct Answer
    A. Create three save files. Perform a separate SAVLIB of each library to individual save files.
    Explanation
    To back up 3 libraries to disk, the operator would create three save files and perform a separate SAVLIB command for each library, saving them to their respective individual save files. This ensures that each library is backed up separately and can be easily restored if needed. Creating separate save files for each library also helps in organizing and managing the backup process effectively.

    Users are complaining that they cannot release spooled files that their job has created. What must be done to correct the problem?

    • The printer device must be active.

    • A writer must be attached to the output queue.

    • The output queue must be in a RLS status before spooled files can be released.

    • The authority to check (AUTCHK) parameter of the output queue must be changed to *DTAAUT.

    Correct Answer
    A. The authority to check (AUTCHK) parameter of the output queue must be changed to *DTAAUT.
    Explanation
    To correct the problem of not being able to release spooled files, the authority to check (AUTCHK) parameter of the output queue must be changed to *DTAAUT. This change will allow the necessary authority to release the spooled files.

    An operator opens a console session from an HMC to an i5/OS partition. The partition has automatic configuration turned on using normal i5/OS naming. The 5250 session on the HMC opens normally, but once the session starts the screen remains blank instead of presenting a sign on screen. The system is operating normally, and users are able to start 5250 sessions on their workstations. Which of the following is the most likely cause of the failure?

    • The HMC vary on processor has hung.

    • The Flexible Service Processor (FSP) console emulator is hung.

    • The virtual workstation controller description for the console is varied off.

    • The local workstation controller description with the console device description is in "failed" status.

    Correct Answer
    A. The local workstation controller description with the console device description is in "failed" status.
    Explanation
    The most likely cause of the failure is that the local workstation controller description with the console device description is in "failed" status. This means that there is an issue with the workstation controller, which is preventing the console session from displaying the sign-on screen. This could be due to a configuration error or a hardware issue with the workstation controller.
