105. A user receives a CPF1266 'User not authorized to library.' Which of the following will correct this?

EDTOBJAUT for the user to the library

GRTACCAUT adding the user to the library

CHGUSRPRF adding *SYSTEM to special authority

GRTOBJAUT adding the user for all objects in the library.

The user is receiving a CPF1266 error message indicating that they are not authorized to access the library. To correct this issue, the appropriate action would be to use the EDTOBJAUT command to grant object authority to the user for the library. This command allows the user to edit the object authority and specify the necessary permissions for accessing the library.

107. The help desk has determined that a remote server connecting to the System i with ODBC has apparently stopped responding and would like the process restarted. There are more than 850 ODBC connections (QZDASOINIT) on the system. The help desk has provided the user profile used to initiate the ODBC connection. How does the operator identify the proper ODBC connection job to end?

Use the System i Navigator, server jobs dialog to determine which jobs are affected.

In System i Navigator, use the Network, Remote Access Services dialog to find the jobs.

From any 5250 emulation session, use NETSTAT and connection status to find the user jobs.

The System i Navigator, server jobs dialog allows the operator to view and manage the jobs running on the system. By using this dialog, the operator can identify the ODBC connection jobs that are affected by the issue. This will help in determining the proper ODBC connection job to end and restart the process.

108. PC users are trying to connect to an iSeries via ETH1 and cannot get the terminal emulator to display a sign on screen. There are multiple Ethernet lines configured on the system. The Ethernet line and controller are active for ETH1, and the network device is varied on. What needs to be done to change the status of the device to active without disrupting Ethernet connections and traffic on other lines?

Restart TCP/IP

Vary off the Ethernet line and vary it back on.

Start the TCP/IP interface via the Network tree in System i Navigator.

Start Remote Access Services via the Network tree in System i Navigator.

To change the status of the device to active without disrupting Ethernet connections and traffic on other lines, the PC users should start the TCP/IP interface via the Network tree in System i Navigator. This will allow the terminal emulator to display a sign-on screen without affecting the other Ethernet connections and traffic on the system.

Explanation

To change the status of the device to active without disrupting Ethernet connections and traffic on other lines, the PC users should start the TCP/IP interface via the Network tree in System i Navigator. This will allow the terminal emulator to display a sign-on screen without affecting the other Ethernet connections and traffic on the system.

109. An operator wants to print all the spooled files on output queue PRT that use the "INVOICE" form, without form change interruptions for other form types. Which of the following accomplishes this?

CHGPRTF FILE(INVOICE) OUTQ(PRT)

CHGWTR WTR(PRT) FORMTYPE(INVOICE)

CHGOUTQ OUTQ(PRT) FORMTYPE(INVOICE)

CHGPRTDEV DEV(PRT) FORMTYPE(INVOICE) WTR(*CURRENT)

The correct answer is "CHGWTR WTR(PRT) FORMTYPE(INVOICE)". This command changes the writer attributes for output queue PRT to use the "INVOICE" form type. This ensures that only spooled files using the "INVOICE" form will be printed without interruptions for other form types.

Explanation

The correct answer is "CHGWTR WTR(PRT) FORMTYPE(INVOICE)". This command changes the writer attributes for output queue PRT to use the "INVOICE" form type. This ensures that only spooled files using the "INVOICE" form will be printed without interruptions for other form types.

110. A network switch has been replaced which required the Ethernet line to be varied off. The switch is back in place and the line has been varied back on but users cannot connect to the system. Which of the following is a likely cause for the problem?

The TCP/IP Interface must be restarted.

The Ethernet line must be varied on with RESET(*YES)

The TCP/IP Route must be re-established after the switch replacement.

The hardware MAC address of the new switch must be added to the i5/OS Host Table.

After replacing the network switch and turning the Ethernet line back on, the users are unable to connect to the system. This suggests that there may be an issue with the TCP/IP interface. Restarting the TCP/IP interface can help resolve any potential configuration or connectivity issues that may have occurred during the switch replacement process. By restarting the TCP/IP interface, it allows the system to establish a fresh connection and re-establish communication with the network, potentially resolving the problem and allowing users to connect to the system again.

111. 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.

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.
