2. What is one limitation of saving to save files?

Explanation

One limitation of saving to save files is that the save file can only contain objects from one library. This means that if there are objects from multiple libraries that need to be saved, they cannot all be included in the same save file. This limitation may require users to save objects from different libraries separately, which can be time-consuming and inconvenient.

Submit
3. A SAVLIB operation failed with the message CPF6772 - "Volume on device TAP01 can not be processed". Which of the following should be done to correct this?

Explanation

not-available-via-ai

Submit
4. The operator has to start a remote writer every morning. Which of the following eliminates the need to start the writer every day?

Explanation

The correct answer is "CHGOUTQ RMTJOB AUTOSTRWTR(1)". This command changes the output queue (OUTQ) and specifies that a remote writer (RMTJOB) will automatically start when a spooled file is added to the queue. By setting AUTOSTRWTR(1), the operator does not have to manually start the writer every day, as it will start automatically when needed.

Submit
5. What is a logical file?

Explanation

A logical file refers to an alternate view of a physical data file. It provides a different way of organizing and accessing the data stored in the physical file. This allows for more efficient and convenient data retrieval based on specific criteria or sorting orders. Unlike a physical file, a logical file does not store the actual data but rather provides a logical representation of it. This helps in simplifying data management and improving system performance.

Submit
6. A job is being set up that must run exactly at 2:00 am each Monday. If it is not run on time, it must be submitted manually later using a specific job description. Which of the following Recovery Action (RCYACN) parameters of the Add Job Schedule Entry command will prevent the job from being automatically submitted at the incorrect time?

Explanation

The correct answer is RCYACN(*NOSBM). This parameter specifies that the job should not be automatically submitted if it is not run on time. Instead, it will remain in a held status until it is manually submitted using a specific job description. This prevents the job from being automatically submitted at the incorrect time.

Submit
7. After starting an interactive save from the console, an operator notices that a critical parameter was omitted. Which of the following will end the save?

Explanation

Using option 2 on the System Request Menu display will end the save. The System Request Menu is a menu that provides various system-related options and functions. Option 2 on this menu is typically used to cancel or end ongoing processes or tasks. In this case, when the operator realizes that a critical parameter was omitted during the interactive save, selecting option 2 on the System Request Menu will terminate the save process.

Submit
8. An operator has taken the system to restricted state using the ENDSYS command to perform endof- week tasks. On completion of the tasks, the operator needs to restart the system for normal operations. The controlling subsystem is QGPL/QCTL The startup program is QGPL/STARTUP The QGPL library is part of the system library list Which of the following will resume normal system operation in the least amount of time?

Explanation

The correct answer is "STRSBS SBSD(QGPL/QCTL)". This command will start the subsystem QGPL/QCTL, which is the controlling subsystem for the system. Starting the subsystem will resume normal system operation in the least amount of time because it will bring all the necessary processes and resources back online. The other options, such as calling the startup program or restarting the system, may also resume normal operations but may take more time and may not be as efficient as starting the subsystem directly.

Submit
9. The operator issued the following command: INZTAP TAP01 NEWVOL(*NONE) CHECK(*NO) DENSITY(*CTGTYPE) ENDOPT(*UNLOAD) CLEAR(*YES) The command has been running for over an hour with the light on the tape drive blinking. What is happening?

Explanation

The command "INZTAP" is used to initialize a tape volume. In this case, the command includes the parameter "CLEAR(*YES)", which indicates that the tape should be erased from the beginning to the end. Therefore, the correct answer is that the drive erased the tape from the beginning to the end.

Submit
10. A system is using HMC as a console. How can the operator remotely access the console session?

Explanation

The operator can remotely access the console session by configuring a telnet 5250 emulator to the HMC IP address at port 2300. This allows them to establish a telnet connection to the HMC and access the console session remotely.

Submit
11. The operator is checking the scheduled jobs and sees one that did not run properly. Using option 8 (Last Submitted) gives a message at the bottom of the screen "Job 123456/QPGMR/JOBA not found". What happened to this job?

Explanation

The message "Job 123456/QPGMR/JOBA not found" indicates that the job was completed, but it did not create a job log. This means that the job finished its execution, but for some reason, the system did not generate a log of the job's activities. This could be due to various factors such as a system error or misconfiguration.

Submit
12. The nightly backup program contains the following commands: SAVLIB (*ALLUSR) DEV(TAP01) ENDOPT(*unload) PWRDWNSYS *IMMED RESTART(*YES) DLYJOB(30) STRSBS QGPL/REMOTE Which of the following explains why the REMOTE subsystem fails to start?

Explanation

The Power Down command ends all jobs, including the REMOTE subsystem, which prevents it from starting.

Submit
13. Under what conditions will a new password be checked against password validation rules?

Explanation

A new password will be checked against password validation rules when using the CHGPWD command. This command is used to change a user's password, and during this process, the system will verify if the new password meets the defined password validation rules.

Submit
14. One of four Ethernet lines has gone into FAILED status. Assuming the conditions that caused the line to fail have been corrected, how can the line be activated with the least additional disruption?

Explanation

The correct answer is to locate the last LINE FAILED message and use the Retry (R) option. This option allows the failed Ethernet line to be activated again with the least disruption. By using the Retry option, the system will attempt to reactivate the line without requiring a complete restart of TCP/IP or the IP interface. This minimizes the downtime and disruption caused by the failed line and ensures that it is quickly restored to a functional state.

Submit
15. When a user attempts to sign in, they receive the message "CPF1113 Library *N in initial library list not found". What is the problem?

Explanation

The problem is that a library specified in the job description does not exist. This means that when the user attempts to sign in, the system is unable to find the specified library in the job description.

Submit
16. An output queue has been changed using the command CHGOUTQ OUTQ(LIBA/OUTQA) MAXPAGES((500 '09:00' '12:00')) in order to avoid printing files which exceed the page limit. What status will a spooled file with 600 pages have?

Explanation

When the output queue is changed using the CHGOUTQ command with the MAXPAGES parameter, it sets a maximum page limit for the spooled files in that queue. In this case, the MAXPAGES parameter is set to 500 pages between 09:00 and 12:00. Therefore, a spooled file with 600 pages will exceed the page limit and will be deferred, meaning it will not be printed immediately but will be held back until the page limit is no longer exceeded. Therefore, the correct answer is DFR (Deferred).

Submit
17. An operator has received a message in the QSYSOPR message queue "Critical storage lower limit reached". After looking at disk utilization, the operator realizes that there is a job running that is filling up system storage. Which of the following is the best method in finding the correct job to end?

Explanation

not-available-via-ai

Submit
18. An operator wants to check the status of a network printer on SYSTEMA using System i Navigator. After expanding My Connections -> SYSTEMA -> which of the following options will accomplish this task?

Explanation

By expanding Basic Operations and clicking on Printers, the operator will be able to check the status of the printers on SYSTEMA. The status of the printers will be displayed in the window on the right. This option directly accesses the printers and provides the necessary information without navigating through other menus or options.

Submit
19. In which IBM supplied subsystem do the CLEANUP jobs run?

Explanation

The CLEANUP jobs run in the QCTL subsystem provided by IBM.

Submit
20. What is meant by the Initial Library List (INLLIBL) parameter in a job description?

Explanation

The Initial Library List (INLLIBL) parameter in a job description indicates the user part of the library list when the job starts. This means that only the libraries specified by the user will be included in the library list at the beginning of the job. Other libraries, such as system libraries, will not be included unless explicitly specified.

Submit
21. A user has the parameter OUTQ set to OUTQUEUE1 in his profile. They submit a job which creates one spooled file. The job has OUTQ(OUTQUEUE2) in its job description, and a print file with OUTQ(OUTQUEUE3). The system default is OUTQUEUE0. In which output queue will the spool file be created?

Explanation

The spool file will be created in OUTQUEUE3 because the print file used in the job has the OUTQ parameter set to OUTQUEUE3. The job description's OUTQ parameter (OUTQUEUE2) and the user's profile parameter (OUTQUEUE1) are not relevant in this case. The system default OUTQUEUE0 is also not applicable as the print file specifies a different output queue. Therefore, the spool file will be created in the output queue specified in the print file, which is OUTQUEUE3.

Submit
22. On an IBM i 6.1 system an operator needs to save all the of the files in library RPGWORK and restore them to a V5R3M5 system. Which of the following will accomplish the task?

Explanation

The correct answer is SAVOBJOBJ(*ALL) OBJTYPE(*FILE) LIB(RPGWORK) DEV(TAP03) TGTRLS(V5R3M0). This command will save all the files in the RPGWORK library to the TAP03 device and set the target release as V5R3M0, which matches the release of the system that the files will be restored to.

Submit
23. An operator wants to check the status of the FTP server on SYSTEMA using System i Navigator. After expanding My Connections -> SYSTEMA -> which of the following options will accomplish this task?

Explanation

By expanding the Network option and clicking on the TCP/IP icon, the operator can check the status of all the servers, including the FTP server, in the window on the right. This option allows for a comprehensive view of the server status without the need to navigate through different menus or options.

Submit
24. A user must restore libraries LIBA and LIBB. LIBA contains logical files that are dependent on physical files in LIBB. Both libraries were saved using a SAVLIB(*NONSYS) command. Which of the following commands, or groups of commands, will complete the restore operation in one pass through the tape even though the physical files are restored after the logical files?

Explanation

The correct answer is RSTLIBSAVLIB(LIBA LIBB) DEV(TAP01) DFRID(ABC). RSTDFROBJ DFRID(ABC). This answer is correct because the RSTLIBSAVLIB command is used to restore libraries LIBA and LIBB from the tape device TAP01. The DFRID(ABC) parameter is used to specify a specific save file identifier, which ensures that only the necessary objects are restored. After the libraries are restored, the RSTDFROBJ command is used to restore the dependent logical files in LIBA that are dependent on the physical files in LIBB. This completes the restore operation in one pass through the tape.

Submit
25. Which of the following will show which subsystem has allocated job queue REMOTE?

Explanation

The correct answer is WRKJOBQ. This command allows you to work with job queues and displays information about the job queues in the system. By using the WRKJOBQ command without specifying a specific job queue, it will display information about all job queues in the system. Therefore, using the WRKJOBQ command will show which subsystem has allocated the job queue REMOTE.

Submit
26. Which of the following commands is used to display a physical/logical file association?

Explanation

The command DSPDBR is used to display a physical/logical file association. This command allows users to view the relationship between a physical file and its associated logical files. It provides information about the logical files that are associated with a specific physical file, including the names of the logical files and their record formats. This command is commonly used in IBM's AS/400 or iSeries systems for file management and analysis purposes.

Submit
27. Operations in a 24x7 shop has attempted to run the SAVSYSINF command rather than take the system down for a SAVSYS. The command fails with CPD37AD "Save file not found for PTF MF23400". Which of the following is the most likely cause?

Explanation

The most likely cause for the command failure is that PTFs were applied since the last SAVSYS, but the save files for these PTFs were not copied to the QGPL Library. This means that the required save file for PTF MF23400 is not present in the library, leading to the CPD37AD error.

Submit
28. Which of the following parameters of the CHGUSRPRF command will cause the system to notify the user SHIPPING when a spooled file completes printing or is held by the printer writer program?

Explanation

The parameter "USROPT(*PRTMSG)" in the CHGUSRPRF command will cause the system to notify the user SHIPPING when a spooled file completes printing or is held by the printer writer program.

Submit
29. How is the console accessed when IBM i is running on a BladeCenter?

Explanation

When IBM i is running on a BladeCenter, the console can be accessed by using telnet to port 2300 on the IBMi partition. This means that by establishing a telnet connection to port 2300 on the specific partition where IBM i is running, the console can be accessed and managed remotely.

Submit
30. A user saved the library LIBA in the save file QGPL/SAVFUSER, then saved the save file to external tape TAP01. How can the user restore library LIBA?

Explanation

The user can restore library LIBA by first restoring the save file SAVFUSER using the RSTOBJ command, specifying the object as SAVFUSER, the library as QGPL, and the device as TAP01. Then, the user can use the RSTLIB command to restore library LIBA, specifying the library as LIBA, the device as *SAVF, and the save file as SAVFUSER.

Submit
31. An operator changed a writer using the CHGWTR command and specified OPTION(*NORDYF). When will the change take place?

Explanation

When the operator changes a writer using the CHGWTR command and specifies OPTION(*NORDYF), the change will take place when there are no spooled files ready to print. This means that the writer will continue to run until all the current spooled files have been printed, and then it will stop processing new spooled files until the operator restarts the writer.

Submit
32. A pair of i 6.1 systems are using DDM to exhange data. DDM is configured to require valid user IDs and passwords for the connection to work. User profile DDMUSER is defined on each system for use by applications using DDM. An operator is directed to set the password on the DDM target system to "DDMPW1." The DDM server is named QDDMSVR on the target system. After signing on with an administrative user profile, which of the following correctly describes how to set the DDMUSER password?

Explanation

The correct answer is "CHGSVRAUTE USRPRF(DDMUSER) SERVER(QDDMSRV) USRID(*SAME) PASSWORD(DDMPW1)." This command is used to change the authentication information for a user profile on a DDM server. In this case, it is being used to set the password for the DDMUSER profile on the target system to "DDMPW1." The USRPRF parameter specifies the user profile to be changed, the SERVER parameter specifies the DDM server, the USRID parameter specifies that the user ID should remain the same, and the PASSWORD parameter specifies the new password.

Submit
33. Which of the following will allow an operator to specify which users receive a break message when the system detects a critical condition, such as a DASD failure?

Explanation

The correct answer is the CHGSRVA command, and specify the user message queue for the CRITMSGUSR parameter. This command allows an operator to change the attributes of a server job. By specifying the user message queue for the CRITMSGUSR parameter, the operator can determine which users receive a break message when the system detects a critical condition, such as a DASD failure.

Submit
34. An operator has been asked to find the job log for one of the jobs from the accounting department which failed last Tuesday. All the jobs from that department start with ACTG*. How can the operator find the failed job?

Explanation

The correct answer is to use the WRKSPLF command and specify JOB(ACTG*) and use the PERIOD parameter to specify last Tuesday. This command allows the operator to view the spooled files, which include job logs, for jobs that match the specified job name and period. By specifying JOB(ACTG*) and the last Tuesday as the period, the operator can easily find the job log for the failed job from the accounting department.

Submit
35. On IBM i 6.1, which of the following commands will delete all the expired spool files?

Explanation

The correct answer is DLTEXPSPLF ASPGRP(*ALL). This command will delete all the expired spool files on IBM i 6.1. The DLTEXPSPLF command is specifically designed to delete expired spool files, and the ASPGRP(*ALL) parameter ensures that spool files from all auxiliary storage pools are deleted.

Submit
36. SYSTEMA has an APPC connection using SNA Enterprise Extender configuration to SYSTEMB. SYSTEMB's configuration on SYSTEMA was varied off during a maintenance window. The operator has been notified that SYSTEMB is now in operation and asked to restart the connection between SYSTEMA and SYSTEMB. Which of the following correctly describes the process to restart the link?

Explanation

The correct process to restart the link between SYSTEMA and SYSTEMB is to first vary on the *HPRIP controller description to SYSTEMB, and then vary on the APPC controller description to SYSTEMB. This ensures that both the HPRIP controller and the APPC controller are varied on, allowing the connection to be established between the two systems.

Submit
37. An operator wants to check the maximum number of jobs allowed in the job queue QBATCH on SYSTEMA using System i Navigator. After expanding My Connections -> SYSTEMA -> Which of the options below will accomplish this task?

Explanation

To check the maximum number of jobs allowed in the job queue QBATCH on SYSTEMA using System i Navigator, the user should expand Work Management, then Subsystems, then Active Subsystems. From there, they should right-click on the QBATCH subsystem and select Job Queues. This will allow them to access the properties of the QBATCH Job Queue and find the maximum number of jobs allowed.

Submit
38. After a network outage an operator is directed to restart print server support, which uses Internet Print Protocol. The system is running IBM i 6.1. Which of the following correctly describes how this is accomplished?

Explanation

To restart print server support using Internet Print Protocol (IPP) on an IBM i 6.1 system, the correct method is to use a web browser to navigate to Systems Director Navigator, then go to IBM IPP server, Administration, and select the option to start the server.
