    A developer accidentally cleared a physical file with the CLRPFM command. The file is being journalled with IMAGE(*BOTH). How can the corrupted field be recovered?

    • Use the ROLLBACK function to undo the CLRPFM action.

    • Use the RMVJRNCHG command to remove the one entry that cleared the file member.

    • Use the RMVJRNCHG command to roll back the changed to before the file was cleared.

    • Restore the file from the backup and use the APYJRNCHG to reapply the changes up to just prior to the file being cleared.

    Correct Answer
    A. Restore the file from the backup and use the APYJRNCHG to reapply the changes up to just prior to the file being cleared.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is to restore the file from the backup and use the APYJRNCHG command to reapply the changes up to just prior to the file being cleared. This is because the file is being journalled with IMAGE(*BOTH), which means that both the before and after images of the file changes are recorded in the journal. By restoring the file from the backup and using APYJRNCHG, the changes recorded in the journal can be reapplied, effectively recovering the corrupted field.

    What happens when a journal receiver created with MNGRCV(*USER) reaches its maximum size?

    • A new receiver is created in the job's current library.

    • Database writes are prohibited and jobs receive error messages.

    • All new journal entries are placed in the QDFTJRN journal receiver.

    • A new receiver is created in the QSYS library for new journal entries.

    Correct Answer
    A. Database writes are prohibited and jobs receive error messages.
    Explanation
    When a journal receiver created with MNGRCV(*USER) reaches its maximum size, database writes are prohibited and jobs receive error messages. This means that any attempt to write data to the database will be denied and jobs running in the system will receive error messages indicating that the journal receiver is full. This is because the journal receiver cannot accommodate any more journal entries, and therefore, the system prevents any further database writes to avoid potential data loss or corruption.

    An IBM i 6.1 system has the system value QFRCCVNRST set to 1. The administrator has restored an application library from a V5R4 system. The application is now running very slowly. Which of the following is the most likely cause of the problem?

    • The restored objects are being converted at first use.

    • The QFRCOBJCVN system value must be set to at least 4 for V5R4 objects.

    • The restored objects are using the V5R4 template, which runs more slowly on a 6.1 system.

    • The programs were compiled to a previous release which causes a performance problem at 6.1

    Correct Answer
    A. The restored objects are being converted at first use.
    Explanation
    The restored objects are being converted at first use because the system value QFRCCVNRST is set to 1. This means that when an object is accessed for the first time after being restored, it will be converted to the current release level of the system. This conversion process can cause a delay and result in the application running slowly.

    An IBM i partition is operating normally for most tasks. Performance reports show that interactive response times are acceptable and batch run times are normal. System status and disk status show normal paging and I/O rates for this system. However, users are complaining of intermittent response for interactive tasks, slow ODBC access and FTP transfers taking much longer than normal. What is a likely cause of this problem?

    • The QSYSWRK subsystem has insufficient main storage so TCP/IP cannot run reliably.

    • The Ethernet switch is configured for half duplex and the IBM i Ethernet line is configured for full duplex.

    • The 'TCP maximum retransmit time' setting is too high, so the system waits too long when a frame is dropped.

    • The TCP/IP Attribute ARP Cache Timeout has been set too low and the system must perform ARP discovery too often.

    Correct Answer
    A. The Ethernet switch is configured for half duplex and the IBM i Ethernet line is configured for full duplex.
    Explanation
    The likely cause of the problem is that the Ethernet switch is configured for half duplex and the IBM i Ethernet line is configured for full duplex. This configuration mismatch can cause collisions and delays in data transmission, resulting in intermittent response for interactive tasks and slower ODBC access and FTP transfers.

    Which of the following parameters on the SAV command can be used to save the Integrated File System directory /temp/files and all subordinate objects?

    • OBJ(('/temp/files/') PATTERN(('*')) SUBTREE(*DIR)

    • OBJ(('/temp/files/*') PATTERN(('*')) SUBTREE(*ALL)

    • OBJ(('/temp/files/') PATTERN(('*ALL')) SUBTREE(*DIR)

    • OBJ(('/temp/files/*') PATTERN(('*ANY')) SUBTREE(*ALL)

    Correct Answer
    A. OBJ(('/temp/files/*') PATTERN(('*')) SUBTREE(*ALL)
    Explanation
    The correct answer is OBJ(('/temp/files/*') PATTERN(('*')) SUBTREE(*ALL). This parameter combination specifies that the SAV command should save the directory /temp/files and all of its subordinate objects, using the * pattern to include all objects within the directory. The SUBTREE(*ALL) parameter ensures that all subordinate objects are saved, including directories, files, and symbolic links.

    The system value QCRTOBJAUD is set to *USRPRF. When are entries sent to the audit journal if a new directory is created with the parameter CRTOBJAUD(*SYSVAL)?

    • When it is used or changed by the user who created it.

    • When it is used or changed by a user who is currently being audited.

    • When it is used or changed by a member of the group profile of the user who is currently being audited.

    • When it is used or changed by a program adopting the authority of the user who is currently being audited.

    Correct Answer
    A. When it is used or changed by a user who is currently being audited.
    Explanation
    When the system value QCRTOBJAUD is set to *USRPRF, entries are sent to the audit journal if a new directory is created with the parameter CRTOBJAUD(*SYSVAL) when it is used or changed by a user who is currently being audited. This means that any actions performed on the directory by a user who is currently being audited will be recorded in the audit journal.

    Which of the following are saved using the Save System Information (SAVSYSINF) command?

    • *CMD and *MSGF objects in QSYS changed since the last SAVSYS

    • *PGM and *SRVPGM objects in QSYS changed since the last SAVSYS

    • *USRPRF and *TBL objects in QSYS changed since the last SAVSYS

    • *DTAARA and *FILE objects in QSYS changed since the last SAVSYS

    Correct Answer
    A. *CMD and *MSGF objects in QSYS changed since the last SAVSYS
    Explanation
    The Save System Information (SAVSYSINF) command is used to save information about system objects that have changed since the last system save (SAVSYS) operation. This includes *CMD and *MSGF objects in the QSYS library that have been modified. The command does not save *PGM and *SRVPGM objects, *USRPRF and *TBL objects, or *DTAARA and *FILE objects. Therefore, the correct answer is *CMD and *MSGF objects in QSYS changed since the last SAVSYS.

    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 command, or group of commands, will complete the restore operation in one pass through the tape even though the physical files are restored after the logical files?

    • RSTLIB SAVLIB(LIBB LIBA) DEV(TAP01)

    • RSTLIB SAVLIB(LIBA LIBB) DEV(TAP01) DFRID(ABC)

    • RSTLIB SAVLIB(LIBA LIBB) DEV(TAP01) DFRID(ABC) RMVDFRID DFRID(ABC)

    • RSTLIB SAVLIB(LIBA LIBB) DEV(TAP01) DFRID(ABC) RSTDFROBJ DFRID(ABC)

    Correct Answer
    A. RSTLIB SAVLIB(LIBA LIBB) DEV(TAP01) DFRID(ABC) RSTDFROBJ DFRID(ABC)
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "RSTLIB SAVLIB(LIBA LIBB) DEV(TAP01) DFRID(ABC) RSTDFROBJ DFRID(ABC)". This command will complete the restore operation in one pass through the tape because it specifies both libraries to be restored, LIBA and LIBB, and includes the DFRID parameter with the value of ABC. The DFRID parameter is used to restore dependent objects, such as logical files that are dependent on physical files. The RSTDFROBJ command is used to restore dependent objects based on the DFRID value. Therefore, this command sequence ensures that both libraries are restored and any dependent objects are also restored in the correct order.

    A customer is moving from a Power 550 running V5R3 to a Power 750 running IBM i 6.1.1. The V5R3 system was migrated to IBM i 6.1 using the 'Migration from prior supported release' (SLIP) method. During testing, none of the DDM files to remote systems function. The system value QRETSVRSEC (Retain server security data) is set to '1' (enabled). Which of the following is the most likely cause of the problem?

    • The SNADS directory entries for the remote systems were removed when migrating to IBM i 6.1

    • The host table entries for the remote systems were not migrated using the 'SLIP' migration.

    • The authentication entries in the user profile(s) used for DDM are removed when migrating to IBMi 6.1.

    • The *LOCAL relational database name entry on the remote system does not match the value on the new system.

    Correct Answer
    A. The *LOCAL relational database name entry on the remote system does not match the value on the new system.

    File XYZ is secured as follows: > An authority list, ABC, is attached to file XYZ. > Primary Group of file XYZ is set to PRIGRP, which has *CHANGE authority > File XYZ is owned by profile APPOWN > User AUSER has *EXCLUDE authority Authority list ABC specifies: *PUBLIC authority is: *USE Group Profile FILEACC has *ALL authority User profile AUSER has group profile FILEACC and PRIGRP as supplemental groups. What authority will AUSER have to file XYZ?

    • *USE

    • *ALL

    • *CHANGE

    • *EXCLUDE

    Correct Answer
    A. *EXCLUDE
    Explanation
    User AUSER will have *EXCLUDE authority to file XYZ. This is because the authority list ABC specifies that *PUBLIC authority is *USE, and AUSER is not a member of the PRIGRP primary group of file XYZ. Additionally, AUSER does not have any explicit authority specified in the authority list ABC. Therefore, the highest authority that AUSER can have is *EXCLUDE, as specified in the default authority of the file.

    Which of the following is true regarding journal receivers?

    • Data can be journalled to only 1 receiver in the system ASP.

    • Data can be journalled to 2 local receivers if one is in an iASP.

    • Data can be journalled to 2 journal receivers, one local and one remote.

    • Data can be journalled to 2 local journal receivers both in the system ASP.

    Correct Answer
    A. Data can be journalled to 2 journal receivers, one local and one remote.
    Explanation
    Data can be journalled to 2 journal receivers, one local and one remote. This means that the system can create two separate journal receivers to record the journal entries. One receiver is local, meaning it is stored on the same system, while the other receiver is remote, meaning it is stored on a different system. This allows for redundancy and backup of the journal entries in case of system failure or data loss.

    A system administrator wants to display the defined users for System Service Tools (SST). Which of the following commands is appropriate?

    • DSPUSRPRF TYPE(*SST)

    • DSPSSTUSR USRID(*ALL)

    • DSPUSRPRF TYPE(*DST)

    • DSPDSTUSR USRID(*ALL)

    Correct Answer
    A. DSPSSTUSR USRID(*ALL)
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "DSPSSTUSR USRID(*ALL)". This command is appropriate for displaying the defined users for System Service Tools (SST). The "DSPSSTUSR" command is specifically designed for displaying SST users, and the "USRID(*ALL)" parameter ensures that all users are included in the display. The other commands, "DSPUSRPRF TYPE(*SST)" and "DSPUSRPRF TYPE(*DST)", are not specifically tailored for displaying SST users and may not provide the desired information. The "DSPDSTUSR USRID(*ALL)" command is unrelated to SST users and is not appropriate for this task.

    An administrator is investigating poor performance of some applications. Several physical files have large numbers of associated logical files. Many of these logical files are used only during month-end processing. How can the administrator improve the application performance?

    • Change month-end logical files to maintenance *DLY.

    • Change the logical file description to OPTIMIZE (*WRITE)

    • Edit Rebuild Access Path (EDTRBDAP) and change the rebuild option on the month-end files to *IPL.

    • Change the logical files so they point to an inactive library. Change them back to the production library just before month end jobs run.

    Correct Answer
    A. Change month-end logical files to maintenance *DLY.
    Explanation
    By changing the month-end logical files to maintenance *DLY, the administrator can improve application performance. This is because the logical files will only be used during month-end processing, so changing them to maintenance *DLY means they will be optimized for daily maintenance tasks rather than being active all the time. This can help reduce the workload and improve overall performance for the applications.

    An administrator notices that certain long-running CPU intensive batch jobs cause numerous short-running batch jobs to have excessive wait times. Changing batch job priorities is unacceptable since the numerous short batch jobs consume all the CPU needed by the longrunning jobs. What would permit the short batch jobs access to the CPU while permitting the longrunning batch jobs to run at an equal priority?

    • Shorten the wait time in the batch job class.

    • Shorten the time slice value in the batch job class.

    • Raise the maximum number of active jobs in the memory pool that runs batch jobs.

    • Use a subsystem routing entry to run the long-running batch jobs in a dedicated memory pool.

    Correct Answer
    A. Shorten the time slice value in the batch job class.
    Explanation
    Shortening the time slice value in the batch job class would allow the short batch jobs to have more frequent access to the CPU, while still allowing the long-running jobs to run at an equal priority. By reducing the time slice, the CPU will switch between different jobs more frequently, giving the short batch jobs a chance to run without excessive wait times. This solution does not require changing batch job priorities or allocating dedicated memory pools, making it a suitable option in this scenario.

    An administrator has been asked to assist in defining a detailed recovery plan for objects in IFS directories that are journalled. The goal is to be able to completely reload the system with minimal intervention. Which of the following represents the correct order to restore objects?

    • Journal receivers, IFS objects, journals

    • IFS objects, journals, journal receivers

    • Journal receivers, journals, IFS objects

    • Journals, journal receivers, IFS objects

    Correct Answer
    A. Journals, journal receivers, IFS objects
    Explanation
    The correct order to restore objects in order to completely reload the system with minimal intervention is to restore the journals first, followed by the journal receivers, and then the IFS objects. This is because the journals contain the transactional data and changes made to the objects, the journal receivers store the journal entries, and the IFS objects are the actual objects stored in the IFS directories. By restoring them in this order, the system can be fully recovered with minimal data loss and intervention.
