IBM I 6.1 Certified Administrator

When the system ASP reaches the threshold set in SST, messages are sent to the QSYSOPR message queue.

The correct answer is QINACTITV. QINACTITV is a system value in IBM i that controls the amount of time until an idle user will automatically be logged off or disconnected from the system. This value is specified in minutes and can be set to any value between 1 and 9999. When the user remains idle for the specified time period, the system will initiate the logoff or disconnect process.

The system value QTSEPOOL is set to *BASE, which means that interactive jobs are moved to the *BASE pool when they reach the time slice end. Therefore, the interactive jobs moved to the *BASE pool will use the activity level of the *BASE pool.

The correct answer is QRCLSPLSTG. This system value controls the number of days the system retains unused spooled file storage.

The minimum security level at which resource security and integrity protection are enforced is 40. This means that at a security level of 40 or higher, measures are in place to ensure the security and integrity of resources. It implies that any security level below 40 may not have the necessary safeguards to protect resources and maintain their integrity.

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.

To distribute image catalogs with PTFs between systems, the administrator should FTP the IFS objects to the target system and copy the *IMGCLG objects in QUSRSYS to the target system. This means transferring the necessary files from the Integrated File System (IFS) to the target system and also copying the image catalog objects from the QUSRSYS library. This ensures that both the files and the image catalogs are successfully distributed to the target system.

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.

To support the requirement of being notified when average CPU utilization remains above 80% for more than 5 minutes, a CPU monitor needs to be defined in Management Central. This monitor will trigger a message when the CPU remains over 80% for a 5-minute interval. This will allow the customer to receive notifications and take appropriate actions to address the high CPU utilization.

The CHGQRYA command allows the administrator to override the QQRYTIMLMT system value for a job. This command is used to change the query attributes for a query, and one of the attributes that can be changed is the query time limit. By using this command, the administrator can modify the time limit for a specific job, overriding the system value set for query time limit.

The detailed information about the error logged by the FSP can be found in the SST 'Service Action Log'.

After an IBM i upgrade, if both QUSRSYS and QGPL have a status of *BACKLEVEL when displaying licensed programs, the issue can be fixed by loading the distribution media B29xx_01 and re-installing QUSRSYS and QGPL in a restricted state. This ensures that the necessary libraries are updated and brought up to the correct level after the upgrade.

The simplest method to restore the data to the third partition is to dynamically add the drive to the third partition and then restore the data. This means that the second tape drive, which is not currently assigned to any partition, will be added to the third partition. By doing so, the drive will be available for use in restoring the data to the third partition.

The minimum release level of IBM i Access to support Microsoft Windows 7 is 6.1.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The correct answer is that the profile the administrator is using does not have '*AUDIT' special authority. This means that the administrator does not have the necessary privileges to access and display the auditing system values.

The correct answer is ALWOBJDIF(*OWNER). This parameter of the RSTLIB command will restore the library and set the owner of the library to the current owner of the library on SYSTEMB. By specifying *OWNER, the administrator ensures that the ownership of the library is preserved during the restoration process.

During the migration process, the *LOCAL relational database name entry on the remote system was not updated to match the value on the new system. This mismatch in the database name would cause the DDM files to remote systems to not function properly.

The correct answer is DSPFMWSTS. This command displays the server firmware and assists in identifying the firmware related PTFs installed for a non-HMC managed system.

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.

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.

The system administrator can set the expiration date for a tape by using the EXPDATE parameter of the SAVxxx command. This command allows the administrator to specify the desired expiration date for the tape, ensuring that it is not used beyond that date. By setting the expiration date using this parameter, the administrator can effectively manage the lifecycle of the tape and ensure that it is properly retired and replaced as necessary.

The command "DSPUSRPRF USRPRF(USERNAME) TYPE(*OBJAUT)" will show the names of all objects that a user is specifically authorized to use and the specific authorities that a user has to each object.

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.

To produce a system plan for the Power 520 system with serial number 10-12345, the correct procedure is to select system plans from the left panel and then select Create System Plan. In the pop-up window, the user should fill in the system plan name and description, and then click OK. This will create a system plan for the specified system, which can be saved in the file MYPLAN.sysplan.

The user's current library is changed to LIBA using the CHGCURLIB command. Then, the library LIBB is added to the library list using the ADDLIBLE command with the POSITION(*FIRST) parameter, which means that LIBB will be the first library in the library list. Next, the system library list is changed to include LIBC using the CHGSYSLIBL command with the OPTION(*ADD) parameter. This means that LIBC will be added to the end of the system library list. Therefore, when the user types the command CALL PGMUSR, the program PGMUSR in LIBC will run.

The correct answer is RSTOBJ OBJ(*ALL) LIB(*ANY) OPTION(*NEW) PVTAUT(*YES). This command will restore all objects in all libraries, including logical files, with a new option and private authorities enabled.

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.

CFGSYSSEC is the correct answer because it is the command used to configure system security settings to the recommended values by IBM. This command allows the system administrator to set various security features and parameters to ensure that the system meets the required security standards for the upcoming audit.

IBM i FTP activities can be logged permanently for auditing by using an exit point application. Exit points are customizable points in the IBM i operating system where user-defined programs can be invoked to perform specific actions. In this case, an exit point application can be used to capture and log FTP activities, providing a permanent record for auditing purposes. This allows organizations to track and monitor FTP activities for security and compliance reasons.

Library Managed tape encryption mode is supported in this scenario. This mode allows the tape library to handle the encryption process. The encryption keys are managed by the library itself, ensuring that any tape leaving the data center with application data is encrypted. This mode provides a centralized and efficient way to enforce the encryption policy without relying on individual systems or applications.

In order to start an Option 21 save from the administrator's laptop at the office and be able to check on the job later from home, a shared console session should be started from both the HMC and the administrator's laptop. This will allow the administrator to access and control the console from their laptop remotely, ensuring they can start the save operation and monitor it from home. Starting a dedicated console session from either the administrator's laptop or the HMC alone would not provide the necessary remote access and control capabilities.

The SECOFR user class, by default, assigns system auditing capabilities to a user profile at all security levels. This means that users with the SECOFR user class have the ability to monitor and track system activities, ensuring security and compliance with auditing requirements.

When the partition is re-activated after a complete power down, the changes to the 'Maximum Processor' setting in an LPAR definition take effect. This means that when the partition is completely powered off and then turned back on, the new 'Maximum Processor' setting will be applied. It is important to note that simply restarting the partition or shutting down and restarting the managed system or all partitions in the shared processor pool will not trigger the changes to take effect.

To resolve the error, the administrator should use the WRKJRNA command on the journal and then press the F15 function key to work with the receiver directory. This will allow them to access the receiver directory and delete all receivers that are not currently attached to the journal. By doing so, they will be able to comply with the requirement specified in the error message and successfully change the value DLTRCV(*YES) for the journal.

The correct answer is ADDRPYLE SEQNBR(140) MSGID(CPA3394) CMPDTA(*NONE *NONE) RPY(G). This command adds a reply entry to the reply list for message CPA3394 with a sequence number of 140. The CMPDTA parameter specifies the comparison data for the reply, which in this case is set to *NONE *NONE. The RPY parameter is set to 'G', indicating that a generic reply will be sent. This will fix the problem by providing a reply to the message ID and allowing the LAN printer writer to continue processing without going into MSGW state.

To change most ASMI profile passwords, it is necessary to know the ASMI ADMIN profile password. This password is specifically required to access and modify the profiles in the ASMI system. It serves as a security measure to ensure that only authorized individuals with knowledge of the ASMI ADMIN password can make changes to the profiles.

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.

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.

The correct answer is 512-byte sector AIX LUNs. This means that the AIX LUNs, which are being configured for virtual storage, will have a sector size of 512 bytes.

The customer has loaded IBM i 6.1 SLIC media into the alternate IPL device and selected the alternate install device with the save media. However, the CD and the tape have different LIC (Licensed Internal Code) levels. This means that the LIC levels of the CD and the tape are not compatible, causing the IPL to fail.

The correct answer suggests that the customer should first upgrade to V5R4 of i5/OS. After the upgrade, they should run ANZOBJCVN to identify programs that will not be able to upgrade to IBM i 6.1. This step is crucial as it allows the customer to identify any compatibility issues with their existing programs before proceeding with the upgrade. Once the incompatible programs are identified, the customer can then take appropriate actions to resolve the issues and ensure a smooth upgrade to IBM i 6.1.

To restore the System Reply Lists, System Values, Job and Subsystem Descriptions from tape, the administrator should perform a Manual IPL to DST and select Change Install Options on the Install the Operating System display. Then, they should choose the Restore option 1=Restore programs and language objects from the current media set. Finally, they need to select the Message Reply List, System information, Job and Subsystem Descriptions. This process will ensure that the necessary data is restored for high availability on the new system.
