Oracle SOA 11g Certification Exam Practice Test

The fault management framework attempts to identify a fault in the following order:
1. Reference binding component defined in the composite XML file.
2. BPEL process or Oracle mediator service component defined in the composite XML file.
3. SOA composite application defined in the composite XML file.

The correct answer is Dynamic. In an Oracle mediator component, the Dynamic routing rule type allows the routing logic to be externalized to an Oracle rules dictionary. This means that the routing decisions can be dynamically determined based on the rules defined in the dictionary, providing flexibility and adaptability in the routing process.

The given correct answer for this question is "Agility". By using technology, businesses are able to adapt and respond to changes more easily. This allows them to alter rules and meet the changing needs of the business, making the application more responsive to business requirements. Agility refers to the ability to quickly and efficiently adapt to changes, making it the most suitable term to describe this benefit of business rules.

The mediator component in Oracle SOA Suite 11g is responsible for facilitating communication between different components within a composite. It enables transformation, routing, and payload validation within the composite itself. On the other hand, the Oracle Service Bus is a standalone component that handles communication between service endpoints. It also provides functionality for transformation, routing, and payload validation. Therefore, the correct answer is that the mediator is responsible for communication within a composite, while the Oracle Service Bus handles communication between service endpoints.

The SAO component palette of Oracle SOA component includes BPEL process and Human task. BPEL process is a component used for orchestrating web services and defining business processes, while Human task is used for creating tasks that require human intervention in a business process. These two components are commonly used in Oracle SOA to build and manage complex business processes.

Event definition language (EDL) is used to define business events in Oracle SOA Suite 11g. EDL provides a language for defining and describing events, including their payload structure, metadata, and behavior. It allows developers to specify the format and structure of events, as well as their associated actions and policies. EDL is an integral part of Oracle SOA Suite and is used to configure and manage event-driven processes and applications.

The WS-addressing header contains the correlation ID. This ID is used to correlate different messages or requests between different systems or components in a distributed system. It helps to track and identify the relationship between multiple messages or requests, ensuring that they are processed correctly and in the intended order.

The correct answer is "Fault management framework." This framework provides an alternative to design BPEL processes with catch activities within a scope. It helps in managing faults or exceptions that may occur during the execution of the process. It provides a systematic approach to handle and resolve faults, ensuring the smooth flow of the process and minimizing disruptions.

The SCA assembly model represents a series of artifacts. In the context of Service Component Architecture (SCA), artifacts refer to the various components and resources that are defined in XML files. These artifacts can include services, references, bindings, implementations, and other elements that are used to define the structure and behavior of a composite application. The SCA assembly model allows these artifacts to be organized and connected together to create a complete application.

The Pick activity in BPEL is used to implement a choice-based behavior. It allows the process to wait for multiple events to occur, such as receiving a reply or reaching a time limit, and then proceed based on the first event that occurs. In this scenario, the Pick activity would be used to send a request to a service and wait until it receives a reply or until a certain time limit is reached, whichever comes first.

In this case, the participant can just receive a notification task and the business process will not wait for their response. This means that the participant does not need to take any action or provide any input. The FYI (for your information) participant type is suitable for this scenario as it is used to inform participants about a task or process without requiring their active involvement or response.

Business faults and runtime faults are both types of faults in BPEL (Business Process Execution Language). Business faults refer to errors or exceptions that occur during the execution of a business process, such as invalid input data or a failure to meet business rules. Runtime faults, on the other hand, are errors that occur during the execution of the BPEL process itself, such as a communication failure or a timeout. Both types of faults can cause the BPEL process to fail or deviate from its intended behavior.

In Oracle JDeveloper 11g composite editor, interactions between service end points, components, and references are defined using wires. Wires connect the input and output ports of different components, allowing them to communicate and exchange data. By establishing these connections, the components can interact with each other and perform the desired functionality within the composite application.

In Oracle JDeveloper 11g composite editor tool, the "Exposed services line" is used to define interfaces to the composite application. This line allows the user to specify the services that will be exposed by the composite, enabling other applications or systems to interact with it. It is used to define the interfaces that can be accessed by external entities, making them available for integration with other components or systems.

The flowN activity creates multiple flows equal to the value of N, which is defined at routine. This means that if the value of N is 5, then the flowN activity will create 5 separate flows. Each of these flows will be executed independently, allowing for parallel processing and increased efficiency when dealing with a large number of flows.

The Receive activity in Oracle BPEL PM is used to wait for an asynchronous callback response message from a service. This activity is responsible for receiving the response message and continuing the process flow based on the received response.

Bucket sets are constraints defined in the rule dictionary as lists of values, a list of range values, or enumerators.

The purpose of the Oracle BPEL process manager dehydration store is to preserve long-running processes and ensure the location of state and reliability in the event of a system shutdown. The dehydration store allows the process state to be stored, allocating memory to be given back to the system and preventing resource consumption while waiting. This helps avoid system slowdowns due to excessive IO and ensures the continuity of long-running processes.

The Oracle mediator component supports both static and dynamic routing rules. Static routing rules are predefined and do not change based on the runtime conditions. They are typically used for simple routing scenarios where the destination is known in advance. Dynamic routing rules, on the other hand, are determined at runtime based on certain conditions or criteria. They allow for more flexibility and adaptability in routing messages to different destinations based on the current runtime context.

The three service component implementations supported in Oracle SOA Suite 11g are Mediator component, BPEL process, and Business rule component. The Mediator component is used for routing and transforming messages between different services. BPEL process is used for orchestrating multiple services into a single business process. The Business rule component is used for defining and managing business rules that can be applied to the services. These three components provide the necessary tools and functionalities for building and managing services in Oracle SOA Suite 11g.

The correct answer is the fire-forget model. The event delivery network is designed to handle asynchronous messaging, which means that the sender does not wait for a response or acknowledgement from the receiver. In the fire-forget model, the sender simply sends the event and does not expect any response or confirmation. This model is commonly used in scenarios where the sender does not need to know the outcome or result of the event, and the receiver can process the event independently.

To build a custom Java fault handler in BPEL, you need to provide a Java fault that implements the Ifaultrecoveryjavaclass. This interface allows you to define the recovery logic for handling faults in the BPEL process. By implementing this interface, you can customize the fault handling behavior and define how the process should recover from faults.

The given answer is correct because it accurately identifies two true statements about Oracle WSM. The first statement states that custom policies can be created if the predefined policies do not meet the user's needs, which allows for flexibility and customization. The second statement states that the Oracle WSM policy manager not only manages security policies but also manages other types of policies such as MTOM, reliable messaging, addressing, and management. These two statements provide accurate information about the capabilities and functionality of Oracle WSM.

The Oracle business rules components include a rule dictionary. A rule dictionary is a collection of rules that are used to define the logic and behavior of a system. It acts as a central repository for all the rules and provides a structured way to manage and organize them. The rule dictionary allows users to define, store, and retrieve rules for use in the rules engine. This component plays a crucial role in the execution and evaluation of business rules within the Oracle business rules system.

The first statement is false because a service component can also be created using other editors in JDeveloper, such as the BPEL editor or the Mediator editor. The second statement is true because having a unique name for each project development is necessary to avoid conflicts and ensure proper organization within the SOA composite application. The third statement is true because when a service component is deleted, all references to it are automatically deleted to maintain data integrity. The fourth statement is false because deleting a component does not automatically remove WSDL imports used by other components.

The Oracle WSM policy framework is capable of managing and securing web services consistently across an organization. It can be utilized by both developers during the design phase and system administrators during routine operations.

The first statement is false because Oracle B2B is not a part of Oracle EDN suit or involved in web service mediation. The second statement is true as Oracle B2B is indeed an e-commerce gateway that facilitates the secure and reliable exchange of business documents between an enterprise and its trading partners. The third statement is false because Oracle B2B does not provide web services orchestration through BPEL. The fourth statement is true as Oracle B2B is a binding component of the Oracle SOA suit platform, enabling the implementation of e-commerce business processes.

The first statement is false because proxy services in Oracle Service Bus (OSB) do have a pipeline. The second statement is true because proxy services are indeed definitions of generic intermediary web services that are hosted locally on Oracle Service Bus. The third statement is not mentioned in the given options. The fourth statement is true because the message handling capabilities of a proxy service in OSB are implemented using message flow definitions, which include the use of a pipeline.

XSD-based validations are not more comprehensive than schematron-based validations. Oracle mediator does use schematron files for semantic validation. Schematron files typically have a .sch extension. If the schematron file is empty, an error message or warning will be displayed.

The correct answer is to assign users, groups, and application rules using a delimited string of users, groups, or application roles. This method allows for flexibility in assigning multiple users, groups, or application roles to a task during design time. It is a common practice in workflow systems to use a delimited string to specify the users, groups, or roles that should be assigned to a task. This allows for easy configuration and management of task assignments without the need for complex queries or external systems like LDAP or Oracle Haley.

The correct answer is Activity sensors, Variable sensors, and Fault sensors. BPEL (Business Process Execution Language) sensors are used to monitor and gather information about the execution of a BPEL process. Activity sensors are used to track the execution of individual activities within the process, providing information about their start, end, and duration. Variable sensors monitor the values of variables used in the process, allowing for tracking and analysis of data flow. Fault sensors detect and capture any faults or errors that occur during the execution of the process, providing information for error handling and troubleshooting.

The correct answer is to attach the updated policy in JDeveloper and redeploy the component. This option allows for the updated security policy to be integrated into the Oracle SOA composite and applied to the web service manager. By redeploying the component, the changes in the security policy will take effect in the production environment.

The three applicable integration interfaces that are valid for Oracle Application Adapter are PL/SQL API, Oracle XML SOA gateway, and JNDI. PL/SQL API allows for integration with Oracle databases using PL/SQL programming language. Oracle XML SOA gateway enables integration with XML-based services and applications. JNDI (Java Naming and Directory Interface) allows for integration with Java-based applications and services. Batch files, however, are not valid integration interfaces for Oracle Application Adapter.

The human task service prevents tasks to users via the Oracle BPM wordlist application and actionable notifications sent via email. This means that users can receive tasks through the Oracle BPM wordlist application and also receive notifications via email that allow them to take action on the tasks.

The correct answer is "Worklist." In Oracle SOA Suite 11g, the Worklist application is configured to enable the composite application components to send application workload to users. The Worklist allows users to view and manage their assigned tasks and notifications within the SOA Suite environment.

Oracle SOA composite applications can be developed using Oracle JDeveloper, Oracle WLST, and Oracle Fusion Middleware control. Oracle JDeveloper is an integrated development environment specifically designed for building SOA applications. Oracle WLST (WebLogic Scripting Tool) is a command-line scripting interface used for managing and configuring Oracle WebLogic Server, which is commonly used in SOA development. Oracle Fusion Middleware control is a web-based management console that allows administrators to monitor and manage Oracle Fusion Middleware components, including SOA composite applications. These three tools provide developers with the necessary capabilities to design, build, and manage Oracle SOA composite applications.

In Oracle jdeveloper 11g composite editor, the files that can be referred to understand the services and references for each service component and to ensure that the wiring between components works are the *.xml files. These XML files contain the configuration and metadata information for the composite/component/process of a particular composite application. By referring to these XML files, developers can understand the structure and connections between different components in the composite application.

Using the Oracle BPM worklist application, a user can perform authorized actions on tasks, create personal tasks, and define delegation rules. The user can perform actions such as completing, reassigning, or escalating tasks that are assigned to them. They can also create personal tasks for themselves to manage their own work. Additionally, they can define delegation rules to specify who can act on their behalf when they are unavailable.

The three true statements about service component architecture (SCA) are: it is an assembly model of service components in composite applications, SCA is the set of specifications governed by OASIS through open service architecture, and the use of specific programming language and technologies is not required with SCA. This means that SCA provides a flexible and technology-independent approach to building composite applications by allowing the assembly of service components without being tied to a specific programming language or technology.

The correct answer states that the human task component in SOA 11g is not available in standalone mode and is always associated with the BPEL process service component. This means that the human task cannot be used independently and must be integrated with the BPEL process service component in order to be implemented.

Control-based routing refers to the process of routing data based on specific rules or conditions. In this scenario, the mediator is receiving a file containing data about new customers and needs to route the data to the appropriate database based on the country mentioned in the customer's address. This routing decision is based on the control or rule of matching the country in the address and directing the data to the corresponding database. Therefore, the given scenario is an example of control-based routing.

The correct answer is Oracle BAM active Data cache, Oracle BAM event Engine, and Oracle BAM report Cache. These three components are part of the Oracle BAM server. The Oracle BAM active Data cache is responsible for storing and managing real-time data that is used for analysis and reporting. The Oracle BAM event Engine captures and processes events from various sources and transforms them into meaningful information. The Oracle BAM report Cache is used to store and retrieve pre-computed data for faster reporting and analysis. These components work together to provide real-time monitoring, analysis, and reporting capabilities in Oracle BAM server.

Runtime faults are the result of problems within the running of the BPEL process service components or web service. They are not user defined and are thrown by the system. Application specific faults that are generated when there is a problem with the information being processed are not considered runtime faults. Faults can occur when an application executes a through activity or when an invoke activity receives a fault as a response, but this is not a valid statement for all runtime faults.

The three components that can be used to configure a human task are the Task routing service, Identity service, and Security service. The Task routing service is responsible for routing the task to the appropriate person or group. The Identity service ensures that the task is assigned to the correct individual based on their role or permissions. The Security service ensures that only authorized individuals have access to the task and its associated data. These three components work together to ensure that human tasks are properly managed, assigned, and secured within a system.

The statement that describes the "rules" component of Oracle business rules system is that rules are data or business objects on which the rules engine evaluates rule conditions. This means that the rules engine uses the data or business objects to determine whether the conditions of the rule are met and if so, it executes the corresponding action.

The missing tags in the snippet are "Fault" and "catch". These tags are used in fault handling to catch and handle specific errors or exceptions that may occur during the execution of the code.

SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) endpoints are a type of service with transactional behavior that can be implemented in Oracle database. SOAP endpoints allow for the exchange of structured information in web services using XML. They enable communication between different systems over a network and support transactional behavior, ensuring that data is reliably and securely transmitted between the client and the server.

The correct answer is File adapters. In Oracle SOA Suite 11g, two types of services with transactional behavior that can be implemented are database adapters and file adapters. File adapters allow the integration of file-based systems and processes into the SOA infrastructure, enabling the exchange of data between file-based systems and other applications. This allows for seamless integration and transactional behavior when dealing with file-based systems in the Oracle SOA Suite.

The correct statement that defines the facts is that they have a collection of facts type, global variables constants function, and rulesets. Facts are data or business objects on which the rule engine evaluates the rule condition.
