Last update: Nov 30 ,2025
Question 1

A system administrator was asked by the development team to inform them of any warning message
which contains a string Connection on a WebSphere Application Server with High Performance
Extensible Logging (HPEL) enabled.

  • A. Configure log detail levels to include filter on “Connection” string.
  • B. Use the Log Viewer in the administrative console with filter on “Connection” string.
  • C. Use the logviewer.sh or logviewer.bat command with appropriate options.
  • D. Use the Log Viewer in the administrative console with filter on “Connection” string and enable the “Refresh automatically” feature.
Answer:

C


Explanation:
The High Performance Extensible Logging (HPEL) facility writes to the log and trace repositories in a
binary format. You can view, query and filter the repository using the LogViewer command.
logviewer.sh -monitor -includeLoggers Connection
-monitor [integer]Specifies that you want the logViewer to continuously monitor the repository and
output new log record entries as they are created. You can provide an optional integer argument
after this parameter to specify how often you want the LogViewer tool to query the repository for
new records. By default the logViewer queries the repository for new records every 5 seconds. When
used with other filtering options, only those new records that match the filter criteria are displayed.

Question 2

A system administrator is required to monitor the application server logs for heap memory issues
and determine if the heap memory usage is reaching close to 70% of the maximum heap. The
application server is configured with an initial heap of 256 MB and a max heap of 1 GB.
How should the administrator determine if the application server is utilizing 70% of the max
allocated heap memory?

  • A. Check the System logs for OutOfMemoryErrors.Trigger a heap dump from the Integrated Solutions Console (ISC).Analyze the heap dump.
  • B. Configure WebSphere Application Server to enable verbose garbage collection.Analyze the garbage collection cycles in the native logs.
  • C. Configure Initial heap to be equal to the max heap.Trigger a heap dump from the Integrated Solutions Console (ISC).Analyze the heap dump.
  • D. Configure WebSphere Application Server to increase max heap.Trigger a heap dump from the Integrated Solutions Console (ISC).Analyze the heap dump.
Answer:

B


Explanation:
Enabling verboseGC (Garbage Collection) output is often required when diagnosing issues with
WebSphere Application Server. Because verboseGC data is critical to troubleshooting memory and
performance problems and the overhead is generally very low, you may want to consider proactively
enabling it in your environment.

Question 3

After collecting diagnostic trace from a server running under a cell, a system administrator noticed
that the trace files contained sensitive information.
To avoid this issue in the future, what can the administrator do?

  • A. Configure entries in the ras.rawtracelist.properties.
  • B. Configure suppressSensitiveTrace in the bootstrap.properties file.
  • C. Clear the “Disable logging and tracing of potentially sensitive data” checkbox.
  • D. Add the entry com.ibm.websphere.logging.RawTraceList=off to the end of the trace string.
Answer:

C


Explanation:
You can either enable or disable the sensitive log and trace guard to help control whether loggers
write sensitive information in your log and trace files.
Use the administrative console to enable or disable the sensitive log and trace guard.

Question 4

A system administrator needs to trigger a javacore only when a java,net.SocketTimeoutException is
encountered in real time.
What does the administrator have to configure to trigger the javacore dump?

  • A. Configure the JAVA_DUMP_OPTS environment variable to capture javacore for ANYSIGNAL and all exceptions.
  • B. Configure an Xdump:java Generic JVM argument on WebSphere Application Server with the filter for java.net.SocketTimeoutException.
  • C. Code wsadmin script to capture javacore and then execute it after the java.net.SocketTimeoutException has been encountered.
  • D. Use the log filter in HPEL to monitor for java.net.SocketTimeoutException and then gather a javacore dump from the Integrated Solutions Console (ISC).
Answer:

B


Explanation:
Dump agents are set up during JVM initialization. They enable you to use events occurring within the
JVM, such as Garbage Collection, thread start, or JVM termination, to initiate one of four types of
dump or to launch an external tool. Default dump agents are set up at JVM initialization They are
sufficient for most cases, but the use of the -Xdump option on the command line allows more
detailed configuration of dump agents. The total set of options and sub-options available under -
Xdump is very flexible and there are many examples presented in this chapter to show this flexibility.
Example: To generate system cores:
-Xdump:system:events=user

Question 5

An EJB application posts a request message into a JMS destination and waits for a response message
on a different JMS destination. To correlate the response message to the request message, the
application uses the JMS correlationId of the message. The application waits up to five seconds for a
response before timing out the request.
A Message Driven Bean (MDB) running on a different cluster is responsible for consuming the
request message, process it and post a response message.
The destinations are defined in a Service Integration Bus (SIB) within the cell.
Intermittent timeout exceptions have occurred for the requester application. How can a system
administrator correlate and analyze the debug information from both requester and consumer
applications?

  • A. Enable High Performance Extensible Logging (HPEL).Use HPEL logViewer command to see debug information.
  • B. Enable a diagnostic trace in both requester and consumer servers.Use the Integrated Solutions Console (ISC) to set the admin=all trace.Analyze the trace.
  • C. Enable High Performance Extensible Logging (HPEL).Enable Cross Component Trace (XCT) to include request IDs in log and trace records.Use HPEL logViewer command with appropriate filters to see debug information.
  • D. Using the Integrated Solutions Console (ISC), browse the request message that has timed out and look for any key application data.Search for exceptions using the key application data in both requester and consumer in native_stderr.log and native_stdout.log.
Answer:

C


Explanation:
Cross Component Trace (XCT) annotates the logs so that log entries that are related to a request that
is serviced by more than one thread, process, or even server are identified as belonging to the same
unit of work. XCT helps identify the root cause of problems across components.

Question 8

A system administrator has been asked to uninstall an application from a cluster running in a
WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment cell. This application was installed from the
Integrated Solutions Console (ISC). The monitored directory for the cluster is <cluster1_dir>.
What step(s) can the administrator perform to uninstall the application?

  • A. Delete the application file from <cluster1_dir>.
  • B. Stop the running cluster.Delete the application file from <cluster1_dir>.
  • C. Stop the running cluster.Copy the application file to <cluster1_dir>.Delete the application file from <cluster1_dir>.
  • D. Create a properties file to describe the deletion of the application file.Copy the properties file to <cluster1_dir>.
Answer:

D


Explanation:
You can use application properties files to install enterprise application files on a server or cluster,
update deployed applications or modules, or uninstall deployed applications or modules. Drag or
copy a properties file to a monitored directory and the product performs the deployment action
described in the properties file. The enterprise application files that you can install, update, or
uninstall using properties files include enterprise archive (EAR), web archive (WAR), Java archive
(JAR), and Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) archive (SAR) files.
