IBM WebSphere Operational Decision Management V8.0 Application Development Sample Questions:

1. Decision Center contains the following:
-Two rule projects: CorporateRiskAssessment and NewYorkRiskAssessment.
-One RuleApp RiskAssessmentRuleApp with a single ruleset CorporateRiskAssessmentRuleset.
An application developer needs to deploy the NewYorkRiskAssessment rule project to Rule
Execution Server as a separate ruleset. Updates to NewYorkRiskAssessment need to be
deployed in a single action with updates to CorporateRiskAssessment. How should the application
developer setup the RuleApp structure in Decision Center to accomplish these requirements?

A) Under Configure > Manage RuleApps, select RiskAssessmentRuleApp and click Edit to add the NewYorkRiskAssessmentRuleset ruleset.
B) Under Configure > Manage RuleApps, click Deploy to add the NewYorkRiskAssessmentRuleset ruleset.
C) Under Configure > Manage RuleApps, click New to create a new NewYorkRiskAssessmentRuleset ruleset.
D) Select the NewYorkRiskAssessment rule project on the Home tab, and under Project > Manage Subbranches and Baselines > Baselines, click New to add the NewYorkRiskAssessmentRuleset ruleset.

2. An application developer is validating a rule project in Rule Designer and needs to create a new DVS Excel File Run Configuration. Instead of testing all of the rules, the new run configuration must also specify a subset of the rules to test. Which setting in the run configuration must the application developer apply?

A) On the Extraction tab, select to use an extractor which specifies the rules to test.
B) On the Excel File tab, click Browse next to Rule Project and specify the rules to test.
C) On the Excel File tab, specify the rules to test.
D) On the Rules tab, specify the rules to test.

3. A company is developing their insurance claim validation system with business rules. It is required that the latest activated version of the ruleset should be executed when a new ruleset is deployed regardless of the versioning policy. The ruleset will be executed in Java SE. What should an application developer do to satisfy the requirements when implementing rule execution code?

A) Configure the IlrSessionRequest class to set the ruleset path to /RuleAppname/rulesetname.
B) Set a unique execution ID with IlrSessionRequest.setExecutionID()
C) Edit the resource adapter descriptor ra.xml to set the asynchronousRulesetParsing property to true.
D) Set the ruleset property ilog.rules.engine.useJIT to true.

4. The following user groups are in the Decision Center: ?Authors: can create rules and set the status to defined after authoring is complete ?Testers: can only view rules in defined status and change status to validated after testing is complete ?Deployers: can only view rules in validated status and change status to deployed ?Administrators: have all permissions What mechanism can the application developer use to implement the above governance policy?

A) Use the built-in Decision Center permission management.
B) Set up the user group permissions in Decision Center.
C) Implement a rule session interceptor in Decision Center.
D) Set up the user group permissions and implement a session controller in Decision Center.

5. A ruleset contains one rule task that uses RetePlus execution mode, and one rule task that uses FastPath. For troubleshooting purposes, the application developer implements logging of the names of all the rules fired for every ruleset execution, using the API IlrSessionRequest.setTraceEnabled(true) and IlrSessionResponse.getRulesetExecutionTrace(). What property should the application developer also configure on the ruleset?

A) ruleset.trace.enabled = true
B) ruleset.optimization.enabled = false
C) ruleset.bom.enabled = true
D) ruleset.sequential.trace.enabled = true
