Oracle SOA Suite 11g Essentials Sample Questions:
Question 1
You have modeled a composite that has two BPEL processes: X and Y.
The WSDL for Y defines a single portType with a one-way operation. The WSDL for X defines a single portType with a request-response operation. The component property bpel.config.trancation is set to requiresNew for Process X, and the component property bpel.config.oneWayDeliveryPolicy is set to async.persist for process Y. You have wired these components so that Y invokes X.
What is the result when X throws a remoteFault at runtime, assuming that X has no catch blocks defined within it?
A. The transaction of X is rolled back, and process Y gets a remoteFault that can be caught and handled.
B. The transaction of X is committed, and process gets a Fault back that can be caught and handled.
C. The transactions of X and Y are both rolled back even If you have fault handlers configured for handling the remote fault in Y.
D. A Fault policy defined for X for handling the remoteFault is triggered and handles the fault.
Question 2
Each JCA adapter has a single deployment listed in the WLS Console. Identify two accurate descriptions about managing multiple instances of each adapter in the runtime.
A. JCA tiles for each adapter instance
B. Instance configuration in the SOA Suite deployment plan
C. One entry per adapter instance in the adapters_config.xml file
D. Adapter connection factories specified in the WLS Console
Question 3
You want to monitor a specific BPEL process variable in your process. You have all the capability Oracle SOA Suite at your disposal.
Which approach do you take if you want the variable data written to a JMS queue to be processed by another application?
A. Use a BPEL Process Manager sensor to collect the value and context.
B. Use Oracle Event Processing (OEP) to monitor the activities being executed in the BPI l process.
C. Identify the variable as a key performance Indicator (KPI) and track it in BAM.
D. Use a composite sensor on the appropriate service or reference binding.
Question 4
A customer demands access to your Service Composite Architecture (SCA) application.
However keeping with the customer's company standards, the interface must be EJB 3.0.
Which solution meets the needs of the customer while requiring the least amount of time, effort, and architectural change for you?
A. Create a small EJB 3.0 application that interfaces directly with your SCA application. This approach hides the web service interface from your customer while adding the smallest amount of overhead in the process
B. Explain to the customer the importance and flexibility of modem web services, and encourage the customer to learn some new skills.
C. Use the Mediator component to provide an EJB 3.0 interface in addition to the existing web service interface. This approach adds the least amount of overhead to each call.
D. Create an EJB 3.0 interface using Oracle Service Bus, which, in turn, invokes the SCA application through its native web service interface. This approach hides the web service Interface from your customer while adding the smallest amount of overhead in the process.
Question 5
Which adapter is configured using Application Explorer?
A. Oracle Adapter for Tuxedo
B. Oracle Applications Adapter
C. Oracle Adapter for VSAM
D. Oracle Adapter for SAP
