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

1. The Java method Customer.getLastOrderAmt() is verbalized as last order amt} of {this}? and returns the amount of the last customer order. The rule authors decided that ?amt? should be spelled out as ?amount? in rule artifacts. Many rule artifacts already exist using the ?amt? abbreviation. To address the new requirement, the application developer should:

A) use Alt+Shift+R from a rule editor to rename ?amt? to ?amount? and apply refactoring to the rule artifacts.
B) rename the Business Object Model (BOM) method and perform a BOM update to refactor the rule projects.
C) edit the subject used in the verbalization and apply refactoring to the rules.
D) use a semantic query with an action to refactor the rule artifacts.

2. 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) Set the ruleset property ilog.rules.engine.useJIT to true.
D) Edit the resource adapter descriptor ra.xml to set the asynchronousRulesetParsing property to true.

3. The application developer needs to automate the rule project build process. The rule projects are stored in a Source Code Control system. What should the application developer do to automate the build process?

A) Use the Ant zip task to zip the rule project contents into a ruleset.
B) Install Rule Designer on the build machine and use the Rule Designer build automation tool to generate the ruleset.
C) Install Rule Designer on the build machine and write a Java class to call the rule engine API.
D) Copy the Rule Designer API library files onto the build machine, write a Java class to call a remotely running Rule Designer to generate the ruleset using the Rule Designer API.

4. A Record instance is passed to the ruleflow as a ruleset parameter. A rule task performs validation and should accumulate all the issues found in the Record. The associated rules have the following characteristics:
-There are numerous action rules and decision tables. ?The rule conditions only involve the
Record class and its attributes. -The rule conditions perform many different tests in various order. -The action part of the rules only adds messages to a list that is not involved in the conditions of the rules.
Which execution settings should the application developer choose for the validation rule task?

A) Algorithm: RetePlus Exit Criteria: RuleInstance
B) Algorithm: Sequential Exit Criteria: None
C) Algorithm: Fastpath Exit Criteria: RuleInstance
D) Algorithm: RetePlus Exit Criteria: None

5. An application developer currently has a rule project with only the following two rules. It is required that at least one rule is executed for all transactions.
