IBM Exam C9510-401 Topic 7 Question 90 Discussion

Actual exam question for IBM's C9510-401 exam

Question #: 90
Topic #: 7

A developer created an enterprise application which contained data source and security role information. The developer asked a system administrator to install this application to an application server where global security is enabled using the Integrated Solutions Console (ISC). A new data source was configured at the server scope for the use of this application. While load testing the application, the developer noticed that the attributes configured on the new data source were ignored by the application server.

How can the administrator ensure that the attributes configured on the new data source are used by the application server?

ACreate the data source under cell scope instead of server scope.

BDelete any data source of the same name defined under node, cluster or cell scope.

CReinstall the application and clear the Process embedded configuration check box.

DCorrect the component-managed and container-managed authentication aliases set on the data source.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C

Process embedded configuration

Specifies whether the embedded configuration should be processed. An embedded configuration consists of files such as resource.xml, variables.xml, and deployment.xml. You can collect WebSphere Application Server-specific deployment information and store it in the application EAR file. Such an EAR file can then be installed into a WebSphere Application Server configuration, using application management interfaces that are described in the topic, Installing an application through programming.

One such application EAR file is an enhanced EAR file, which is created when you export an already installed application. The embedded configuration check box identifies such an enhanced EAR file. By default, the check box for 'process embedded configuration' is checked if the application is detected to be an enhanced EAR. The application install options are prepopulated with the information from the embedded configuration whether the check box for 'process embedded configuration' is checked or not. Users can overwrite these values during the deployment process.

I believe correcting the component-managed and container-managed authentication aliases set on the data source could also be a potential solution.

But what if that doesn't work? Should the administrator also consider deleting any data source of the same name defined under node, cluster or cell scope?

B seems like the right choice to me. Deleting any existing data source with the same name should ensure that the new one is used instead.

I agree, deleting the existing data source with the same name should solve the issue.

I think B is the best option. It makes sense to remove any conflicting data sources.

I agree with Gary, that might solve the issue with the attributes being ignored.
