IBM WebSphere Operational Decision Management V8.0 Application Development Sample Questions:
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. edit the subject used in the verbalization and apply refactoring to the rules.
- B. use Alt+Shift+R from a rule editor to rename ?amt? to ?amount? and apply refactoring to the rule artifacts.
- C. use a semantic query with an action to refactor the rule artifacts.
- D. rename the Business Object Model (BOM) method and perform a BOM update to refactor the rule projects.
Correct Answer: A 🗳️
A ruleset for validating the content of a message including cross-field validation and business range checking is ready to be integrated into an architecture with only a JVM container. The application must have the capability of providing to and removing from working memory any number of objects without resetting the rule session. Which execution approach should the application developer choose for this application integration?
- A. Java SE with stateful rule session
- B. POJO with stateful rule session
- C. POJO with stateless rule session
- D. Java SE with stateless rule session
Correct Answer: A 🗳️

- C. Execute the res-jar Ant task to set up email notifications.
- D. Register the business user in the Decision Center Console.
Correct Answer: B 🗳️
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.bom.enabled = true
- B. ruleset.optimization.enabled = false
- C. ruleset.sequential.trace.enabled = true
- D. ruleset.trace.enabled = true
Correct Answer: C 🗳️
An application developer is preparing to deploy the ruleset that uses a Java Execution Object Model (XOM) to a Java EE environment for remote access, using stateless rule sessions. What should the application developer do to ensure optimal execution performance?
- A. Change the Execution Unit (XU) traceLevel property from WARNING to FINE on the application server.
- B. Disable Java 2 Security.
- C. In the ra.xml file, set the transaction-support property to LocalTransaction.
- D. Set the ruleset property ruleset.sequential.trace.enabled to true.
