IBM Certified System Administrator - MQ V8.0
This intermediate level
certification is for system administrators who have extensive product
knowledge and are expected to plan, install, configure and maintain the
product.
These system administrators perform day-to-day administration activities which cover:
1. Planning, Installation and Migration
2. Configuration
3. Security
4. Administration
5. Availability
6. Monitoring
7. Performance Tuning
8. Problem Determination
It is expected that this system administrator will be generally self-sufficient and be able to perform the tasks involved in the role with limited assistance from peers, product documentation and vendor support services.
Due to the various platforms supported by IBM MQ V8.0, this certification is a cross platform certification. There are platform specific questions on the certification test.
To attain the IBM Certified System Administrator - MQ V8.0 certification, candidates must pass 1 test. To prepare for the test, it is recommended to refer to the job role description and recommended prerequisite skills, and click the link to the test below to refer to the test objectives (skills measured on the test) and the Test preparation tab.
Knowledge and foundational skills one needs to possess
before acquiring skills measured on the certification test. These
foundational skills are NOT measured on the test. For skills measured on
the test, see Test Objectives.)

Each test:
To prepare for Test C2180-410, it is first recommended that you are familiar with the job role description and the parameters this certification is based on, as well as have knowledge of the topics outlined in the test objectives/skills measured on the test. Compare your own technical level to the test objectives and the recommended training resources, and then determine for yourself how much preparation you require. Note that these educational sources are recommended, but not required (*) before taking a certification test.
Before preparing for the certification test, it is recommended that you measure your current level of skill by taking the Sample Test (located from the "Sample/Assessment test" link above)..
You can prepare for the test through the Tutor Approach (classroom, instructor led course, and other sources) or the Self-Study Approach. Sources within each approach collectively cover the skills measured on the test.
To prepare via the Tutor Approach, take course [WM102 + (WM207 or WM209) + WM212], and refer to the sources with an * in front of them. Note that per this formula, you are required to take only 3 courses.
To prepare via the Self-Study Approach, omit the courses, and refer to all other sources with and without the * in front.

- Test C2180-410 - IBM MQ V8.0, System Administration
Each test:
- contains questions requiring single and multiple answers. For multiple-answer questions, you need to choose all required options to get the answer correct. You will be advised how many options make up the correct answer.
- is designed to provide diagnostic feedback on the Examination Score Report, correlating back to the test objectives, informing the test taker how he or she did on each section of the test. As a result, to maintain the integrity of each test, questions and answers are not distributed.

Hi,
ReplyDeleteI am unclear about an answer for a question in the certification test. Would you kindly provide a plausible answer for the following question?
1.An application using the WebSphere MQ classes for JMS encountered an error. A First Failure Support
Technology (FFST) file has been created named JMS0001.FDC.
Which default directory should the system administrator review?
A. /var/mqm/errors
B. /var/mqm/errors/FFDC
C. /var/mqm/qmgrs/QMGRNAME/errors/FFDC
D. current application working directory/FFDC
/var/mqm/errors - there will be no default directories named FFDC
ReplyDeleteA system administrator needs to design a solution for transferring confidential data from a financial
ReplyDeleteinstitution that is using MQ network to another institution that is using non-MQ network and
FTP/SFTP protocols. The data must be protected while the messages are on the queues on the
MQ network and during the transfer.
How can the system administrator do this?
A. Use IBM MQ Managed File Transfer and Advanced Message Security.
B. Use publish/subscribe topology combined with SSL/TLS enabled channels.
C. Enable SSL/TLS on sender and receiver channels and also enable the FTP protocol on the
queue manager.
D. Use native MQ, which has the ability to transfer files over a non-MQ (FTP/SFTP) network and
encrypts data on queues by default
any answer for the above question
