Consider the following requirement:
Whether or not an operator is allowed to view accounts in a PRPC-based credit card application
depends on the grade of the employee and the credit limit of the account. The grade, which is an
attribute in the company's LDAP directory, is a numeric scale ranging from 1-10. The requirement
states that employees may open accounts that have a Credit Limit less than (10000 * (10/Grade)).
For example, Senior Vice Presidents (Grade = 1) can open accounts with less than a $100,000
limit, and entry-level employees (Grade = 10) can open accounts with less than a $10,000 limit.
Which of the following is the best approach to meet this requirement? (Choose One)
A. The operator's Access Group references an Access Role. The "open instances" setting for the
Access of Role to Object (ARO) references an Access When rule that reads a MaxAmountToOpen

The home loan application uses a PRPC SOAP connector to get the credit score of the applicant
from an external webservice hosted by a third party company. The application determines the risk
level for the applicant based on this score. The underwriting group handling these cases must be
able to specify the risk level that is appropriate to a score band.
When the CSR is working on the case, the application invokes the SOAP connector to get the
credit score and the external service returns the credit score of the applicant. However, since the
information is confidential, it is required to display the risk level of the applicant based on their
score and not the actual score.

In a Credit card dispute application, PRPC connects to an external service to receive the
transactions made by the account holder. When the CSR (Customer Service Representative) is
working on the dispute they should see only the last ten transactions made by the account holder.
If the transaction that the account holder wants to dispute does not appear in the list then the CSR
should perform a search by entering the date of transaction or the transaction amount or the
merchant name. The transaction list should display the 10 transactions that satisfies the criteria.
In any circumstance the CSR should not see more than 10 transactions in the screen and cannot
paginate through results. The external service returns transactions ordered by date of transaction
with the recent ones appearing first.
Given the above requirements, which of these approaches is most appropriate and would satisfy
both these requirements? (Choose One)
A. Invoke the activity that makes a connector call to get the list of transactions from an external
service before the flow action is rendered. Write a data transform to copy the connector result to a
declare page. Create a repeating grid layout using the declare page as its source. Display the first
10 results of the declare page by using the pagination setting First X results
B. Invoke the activity that makes a connector call to get the list of transactions from an external
service before the flow action is rendered so that all transactions are available on the clipboard.
When a search parameter (transaction date, amount and merchant name) is specified, use a data
transform to copy the appropriate subset of the transaction to a new page
C. Create a thread level declare page which uses an activity as its source. The activity will invoke
the connector activity and then copy only the first 10 pages to the declare page. Display the first
10 results of the declare page by using the pagination setting "First X" results
D. Create a thread level declare page which uses an activity as its source. This activity will invoke
the connector activity and then copy only the first 10 pages to the pagelist property defined in the
declare page; this property is used as a source for the repeating grid. A when rule would be used
to control when the results are fresh based on the values of the search parameters (transaction
date, amount and merchant name)

Given the above requirements which of the following approaches is most appropriate? (Choose
One)
A. Use the property auditing landing page and its configuration options to track the property
changes and call the appropriate web service. Also, create an additional declare on-change rule to
check for the 10% change and start the review process
67

B. Use a declare on-change rule to track all of the properties and execute the web services. Also
utilize the process override functionality, in conjunction with a when rule to check for the 10%
change, to execute the review process
C. Use a declare trigger to check for changes to the properties and copy the previous values to
three additional properties. In the activity called by the trigger execute the web services and
determine, using a when rule, if the 10% change has occured, if so execute the review flow
D. Use a declare on-change rule to look for changes in the three properties and then execute the
appropriate web service. Use a separate trigger to track the change in loan amount and start the
review process flow if the change is more than 10%

In a Credit card dispute application PRPC connects to an external service to receive the
transactions made by the account holder. When the CSR (Customer Service Representative) is
working on the dispute they should see only the last twenty transactions made by the account
holder. If the transaction that the account holder wants to dispute does not appear in the list then
the CSR should perform a search by entering the date of transaction or the transaction amount or

68

the merchant name. The transaction list should display the 20 transactions that satisfies the
criteria. In any circumstance the CSR should not see more than 20 transactions in the screen and
cannot paginate through results. The external service returns transactions ordered by date of
transaction with the recent ones appearing first.
Given the above requirements, which of these approaches is most appropriate and would satisfy
both these requirements? (Choose One)
A. Execute the activity that makes a connector call to get the list of transactions from an external
service before the flow action is rendered. Write a data transform to copy the connector result to a
declare page. Create a repeating grid layout using the declare page as its source. Display the first
20 results of the declare page by using the pagination setting First X results
B. Execute the activity that makes a connector call to get the list of transactions from an external
service before the flow action is rendered so that all transactions are available on the clipboard.
When a search parameter (transaction date, amount and merchant name) is specified, use a data
transform to copy the appropriate subset of the transaction to a new page
C. Build a thread level declare page which uses an activity as its source. The activity will invoke
the connector activity and then copy only the first 20 pages to the declare page. Display the first
20 results of the declare page by using the pagination setting "First X" results
D. Build a thread level declare page that uses an activity to invoke the connector activity and then
copy only the first 20 pages to the pagelist property defined in the declare page; this property is
used as a source for the repeating grid. A when rule would be used to control when the results are
fresh based on the values of the search parameters (transaction date, amount and merchant
name)

Review the following requirement:
As part of a process you would like to display information, such as contact details and
organizational affiliation, about the operator that initiated the process. The information is strictly
read-only.
Given the above requirements which of the following approaches is most appropriate? (Choose
One)
A. Use a thread scope declarative page to load the operator
B. Create a page property with the auto populate option selected for the operator
C. Load the operator as a top-level page in a flow action pre-activity (and remove it later)

Consider the following situation:
A PRPC application is running within a 1.2 GB JVM (Java Virtual Machine). There is
approximately 350 MB of free memory and garbage collector reclaims in average 32 MB of
memory in the course of an hour.
The Rules Assembly count is 0 when a typical interaction executes in average 72.6 rules. The
application CPU peaks periodically at 22% but otherwise runs in average around 12%.
The application is generating approximatively 30 database alerts per minute. The database CPU
runs at an average of 75% peaking periodically at 96%. The alert log file does not report any byte
warning with a 10 MB threshold defined.
Users are complaining about poor performance. Their interactions take in average 4.5 seconds.
Which of the following approaches is most appropriate to resolve this issue? (Choose One)
A. Limit the number of database interactions by storing most data on a series of declare pages
B. Review the database table indexes and utilize query plan to consider changes
C. Reduce the number of loop iterations executing on the large sets of data
D. Expose all columns used by the application
E. Review the application profile log to determine which activities are taking the most time
Answer: B

Review the following requirement:
A PRPC-based stock trading application allows a pool of traders to initiate stocks sale on behalf of
70

customers. However, such an operation should only be allowed during the Stock Market Trading
Sessions.
The requirement for the application is to detect any operations occurring outside of the Trading
Sessions hours, to suspend it and alert a group of auditors to review it and decide whether to allow
it to go through during the next session or to simply reject it.
Which of the following approaches is the most appropriate for this requirement? (Choose One)
A. Tag any trade work item which pyCreateDateTime is not within the session hours and route the
work item into the "Pending" workbasket. Send out a RSS feed to the auditors indicating the work
item ID so they can create an ad-hoc work on that work item to review it, allow it or reject it
B. Setup the Auditors to be able to subscribe to business events. Configure a business event
definition to monitor outside trading sessions trades. And when the event occurs, have the
business event defintion notify the subscribers and call a review flow. Have the Auditors subscribe
to the event definition
C. Build a Case Match rule with condition(s) to identify outside trading sessions trades. In a case
match calling activity, loop through the retrieved cases and route them to a "Pending" workbasket.
Then call a flow rule with an assignment to an auditor to review the case and make the appropriate
decision
D. Build a when rule to identify a trade being initiated outside trading sessions, also build a
Declare OnChange rule to track such a trade and suspend it, as well as a flow to review the work
item and render a verdict on it

QUESTION NO: 149

Consider the following requirement:
Whether or not an operator is allowed to view accounts in a PRPC-based credit card application
depends on the grade of the employee and the credit limit of the account. The grade, which is an
attribute in the company's LDAP directory, is a numeric scale ranging from 1-10. The requirement
states that employees may open accounts that have a Credit Limit less than (10000 * (10/Grade)).
For example, Senior Vice Presidents (Grade = 1) can open accounts with less than a $100,000
limit, and entry-level employees (Grade = 10) can open accounts with less than a $10,000 limit.
Which of the following is the best approach to meet this requirement? (Choose One)
A. The operators reference an Access Group that references a Role, which is referenced by an

71

Access of Role to Object (ARO) rule. The "open instances" setting for the ARO references an
Access When rule that reads a MaxAmountToOpen property. This property is populated by
aDeclare Expression that uses the "EmployeeGrade" property, which is populated by an
Authentication Activity
B. The operators reference an Access Group that references a Role, which is referenced by an
Access of Role to Object (ARO) rule. The "open instances" setting for the ARO references an
Access When rule that reads a MaxAmountToOpen property. This property is calculated within the
Authentication Activity
C. The operators reference an Access Group that references a Role, which is referenced by an
Access of Role to Object (ARO) rule. The privilege, CanView, on the ARO references an Access
When rule that reads a MaxAmountToOpen property. This property is populated by a Declare
Expression that uses the "EmployeeGrade" property, which is populated by an Authentication
Activity
D. The operators reference a Work Group that references a Workbasket. The Workbasket
references a Role, which is referenced by an Access of Role to Object (ARO) rule. The "open
instances" setting for the ARO references an Access When rule that reads a MaxAmountToOpen
property. This property is populated by a Declare Expression that uses the "EmployeeGrade"
property, which is populated by an Authentication Activity
