The test consists of seven sections containing a total of approximately 56 multiple-choice questions. The percentages after each section title reflect the approximate distribution of the total question set across the sections.

Section 1 - Architecture (13%)

• Illustrate the relationships between IBM WebSphere Application Server, Network Deployment, V7.0 and the application components (e.g., browser, HTTP server, proxy server, plug-in, firewall, database servers, WebSphere MQ, load balancing, ip spraying, and Tivoli Performance Viewer.)
  
• Apply design considerations of IBM WebSphere Application Server, V7.0 when installing an enterprise environment (e.g., LDAP, database servers, WebSphere messaging, etc.)
  
• Relate the various components of the IBM WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment V7.0 runtime architecture.
  
• Illustrate workload management and failover strategies using IBM WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment V7.0.
  
• Describe WebSphere dynamic caching features.
  
• Compare the Network Deployment (ND) cell model with the flexible management model.
  

Section 2 - Installation/Configuration of WebSphere Application Server (9%)

• Identify installation options and determine the desired configuration (e.g., silent install, etc.)
  
• Install WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment V7.0 and verify the installation (e.g., Installation Verification Tool (IVT), default application (i.e., snoop and/or hitcount.))
  
• Create profiles.
  
• Troubleshoot the installation (e.g., identify and analyze log files.)
  
• Utilize installation factory and Centralized Installation Manager (CIM).
  

Section 3 - Application Assembly/Deployment and Cell Configuration/Resource Allocation (21%)

• Describe the name service management of WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment V7.0 (JNDI).
  
• Package Java enterprise applications, including enhanced ear files using the Rational Assembly and Deployment Tool.
  
• Define and map security roles (e.g., Java enterprise security).
  
• Configure application resources (e.g., JCA resource adapters, connection factories, resource scoping, MDB activation specification, JDBC providers, data sources)
  
• Configure WebSphere messaging (e.g., SIBus bus members and destinations).
  
• Automate deployment tasks with scripting.
  
• Manage the plug-in configuration file (e.g., regenerate, edit, propagate, etc.).
  
• Configure class loader parameters.
  

Section 4 - WebSphere Application Server Security (16%)

• Implement security policies (e.g., authentication and authorization (using different security registries), global security, etc.) $Protect WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment V7.0 resources (e.g., Java 2 security, Java EE security roles).
  
• Configure SIBus security.
  
• Define and implement administrative security roles.
  
• Configure SSL clients and servers.
  
• Implement federated repositories.
  
• Configure WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment V7.0 with multiple security domains.
  
• Configure auditing.
  

Section 5 - Workload Management, Scalability, High Availability Failover (14%)

• Federate nodes (including custom profiles).
  
• Create clusters and cluster members.
  
• Configure session management (memory-to-memory, database persistence).
  
• Create and configure Data Replication Service (DRS) replication domains.
  
• Manage Web servers in a managed and unmanaged node.
  
• Manage WebSphere messaging in a clustered environment.
  
• Configure workload management via the web server plug-in
  

Section 6 - Maintenance, Performance Monitoring and Tuning (14%)

• Manage application configurations (e.g., application bindings, HTTP session tuning, etc.).
  
• Perform WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment V7.0 backup, restore and configuration tasks.
  
• Tune performance of WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment V7.0 (e.g., JDBC data source, configure caching, queuing and thread pooling parameters, tune JVM heap size, etc.).
  
• Use Tivoli Performance Viewer (TPV) / Request Metrics to gather information about resources and analyze results.
  
• Develop and implement a maintenance application strategy using Update Installer and/or Centralized Installation Manager (CIM) (e.g., FixPacks, cumulative fixes and interim fixes.)
  

Section 7 - Problem Determination

• Configure, review and analyze logs (e.g., Web server, IBM WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment V7.0, first failure data capture (FFDC)).
  
• Use trace facility (e.g., enabling, selecting components, and log configuration).
  
• Analyze the content of the JNDI namespace using dumpNameSpace.
  
• Perform JVM troubleshooting tasks (e.g., thread dump, JVM core dump, and heap dump, verbose Garbage Collection (GC) ).
  
• Have insight to IBM Support Assistant.
