  Server Port: The port that is used by the IBM UrbanCode Deploy server or agent relay to connect to the agent. The default port for connecting to the server is 7918. The default port for connecting to an agent relay is 7916. Note: There is also a Proxy Port, which is the HTTP proxy port of the agent relay, if used. The default value is 20080.

  IBM UrbanCode Deploy helps you accelerate your time to market, drive down deployment costs, reduce risks and achieve continuous delivery. References: http://www-03.ibm.com/software/products/en/ucdep

• Question 34:

  How do you orchestrate deployments to target environments?

  A. You use multiple component deployment processes, one for each environment. An application process defines which component process should be executed for a specific environment.
  B. You use a switch steps on each deployment process. The switch defines what resource should be used in a determined environment.
  C. You define an application. The application maps resources to environments. The same component process can be executed on all environments.
  D. You create a selector on the deployment process. The selector chooses the correct resources and agents, based on the environment.
  C. You define an application. The application maps resources to environments. The same component process can be executed on all environments.

  ---

  Specify where components are deployed by adding a resource or resource group to the environment. Then, map the components to those resources.

  Note:

  Resources and resource groups identify the agents that do the work of deploying components, and provide other configuration information. You must identify the resources for the environment and then specify which components run on which

  resources.

• Question 35:

  What is an agent?

  A. An agent is a logical user-defined construct that represents a target for deployments.
  B. An agent can be either a logical or physical representation of a deployed application.
  C. An agent is a pre-defined construct that represents a server targeted for deployments.
  D. An agent is a lightweight process that runs on the target host and communicates with the IBM UrbanCode Deploy server.
  D. An agent is a lightweight process that runs on the target host and communicates with the IBM UrbanCode Deploy server.

  An agent is a lightweight process that runs on a deployment-target host and communicates with the IBM UrbanCode Deploy server. References: http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SS4GSP_6.2.0/com.ibm.udeploy.doc/topics/resources_agents.html

• Question 36:

  A security type is a product area that can have permissions defined for it. Each security type has a set of permissions that affect how users interact with it. How many security types are available in IBM UrbanCode Deploy?

  A. 13
  B. 10
  C. 3
  D. 5
  D. 5

  ---

  A security type is a product area that has permissions defined for it. There are several security types predefined. They are system, application, release, deployment, status, and initiatives and changes.

  Other than the Status security type, permissions are predefined.

• Question 37:

  What happens when a new version of a plugin is loaded which adds new properties to a process' steps?

  A. Nothing happens because the process continues to use the older versions of the process steps (the step code is embedded in the process definition).
  B. The user must repair the process by using each modified step's properties editor to define the new properties.
  C. The user may define values for new properties when the process is invoked.
  D. IBM UrbanCode Deploy provides a message that the previously-defined process is obsolete and needs to be repaired.
  A. Nothing happens because the process continues to use the older versions of the process steps (the step code is embedded in the process definition).

  ---

  Note: A process step has access to properties set earlier by other steps within the process, to properties set by the application that started the component process, and to properties on the target environment and resource. Step property values become unavailable after the component process ends.

• Question 38:

  Which three must be installed to have a working installation of IBM UrbanCode Deploy? (Select three.)

  A. Urbancode agent monitor
  B. Urbancode Deploy agent
  C. Database

• Question 40:

  A development team wants to capture all the versions of the components that were deployed in the QA environment and the want to deploy them on the Production environment. What is the best approach for doing this in IBM UrbanCode Deploy?

  A. They should create a tag to identify which revisions were deployed in the QA, and when executing the deployment to Production they should select all the versions that have the defines tag.
  B. They should create an application baseline that includes all the component versions deployed on the QA.
  C. They should compare the QA environment with the Production environment, and from the differences create a delta deployment that should be applied to Production.
  D. They should create a snapshot of the QA environment and deploy this snapshot to Production.
  A. They should create a tag to identify which revisions were deployed in the QA, and when executing the deployment to Production they should select all the versions that have the defines tag.

  Using Tagging to Implement Blue/Green Deployments

  Many clients using IBM UrbanCode Deploy are interested in implementing Blue/Green deployments. A Blue/Green deployment is a term that refers to a method of deploying the same Components to multiple servers or server clusters in a way that eliminates the need to bring them all offline at the same time. Whether the goal is to maintain availability to a service or application during an upgrade or your internal system requires constant server uptime, simply taking all resources offline simultaneously just isn't an option.
