• Question 52:

  Which three tasks are typically performed by an environment owner who uses IBM UrbanCode Deploy to establish a deployment pipeline? (Select three.)

  A. Performs tests on applications in this environment
  B. Installs agents on the resources in environment
  C. Previews changes in environment
  D. Rolls back changes to environment
  E. Captures inventory compliance status
  B. Installs agents on the resources in environment
  C. Previews changes in environment
  D. Rolls back changes to environment

  ---

  C: You can preview an application snapshot before you deploy it to see the upcoming changes in resources and properties.

  D: Rollback Component rolls back a component version to the version in a snapshot or to the version that was deployed when the process began. In most cases, to switch to a different version of a component, you deploy the new version over the existing version. If necessary, you can run the uninstallation process for the component first.

• Question 53:

  What do you use to define a logical grouping of deployable that function as a single unit and contain definitions of automations and target environments?

  A. Component template
  B. Resource
  C. Application
  D. Resource template
  B. Resource

  ---

  Component-type resources represent the components that are deployed to target environments. A resource is a logical deployment target that typically resolves to an agent and a user-defined construct that is based on the architectural model

  of IBM UrbanCode Deploy.

  If a resource is part of a hierarchy, it delegates its automation, if any, up the chain until it finds an agent.

  In IBM UrbanCode Deploy, deployable items are combined into logical groupings called components.

  Incorrect Answers:

  D: A resource template is a model for a group of resources. The template contains a hierarchy of resources, groups, and agent prototypes that is a starting point for creating new resources.

• Question 54:

  Which two statements are true about how IBM UrbanCode Deploy (UCD) organize deployment artifacts? (Select two.)

  A. Deployment artifacts are typically produced by an automated build and then imported into UCD as a version.
  B. Deployment artifacts are stored in an external system (version control, CMDB, inventory, etc.) and UCD can only download the artifacts to the target server as part of a deployment process.
  C. Deployment artifacts must be uploaded to Rational Asset Manager, so they can be used on a deployment process.
  D. Each component contains at least one deployment package that contains all the deployment artifacts for that application.
  E. A component contains in the artifact set (versions) and the automation to deploy it.
  B. Deployment artifacts are stored in an external system (version control, CMDB, inventory, etc.) and UCD can only download the artifacts to the target server as part of a deployment process.
  E. A component contains in the artifact set (versions) and the automation to deploy it.

  ---

  B: Deployable items, or artifacts, can be files, images, databases, configuration materials, or anything else that is associated with a software project. Artifacts can come from a number of sources: file systems, build servers such as IBM Anthill Pro, and many others.

  E: When you create a component, you identify the source and define how the artifacts are brought into IBM UrbanCode Deploy.

• Question 55:

  You have multiple application environments sharing the same resource. What will you see in the inventory of this resource?

  A. Only the versions of components deployed from one application
  B. All versions of all components deployed from the sharing applications
  C. Last versions of all components deployed from the sharing applications
  D. Only the last version of the component deployed from the application that was used last
  B. All versions of all components deployed from the sharing applications

  ---

  The intention is that you could look at the resource tree on the environment detail page to see all versions currently deployed to resources in that environment.

• Question 56:

  When a snapshot has versions that are marked incremental or full, what will a deployment process do when it deploys using the snapshot?

  A. Deploy the latest component version
  B. Deploy the first component version
  C. Deploy all versions in sequence from first to latest
  D. Deploy all versions in sequence from latest to first
  C. Deploy all versions in sequence from first to latest

  ---

  All version will be deployed, see step 4 below, and the latest version will be deployed last.

  After you create a snapshot, you can deploy the snapshot to an environment. Procedure

  1.

  From the IBM UrbanCode Deploy dashboard, click Applications, and then select an application.

  2.

  On the application page, click Snapshots, and then select a snapshot. The environments that are defined for the application are listed at the bottom of the Dashboard page.

  3.

  For the environment where you plan to deploy the snapshot, click the Request Process icon.

  4.

  To deploy component versions whether or not they are already deployed, clear the Only Changed Version check box. By default, the Only Changed Version check box is selected so that only changed versions of components are deployed.

  5.

  Select the deployment process to run from the Process list.

  6.

  To run the process in the future, select the Schedule Deployment check box. If you select the Schedule Deployment check box, more fields become available so that you can specify the date and time to run the process, and configure the process to run on a recurring basis.

  7.

  Click Submit. Unless you scheduled the process to run in the future, the application process starts and deploys the snapshot.

  Note: A snapshot is a collection of specific versions of components and processes. Typically, a snapshot represents a set of component versions that are known to work together.

• Question 57:

  What is the IBM definition of "DevOps"?

  A. A methodology for software development that divides tasks into short phases or work and frequent reassessment and adaptation of plans with an emphasis on team collaboration
  B. AN enterprise capability for continuous software delivery that enables organizations to seize market opportunities, respond more rapidly to customer feedback, and balance speed, cost, quality and risk
  C. A system for increasing development efficiencies by transitioning core lean manufacturing principles over to software development practices in order to eliminate waste and amplify learning.
  D. An approach for continuous improvement in software and systems delivery, which allows IBM customers to achieve greater value from their investment in software and systems technologies
  B. AN enterprise capability for continuous software delivery that enables organizations to seize market opportunities, respond more rapidly to customer feedback, and balance speed, cost, quality and risk

  ---

  DevOps is an approach that promotes closer collaboration between lines of business, development and IT operations. It is an enterprise capability that enables the continuous delivery, continuous deployment and continuous monitoring of applications. It reduces the time needed to address customer feedback. Development, testing, operations and lines of business were often siloed in the past. DevOps brings them together to improve agility.

• Question 58:

  The approval process is executed when approved by which user type?

  A. The user type currently configured to execute the process
  B. The administrator user type
  C. The user type configured for approval in the approval process being executed
  D. The user type of the user created both the application processes and the component processes
  C. The user type configured for approval in the approval process being executed

  ---

  Deployment approvals are created in a process that specifies the job that needs approval and the role of the approver. When a request for approval is made, the users with the corresponding role are notified of the work item through email.

  The approver has the liberty to approve or reject a deployment as well as provide comments to the decision.

• Question 59:

  What are three main characteristics of an agent? (Select three.)

  A. Runs plugin steps (scripts to perform various actions)
  B. Is installed on UrbanCode server to allow communication with agent relays
  C. Runs automation tasks defined by an Ant script
  D. Represents the IBM UrbanCode Deploy agent software running on a server
  E. Is installed on each server on which commands must be executed
  B. Is installed on UrbanCode server to allow communication with agent relays
  C. Runs automation tasks defined by an Ant script
  D. Represents the IBM UrbanCode Deploy agent software running on a server

  ---

  C, not A: Apache Ant is a command line tool that is used to automate the build and deployment of applications. This plug-in calls the Ant executable to run one or more targets defined in a specified Ant script file, and is very useful for quickly integrating legacy automation into your UrbanCode Deploy Processes. IBM UrbanCode Deploy agents include a distribution of Ant, which is used by default, but other versions can be used by providing the path to the Ant installation directory in your Process Step. B, not E: Will the agent connect to an agent relay instead of directly to the server? The default value is N. If you specify Y, you are prompted to configure the following parameters: hostname or address of the agent relay the agent will connect to agent communication port for the agent relay HTTP proxy port for the agent relay
