Broadcom AutoSys Support Technical Specialist (250-620) Certification Sample Questions

01. The statistics on the event server database are out of date, and its event and job-run history keeps growing. The administrator wants to confirm which built-in maintenance handles both problems.
What does AutoSys run for this?
a) DBMaint, which runs dbstatistics, archive_events and archive_jobs
b) The autobcp bulk-copy scripts that synchronize the two event servers
c) The LOGROLLOVER parameter in the instance configuration file
d) chk_auto_up, run after each scheduler restart

02. An upstream feed is suspected of being corrupt. Operations wants to stop the job LOAD_WAREHOUSE and every job that depends on it from starting while they investigate, without editing any job definition.
Which command meets this requirement?
a) sendevent -E JOB_ON_ICE -J LOAD_WAREHOUSE
b) sendevent -E JOB_ON_NOEXEC -J LOAD_WAREHOUSE
c) sendevent -E KILLJOB -J LOAD_WAREHOUSE
d) sendevent -E JOB_ON_HOLD -J LOAD_WAREHOUSE

03. Operators notice that event processing slows down at the same time every day, in the middle of the critical overnight batch window. The slowdown matches the scheduler's daily internal database maintenance.
What should the administrator change?
a) The DBMaintCmd parameter, pointing it at a different maintenance script
b) The DBMaintTime parameter, so maintenance runs outside the batch window
c) Dual event server mode, so maintenance runs against only one server
d) The HAPollInterval parameter, lengthened so the schedulers poll less often

04. Which proprietary protocol carries messages between the scheduler and the Workload Automation Agents?
a) Request Response Protocol (RRP)
b) Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
c) Automation Framework Message (AFM)
d) REST over HTTP

05. Several jobs that run on machine win-etl02 fail with the same error, while jobs on other machines run normally.
Which utility should you run to verify that the AutoSys server can communicate with the agent on win-etl02?
a) autoping
b) autostatus
c) forecast
d) chk_auto_up

06. Before a major maintenance window, an administrator wants a portable backup of every job definition that can later be restored by redirecting the file into jil.
Which command produces this backup?
a) jil -q
b) autorep -J ALL -q
c) autorep -J ALL -d
d) archive_jobs

07. A failure report on job GL_POST must include the job's current JIL definition, with its starting condition written in the long form, such as success(LOAD_GL), rather than the abbreviated s(LOAD_GL).
Which command produces this?
a) autorep -J GL_POST -q
b) autorep -J GL_POST -d
c) autorep -J GL_POST -q -w
d) autorep -J GL_POST -s

08. The job RPT_BUILD requires two units of the renewable resource DB_SLOTS, and all units are currently held by running jobs. An operator sends sendevent -E FORCE_STARTJOB -J RPT_BUILD.
What happens to RPT_BUILD?
a) It goes to RESWAIT until the resource units become available
b) It goes to QUE_WAIT until a queue slot is freed
c) It starts at once, because FORCE_STARTJOB overrides resource requirements
d) It goes to PEND_MACH until another job releases a unit

09. Jobs SYNC_A, SYNC_B and SYNC_C use an external system whose licence allows two concurrent sessions. At most two of them may run at once, and all three must run again every day.
What should be defined?
a) A depletable resource with two units, each job requesting one
b) A renewable resource with two units, each job requesting one
c) A threshold resource with two units, each job requesting one
d) A virtual machine that groups two real machines

10. A migration script loads definitions into a newly installed instance, where none of them exist yet. The first object it loads is the box FIN_MONTHEND_BOX.
Which subcommand must the script use for the box?
a) insert_machine: FIN_MONTHEND_BOX
b) update_job: FIN_MONTHEND_BOX
c) override_job: FIN_MONTHEND_BOX
d) insert_job: FIN_MONTHEND_BOX
