a) Jobs are independent but compete for a limited shared capacity
b) Job B must run only after Job A succeeds
c) A job must run only on business days
d) A job must run only on business days

02. Operations wants to stop a downstream workflow from starting while they investigate an upstream issue, but they do not want to edit job definitions. What is the best approach?

d) Rebuild the scheduler to clear the job queue

03. An engineer needs to add a new job definition using JIL. Which JIL subcommand is used to create a job?
a) show_job
b) delete_job
c) update_job
d) insert_job

04. Your workflow requires limiting concurrent execution because two jobs share a license-limited external system. Which core object best enforces this constraint?
a) Connection Profile
b) Calendar

b) Machine/agent health and connectivity for that host
c) Web UI theme settings
d) User password complexity requirements

06. Why is backing up job definitions prior to major maintenance a best practice?
a) It prevents access control errors
b) It eliminates the need for monitoring
c) It enables restoration of scheduling logic if objects are corrupted or mistakenly changed
d) It automatically fixes job failure

07. A database used by the event server is experiencing performance issues. Which maintenance activity is most appropriate to consider first?
a) Database maintenance and optimization aligned to vendor guidance
b) Disabling the scheduler to reduce database usage permanently
c) Removing all job dependencies to reduce writes
d) Turning off alarms so the database does less work

08. What is the most defensible reason to use a change window for upgrades or configuration changes?

b) It reduces business impact and supports controlled rollback if issues appear
c) It guarantees that no job will ever fail
d) It prevents users from accessing Web UI

09. In an AutoSys environment, which pairing represents the most accurate “central control + execution” relationship?

b) Web UI executes jobs; agents only store logs
c) Scheduler coordinates execution; agents execute jobs on target machines
d) REST Web Server runs jobs directly without scheduler involvement

10. You must provide a concise failure analysis to leadership. Which information is most useful and credible?
a) The total number of calendars in the system
b) A list of all AutoSys commands available
c) A screenshot of the Web UI login page
d) Error signature, impacted jobs, suspected root cause, and next actions with evidence from logs/history
