Broadcom Clarity Support Technical Specialist (250-616) Certification Sample Questions

01. A contractor joined a retail chain's store-fit project team last week. A full Rate Matrix Extraction then completed before last night's Post Timesheets run. Every resource on the project now shows actual cost on their task assignments except the contractor, whose posted hours carry no cost.
What should support check first?
a) Whether Time Slicing has since regenerated the actuals slice for the project
b) Whether Prepare Rate Matrix Data ran without Update Rate Matrix Data
c) Whether the rate matrix has a row matching the contractor
d) Whether the time reporting period has been closed

02. An insurer wants its Classic PPM access groups to appear as roles in Jaspersoft, so an administrator schedules the Synchronize Jaspersoft Roles job. The job completes, yet the expected roles never reach the group members.
Which two prerequisites should the administrator confirm?
(Select two.)
a) The Create and Update Jaspersoft Users job ran first, so the users already exist
b) Each access group ID differs from the name of the Jaspersoft role it maps to
c) The Load Data Warehouse job ran first, so the warehouse data is current
d) Allow Jaspersoft Role Synchronization is selected in System Options

03. On SQL Server, the security team revoked the privileges used to create the data warehouse's linked server once the first load had succeeded, and nightly loads carried on working. Months later the warehouse database was moved, and an administrator saved the CSA Data Warehouse tab so that a new link would be created. Load Data Warehouse now returns errors.
What is the most likely cause?
a) Revoking those privileges cut off the original link at once
b) The new link needs the privileges that were revoked
c) Saving the Data Warehouse tab does not create a link
d) Time Slicing has not run since the move

04. Finance at an engineering consultancy maintains a cost/rate matrix on its entity. One client project also has its own matrix at the investment level. New transactions on that project are costed from the project's matrix, although the finance lead expected the entity rates.
Why are the project's rates being applied?
a) Matrices are matched at investment level first, then entity, then system
b) The entity matrix is locked while a colleague has it open for editing
c) Rate Matrix Extraction has not yet picked up the entity matrix
d) Post to WIP applies entity rates only once the transactions reach WIP

05. After a database refresh at a telecom provider, jobs of many types sit in Waiting, Scheduled and Processing and never change. The engineer is following the recommended recovery sequence and has already paused the Waiting and Scheduled jobs.
Which two steps belong in the rest of that sequence?
(Select two.)
a) Resume the Cancelled jobs at the end, together with the paused ones
b) Note the settings of Cancelled jobs, delete them and re-enter them afterward
c) Run Clean User Sessions immediately to show whether the scheduler works
d) Restart the app service before going on

06. Before an upgrade, the administrator paused the scheduled jobs, as the runbook required. Since the upgrade, no recurring job has started at its scheduled time, yet a job submitted to run immediately completes normally.
Which post-upgrade step was missed?
a) Resuming the paused scheduled jobs
b) Restarting bg with service stop start bg
c) Running Validate Process Definitions on the jobs
d) Recompiling database objects with admin db compile

07. A manufacturer runs the Load Data Warehouse job each night. One morning a project manager reports that the latest changes to a single project are missing from the warehouse, although every other project loaded. The project was edited while the job was running, and at that time it was also locked because it was checked out in a desktop scheduler.
What best explains the missing changes?
a) The job skips locked projects, so the lock kept this project out of the load
b) A record modified while the job is running is not loaded until the job runs again
c) Time Slicing did not run first, so the project's sliced data could not be loaded
d) Incremental mode never picks up such changes, so only a Full Load can recover them

08. A team is preparing servers for a Clarity installation on Microsoft SQL Server and is matching each Clarity service to the runtime it needs.
Which two services need Apache Tomcat?
(Select two.)
a) The app (application) service
b) The bg (background) service
c) The nsa (system administration) service
d) The beacon service

09. An event agency's scheduler tries to create a Finish-Start dependency from the summary task "Venue logistics" to the detail task "Print programs", and Clarity will not create it.
Why is the dependency refused?
a) Finish-Start is reserved for links between milestones
b) Only a Start-Start link may begin at a summary task
c) Detail task dates are driven by their summary task
d) Summary tasks cannot be linked by any dependency

10. On a single-server installation, scheduled jobs keep completing, but no process instance has advanced since this morning. bg-ca.log reports that the process engine thread monitor is not alive, and the Process Engines page shows Cannot Determine Status.
What should support do?
a) Restart the bg service that runs the process engine
b) Revalidate and reactivate the process definitions
c) Run Delete Process Instance to clear the backlog held by the engine
d) Restart the beacon service so the engine can sync with the cluster
