    2. B.Docker Swarm cluster alone
    3. C.Amazon EKS cluster alone
    4. D.Cloud Foundry instance alone

  2. 2In Maximo Application Suite 8.9, where should an administrator set LDAP synchronization options that are not exposed in the suite user interface?

    1. A.The ManageApp custom resource
    2. B.The ScimCfg custom resourceCorrect answer: B
    3. C.The ManageWorkspace custom resource
    4. D.The Suite custom resource

    Explanation: IBM states: "Starting in Maximo Application Suite 8.9, you can change some configurations in the ScimCfg Custom Resource as the configurations are not available in the Maximo Application Suite user interface." Those settings belong in ScimCfg.

    Reference: IBM Maximo Application Suite — LDAP user registry synchronization, Customizations in ScimCfg Custom Resource

  3. 3Which Maximo Manage application extends the database schema with a new business object and its attributes?

    1. A.Application Designer
    2. B.Database ConfigurationCorrect answer: B
    3. C.Object Structures
    4. D.Migration Manager

    Explanation: IBM instructs administrators to "Use the Database Configuration application to extend the database schema to include the new business object and its object attributes, attribute types, and attribute constraints." This is the schema configuration tool.

    Reference: IBM Maximo Application Suite — Maximo Manage extensibility, step 1

  4. 4An administrator is considering IBM's legacy OSACTION.MXAPIINSPRESULT.CREATEWO action when setting up inspections. For which environment does IBM say that script is intended?

    1. A.Demo and test environments onlyCorrect answer: A
    2. B.Production environments only
    3. C.Production and test environments
    4. D.Production and demo environments

    Explanation: IBM states that the script "is intended for demo and test usage only. It cannot be used in a production environment." The restriction concerns this legacy action script.

    Reference: Automation script OSACTION.MXAPIINSPRESULT.CREATEWO will be deprecated in IBM Maximo Mobile 8.11 — Abstract, script use restrictions

  5. 5How can multiple organizations select from a common catalog of items in Maximo?

    1. A.Associate the organizations with a common item set.Correct answer: A
    2. B.Give each organization a different item set.
    3. C.Associate the organizations with a common company set.
    4. D.Associate the sites with a common company set.

    Explanation: IBM states: "Items sets let multiple organizations within a company view and choose from a common set of items." A shared item set provides the common item catalog.

  6. 6If the Maximo root logger is set to DEBUG, what happens to a descendant logger with no explicit level of its own?

    1. A.It inherits DEBUG from the root logger.Correct answer: A
    2. B.It automatically switches to ERROR.
    3. C.It becomes inactive until the server restarts.
    4. D.It inherits INFO regardless of the root level.

    Explanation: IBM states: "descendent of it will be set to DEBUG, unless it is specifically set to something else." A descendant without an explicit level inherits the root setting.

    Reference: Logging Dos and Don'ts — Body, root logger

  7. 7Which set contains the three data formats IBM identifies for integration framework REST API import and export?

    1. A.JSON, XML, and CSVCorrect answer: A
    2. B.JSON, XML, and YAML
    3. C.JSON, CSV, and YAML
    4. D.XML, CSV, and YAML

    Explanation: IBM states: "use REST APIs to import and export data in JSON, XML, or CSV". This identifies the three formats requested; it does not assert a general prohibition of other formats.

    Reference: IBM Maximo Integrating Data With External Applications — Chapter 1, Integration framework overview

  8. 8What role does Kubernetes serve in the Red Hat OpenShift deployment model used by Maximo Application Suite?

    1. A.Providing container image storage
    2. B.Providing container orchestrationCorrect answer: B
    3. C.Providing database transaction logging
    4. D.Providing directory authentication

    Explanation: IBM explains that OpenShift "is a platform-as-a-service system that is built around containers and uses container orchestration that is provided by Kubernetes." This identifies the orchestration role.

  9. 9For LDAP synchronization in Maximo Application Suite 8.9, which ScimCfg property controls the maximum number of entries returned in a search?

    1. A.ldapType
    2. B.customLdapRegistryExtensions
    3. C.customMaxSearchResultsCorrect answer: C
    4. D.bindDN

    Explanation: IBM says: "Use the customMaxSearchResults to configure the maximum number of entries that can be returned in a search." This property addresses the stated limit.

  10. 10An administrator configures electronic signature for changes to a Maximo attribute. What information is the user prompted to provide when making a change under that configuration?

    1. A.A password and a reasonCorrect answer: A
    2. B.A password without a reason
    3. C.A reason without a password
    4. D.Neither a password nor a reason

    Explanation: IBM describes the configured behavior: "when a user makes a change they will be asked for their password and reason for the change being made." This is the e-signature prompt.
