    « on: March 12, 2009, 03:16:45 PM »

    These are some of the sample interview questions on EMS..

    1. What are the different types of acknowledgement modes in EMS


    message delivery

    • Auto
    • Client
    • Dups_ok
    • No_ack
    • Explciit
    • Explicit_client_dups_ok
    • Transitional
    • Local transitional.

    2. What are the different types of messages that can be used in EMS
    • Text
    • Simple
    • Bytes
    • Map
    • XML test
    • Object
    • Object ref
    • Stream

    3. Tell me about bridges. Why do we use them, Syntax to create bridges,


    use of message selector

    Some applications require the same message to be sent to more than one
    destination possibly of different types. So we use bridges.♣

    4. What is the purpose for stores.conf

    a. This file defines the locations either store files or a database, where the
    EMS server will store messages or metadata.
    b. Each store configured is either a file-based or a database store.

    5. How many modes are the messages written to store file.


    2 modes.. sync or async. When absent , the default is async
    6. What is tibemsd.conf

    It is the main configuration file that controls the characteristics of the EMS
    server

    7. How many delivery modes for messages?

    Persistent, Non-persistent, Reliable-delivery.

    8. What is the maximum messagesize?

    Ems supports max message size of 512 mb

    9. Name 3 destination properties and explain them.

    Global, secure, maxmsgs, maxbytes, flowcontrol, sender_name,


    sender_name_enforced, trace,maxRedelivery

    10. What are the different modes of installation in Ems?

    a. GUI mode
    b. Console mode
    c. Silent mode

    11. What are the messaging models supported by JMS


    a. Point-to-point
    b. Publish-subscribe
    c. Multicast

    12. Tell me about routes

    What is the purpose of routes, what kind of destinations can be used in


    routes? Topics and queues m-hops

    13. What happens if the message expires/exceeded the value specified by


    maxredelivery property on queue?

    If the jms_preserve_undelivered property is set to true, then it moves he


    message to undelivered message queue, if set to false, the message is
    deleted by the server.
    14. In how many ways can a destination be created?

    a. Static-created by user
    b. Dynamic-created by ems server on the fly.
    c. Temporary destinations.

    15. What are the wild cards that we use in ems?how do they work for
    queues and topics
    *,>
    U can subscribe to wildcard topics but cant publish to them. Where as in
    case of queues we can’t either send /receive.

    16. Are bridges transitive?


    NO

    17. Tell me about flow control on destinations

    Some times the producer may send messages faster than the consumers
    can receive them. So, the message capacity on the server will be exhausted.
    So we use flow control. Flow control can be specified on destinations.

    18. Tell me about flow control on bridges and routes

    Flow control has to be specified on both sides of bridges where as on


    routes it operates differently on sender side and receiver side.

    19. Name 3 configuration files and tell me what it consists of

    a. Queues.conf
    b. Topics.conf
    c. Routes.conf
    d. Factories.conf
    e. Stores.conf
    f. Groups.conf,users.conf,transports.conf

    20. Name some administrative level destination properties

    a. View
    b. Create
    c. Delete
    d. Modify
    e. Purge

    21. How can you change the configuration properties of EMS server

    You can change in the tibemsd.conf file or you can change using the ems
    admin console.

    22. What are the permissions that you can grant to users to access queues

    a. Receive
    b. Send
    c. Browse

    23. What are the permissions that you can grant to users to access topics

    a. Subscribe
    b. Publish
    c. Durable
    d. Use_durable

    24. Tell me about multicasting in EMS

    a. Multicast is a messaging model that broadcasts messages to many


    consumers at once rather than sending messages individually to each
    consumer. EMS uses Pragmatic general multicast to broadcast messages
    published to multicast enabled topics.
    b. Each multicast enabled topic is associated with a channel.

    25. What are the advantages and disadvantages of multicasting..

    a. Advantages: as the message broadcasts only once thereby reducing the


    amount of bandwidth used in publish and subscribe model. Reduces the
    network traffic.
    b. Disadvantages: Offers only last-hop delivery. So can’t be used to send
    messages between servers.

    26. On what destinations can you use multicast?

    a. Topics
    27. Suppose, you got an error while accessing a queue, that you don’t have
    necessary permissions to access the queue. What might be the
    solution/reason?

    a. The user that is assigned to the queue and the user used while creating

    28. How does the secondary server know that the primary server is failed?

    a. Based on heartbeat intervals

    29. What is JMS queue requestor?

    a. The JMS Queue Requestor activity is used to send a request to a JMS


    queue name and receive a response back from the JMS client

    30. What is JMS topic requestor?

    a. The JMS Topic Requestor activity is used to communicate with a JMS


    application’s request-response service. This service invokes an operation
    with input and output. The request is sent to a JMS topic and the JMS
    application returns the response to the request.

    31. How do you add ems server to administrator?

    a. Using domain utility

    32. How do you remove individual messages from destinations?

    a. Using purge command.
