29 QUESTION 94 Altering the DSSIZE is allowed for what type of table space? A. XML table space. B. Universal table space. C. Segmented table space. D. DSSIZE cannot be altered. QUESTION 95 When these two commands are issued in sequence, one after the other: STOP FUNCTION SPECIFIC(A.B) ACTION(REJECT) STOP FUNCTION SPECIFIC(A.B) ACTION(QUEUE) What will occur? A. Function A.B is stopped and queues all access. B. Function A.B is stopped and rejects all access. C. Function A.B is stopped and rejects all access until we start the function or run out of installation timeout. D. Function A.B is stopped and queues all access until we start the function or run out of installation timeout. QUESTION 96 What is the purpose of the following query? SELECT DBNAME, NAME FROM SYSIBM.SYSTABLESPACE TS WHERE NOT EXISTS (SELECT TP.DBNAME, TP.TSNAME FROM SYSIBM.SYSTABLEPART TP WHERE TP.DBNAME = TS.DBNAME AND TP.TSNAME = TS.NAME); A. It displays the number of inconsistent rows in SYSIBM.SYSTABLESPACE. B. It identifies which tables do not have related rows in SYSIBM.SYSTABLEPART. C. It identifies which table spaces have missing related rows in SYSIBM.SYSTABLEPART. D. It displays which rows in SYSIBM.SYSTABLEPART do not have a matching table name in SYSIBM.SYSTABLESPACE.

30 QUESTION 97 Your current backup strategy is to run COPY SHRLEVEL CHANGE for all your table spaces each night. You create FULL image copies once a week and INCREMENTAL copies during the rest of the days. After migrating to DB2 10, you plan to create the FULL image copies using FLASHCOPY YES and COPYDDN, that is you create a flash copy image copy (FCIC) and additionally a sequential copy. What happens to the incremental copies that you continue to create on all other days? A. If DSNZPARM FLASHCOPY_COPY is set to YES, the incremental copies will automatically be incremental FLASHCOPY copies. B. Nothing special. The only difference is that the FULL copy, which is the basis for the subsequent incremental copies has now been generatedfrom the FCIC. C. The COPY utilities with FULL NO option will not run. If there are entries in SYSIBM.SYSCOPY that indicate that FCICs exist for a give page set,incremental copies cannot be taken anymore. D. The first image copy utility execution after the FULL FCIC and sequential copy created from the FCIC will end up as FULL copy although youspecify the FULL NO statement on the COPY utility control statement. QUESTION 98 What is the appropriate action to maintain data consistency if your page set is in REFP restrictive state? A. Recover the table space to current. B. Run the REORG utility with SHRLEVEL NONE. C. Run a Point In Time RECOVER or the LOAD REPLACE utility. D. Issue command -START DB(yourdb) SP(yourtbspace) ACCESS(FORCE). QUESTION 99 Unnecessary REORGs of indexes may be avoided by which of the following? A. Use the SYSIBM.SYSINDEXSPACESTATS table. B. Use the REPORT utility to determine the degree of organization. C. Use the CHANGELIMIT keyword when creating an image copy of the index. D. Use the CHECK INDEX utility to find out if the index needs to be reorganized. QUESTION 100 Which of the following utilities is NOT relevant for health checking the DB2 V10 catalog or directory in new function mode?

31 A. CHECK LOB B. CHECK INDEX C. DSN1COPY D. DSN1CHKR QUESTION 101 The -DIS UTIL(REORGON) command was entered for a REORG utility with SHRLEVEL CHANGE with utilid REORGON. Which statement is NOT true? A. It shows how many keys are rejected when issued during the SORTBLD phase. B. It shows the elapsed time of the SWITCH phase when issued during the SWITCH phase. C. It indicates how many parallel tasks are involved to build indexes when issued during the BUILD phase. D. It shows an actual and estimated time of how far it has proceeded in the current iterations when issued during the LOG phase. QUESTION 102 Using the -SET LOG command, what logging characteristics CANNOT be modified? A. The number of minutes between the start of successive checkpoints. B. Add a newly defined active log data set to the active log inventory. C. Altering DB2 from dual active logging mode to single active logging mode. D. The number of log records that DB2 writes between the start of successive checkpoints. QUESTION 103 What kind of information is stored in SYSIBM.SYSCOPY? A. General information needed for recovery. B. Only information about existing image copies. C. Information about currently running and stopped copy jobs. D. Only information about objects which are currently in copy pending.

32 QUESTION 104 What is one of the first key steps in preparing to use the BACKUP SYSTEM utility? A. Run the MODIFY RECOVERY utility. B. Alter the BSDS to allow BACKUP SYSTEM. C. Define one or more storage groups to a COPYPOOL. D. Stop DB2 to enable DFSMShsm functionality to be used. QUESTION 105 An object (table space, index space or a physical partition of a table space or index space) is in AREST or RESTP status. If backout activity is not already underway, what should occur? A. Issue a RECOVER POSTPONED command. B. Issue a START command with ACCESS(RW). C. Recycle the system with the system parameter LBACKOUT=NO. D. Issue a STOP command and then a START command with ACCESS(RW). QUESTION 106 Which two parameters would reduce the impact of availability from a REORG with SHRLEVEL CHANGE for a partitioned table space with 16 parts? (Choose two.) A. LOG NO B. SORTKEYS 16 C. FASTSWITCH YES D. AUTOESTSPACE YES E. DRAIN_WAIT & RETRY E QUESTION 107 The application will be handling a large volume of input data that will need to be added to or update 4 different tables. On average, there will be 50 million input records daily. To ensure that the application process to SQL

33 INSERT and SQL UPDATE(or SQL MERGE) delivers a high level of availability to the tables involved in this application process, what is a key component of the application coding? A. Issue a LOCK TABLE for all 4 tables. B. Execute the SQL INSERT before the SQL UPDATE. C. Provide an effective commit / restart process. D. Run a QUIESCE utility before the process starts. QUESTION 108 Which option allows the UNLOAD utility to unload LOBs into output files together with non-lob data? A. DELIMITED B. SPANNED YES C. DSNTYPE HFS on the TEMPLATE D. DSNTYPE LIBRARY or PDS on the TEMPLATE
