1. A client application is subscribing to as many as five different topics (no wildcards are possible). Given that the number of client applications may vary and subscriptions are not durable, what is the best option for creating a subscription?

A) Create a temporary dynamic queue and use MQSUB with the list of topic names separated bycommas and stored in the ObjectString field of the MQSD structure.
B) Use MQSUB with the MQSO_MANAGED option for the first topic and subsequent calls withMQSO_ALTER for other topics.
C) Use MQSUB with the MQSO_MANAGED option and the list of topic names separated bycommas and stored in the ObjectString field of the MQSD structure.
D) Create a temporary dynamic queue and call MQSUB for each topic.

2. A publish/subscribe application is being designed. The requirements are that the published information should not be lost or expire.

A) The best option is to accept the default setting for default binding on each queue manager, asit should have been given the optimal setting by its WebSphere MQ administrator.
B) Allow the local WebSphere MQ administrators to define default binding as they think best foreach instance of the queue.
C) The solution designer should consult with the development team and local WebSphere MQadministrator to determine how best to configure default binding of each queue manager.
D) Require the WebSphere MQ administrators to set default binding to the same value for allinstances of the queue in the cluster.

5. While trying to get messages from its input queue a program is receiving notification that no messages are available. However, the queue depth indicates that there are messages on the queue. Which of the following are possible explanations for this?

A) The program is failing to specify a MsgId or CorrelId, so no messages are being are beingreturned when it issues an MQGET.
