IBM Operational Decision Manager Standard V8.7 — Question 5

A developer plans to create two new message flows. Flow1 that uses TimeoutControl and TimeoutNotification nodes in Controlled mode, and Flow2 that uses only the TimeoutNotification node in Automatic mode.
The Integration Node is installed on a system without IBM MQ installed. What problems will the developer encounter?

Answer options

• A. Flow1 will not deploy successfully. Flow2 will not deploy successfully.
• B. Flow1 will not deploy successfully. Flow2 will deploy and execute successfully.
• C. Flow1 will not deploy successfully. Flow2 will deploy successfully but will produce an error when execution is attempted.
• D. Flow1 will deploy successfully but produce an error when execution is attempted. Flow2 will deploy and execute successfully.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Flow1 requires both TimeoutControl and TimeoutNotification nodes in Controlled mode, which cannot be deployed without IBM MQ, leading to its failure. Flow2 only uses TimeoutNotification in Automatic mode, which does not depend on IBM MQ, allowing it to deploy and execute successfully.
