01. Supplier invoices arrive as scanned documents. The design captures them, keeps the images so that a later audit can retrieve them, routes each invoice for approval, and tests each one against the payment policy.
In which order do the artifacts and the data move between the capabilities?
a) Capture and classify the invoice → Store the image in the content repository → Start the approval process from the extracted data → Call the decision service for the payment determination → Record the determination against the stored invoice
b) Capture and classify the invoice → Start the approval process from the extracted data → Call the decision service for the payment determination → Store the image in the content repository → Record the determination against the stored invoice
c) Start the approval process from the extracted data → Capture and classify the invoice → Store the image in the content repository → Call the decision service for the payment determination → Record the determination against the stored invoice
d) Capture and classify the invoice → Call the decision service for the payment determination → Store the image in the content repository → Start the approval process from the extracted data → Record the determination against the stored invoice
02. A revenue office has stated that its filing season concentrates most of the year's submissions into a few weeks, and that no submission may be lost when that happens. The architect is reviewing whether the design answers what has been stated.
Which two must the design establish?
(Choose two)
a) Where the season's operational events are stored so that the volume can be reviewed afterwards.
b) Which parts of the design hold work while it waits, since that is where a submission would be lost if one were.
c) How many instances of each component the cluster will run through the season.
d) What becomes of submissions arriving faster than the automation completes them, since what has been asked for is that none is lost rather than that all are handled at once.
03. Two capabilities inside one Cloud Pak for Business Automation deployment call each other, and access management for the platform covers both of them. The next integration is with a supplier's system that runs outside the deployment.
What changes about establishing who the caller is?
a) It moves to the content repository, which authorizes every request reaching the platform from outside
b) Nothing changes, because the supplier's people are registered in the platform's access management when the integration is set up
c) It becomes the supplier's responsibility, since the caller is on their side of the boundary
d) It becomes part of the integration itself, since the platform's access management does not cover the supplier's system
04. The requirements for a bank's account-closure solution cover how closures are processed, how closure records are retained, and how customers are notified. The program manager proposes taking the whole set to the operations director for a single sign-off, because operations sponsors the program.
Which two points should the architect raise?
(Choose two)
a) Sign-off should wait until the design is complete, so that the business approves requirements it can see the cost of.
b) A single sign-off records that someone approved the set, not that each requirement was agreed by the role that answers for it.
c) The operations director should sign off only the requirements that operations will fund, and the rest should be deferred to a later phase.
d) The retention requirements commit the bank to a records obligation, and the role accountable for records should agree them.
05. A design captures supplier invoices, stores each image in FileNet Content Manager, and starts an approval workflow from the extracted data. A developer proposes that the workflow also keep its own copy of the invoice image, so that the approval screen never has to reach the repository.
What is the architectural objection to that proposal?
a) The reviewer would see the image without the extracted values beside it, so the approval would be made on the picture rather than on the data
b) The invoice would exist in two places under two retention and access regimes, so neither an auditor nor a retention rule could be answered from the repository alone
c) Document images belong with the capture step that produced them, so only Automation Document Processing may keep one once extraction has finished and the data has been handed on
d) Process Mining could no longer report on how long the approval took, because the view it builds depends on each invoice being held in exactly one repository for the whole of its life
06. Four external systems each need something from three different capabilities, and the first draft of the design connects every system directly to each capability it needs.
What is the cost the architect should put in front of the client?
a) Each capability would need its own copy of every external system's data, which the design has no way to keep consistent
b) Fewer pairings would mean fewer places where a caller's identity is established, which weakens the platform's access management
c) Every pairing is a boundary of its own to secure, operate and change
d) The external systems become dependent on this deployment's upgrade schedule, which the client's other teams do not control
07. When a case reaches a decision point, two things must happen: a downstream process picks the case up, and the operational view records that the point was reached. A developer proposes that the case step call each of them in turn, and a third consumer of the same occurrence is expected next year.
What is the architectural objection?
a) Two calls in turn make the step take twice as long, which the case cannot absorb at a decision point
b) The case step would have to be changed for every new consumer, because it is carrying the list of who cares
c) The operational view has to be written by its consumer rather than by the producer, because a capability cannot record its own activity
d) The downstream process and the operational view need different information, so one call cannot serve both
08. Documents will be captured continuously from a shared storage location that another team owns and also uses for its own purposes.
Which question has to be settled with that team before the integration can be specified?
a) What happens to a document in that location once it has been captured, and which side is responsible for it afterwards
b) Whether the other team's users should be given access to the platform so that they can see what was captured
c) Whether capture should run on a fixed schedule or continuously, given that another team is using the same location for its own work
d) Which of the two teams is recorded as the author on the stored document once it has been cataloged in the repository
09. Before the production architecture is signed off, a client asks for a quickly installed environment so that business sponsors can see the capabilities working for themselves.
What is that environment legitimately able to establish for the architecture?
a) That the platform layer and the pattern selection have been proven for the operational environment, since the same components are installed in both.
b) That the environment the sponsors approved can be carried forward as the operational one once its sizing and security have been added to it.
c) That the capabilities on show are the ones the sponsors' work needs.
d) Nothing about the architecture, since a demonstration environment is a sales activity rather than a design one.
10. An architect's draft design rests on four assumptions: that the client's policy can be expressed as repeatable business decisions rather than case-by-case judgment; that the client's forms are legible enough to be processed; that the delivery team can be recruited in time; and that the infrastructure budget will be approved. The client asks which to validate first.
What should the architect answer?
a) Whether the policy decomposes into repeatable business decisions, because every later choice in the design assumes that it does.
b) Whichever assumption can be tested most cheaply, so that validation does not consume the design budget.
c) All four, in the order the phases will deliver them.
d) Whichever assumption the client is least confident about, since that is where the disagreement will surface and the program is most likely to stall.
