IBM WebSphere Message Broker Interview Questions and Answers 

Q1. Difference between Root and Output Root?

Ans: The root is used in the Database content changing and in the Filter node.
Output Root is used in the ESQL code for a Compute node that creates a new output message based on the input message

Q2. Is it possible to set the Properties of the node apart from the right-click and setting the properties?

Ans: Windows à Show View à Basic à Properties

Q3. Which interface we have to implement when we are going to create an input custom node?

Ans: MbInputNodeInterface

Q4. Difference between RAD and ORDINARY deployment?

Ans: Using Resource adapter deployment, we can reuse the deployment till the server is re-booted.
Define BROKER, BAR, EXECUTION GROUP, SCADA, and COMPONENTS OF BROKER, WORKBENCH, WORKSPACE, and CMM?
BROKER: A broker is a set of execution processes that hosts one or more message flows to route, transform, and enrich in-flight messages.
BAR: Flows and sets that are to be deployed are packed in it and sent to configuration manager
EXECUTION GROUP: An execution group is a named grouping of message flows that have been assigned to a broker. The broker enforces a degree of isolation between message flows in distinct execution groups by ensuring that they execute in separate address spaces, or as unique processes.
SCADA: The SCADAInput node is used to receive messages from clients that connect to the broker across the WebSphere MQ Telemetry Transport. SCADA device clients use the MQIsdp protocol to send messages, which are converted by the SCADAInput node into a format recognized by WebSphere Message Broker. The node also establishes the processing environment for these messages.
COMPONENTS OF BROKER: Broker, Configuration manager, User name service.

Q5. What are PARSER and the difference between PARSER and FORMAT?

Ans: A Parser is defined as a program that interprets the bitstream of an incoming message and creates an internal representation of it in a tree structure
Ex: MRM parser    
A Format is a physical representation of a message.
Ex: XML wire format

Q6. What is the ResetContentDescriptor node?

Use the ResetContentDescriptor node to request that the message is reparsed by a different parser.

Q7. What is the User name Server and where it is defined?

Ans: The User Name Server is an optional runtime component that provides authentication of users and groups performing publish/subscribe operations.

Q8.  What is the SCHEMA of a broker?

Ans: A broker schema is a symbol space that defines the scope of uniqueness of the names of resources defined within it. The resources are message flows, ESQL files, and mapping files.

Q9.  How can we see the error log files in a broker?

Ans: The Windows Event Viewer is where WebSphere Message Broker writes records to the local system.

Q10. Default properties of Mqinput node? 

Ans:

Property	M	C	Default	Description
Message Domain	No	No		The domain that will be used to parse the incoming message.
Message Sent	No	No		The name or identifier of the message set in which the incoming message is defined.
Message Type	No	No		The name of the incoming message.
Message Format	No	No		The name of the physical format of the incoming message.
Topic	No	Yes		The default topic for the input message.

Q11. Which node is used to change the message in the flow?

Ans: Compute Node, Filter Node, and ResetContentDescriptor.

Q12. What is the use of commit for connection to Databases?

Ans: Any work that has been done using the respective data source in a message flow (including any actions taken in the node) is committed regardless of the subsequent success or failure of the message flow

Q13. Define Correlation names?

Ans: A correlation name is a field reference that identifies a well-defined starting point in the logical message tree and is used in field references to describe a standard part of the tree format.

Q14. MQInput node and INPUT node differences?

Ans: You must use an Input node to provide the in terminal to a subflow.
The Input node provides an in the terminal for an embedded message flow (a subflow).

Q15. How many Built-in nodes are there? Categories them?
