A retailer recently upgraded their IBM Sterling Order Management from an older version to
9.1. While verifying the installation after the upgrade was completed, the resource manager found that the APIs were not returning data from the extended columns of product tables. The release manager believes the root cause to be a defective build process. Which aspect of the build process was defective?

• A. The database extension xml was not present in the correct folder and hence the build process was not including it and did not detect any of the database extensions.
• B. The build process was not using the correct version of the JVM to compile the custom classes.
• C. In order to view data from extended columns, custom classes following the "data access object" pattern have to be written and compiled as part of the build process.
• D. There is nothing wrong with the build process. Data from extended columns will not be carried over as part of an upgrade.

An organization is implementing the IBM Sterling Order Management application to manage and fulfill special orders from store kiosks. The technology office wants to use Oracle RAC for a high performance, highly available solution for the database. Which statement is true about the capabilities of IBM Sterling Order Management?

• A. The technology office does not need to make this decision; a better solution for high availability is to deploy IBM Sterling Order Management in a multi-schema mode.
• B. IBM Sterling Order Management is independent of the database deployment, and can be installed with any configuration of Oracle RAC.
• C. IBM Sterling Order Management can connect to only one instance and since Oracle RAC involves multiple database instances, it cannot be used.
• D. While using Oracle RAC, IBM Sterling Order Management has been certified and tested for high performance only in a 2-node Oracle RAC configuration.

A fashion retailer would like to start taking pre-orders for an upcoming new line of merchandise. Orders get stamped with the advertised release date of the merchandise. To prevent spurious procurements from being triggered, the retailer wants the orders to be sourced only a few days ahead of the inventory being available. Which option will address this requirement?

• A. The scheduling rule can have a lead day of 'X' days configured so orders will be scheduled only that many days ahead of the advertisedrelease date.
• B. The scheduling rule can be configured to retry every 'X' hours so the orders will remain backordered until the advertised release date of theproduct is reached.
• C. The order can have an expected ship date way out in the future (like 1/1/2100) so the scheduling agent will not pick up these orders. Theexpected ship date can then be changed a few days before inventory becomes available.
• D. The orders should be put on a scheduling hold, and the hold released a few days before the advertised product release date.
