Question 1

What is the simplest way to call a custom Alfresco repository JavaScript extension from a content rule?
A) Create a new custom action that calls my script, and bundle both the custom script and the custom action into an AMP.
B) Add the script to Data Dictionary/Scripts, then use the "Execute a Script" action to call it from the rule.
C) Add a function called "executeAction" to the JavaScript and place it on the classpath. Alfresco Content Services will add it as a rule action.
D) Upload the script to the folder on which the rule action is applied, and name it "ruleScript" so Alfresco Content Services can find it.

Accepted Answer

The simplest way to call a custom Alfresco repository JavaScript extension from a content rule is by adding the script to Data Dictionary/Scripts folder and then using the "Execute a Script" action to call it from the rule. This allows easy management and deployment of the script without the need for additional customizations or programming.

Question 2

When testing an Alfresco Content Services extension under high levels of concurrency, you notice that some transactions are failing due to locking issues with the database. What is an appropriate way to resolve this?
A) Manually unlock the offending records and start the testing again.
B) Directly use Alfresco's database connection pool and write your own SQL.
C) Use the RetryingTransactionHelper to retry code that fails due to locking.
D) Rewrite the queries used by your application to reduce the chance of the lock.

Accepted Answer

A

Question 3

The embedded Activity in Alfresco Content Services provides different types of tasks in a process definition. Which one is NOT a provided task?
A) userTask.
B) processTask.
C) scriptTask.
D) mailTask.

Accepted Answer

The provided task types in the embedded Activity in Alfresco Content Services are userTask, scriptTask, and mailTask. The processTask is not a provided task type.

Question 4

Which tasks would require a restart of the Alfresco server to apply the changes? (Choose two.)
A) Deploying a new content model via a *-context.xml file.
B) Deploying a new content model into Data Dictionary/Models.
C) Deploying a new workflow through the Activiti workflow console.
D) Making configuration changes in alfresco-global properties.
E) Making configuration changes via JMX.

Accepted Answer

Deploying a new content model via a *-context.xml file and making configuration changes in alfresco-global properties both require a server restart to apply the changes.

Question 5

Select two ways to audit Alfresco Content Services events in an Alfresco Content Services extension? (Choose two.)
A) Mark a method in the extension with an @Auditable annotation.
B) Open a connection to the database and write the audit information to the audit tables.
C) Inject AuditComponent into the extension and call recordAuditValues.
D) Use the Alfresco REST API to record an audit event.
E) Call the Java Audit Service.

Accepted Answer

Question 6

What are the variable's scopes available for Activiti workflows?
A) Process instance and task.
B) Node and task.
C) Process instance and form.
D) Process instance and global.

Accepted Answer

Activiti workflows support variable scopes at the process instance and task levels. Variables defined at the process instance level are available throughout the entire process, while variables defined at the task level are only available within that specific task. The other answer choices are not valid as "Node" and "Form" are not variable scopes in Activiti, and "Global" is not a valid scope as variables should be localized to minimize unexpected interference between different parts of the process.

Question 7

If an object is moved to a different folder, what will happen to the node's security permissions?
A) It will inherit the ACL from the new parent folder.
B) It will inherit the ACL from the user who is moving it.
C) It will inherit the system wide ACL.
D) It will keep its old ACL.

Accepted Answer

When an object is moved to a different folder, it will inherit the ACL from the new parent folder. This ensures that the object's security permissions are consistent with the permissions of the folder it has been moved to.

Question 8

Which one of the following statements about aspects is TRUE?
A) Aspects can only be applied to "cm:content".
B) An aspect can have a type as a parent.
C) An aspect may not include associations.
D) Aspects can inherit from other aspects.

Accepted Answer

An aspect can have a type as a parent, meaning it can be associated with a type to add additional properties or behaviors.

Question 9

Which file is required in order for an AMP file to be valid?
A) module.properties
B) service-context.xml
C) file-mapping.properties
D) web.xml

Accepted Answer

The answer of Which file is required in order for...

Question 10

Which approaches can be used to define a set of reusable metadata fields? (Choose two.)
A) Define a datalist with the required properties and assign the datalist to each type or aspect through an association.
B) Define a global type which holds the common properties, then define an association from each type requiring the properties back to the global type.
C) Define and use the same property names in the different types that need those fields.
D) Define a base type which holds the common properties and have all the types that need those fields inherit from the base type.
E) Create an aspect and apply it as a mandatory aspect to all the types which need the properties.

Accepted Answer

The answer of Which approaches can be used to define...

Question 11

What is Alfresco's preferred tool for building and packaging an extension?
A) Winzip
B) Ant
C) Maven
D) Gradle

Accepted Answer

Alfresco's preferred tool for building and packaging an extension is Maven. Maven is a powerful build automation tool that can manage a project's build, reporting, and documentation from a central piece of information. It is widely used in the Java community and has extensive plugin support for Alfresco projects.

Question 12

To which content model entities can a behavior be associated with? (Choose two.)
A) Aspects.
B) Types.
C) Constraints.
D) Rules.
E) Associations.

Accepted Answer

Behaviors can be associated with Aspects and Types in a content model. Aspects describe a characteristic or attribute of the content, while Types define the structure and organization of the content. Constraints limit or restrict the content, rules provide instructions for processing the content, and associations define relationships between different entities in the content model.

Question 13

While implementing an Alfresco Content Services extension, you find you need to pull information out of a document and make it available as content properties. What type of component would you develop to perform this task?
A) Content Transformer.
B) Metadata Extractor.
C) Alfresco Action.
D) Metadata Generator.

Accepted Answer

A metadata extractor is designed to extract metadata from a document into Alfresco content properties, making the information contained in the document more easily searchable and available for use in other applications. Content transformers are used to transform the content format of a document, Alfresco actions are used to perform specific actions on a document, and there is no component called a Metadata Generator in Alfresco.

Question 14

Which of the following is not an Alfresco-supplied subsystem category?
A) Dictionary.
B) Authentication.
C) Audit.
D) Search.

Accepted Answer

The Dictionary is not an Alfresco-supplied subsystem category. Alfresco provides subsystems for Authentication, Audit, and Search.

Question 15

You have been tasked to develop a solution that will notify an external system when updates are made to certain documents. These documents can be of any type and the content authors will make the decision if the document needs this "notification" functionality. Select the simplest combination steps that will implement this solution.
A) Define a new "notify" aspect with a "multi" peer association. Create and register a policy behavior that, when content is updates, users can associate their content via this aspect. As associations are being made, the external notification request will be triggered.
B) Define a new "notify" aspect with no properties. Create and register a policy behavior that, if this aspect is present, will make the external notification request. Users can simply add this aspect to their content item.
C) Extend cm:content to provide an additional "notify" property. Create a policy behavior that will look at the "notify" property and, if set, make the external notification request. Users simply create cm:content items.
D) Extend sys:base to provide an additional "notify" property. Create a new policy that will look at the "notify" property and, if set, make the external notification request. Users can simply call an action against their content item.

Accepted Answer

The answer of You have been tasked to develop a...

Question 16

What does it mean when it is said in Solr indexing that the index is "eventually consistent"?
A) The index will only be consistent after a server restart.
B) The index will become consistent when there are no more transactions to index.
C) The index becomes consistent once a day when the index job runs.
D) The index can only be consistent when the Lucene index job eventually runs.

Accepted Answer

"Eventually consistent" in Solr indexing means that the index will become consistent over time as all updates and transactions are processed. It may not be immediately consistent, but eventually it will reach a state where all indexed data is up to date. This is because Solr distributions can run on multiple servers with asynchronous replication, and it may take some time for updates to be replicated to all servers. Therefore, it is important to take this into account when designing applications that rely on Solr indexing. Option A is incorrect because a server restart is not required for the index to become eventually consistent. Option C is incorrect because the index job can run more frequently than once a day. Option D is incorrect because the Lucene index job is just one component of Solr indexing and does not solely determine eventual consistency.

Question 17

The workflow pictured, shows 3 gateways. What type of gateways are they? 
A) Exclusive
B) Parallel
C) Inclusive
D) Fork
E) Join

Accepted Answer

Question 18

Select the element that will allow any node to be included as part of a peer association: A) d:noderef B) ANY C) sys:base D) cm:cmobject

Accepted Answer

The class "sys:base" is a base class in many systems that allows for the inclusion of any node type, making it suitable for peer associations.

Question 19

How should Smart Folders be identified and recognized?
A) Smart Folders should be recognized by their type smf:smartFolder
B) Smart Folders should be recognized by parent-child type used smf:contains
C) Smart Folders should be recognized by their aspect smf:smartFolder
D) Smart Folders should be recognized by the special node reference used.
E) Smart Folders cannot be recognized as they are not different from any other cm:folder.

Accepted Answer

Question 20

A scheduled job can execute a piece of logic either by itself or wrapped inside a repository action. What is the benefit of defining a template action for the scheduled job?
A) The job can execute a logic that is not related specifically to a node.
B) The job can execute a logic multiple times, once for each node returned by a query.
C) The job can execute a logic only once and does a mass update of nodes returned by a query.
D) The job can execute a logic multiple times on the same specific node.
