B Correct answer
Explanation

Agile Management DOES use iterative cycles (a is wrong saying 'NotIterative'), DOES have rapid feedback (b is wrong), and DOES deliver early value (c is correct). Since statements contain clear contradictions (a and b say 'Not' to core Agile principles), the overall answer is False.

Which of this is the not the input parameter for MQGET API?

  1. Object Handle

  2. Size of the buffer assigned to hold the message

  3. Length of application data in message

  4. Connection Handle
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

MQGET API requires input parameters: Object Handle (Hobj), Buffer (to receive message), Buffer Length (size of buffer), and Connection Handle (Hconn). The 'Length of application data in message' is an OUTPUT parameter (returned in the DataLength field) that tells you how much data was actually retrieved, not an input you provide.

Which of this is not one of the parameters used for MQCMIT API?

  1. Connection Handle

  2. Object Handle

  3. Reason Code

  4. Completion Code
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

MQCMIT API commits all operations within the current unit of work. Its parameters are: Connection Handle (Hconn), Completion Code (CompCode), and Reason Code (Reason). Object Handle (Hobj) is NOT a parameter for MQCMIT because commit operations work at the connection/transaction level, not on individual queue objects.
