• What is the primary function of IBM Refactoring Assistant in the wca4z toolchain?
• Which development environments are supported by the IBM watsonx Code Assistant for Z IDE plugin?
• Within the ADDI architecture, what does IBM Build Forge primarily contribute?
• What does the ADDI Analysis Server do after source code is submitted to it?
• How does ADDI typically retrieve source files and other artifacts from z/OS for analysis?
• Which default TCP port does the ADDI Server use for HTTPS connections from the Analysis Server and web console?
• What is the recommended installation sequence for the core ADDI components?
• From where does IBM Refactoring Assistant retrieve the application dependency data it displays?
• When a developer triggers code generation in the wca4z IDE plugin, where does the actual AI inference occur?
• Which source control integration approach does ADDI support for collecting COBOL source during discovery?
• In a typical wca4z deployment, on which platform do the ADDI server components run?
• Which view does IBM Refactoring Assistant provide to help architects understand program interdependencies?
• What must a developer configure in the wca4z IDE plugin before using the Generate Java function?
• Which capability differentiates ADDI Enterprise Edition from the standard edition?
• What is the relationship between IBM Developer for z/OS (IDz) and the wca4z IDE plugin?
• Which component in the ADDI architecture schedules and executes recurring discovery scans?
• In the wca4z reference architecture, which layer sits between the developer IDE and the AI foundation model?
• Which protocol do the ADDI Analysis Server and ADDI Server use to communicate with each other?
• Why is an API gateway pattern recommended when deploying transformed Java modules that replace extracted COBOL services?
• What must be in place before discovery, refactoring, transformation or validation workflows can be used with watsonx Code Assistant for Z?
• An administrator troubleshooting a pilot deployment asks what should drive architecture, sizing, and integration decisions for a modernized application. What is the answer?
• As a proof of concept moves into a governed modernisation project, what needs to be established for the compute, storage, repositories and access the work will use?
• What should a modernization plan establish before source code, build artefacts and repositories start moving between IBM Z and target runtime environments?
• A team has installed the editor extension and considers the platform ready. What is missing?
• Why does attempting transformation before components are configured fail unhelpfully?
• A customer plans to pick a deployment topology straight from the platform's default template rather than designing one. Why is that risky?
• A senior engineer reviews a modernisation plan that has developers each creating their own untracked compute and storage as needed. What is the concern with this approach?
• Why is moving mainframe source code between teams through personal email a poor substitute for planned connectivity?
• Why should resources be provisioned for production use rather than left at pilot sizing?
• An administrator troubleshooting a pilot deployment finds that latency requirements were never documented before the architecture was chosen. What symptom would this produce?
• Which finding during a readiness review would most clearly signal that provisioning has been handled correctly for a modernisation workload?
• During a pilot, an administrator finds that the repository sync job worked only because an engineer manually copied a credentials file onto the target host. What does this finding indicate?
• Which check best confirms that the environment is ready for modernization workflows?
• A migration team has assumed that every transformed application can be deployed as stateless. What finding would show this assumption is wrong for a given application?
• A senior engineer notices generated Java artifacts are being kept only in local folders on individual laptops rather than a shared repository. What task follows from this finding?
• Which activity belongs in the connectivity workstream of a modernization plan, rather than in application development?
• Which sequence correctly orders environment setup and modernization work?
• An administrator troubleshooting a pilot deployment is deciding which architecture task to run next. Which task correctly applies functional and non-functional requirements?
• A rollout is scheduled for next quarter and the architects want to avoid an architecture mismatch. Which combination of inputs should they use to size and integrate the new system?
• Today's design review turns to which choice best matches sound practice for standing up infrastructure for a modernisation workload. Which is it?
• An administrator troubleshooting a pilot notices that network controls between the mainframe and the target environment were disabled to get an early demo working faster. What is the risk with this approach?
• Which statement best summarises the architecture prerequisites for watsonx Code Assistant for Z?
• A build-out is meant to scale from day one, and the customer wants a single rule of thumb for making architecture decisions. Which statement best summarises how those decisions should be made?
• Which statement best summarises correct practice for provisioning infrastructure on a modernisation project?
• A team preparing a production rollout wants to avoid connectivity problems surfacing late. What should the plan get right early?
