IICS Certification Cloud Application Integration in IICS 2 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: What is the role of a 'Guide' in IICS Application Integration?
- A user-facing wizard-style form that captures input and triggers a process (Correct answer)
- A data profiling tool for source analysis
- A debugging utility for process runs
- A reusable transformation template
Correct answer: A user-facing wizard-style form that captures input and triggers a process
A Guide provides a configurable multi-step UI form that collects user input and can trigger an underlying Application Integration process.
Question 2: In IICS Application Integration, what is an 'Assignment' step used for?
- Calling an external web service
- Setting the value of a process variable or field (Correct answer)
- Routing flow along a conditional branch
- Sending a notification to a user
Correct answer: Setting the value of a process variable or field
An Assignment step sets or updates the value of a variable or output field within the process flow.
Question 3: Which object in IICS Application Integration defines the data structure passed between steps in a process?
- Schema / Service Object (Correct answer)
- Connection Factory
- Taskflow
- Mapping
Correct answer: Schema / Service Object
Service Objects (schemas) define the data structure — fields and types — used as inputs and outputs for process steps.
Question 4: What does 'error handling' in an IICS Application Integration process allow you to do?
- Automatically restart failed Secure Agents
- Define catch steps that handle exceptions and route execution to recovery logic (Correct answer)
- Delete failed records from the source
- Notify Informatica support automatically
Correct answer: Define catch steps that handle exceptions and route execution to recovery logic
Error handling in a process lets you define catch scopes that intercept exceptions and execute recovery or notification logic.
Question 5: In IICS Application Integration, what is the purpose of a 'Subprocess' step?
- Runs a Data Integration mapping inline
- Calls another Application Integration process as a reusable sub-component (Correct answer)
- Queries a database directly
- Sends an asynchronous message to a queue
Correct answer: Calls another Application Integration process as a reusable sub-component
A Subprocess step calls another process as a reusable modular component, enabling process decomposition and reuse.
Question 6: Which binding type in IICS Application Integration enables a process to be triggered by a message on a queue or topic?
- REST binding
- SOAP binding
- JMS / messaging binding (Correct answer)
- File binding
Correct answer: JMS / messaging binding
A JMS or messaging binding subscribes a process to a message queue or topic, triggering execution when a message arrives.
