RCA Facility Operations & Maintenance 3 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: An administrator receives an alert that the Relativity Message Queue (RMQ/Service Bus) is down. What is the most likely immediate impact?
- Users cannot log in to Relativity
- Agent jobs stop processing and distributed tasks fail (Correct answer)
- All file repositories become inaccessible
- SQL database connections are dropped
Correct answer: Agent jobs stop processing and distributed tasks fail
The Relativity Message Queue coordinates communication between agents and distributed services; if it goes down, agent jobs and async tasks will stop processing.
Question 2: Which Relativity component stores imaging and processing job configuration separate from the main SQL database?
- Invariant database (Correct answer)
- EDDS database
- Resource Pool database
- Analytics server index
Correct answer: Invariant database
The Invariant database stores processing and imaging configuration and job data separately from the main EDDS SQL database.
Question 3: What is the purpose of the Relativity 'Branding Manager' agent?
- Apply watermarks and branding stamps to produced documents (Correct answer)
- Manage Relativity instance licensing and branding keys
- Update the Relativity UI theme for all workspaces
- Sync custom logos from the admin interface to user portals
Correct answer: Apply watermarks and branding stamps to produced documents
The Branding Manager agent applies burn-in branding stamps (such as Bates numbers or confidentiality designations) to documents during production.
Question 4: A workspace is running out of disk space due to large file repositories. Which action should the administrator take first?
- Delete all error documents
- Add a new file repository and update the Resource Pool (Correct answer)
- Increase the SQL database transaction log size
- Reduce the number of concurrent users
Correct answer: Add a new file repository and update the Resource Pool
Adding a new file repository and assigning it to the Resource Pool allows Relativity to use the additional storage without disrupting existing data.
Question 5: Which Relativity setting must be configured to enable users to use the Assisted Review (Active Learning) feature?
- Analytics Server must be configured in the environment (Correct answer)
- A dedicated GPU cluster must be provisioned
- RabbitMQ Premium license must be activated
- Invariant must be upgraded to the latest patch
Correct answer: Analytics Server must be configured in the environment
Active Learning (Assisted Review) relies on the Analytics Server, which must be installed and configured in the Relativity environment.
Question 6: What is the correct way to upgrade Relativity agents without causing data loss?
- Stop agents, run the upgrade installer, restart agents (Correct answer)
- Delete and recreate all agents post-upgrade
- Modify the agent DLLs manually in the file repository
- Pause agent jobs via SQL and truncate the agent queue table
Correct answer: Stop agents, run the upgrade installer, restart agents
The standard upgrade procedure is to stop agent services, run the Relativity upgrade installer (which updates agent binaries), then restart agents.
Question 7: Which database table in Relativity tracks the status and progress of all running agents?
- AgentRun
- EDDS.eddsdbo.Agent (Correct answer)
- Invariant.dbo.QueueRecord
- EDDS.eddsdbo.WorkerStatus
Correct answer: EDDS.eddsdbo.Agent
The EDDS.eddsdbo.Agent table stores configuration and status information for all Relativity agents registered in the environment.
