RCA System Administration and Infrastructure 2 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: Which Relativity service is responsible for managing long-running background jobs such as mass operations and processing?
- Agent Manager
- Worker Manager (Correct answer)
- Service Bus
- Relativity Processing Engine
Correct answer: Worker Manager
The Worker Manager service coordinates and distributes long-running background tasks across worker servers in a Relativity environment.
Question 2: In a Relativity environment, what is the primary purpose of the dtSearch index?
- Full-text keyword searching across document content (Correct answer)
- Structured SQL-based field searching
- Analytics conceptual clustering
- Near-duplicate document detection
Correct answer: Full-text keyword searching across document content
dtSearch indexes enable full-text keyword searching across document content, supporting Boolean and proximity searches.
Question 3: An admin needs to restrict a group so they can only see documents assigned to their custodian. Which feature accomplishes this?
- Workspace permissions
- Item-level security (Correct answer)
- View conditions
- Saved searches
Correct answer: Item-level security
Item-level security restricts access to individual documents or objects based on group membership, going beyond workspace-level permissions.
Question 4: What happens to the Relativity SQL database if the tempdb is located on the same disk as the primary data files during heavy processing?
- Queries run faster due to data locality
- Disk I/O contention can severely degrade performance (Correct answer)
- Relativity automatically migrates tempdb to another disk
- Processing jobs are automatically queued to prevent overload
Correct answer: Disk I/O contention can severely degrade performance
Co-locating tempdb with primary data files on the same disk causes I/O contention, degrading SQL Server performance significantly during heavy processing.
Question 5: Which Relativity component handles the conversion of native documents to images (TIFF/PDF) during the imaging process?
- Invariant
- Worker server with Imaging Profile (Correct answer)
- dtSearch engine
- Analytics server
Correct answer: Worker server with Imaging Profile
Worker servers equipped with imaging software process native documents into images according to settings defined in the Imaging Profile.
Question 6: A Relativity admin wants to prevent users from exporting documents after a certain date. Where is this setting most appropriately configured?
- System default settings in Instance Settings
- Workspace permissions for the group (Correct answer)
- Review Interface preferences
- Production set restrictions
Correct answer: Workspace permissions for the group
Export permissions are controlled at the workspace level by configuring group permissions to allow or deny the export functionality.
Question 7: What is the function of the Relativity Service Bus in the infrastructure?
- Hosts the Relativity web application
- Provides message queuing for asynchronous inter-service communication (Correct answer)
- Stores document metadata in structured tables
- Manages dtSearch index building
Correct answer: Provides message queuing for asynchronous inter-service communication
The Relativity Service Bus (powered by NServiceBus/RabbitMQ or MSMQ) enables asynchronous, decoupled communication between Relativity services.
