QUESTION 1
You need to ensure that the CloudManager app can write route progress check-ins to the courier’s microfeed.
What should you do? (Each correct answer presents part of the solution. Choose all that apply.)

A. Ensure that SP.RequestExecutor.js can be accessed in a browser window with no errors.
B. Ensure that the CloudManager app has the Manage permission request scoped to the URL for the franchisee’s My Site.
C. Ensure that the MySite host is provisioned for each franchisee.
D. Ensure that all cookies are made available between the My Site and the CloudManager app domain.
E. Ensure that the CloudManager app has the Write permission request scoped to the URL for the franchisee’s My Site.
F. Ensure that SP.UserProfiles.js can be accessed in a browser window with no errors.

Answer: A,B,D,E

Explanation: * From scenario: / Business Requirements
The FranchiseMonitor app must allow a Franchise employee to upload Appointments.csv to a SharePoint document library in each Franchisee site collection, and send Appointments.csv to the CloudManager app.
/ The FranchiseMonitor app must display the courier’s location on the bicycle courier’s microfeed on the SharePoint farm if the courier has remained stationary for more than three minutes.
/ The CloudManager app must implement business logic that parses Appointments.csv and geo-location data and sends Appointments or Appointment cancellations to the CourierMobile app.

---

QUESTION 2
A franchisee deletes several sites from the franchise’s site collection. The franchisee site collection administrator must recover the sites.
You need to instruct the franchisee site collection administrator on how to access the page
to recover the sites.
What should the site collection administrator do to get to the appropriate page?

A. Select General Settings for the Web Application in Central Administration and change the second stage Recycle Bin settings to 100 percent.
B. Select General Settings for the Web Application in Central Administration and change the first stage Recycle Bin settings to 0 days.
C. Select the Recycle Bin on the Site Settings page. Choose the appropriate sites and select Restore Selection.
D. Select the Recycle Bin in the Quick Launch page. Choose the appropriate sites and select Restore Selection.

Answer: D

Explanation: To restore a deleted site or workspace directly from the Site Collection
Recycle Bin:
1. Click Recycle Bin on the Quick Launch.
2. On the Site Name Recycle Bin page, above the list of deleted objects, click the Site Collection Recycle Binlink.
3. On the Site Collection Administration Recycle Bin page, under Select a View, make sure that Deleted from end user Recycle Bin is selected.
4. Locate the site or workspace that you want to restore.
5. Select the check box next to the site or workspace that you want to restore, and then click Restore Selection.
Incorrect:
Not A, not B: The sites have been deleted. They need to be restored. A and B are wrong because modifying the Recycle Bin settings after the sites are deleted will have no effect on the deleted sites.
Reference: Restore a deleted object from a SharePoint Recycle Bin

QUESTION 5
You need to create a custom sign-in page to allow the users of the FranchiseMonitor app to authenticate against SharePoint and Margie’s Travel API.
What should you do?

A. Create an app for SharePoint. Set the trust level to Sandbox solution. Create an application page that writes a cookie named FedAuth. Deploy the app and configure the Sign In Page URL in Central Administration Authentication Provider for the zone.
B. Create an app for SharePoint. Set the trust level to Farm solution. Create an application page that writes a cookie named FedAuth. Deploy the app and configure the Sign In Page URL in Central Administration Authentication Provider for the zone.
C. Create an app for SharePoint. Set the trust level to Farm solution. Create an application page that writes a cookie named ASPXAUTH. Deploy the app and configure the Sign In Page URL in Central Administration Authentication Provider for the zone.
D. Create an app for SharePoint. Set the trust level to Sandbox solution. Create an application page that writes a cookie named ASPXAUTH. Deploy the app and configure the Sign In Page URL in Central Administration Authentication Provider for the zone.

Answer: B

Explanation:
The new claims-based authentication in SharePoint 2010 does not use the ASPXAUTH cookie, instead it uses the FedAuth cookie.

QUESTION 1
You need to ensure that launching the app displays the required information.
From which ApplicationExecutionState enumeration should you configure the user interface state?

A. ClosedByUser
B. Suspended
C. NotRunning
D. Running
E. Terminated

Answer: E

Explanation: The user closes the app through the close gesture or Alt+F4 and takes longer than 10 seconds to activate the app again.
*From scenario: The app must meet the following technical requirements: Retain state for each user and each device.
Restore previously saved state each time the app is launched.
Your app can use activation to restore previously saved data in the event that the operating system terminates your app, and subsequently the user re-launches it. The OS may terminate your app after it has been suspended for a number of reasons. The user may manually close your app, or sign out, or the system may be running low on resources.
