050-696 Question #123: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation
The correct answer is I. Ic. The Ic (Immediate Compress) attribute in NetWare triggers the compression routine on a file immediately after it is modified and closed, rather than waiting for the system-scheduled compression window.
Question
Your organization uses a database application to store names and addresses used in direct-mail campaigns. As the demand for your company's products has grown, the database file has become very large. Which file attribute could you assign to the database file to keep it as small as possible by running the NetWare compression routine every time the file is modified instead of at the system- specified compression start time?
Options
- AA
- BH
- CP
- DCi
- EDc
- FDi
- GDm
- HDs
- IIc
- JRo
Explanation
The Ic (Immediate Compress) attribute in NetWare triggers the compression routine on a file immediately after it is modified and closed, rather than waiting for the system-scheduled compression window.
Common mistakes.
- A. The A (Archive Needed) attribute flags the file for backup and does not affect compression behavior or timing.
- B. The H (Hidden) attribute hides the file from directory listings and has no effect on compression.
- C. The P (Purge) attribute causes immediate permanent deletion when the file is removed and does not control compression.
- D. The Ci (Copy Inhibit) attribute restricts copying the file by non-supervisory users and does not affect compression scheduling.
- E. The Dc (Don't Compress) attribute explicitly prevents NetWare from ever compressing the file, which would make the disk space problem significantly worse.
- F. The Di (Delete Inhibit) attribute prevents the file from being deleted and has no relationship to compression scheduling.
- G. The Dm (Don't Migrate) attribute prevents the file from being moved to secondary storage and does not control compression timing.
- H. The Ds (Don't Suballocate) attribute prevents block suballocation for the file to avoid fragmentation issues and does not influence compression behavior.
- J. The Ro (Read Only) attribute prevents modifications to the file and does not control when or whether compression occurs.
