Which type of machine will run an automated deferred sync job?

Question

Options

• APrincipal AW machine
• BAW client machine
• CSecondary AW machine
• DAW/HDS machine

• A
  4% (1)
• B
  91% (21)
• D
  4% (1)

Explanation

Option B is correct because in this architecture, the AW client machine is responsible for executing automated deferred sync jobs - background processes that synchronize data on a scheduled or triggered basis outside of real-time transactions. The client machine handles these offline or asynchronous workloads as part of its role in the overall AW system.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A (Principal AW machine): The Principal AW machine typically serves a coordination or master role in the system, not execution of deferred background tasks.
• C (Secondary AW machine): Secondary machines generally act as backups or replicas for redundancy and failover, not as job runners for sync processes.
• D (AW/HDS machine): The AW/HDS machine is associated with host data services or storage functions, making it responsible for data hosting rather than running scheduled sync jobs.

Memory tip: Think "Client = does the work." In client-server models, clients are the active participants that perform tasks and sync data - so when you see "automated deferred sync," link it to the machine that acts, which is the client machine.
