The Open Group OGEA-103 Practice Test 23
Question 220
Architecture peer review: A payment platform has data inconsistency because architects omitted cross-application information exchanges. Which assumption, if accepted, most directly leaves this problem unresolved?
- A server support group is automatically the owner of every business-facing application service.
- A value stream is the same thing as a sequence of technical API calls.
- Detailed Technology Architecture must be complete before an architecture engagement may be scoped.
- Every application always owns an independent copy of the authoritative enterprise data.
Explanation
Correct Answer
D:This is precisely the false assumption to challenge for Phase C data flow. The governing principle is: Data movement and sharing must support business processes and application interactions.
Incorrect Answers
A:This is also a risky claim, but it directly concerns Phase C app ownership rather than the error in the current case: A payment platform has data inconsistency because architects omitted cross-application information exchanges.
B:The shortcut would be dangerous for Phase B value streams; it is not the particular misconception driving the described Phase C data flow situation.
C:This false belief is about Phase A request scope. The central misconception is that every application always owns an independent copy of the authoritative enterprise data.
Question 221
During an architecture engagement: A transport company integrates ticketing partners without specifying ownership of fare and journey events. Which response best addresses the immediate decision?
- Identify critical data flows, producers, consumers, and interface information requirements.
- Define Data Architecture ownership, semantics, quality rules, and information exchange needs.
- Review the Request for Architecture Work and establish the scope, constraints, and stakeholders for Phase A.
- Assess the architecture change request and determine its impact and suitable response in Phase H.
Explanation
Correct Answer
A:This directly addresses Phase C data flow. Data movement and sharing must support business processes and application interactions. A useful acceptance check is: The architecture maps key data exchanges to sources, consumers, and constraints. This matters here because a transport company integrates ticketing partners without specifying ownership of fare and journey events. Which….
Incorrect Answers
B:This proposal belongs primarily to Phase C data ownership. It does not show that the architecture maps key data exchanges to sources, consumers, and constraints.
C:Although relevant to Phase A request scope, this is not the most direct response to Phase C data flow. For this decision, what matters is whether the architecture maps key data exchanges to sources, consumers, and constraints.
D:This action targets another architecture concern: Phase H change trigger. The priority here is Phase C data flow in this situation; it leaves the specific acceptance result unaddressed: the architecture maps key data exchanges to sources, consumers, and constraints.
Question 222
During design review: A transport company integrates ticketing partners without specifying ownership of fare and journey events. What is the strongest architectural reasoning for the decision?
- Architecture Change Management monitors change drivers and maintains architecture relevance over time.

Incorrect Answers
A:That principle helps reason about Phase H change trigger, but the described concern is specifically governed by Phase C data flow. It does not explain data movement and sharing must support business processes and application interactions.
C:The statement addresses Phase F roadmap prioritization. In the present case, a principle for Phase C data flow is required: data movement and sharing must support business processes and application interactions.
D:That principle helps reason about Phase G architecture contract, but the described concern is specifically governed by Phase C data flow. It does not explain data movement and sharing must support business processes and application interactions.
Question 223
Architecture acceptance review: A transport company integrates ticketing partners without specifying ownership of fare and journey events. Which evidence would BEST demonstrate that this concern was resolved?

- The architecture maps key data exchanges to sources, consumers, and constraints.
- The approved roadmap explains why each major work package occupies its planned position.
Explanation
Correct Answer
C:This checks the Phase C data flow outcome. The related decision is: Identify critical data flows, producers, consumers, and interface information requirements. This matters here because architecture acceptance review: A transport company integrates ticketing partners without specifying ownership of….
Incorrect Answers
A:The observation could be valid elsewhere for Requirements management cycle, but this case needs more direct Phase C data flow evidence: the architecture maps key data exchanges to sources, consumers, and constraints.
B:This result checks another area, Phase C data lifecycle. For This case, it does not establish that the architecture maps key data exchanges to sources, consumers, and constraints.
D:The observation could be valid elsewhere for Phase F roadmap prioritization, but this case needs more direct Phase C data flow evidence: the architecture maps key data exchanges to sources, consumers, and constraints.
Question 224
Which flawed shortcut is most directly contradicted by the following situation? A transport company integrates ticketing partners without specifying ownership of fare and journey events.
- The Preliminary Phase exists primarily to design the target application portfolio.
- Once a project is approved, its designs never need architecture compliance checks.
- Requirements Management ends after the Architecture Vision is signed.
- Every application always owns an independent copy of the authoritative enterprise data.
Explanation
Correct Answer
D:This is precisely the false assumption to challenge for Phase C data flow. The governing principle is: Data movement and sharing must support business processes and application interactions. This matters here because which flawed shortcut is most directly contradicted by the following situation.
Incorrect Answers
A:This false belief is about Preliminary capability. The central misconception is that every application always owns an independent copy of the authoritative enterprise data.
B:This is also a risky claim, but it directly concerns Phase G compliance rather than the error in the current case: A transport company integrates ticketing partners without specifying ownership of fare and journey events.
C:The shortcut would be dangerous for Requirements management cycle; it is not the particular misconception driving the described Phase C data flow situation.
Question 225
Architecture case: A university wants a target enrollment capability but its system inventory does not show how applications cooperate. What should the architect do NEXT to resolve this concern?
- Model Application Architecture components, services, and their required interactions.
- Reconcile work-package dependencies and value delivery when determining migration sequence.
- Define technology security controls and trusted network paths consistent with cross-cutting architecture requirements.
- Establish relevant Baseline Business Architecture and compare it with the intended target business design.
Explanation

A:This directly addresses Phase C application collaboration. Phase C Application Architecture describes the application functions and interactions needed to support business work. A useful acceptance check is: Application collaboration and service interfaces trace to business capabilities.
Incorrect Answers
B:This proposal belongs primarily to Phase F benefit dependencies. It does not show that application collaboration and service interfaces trace to business capabilities.
C:Although relevant to Phase D network trust, this is not the most direct response to Phase C application collaboration. For this decision, what matters is whether application collaboration and service interfaces trace to business capabilities.
D:This action targets another architecture concern: Phase B business baseline. The priority here is Phase C application collaboration in this situation; it leaves the specific acceptance result unaddressed: application collaboration and service interfaces trace to business capabilities.
