Full set: 80 questions
Answer options
A: It allows network management tasks to be automated.
B: Only one workflow can be executed at one time. Correct answer
C: Actions and expressions are extensible using Python.
D: A workflow action can run against RESTCONF APIs.
Correct Answer:
B. Only one workflow can be executed at one time.
Explanation

The Nokia NSP Workflow Manager (WFM) is a powerful automation tool designed for modern, large-scale networks. A key architectural feature is its ability to handle multiple concurrent operations to ensure scalability and efficiency. The WFM engine can execute multiple, independent workflow instances simultaneously. Limiting execution to a single workflow at a time would create a significant performance bottleneck, rendering the tool ineffective for managing the complex and parallel tasks required in carrier-grade network environments. Therefore, the statement that only one workflow can be executed at a time is false.

Why Incorrect

A: The fundamental purpose of the NSP Workflow Manager is to automate complex, multi-step network management tasks, from service provisioning to maintenance and assurance. C: The WFM is designed to be extensible. Users can create custom actions and expressions using Python 3 scripts to integrate with other systems or implement unique logic. D: The WFM includes a set of built-in actions for interacting with various protocols and interfaces, including RESTCONF, NETCONF, and other RESTful APIs, which are essential for modern network automation.

For Correct Answer (B): In the "Workflow execution" section, it is stated, "The Workflow Manager can execute multiple workflows concurrently." This directly contradicts option B.

For Incorrect Option (A): The "Introduction" chapter states, "The Workflow Manager application allows you to automate network management tasks by creating and executing workflows." This confirms the purpose described in option A.

For Incorrect Option (C): The "Custom actions and expressions" section details the process, stating, "You can create custom actions and expressions using Python 3 scripts." This confirms the extensibility mentioned in option C.

For Incorrect Option (D): The "Built-in actions" section lists available actions, including those for "RESTCONF" and "REST" calls, confirming the capability described in option D.
