An organization has implemented a Customer Address API to retrieve customer address
information. This API has been deployed to multiple environments and has been configured
to enforce client IDs everywhere.
A developer is writing a client application to allow a user to update their address. The
developer has found the Customer Address API in Anypoint Exchange and wants to use it
in their client application.
What step of gaining access to the API can be performed automatically by Anypoint
Platform?


A.

Approve the client application request for the chosen SLA tier


B.

Request access to the appropriate API Instances deployed to multiple environments using the client application's credentials


C.

Modify the client application to call the API using the client application's credentials


D.

Create a new application in Anypoint Exchange for requesting access to the API





A.
  

Approve the client application request for the chosen SLA tier



Explanation: Explanation
Correct Answer: Approve the client application request for the chosen SLA tier
*****************************************
>> Only approving the client application request for the chosen SLA tier can be automated
>> Rest of the provided options are not valid
Reference: https://docs.mulesoft.com/api-manager/2.x/defining-sla-tiers#defining-a-tier

Refer to the exhibit.

A developer is building a client application to invoke an API deployed to the STAGING
environment that is governed by a client ID enforcement policy.
What is required to successfully invoke the API?


A.

The client ID and secret for the Anypoint Platform account owning the API in the STAGING environment


B.

The client ID and secret for the Anypoint Platform account's STAGING environment


C.

The client ID and secret obtained from Anypoint Exchange for the API instance in the
STAGING environment


D.

A valid OAuth token obtained from Anypoint Platform and its associated client ID and
secret





C.
  

The client ID and secret obtained from Anypoint Exchange for the API instance in the
STAGING environment



Explanation: Explanation
Correct Answer: The client ID and secret obtained from Anypoint Exchange for the API
instance in the STAGING environment
*****************************************
>> We CANNOT use the client ID and secret of Anypoint Platform account or any individual
environments for accessing the APIs
>> As the type of policy that is enforced on the API in question is "Client ID Enforcment
Policy", OAuth token based access won't work.
Right way to access the API is to use the client ID and secret obtained from Anypoint
Exchange for the API instance in a particular environment we want to work on.

In which layer of API-led connectivity, does the business logic orchestration reside?


A.

System Layer


B.

Experience Layer


C.

Process Layer





C.
  

Process Layer



Explanation: Explanation
Correct Answer: Process Layer
*****************************************
>> Experience layer is dedicated for enrichment of end user experience. This layer is to
meet the needs of different API clients/ consumers.
>> System layer is dedicated to APIs which are modular in nature and implement/ expose
various individual functionalities of backend systems
>> Process layer is the place where simple or complex business orchestration logic is
written by invoking one or many System layer modular APIs
So, Process Layer is the right answer.

A Mule 4 API has been deployed to CloudHub and a Basic Authentication - Simple policy has been applied to all API methods and resources. However, the API is still accessible by clients without using authentication. How is this possible?


A. The APE Router component is pointing to the incorrect Exchange version of the APT


B. The Autodiscovery element is not present, in the deployed Mule application


C. No… for client applications have been created of this API


D. One of the application’s CloudHub workers restarted





B.
  The Autodiscovery element is not present, in the deployed Mule application

Explanation:
When a Basic Authentication policy is applied to an API on CloudHub but clients can still access the API without authentication, the likely cause is a missing Autodiscovery element. Here’s how this affects API security:

  • Autodiscovery in MuleSoft:
  • Why Option B is Correct:
  • Explanation of Incorrect Options:
References:
Refer to MuleSoft documentation on Autodiscovery configuration and linking API Manager policies for additional information on setting up secure API policies.

What Mule application can have API policies applied by
Anypoint Platform to the endpoint exposed by that Mule application?
A) A Mule application that accepts requests over HTTP/1.x



A.

Option A


B.

Option B


C.

Option C


D.

Option D





A.
  

Option A



Explanation: Explanation
Correct Answer: Option A
*****************************************
>> Anypoint API Manager and API policies are applicable to all types of HTTP/1.x APIs.
>> They are not applicable to WebSocket APIs, HTTP/2 APIs and gRPC APIs
Reference: https://docs.mulesoft.com/api-manager/2.x/using-policies

What do the API invocation metrics provided by Anypoint Platform provide?


A.

ROI metrics from APIs that can be directly shared with business users


B.

Measurements of the effectiveness of the application network based on the level of reuse


C.

Data on past API invocations to help identify anomalies and usage patterns across various APIs


D.

Proactive identification of likely future policy violations that exceed a given threat
threshold





C.
  

Data on past API invocations to help identify anomalies and usage patterns across various APIs



Explanation: Explanation
Correct Answer: Data on past API invocations to help identify anomalies and usage
patterns across various APIs
*****************************************
API Invocation metrics provided by Anypoint Platform:
>> Does NOT provide any Return Of Investment (ROI) related information. So the option
suggesting it is OUT.
>> Does NOT provide any information w.r.t how APIs are reused, whether there is effective
usage of APIs or not etc...
>> Does NOT prodive any prediction information as such to help us proactively identify any
future policy violations.
So, the kind of data/information we can get from such metrics is on past API invocations to
help identify anomalies and usage patterns across various APIs.

Which APIs can be used with DataGraph to create a unified schema?


A. APIs 1, 3, 5


B. APIs 2, 4 ,6


C. APIs 1, 2, s5, 6


D. APIs 1, 2, 3, 4





D.
  APIs 1, 2, 3, 4

Explanation:
To create a unified schema in MuleSoft's DataGraph, APIs must be exposed in a way that allows DataGraph to pull and consolidate data from these APIs into a single schema accessible to consumers. DataGraph provides a federated approach, combining multiple APIs to form a single, unified API endpoint.
In this setup:
APIs 1, 2, 3, and 4 are suitable candidates for DataGraph because they are hosted within the Customer VPC on CloudHub and are accessible either through a Shared Load Balancer (LB) or a Dedicated Load Balancer (DLB). Both of these load balancers provide public access, which is a necessary condition for DataGraph as it must access the APIs to aggregate data.
APIs 5 and 6 are hosted on Customer Hosted Server 2, which is explicitly marked as "Not public". Since DataGraph requires API access through a publicly reachable endpoint to aggregate them into a unified schema, APIs 5 and 6 cannot be used with DataGraph in this configuration.
APIs 3 and 4 on Customer Hosted Server 1 appear accessible through a Shared LB, implying public accessibility that meets DataGraph’s requirements.
By combining APIs 1, 2, 3, and 4 within DataGraph, you can create a unified schema that enables clients to query data seamlessly from all these APIs as if it were from a single source.
This setup allows for efficient data retrieval and can simplify API consumption by reducing the need to call multiple APIs individually, thus optimizing performance and developer experience.
