A developer from the Central IT team has created an initial version of the RAML definition in Design Center for an OAuth 2.0-protected System API and published it to Exchange. Another developer from LoB IT discovered the System API in Exchange and would like to leverage it in the Process API. What is the MuleSoft-recommended approach for Process API to invoke the System API?
A. The Process API needs to import an CAuth 2.0 module from Exchange first and update it with OAuth 2.0 credentials before the System API can be invoked
B. The Process API uses property YAML files to store the System API URLs and uses the HTTP Request Connector to invoke the Systerm API
C. The Process APL uses the REST Connect Connector autogenerated in Exchange for the System API
D. The Process API manually updates the Process API POM file to include the System API as a dependency
Explanation:
In MuleSoft’s ecosystem, when a Process API needs to consume a System
API (published to Exchange and protected by OAuth 2.0), the recommended approach is to
utilize the REST Connect Connector. Here’s how it aligns with best practices:

An organization uses various cloud-based SaaS systems and multiple on-premises
systems. The on-premises systems are an important part of the organization's application
network and can only be accessed from within the organization's intranet.
What is the best way to configure and use Anypoint Platform to support integrations with
both the cloud-based SaaS systems and on-premises systems?
A) Use CloudHub-deployed Mule runtimes in an Anypoint VPC managed by Anypoint
Platform Private Cloud Edition control plane
A.
Option A
B.
Option B
C.
Option C
D.
Option D
Option B
Explanation: •Explanation
Correct Answer: Use a combination of CloudHub-deployed and manually provisioned onpremises
Mule runtimes managed by the MuleSoft-hosted Platform control plane.
*****************************************
Key details to be taken from the given scenario:
>> Organization uses BOTH cloud-based and on-premises systems
>> On-premises systems can only be accessed from within the organization's intranet
Let us evaluate the given choices based on above key details:
>> CloudHub-deployed Mule runtimes can ONLY be controlled using MuleSoft-hosted
control plane. We CANNOT use Private Cloud Edition's control plane to control CloudHub
Mule Runtimes. So, option suggesting this is INVALID
>> Using CloudHub-deployed Mule runtimes in the shared worker cloud managed by the
MuleSoft-hosted Anypoint Platform is completely IRRELEVANT to given scenario and silly
choice. So, option suggesting this is INVALID
>> Using an on-premises installation of Mule runtimes that are completely isolated with NO
external network access, managed by the Anypoint Platform Private Cloud Edition control
plane would work for On-premises integrations. However, with NO external access,
integrations cannot be done to SaaS-based apps. Moreover CloudHub-hosted apps are
best-fit for integrating with SaaS-based applications. So, option suggesting this is BEST
WAY.
The best way to configure and use Anypoint Platform to support these mixed/hybrid
integrations is to use a combination of CloudHub-deployed and manually provisioned onpremises
Mule runtimes managed by the MuleSoft-hosted Platform control plane.
What is a typical result of using a fine-grained rather than a coarse-grained API deployment model to implement a given business process?
A.
A decrease in the number of connections within the application network supporting the business process
B.
A higher number of discoverable API-related assets in the application network
C.
A better response time for the end user as a result of the APIs being smaller in scope and complexity
D.
An overall tower usage of resources because each fine-grained API consumes less resources
A higher number of discoverable API-related assets in the application network
Explanation: Explanation
Correct Answer: A higher number of discoverable API-related assets in the application
network.
*****************************************
>> We do NOT get faster response times in fine-grained approach when compared to
coarse-grained approach.
>> In fact, we get faster response times from a network having coarse-grained APIs
compared to a network having fine-grained APIs model. The reasons are below.
Fine-grained approach:
1. will have more APIs compared to coarse-grained
2. So, more orchestration needs to be done to achieve a functionality in business process.
3. Which means, lots of API calls to be made. So, more connections will needs to be
established. So, obviously more hops, more network i/o, more number of integration points
compared to coarse-grained approach where fewer APIs with bulk functionality embedded
in them.
4. That is why, because of all these extra hops and added latencies, fine-grained approach
will have bit more response times compared to coarse-grained.
5. Not only added latencies and connections, there will be more resources used up in finegrained
approach due to more number of APIs.
That's why, fine-grained APIs are good in a way to expose more number of resuable assets
in your network and make them discoverable. However, needs more maintenance, taking
care of integration points, connections, resources with a little compromise w.r.t network
hops and response times.
What is the most performant out-of-the-box solution in Anypoint Platform to track
transaction state in an asynchronously executing long-running process implemented as a
Mule application deployed to multiple CloudHub workers?
A.
Redis distributed cache
B.
java.util.WeakHashMap
C.
Persistent Object Store
D.
File-based storage
Persistent Object Store
Explanation: Correct Answer: Persistent Object Store
*****************************************
>> Redis distributed cache is performant but NOT out-of-the-box solution in Anypoint
Platform
>> File-storage is neither performant nor out-of-the-box solution in Anypoint Platform
>> java.util.WeakHashMap needs a completely custom implementation of cache from
scratch using Java code and is limited to the JVM where it is running. Which means the
state in the cache is not worker aware when running on multiple workers. This type of
cache is local to the worker. So, this is neither out-of-the-box nor worker-aware among
multiple workers on cloudhub. https://www.baeldung.com/java-weakhashmap
>> Persistent Object Store is an out-of-the-box solution provided by Anypoint Platform
which is performant as well as worker aware among multiple workers running on
CloudHub. https://docs.mulesoft.com/object-store/
So, Persistent Object Store is the right answer.
A code-centric API documentation environment should allow API consumers to investigate and execute API client source code that demonstrates invoking one or more APIs as part of representative scenarios. What is the most effective way to provide this type of code-centric API documentation environment using Anypoint Platform?
A. Enable mocking services for each of the relevant APIs and expose them via their Anypoint Exchange entry
B. Ensure the APIs are well documented through their Anypoint Exchange entries and API Consoles and share these pages with all API consumers
C. Create API Notebooks and include them in the relevant Anypoint Exchange entries
D. Make relevant APIs discoverable via an Anypoint Exchange entry
Explanation: Explanation
Correct Answer: Create API Notebooks and Include them in the relevant Anypoint
exchange entries
*****************************************
>> API Notebooks are the one on Anypoint Platform that enable us to provide code-centric
API documentation

A system API has a guaranteed SLA of 100 ms per request. The system API is deployed to a primary environment as well as to a disaster recovery (DR) environment, with different DNS names in each environment. An upstream process API invokes the system API and the main goal of this process API is to respond to client requests in the least possible time. In what order should the system APIs be invoked, and what changes should be made in order to speed up the response time for requests from the process API?
A. In parallel, invoke the system API deployed to the primary environment and the system API deployed to the DR environment, and ONLY use the first response
B. In parallel, invoke the system API deployed to the primary environment and the system API deployed to the DR environment using a scatter-gather configured with a timeout, and then merge the responses
C. Invoke the system API deployed to the primary environment, and if it fails, invoke the system API deployed to the DR environment
D. Invoke ONLY the system API deployed to the primary environment, and add timeout and retry logic to avoid intermittent failures
Explanation: Explanation
Correct Answer: In parallel, invoke the system API deployed to the primary environment
and the system API deployed to the DR environment, and ONLY use the first response.
*****************************************
>> The API requirement in the given scenario is to respond in least possible time.
>> The option that is suggesting to first try the API in primary environment and then
fallback to API in DR environment would result in successful response but NOT in least
possible time. So, this is NOT a right choice of implementation for given requirement.
>> Another option that is suggesting to ONLY invoke API in primary environment and to
add timeout and retries may also result in successful response upon retries but NOT in
least possible time. So, this is also NOT a right choice of implementation for given
requirement.
>> One more option that is suggesting to invoke API in primary environment and API in DR
environment in parallel using Scatter-Gather would result in wrong API response as it
would return merged results and moreover, Scatter-Gather does things in parallel which is
true but still completes its scope only on finishing all routes inside it. So again, NOT a right
choice of implementation for given requirement
The Correct choice is to invoke the API in primary environment and the API in DR
environment parallelly, and using ONLY the first response received from one of them
