An API implementation is deployed on a single worker on CloudHub and invoked by
external API clients (outside of CloudHub). How can an alert be set up that is guaranteed to
trigger AS SOON AS that API implementation stops responding to API invocations?
A.
Implement a heartbeat/health check within the API and invoke it from outside the Anypoint Platform and alert when the heartbeat does not respond
B.
Configure a "worker not responding" alert in Anypoint Runtime Manager
C.
Handle API invocation exceptions within the calling API client and raise an alert from that API client when the API Is unavailable
D.
Create an alert for when the API receives no requests within a specified time period
Configure a "worker not responding" alert in Anypoint Runtime Manager
Explanation: Explanation
Correct Answer: Configure a “Worker not responding” alert in Anypoint Runtime Manager.
*****************************************
>> All the options eventually helps to generate the alert required when the application stops
responding.
>> However, handling exceptions within calling API and then raising alert from API client is
inappropriate and silly. There could be many API clients invoking the API implementation
and it is not ideal to have this setup consistently in all of them. Not a realistic way to do.
>> Implementing a health check/ heartbeat with in the API and calling from outside to
detmine the health sounds OK but needs extra setup for it and same time there are very
good chances of generating false alarms when there are any intermittent network issues
between external tool calling the health check API on API implementation. The API
implementation itself may not have any issues but due to some other factors some false
alarms may go out.
>> Creating an alert in API Manager when the API receives no requests within a specified
time period would actually generate realistic alerts but even here some false alarms may
go out when there are genuinely no requests from API clients.
The best and right way to achieve this requirement is to setup an alert on Runtime
Manager with a condition "Worker not responding". This would generate an alert
AS SOON AS the workers become unresponsive.
An API has been updated in Anypoint Exchange by its API producer from version 3.1.1 to
3.2.0 following accepted semantic versioning practices and the changes have been
communicated via the API's public portal.
The API endpoint does NOT change in the new version.
How should the developer of an API client respond to this change?
A.
The update should be identified as a project risk and full regression testing of the functionality that uses this API should be run
B.
The API producer should be contacted to understand the change to existing functionality
C.
The API producer should be requested to run the old version in parallel with the new one
D.
The API client code ONLY needs to be changed if it needs to take advantage of new
features
The API client code ONLY needs to be changed if it needs to take advantage of new
features

In which layer of API-led connectivity, does the business logic orchestration reside?
A.
System Layer
B.
Experience Layer
C.
Process Layer
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 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
A company has created a successful enterprise data model (EDM). The company is
committed to building an application network by adopting modern APIs as a core enabler of
the company's IT operating model. At what API tiers (experience, process, system) should
the company require reusing the EDM when designing modern API data models?
A.
At the experience and process tiers
B.
At the experience and system tiers
C.
At the process and system tiers
D.
At the experience, process, and system tiers
At the process and system tiers
Explanation: Explanation Correct Answer: At the process and system tiers
*****************************************
>> Experience Layer APIs are modeled and designed exclusively for the end user's
experience. So, the data models of experience layer vary based on the nature and type of
such API consumer. For example, Mobile consumers will need light-weight data models to
transfer with ease on the wire, where as web-based consumers will need detailed data
models to render most of the info on web pages, so on. So, enterprise data models fit for
the purpose of canonical models but not of good use for experience APIs.
>> That is why, EDMs should be used extensively in process and system tiers but NOT in
experience tier.
Refer to the exhibit. An organization is running a Mule standalone runtime and has
configured Active Directory as the Anypoint Platform external Identity Provider. The organization does not have budget for other system components.
What policy should be applied to all instances of APIs in the organization to most
effecuvelyKestrict access to a specific group of internal users?
A.
Apply a basic authentication - LDAP policy; the internal Active Directory will be
configured as the LDAP source for authenticating users
B.
Apply a client ID enforcement policy; the specific group of users will configure their client applications to use their specific client credentials
C.
Apply an IP whitelist policy; only the specific users' workstations will be in the whitelist
D.
Apply an OAuth 2.0 access token enforcement policy; the internal Active Directory will be configured as the OAuth server
Apply a basic authentication - LDAP policy; the internal Active Directory will be
configured as the LDAP source for authenticating users
Explanation: Explanation
Correct Answer: Apply a basic authentication - LDAP policy; the internal Active Directory
will be configured as the LDAP source for authenticating users.
*****************************************
>> IP Whitelisting does NOT fit for this purpose. Moreover, the users workstations may not
necessarily have static IPs in the network.
>> OAuth 2.0 enforcement requires a client provider which isn't in the organizations system
components.
>> It is not an effective approach to let every user create separate client credentials and
configure those for their usage.
The effective way it to apply a basic authentication - LDAP policy and the internal Active
Directory will be configured as the LDAP source for authenticating users.

An eCommerce company is adding a new Product Details feature to their website, A customer will launch the product catalog page, a new Product Details link will appear by product where they can click to retrieve the product detail description. Product detail data is updated with product update releases, once or twice a year, Presently the database response time has been very slow due to high volume. What action retrieves the product details with the lowest response time, fault tolerant, and consistent data?
A. Select the product details from a database in a Cache scope and return them within the API response
B. Select the product details from a database and put them in Anypoint MQ; the Anypoint MO subseriber will receive the product details and return them within the API response
C. Use an object store to store and retrieve the product details originally read from a database and return them within the API response
D. Select the product details from a database and return them within the API response
True or False. We should always make sure that the APIs being designed and developed are self-servable even if it needs more man-day effort and resources.
A.
FALSE
B.
TRUE
TRUE
Explanation: Explanation
Correct Answer: TRUE
*****************************************
>> As per MuleSoft proposed IT Operating Model, designing APIs and making sure that
they are discoverable and self-servable is VERY VERY IMPORTANT and decides the
success of an API and its application network.
