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





C.
  The Process APL uses the REST Connect Connector autogenerated in Exchange for the System API

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:

  • Automated Connector Generation:
  • Streamlined Integration:
  • Why Option C is Correct:
  • Explanation of Incorrect Options:
References:
For more information on using REST Connect Connectors and OAuth integration in MuleSoft, refer to the MuleSoft documentation on API Management and Connectors.

A client has several applications running on the Salesforce service cloud. The business requirement for integration is to get daily data changes from Account and Case Objects. Data needs to be moved to the client's private cloud AWS DynamoDB instance as a single JSON and the business foresees only wanting five attributes from the Account object, which has 219 attributes (some custom) and eight attributes from the Case Object. What design should be used to support the API/ Application data model?


A. Create separate entities for Account and Case Objects by mimicking all the attributes in SAPI, which are combined by the PAPI and filtered to provide JSON output containing 13 attributes.


B. Request client’s AWS project team to replicate all the attributes and create Account and Case JSON table in DynamoDB. Then create separate entities for Account and Case Objects by mimicking all the attributes in SAPI to transfer ISON data to DynamoD for respective Objects


C. Start implementing an Enterprise Data Model by defining enterprise Account and Case Objects and implement SAPI and DynamoDB tables based on the Enterprise Data Model,


D. Create separate entities for Account with five attributes and Case with eight attributes in SAPI, which are combined by the PAPI to provide JSON output containing 13 attributes.





D.
  Create separate entities for Account with five attributes and Case with eight attributes in SAPI, which are combined by the PAPI to provide JSON output containing 13 attributes.

A team is planning to enhance an Experience API specification, and they are following APIled connectivity design principles. What is their motivation for enhancing the API?


A. The primary API consumer wants certain kinds of endpoints changed from the Center for Enablement standard to the consumer system standard


B. The underlying System API is updated to provide more detailed data for several heavily used resources


C. An IP Allowlist policy is being added to the API instances in the Development and Staging environments


D. A Canonical Data Model is being adopted that impacts several types of data included in the API





D.
  A Canonical Data Model is being adopted that impacts several types of data included in the API

Explanation:
In API-led design, an Experience API is enhanced to improve how data is delivered to end-user applications. One primary reason to enhance an Experience API is when new data standards, such as a Canonical Data Model, are adopted. Here’s why:

  • Canonical Data Model (CDM):
  • Explanation of Correct Answer (D):
  • Explanation of Incorrect Options:
References:
For more details on the use of Canonical Data Models in API-led architecture, refer to MuleSoft’s guidelines on data standardization and Experience API 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





B.
  

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.

The application network is recomposable: it is built for change because it "bends but does
not break"


A.

TRUE


B.

FALSE





A.
  

TRUE



Explanation: *****************************************
>> Application Network is a disposable architecture.
>> Which means, it can be altered without disturbing entire architecture and its
components.
>> It bends as per requirements or design changes but does not break

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





C.
  

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.

An Anypoint Platform organization has been configured with an external identity provider (IdP) for identity management and client management. What credentials or token must be provided to Anypoint CLI to execute commands against the Anypoint Platform APIs?


A.

The credentials provided by the IdP for identity management


B.

The credentials provided by the IdP for client management


C.

An OAuth 2.0 token generated using the credentials provided by the IdP for client management


D.

An OAuth 2.0 token generated using the credentials provided by the IdP for identity management





A.
  

The credentials provided by the IdP for identity management



Explanation: Explanation
Correct Answer: The credentials provided by the IdP for identity management
*****************************************
Reference: https://docs.mulesoft.com/runtime-manager/anypoint-platformcli#
authentication
>> There is no support for OAuth 2.0 tokens from client/identity providers to authenticate
via Anypoint CLI. Only possible tokens are "bearer tokens" that too only generated using
Anypoint Organization/Environment Client Id and Secret from
https://anypoint.mulesoft.com/accounts/login. Not the client credentials of client provider.
So, OAuth 2.0 is not possible. More over, the token is mainly for API Manager purposes
and not associated with a user. You can NOT use it to call most APIs (for example
Cloudhub and etc) as per this Mulesoft Knowledge article.
>> The other option allowed by Anypoint CLI is to use client credentials. It is possible to
use client credentials of a client provider but requires setting up Connected Apps in client
management but such details are not given in the scenario explained in the question.
>> So only option left is to use user credentials from identify provider
