A company deploys Mule applications with default configurations through Runtime Manager to customer-hosted Mule runtimes. Each Mule application is an API implementation that exposes RESTful interfaces to API clients. The Mule runtimes are managed by the MuleSoft-hosted control plane. The payload is never used by any Logger components. When an API client sends an HTTP request to a customer-hosted Mule application, which metadata or data (payload) is pushed to the MuleSoft-hosted control plane?


A. Only the data


B. No data


C. The data and metadata


D. Only the metadata





D.
  Only the metadata

The asset version 2.0.0 of the Order API is successfully published in Exchange and configured in API Manager with the Autodiscovery API ID correctly linked to the API implementation, A new GET method is added to the existing API specification, and after updates, the asset version of the Order API is 2.0.1. What happens to the Autodiscovery API ID when the new asset version is updated in API Manager?


A. The API ID changes, but no changes are needed to the API implementation for the new asset version in the API Autediscovery global element because the API ID is automatically updated


B. The APL ID changes, so the API implementation must be updated with the latest API ID for the new asset version in the API Autodiscovery global element


C. The APLID does not change, so no changes to the APT implementation are needed for the new asset version in the API Autodiscovery global element


D. The APL ID does not change, but the API implementation must be updated in the AP] Autodiscovery global element to indicate the new asset version 2.0.4





C.
  The APLID does not change, so no changes to the APT implementation are needed for the new asset version in the API Autodiscovery global element

4A developer for a transportation organization is implementing exactly one processing functionality in a Reservation Mule application to process and store passenger records. This Reservation application will be deployed to multiple CloudHub workers/replicas. It is possible that several external systems could send duplicate passenger records to the Reservation application.
An appropriate storage mechanism must be selected to help the Reservation application process each passenger record exactly once as much as possible. The selected storage mechanism must be shared by all the CloudHub workers/replicas in order to synchronize the state information to assist attempting exactly once processing of each passenger record by the deployed Reservation Mule application.
Which type of simple storage mechanism in Anypoint Platform allows the Reservation Mule application to update and share data between the CloudHub workers/replicas exactly once, with minimal development effort?


A. Persistent Object Store


B. Runtime Fabric Object Store


C. Non-persistent Object Store


D. In-memory Mule Object Store





A.
  Persistent Object Store


A set of tests must be performed prior to deploying API implementations to a staging
environment. Due to data security and access restrictions, untested APIs cannot be
granted access to the backend systems, so instead mocked data must be used for these
tests. The amount of available mocked data and its contents is sufficient to entirely test the
API implementations with no active connections to the backend systems. What type of
tests should be used to incorporate this mocked data?


A.

Integration tests


B.

Performance tests


C.

Functional tests (Blackbox)


D.

Unit tests (Whitebox)





D.
  

Unit tests (Whitebox)



Explanation: Explanation
Correct Answer: Unit tests (Whitebox)
*****************************************
Reference: https://docs.mulesoft.com/mule-runtime/3.9/testing-strategies
As per general IT testing practice and MuleSoft recommended practice, Integration and
Performance tests should be done on full end to end setup for right evaluation. Which
means all end systems should be connected while doing the tests. So, these options are
OUT and we are left with Unit Tests and Functional Tests.
As per attached reference documentation from MuleSoft:
Unit Tests - are limited to the code that can be realistically exercised without the need to
run it inside Mule itself. So good candidates are Small pieces of modular code, Sub Flows,
Custom transformers, Custom components, Custom expression evaluators etc.
Functional Tests - are those that most extensively exercise your application configuration.
In these tests, you have the freedom and tools for simulating happy and unhappy paths.
You also have the possibility to create stubs for target services and make them success or
fail to easily simulate happy and unhappy paths respectively.
As the scenario in the question demands for API implementation to be tested before
deployment to Staging and also clearly indicates that there is enough/ sufficient amount of
mock data to test the various components of API implementations with no active
connections to the backend systems, Unit Tests are the one to be used to incorporate this

An API implementation returns three X-RateLimit-* HTTP response headers to a requesting API client. What type of information do these response headers indicate to the API client?


A.

The error codes that result from throttling


B.

A correlation ID that should be sent in the next request


C.

The HTTP response size


D.

The remaining capacity allowed by the API implementation





D.
  

The remaining capacity allowed by the API implementation



Explanation: Explanation
Correct Answer: The remaining capacity allowed by the API implementation.

An API is protected with a Client ID Enforcement policy and uses the default configuration. Access is requested for the client application to the API, and an approved contract now exists between the client application and the API. How can a consumer of this API avoid a 401 error "Unauthorized or invalid client application credentials"?


A. Send the obtained token as a header in every call


B. Send the obtained: client_id and client_secret in the request body


C. Send the obtained clent_id and clent_secret as URI parameters in every call


D. Send the obtained clent_id and client_secret in the header of every API Request call





C.
  Send the obtained clent_id and clent_secret as URI parameters in every call

Explanation:
When using the Client ID Enforcement policy with default settings, MuleSoft expects the client_id and client_secret to be provided in the URI parameters of each request. This policy is typically used to control and monitor access by validating that each request has valid credentials. Here’s how to avoid a 401 Unauthorized error:

Explanation: Explanation
Correct Answer: XML over HTTP
*****************************************
>> API-led connectivity and Application Networks urge to have the APIs on HTTP based
protocols for building most effective APIs and networks on top of them.
>> The HTTP based APIs allow the platform to apply various varities of policies to address
many NFRs
>> The HTTP based APIs also allow to implement many standard and effective
implementation patterns that adhere to HTTP based w3c rules

What is true about automating interactions with Anypoint Platform using tools such as Anypoint Platform REST APIs, Anypoint CU, or the Mule Maven plugin?


A.

Access to Anypoint Platform APIs and Anypoint CU can be controlled separately through the roles and permissions in Anypoint Platform, so that specific users can get access to Anypoint CLI white others get access to the platform APIs


B.

Anypoint Platform APIs can ONLY automate interactions with CloudHub, while the Mule Maven plugin is required for deployment to customer-hosted Mule runtimes


C.

By default, the Anypoint CLI and Mule Maven plugin are NOT included in the Mule runtime, so are NOT available to be used by deployed Mule applications


D.

API policies can be applied to the Anypoint Platform APIs so that ONLY certain LOBs have access to specific functions





C.
  

By default, the Anypoint CLI and Mule Maven plugin are NOT included in the Mule runtime, so are NOT available to be used by deployed Mule applications



Explanation: Explanation
Correct Answer: By default, the Anypoint CLI and Mule Maven plugin are NOT included in
the Mule runtime, so are NOT available to be used by deployed Mule applications
*****************************************
>> We CANNOT apply API policies to the Anypoint Platform APIs like we can do on our
custom written API instances. So, option suggesting this is FALSE.
>> Anypoint Platform APIs can be used for automating interactions with both CloudHub
and customer-hosted Mule runtimes. Not JUST the CloudHub. So, option opposing this is
FALSE.
>> Mule Maven plugin is NOT mandatory for deployment to customer-hosted Mule
runtimes. It just helps your CI/CD to have smoother automation. But not a compulsory
requirement to deploy. So, option opposing this is FALSE.
>> We DO NOT have any such special roles and permissions on the platform to separately
control access for some users to have Anypoint CLI and others to have Anypoint Platform
APIs. With proper general roles/permissions (API Owner, Cloudhub Admin etc..), one can
use any of the options (Anypoint CLI or Platform APIs). So, option suggesting this is
FALSE.
Only TRUE statement given in the choices is that - Anypoint CLI and Mule Maven plugin
are NOT included in the Mule runtime, so are NOT available to be used by deployed Mule
applications.
Maven is part of Studio or you can use other Maven installation for development.
CLI is convenience only. It is one of many ways how to install app to the runtime.
These are definitely NOT part of anything except your process of deployment or
automation.
