An Order API must be designed that contains significant amounts of integration logic and
involves the invocation of the Product API.
The power relationship between Order API and Product API is one of "Customer/Supplier",
because the Product API is used heavily throughout the organization and is developed by a
dedicated development team located in the office of the CTO.
What strategy should be used to deal with the API data model of the Product API within the
Order API?


A.

Convince the development team of the Product API to adopt the API data model of the Order API such that the integration logic of the Order API can work with one consistent internal data model


B.

Work with the API data types of the Product API directly when implementing the integration logic of the Order API such that the Order API uses the same (unchanged) data types as the Product API


C.

Implement an anti-corruption layer in the Order API that transforms the Product API data
model into internal data types of the Order API


D.

Start an organization-wide data modeling initiative that will result in an Enterprise Data
Model that will then be used in both the Product API and the Order API





C.
  

Implement an anti-corruption layer in the Order API that transforms the Product API data
model into internal data types of the Order API



Explanation: Explanation
Correct Answer: Convince the development team of the product API to adopt the API data
model of the Order API such that integration logic of the Order API can work with one
consistent internal data model
*****************************************
Key details to note from the given scenario:
>> Power relationship between Order API and Product API is customer/supplier
So, as per below rules of "Power Relationships", the caller (in this case Order API) would
request for features to the called (Product API team) and the Product API team would need
to accomodate those requests.

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

An API implementation is updated. When must the RAML definition of the API also be updated?


A.

When the API implementation changes the structure of the request or response messages


B.

When the API implementation changes from interacting with a legacy backend system deployed on-premises to a modern, cloud-based (SaaS) system


C.

When the API implementation is migrated from an older to a newer version of the Mule runtime


D.

When the API implementation is optimized to improve its average response time





A.
  

When the API implementation changes the structure of the request or response messages



Explanation: Explanation
Correct Answer: When the API implementation changes the structure of the request or
response messages
*****************************************
>> RAML definition usually needs to be touched only when there are changes in the
request/response schemas or in any traits on API.
>> It need not be modified for any internal changes in API implementation like performance
tuning, backend system migrations etc

An online store's marketing team has noticed an increase in customers leaving online baskets without checking out. They suspect a technology issue is at the root cause of the baskets being left behind. They approach the Center for Enablement to ask for help identifying the issue. Multiple APIs from across all the layers of their application network are involved in the shopping application. Which feature of the Anypoint Platform can be used to view metrics from all involved APIs at the same time?


A. Custom dashboards


B. Built-in dashboards


C. Functional monitoring


D. API Manager





B.
  Built-in dashboards

Which layer in the API-led connectivity focuses on unlocking key systems, legacy systems, data sources etc and exposes the functionality?


A.

Experience Layer


B.

Process Layer


C.

System Layer





C.
  

System Layer



Explanation: Explanation
Correct Answer: System Layer

A System API is designed to retrieve data from a backend system that has scalability challenges. What API policy can best safeguard the backend system?


A.

IPwhitelist


B.

SLA-based rate limiting


C.

Auth 2 token enforcement


D.

Client ID enforcement





B.
  

SLA-based rate limiting



Explanation: Explanation
Correct Answer: SLA-based rate limiting
*****************************************
>> Client Id enforement policy is a "Compliance" related NFR and does not help in
maintaining the "Quality of Service (QoS)". It CANNOT and NOT meant for protecting the
backend systems from scalability challenges.
>> IP Whitelisting and OAuth 2.0 token enforcement are "Security" related NFRs and again
does not help in maintaining the "Quality of Service (QoS)". They CANNOT and are NOT
meant for protecting the backend systems from scalability challenges.
Rate Limiting, Rate Limiting-SLA, Throttling, Spike Control are the policies that are "Quality
of Service (QOS)" related NFRs and are meant to help in protecting the backend systems
from getting overloaded.

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 large company wants to implement IT infrastructure in its own data center, based on the corporate IT policy requirements that data and metadata reside locally. Which combination of Mule control plane and Mule runtime plane(s) meets the requirements?
