A developer is building a client application to invoke an API deployed to the STAGING
environment that is governed by a client ID enforcement policy.
What is required to successfully invoke the API?


A.

The client ID and secret for the Anypoint Platform account owning the API in the STAGING environment


B.

The client ID and secret for the Anypoint Platform account's STAGING environment


C.

The client ID and secret obtained from Anypoint Exchange for the API instance in the
STAGING environment


D.

A valid OAuth token obtained from Anypoint Platform and its associated client ID and
secret





C.
  

The client ID and secret obtained from Anypoint Exchange for the API instance in the
STAGING environment



Explanation: Explanation
Correct Answer: The client ID and secret obtained from Anypoint Exchange for the API
instance in the STAGING environment
*****************************************
>> We CANNOT use the client ID and secret of Anypoint Platform account or any individual
environments for accessing the APIs
>> As the type of policy that is enforced on the API in question is "Client ID Enforcment
Policy", OAuth token based access won't work.
Right way to access the API is to use the client ID and secret obtained from Anypoint
Exchange for the API instance in a particular environment we want to work on.

In an organization, the InfoSec team is investigating Anypoint Platform related data traffic. From where does most of the data available to Anypoint Platform for monitoring and alerting originate?


A.

From the Mule runtime or the API implementation, depending on the deployment model


B.

From various components of Anypoint Platform, such as the Shared Load Balancer, VPC, and Mule runtimes


C.

From the Mule runtime or the API Manager, depending on the type of data


D.

From the Mule runtime irrespective of the deployment model





D.
  

From the Mule runtime irrespective of the deployment model



Explanation: Explanation
Correct Answer: From the Mule runtime irrespective of the deployment model
*****************************************
>> Monitoring and Alerting metrics are always originated from Mule Runtimes irrespective
of the deployment model.
>> It may seems that some metrics (Runtime Manager) are originated from Mule Runtime
and some are (API Invocations/ API Analytics) from API Manager. However, this is
realistically NOT TRUE. The reason is, API manager is just a management tool for API
instances but all policies upon applying on APIs eventually gets executed on Mule
Runtimes only (Either Embedded or API Proxy).
>> Similarly all API Implementations also run on Mule Runtimes.
So, most of the day required for monitoring and alerts are originated fron Mule Runtimes
only irrespective of whether the deployment model is MuleSoft-hosted or Customer-hosted
or Hybrid.

A customer wants to monitor and gain insights about the number of requests coming in a given time period as well as to measure key performance indicators (response times, CPU utilization, number of active APIs).
Which tool provides these data insights?


A. Anypoint Monitoring


B. APT Manager


C. Runtime Alerts


D. Functional Monitoring





A.
  Anypoint Monitoring

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

Explanation:

Effect of Asset Version Update on API Autodiscovery:
Evaluating the Options:

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.

Refer to the exhibit.

Option A



Explanation: Explanation
Correct Answer: Ask the Marketing Department to interact with a mocking implementation
of the API using the automatically generated API Console.
*****************************************
As per MuleSoft's IT Operating Model:
>> API consumers need NOT wait until the full API implementation is ready.
>> NO technical test-suites needs to be shared with end users to interact with APIs.
>> Anypoint Platform offers a mocking capability on all the published API specifications to
Anypoint Exchange which also will be rich in documentation covering all details of API
functionalities and working nature.
>> No needs of arranging days of workshops with end users for feedback.
API consumers can use Anypoint Exchange features on the platform and interact with the
API using its mocking feature. The feedback can be shared quickly on the same to
incorporate any changes.

 

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.
