API Exchange creates REST conenctor automtaically once API is published. Hence correct answer is Publish the API specification to Any point Exchange

Correct answer is A global element

Global error handlers are to be created in global element .

Quick note to remember here is Global error handlers come in to pictureonly when there are no error handlers specified as flow level.

Steps to create Global error handler

1) Click Global Elements to open Global Configuration Elements. Global Elements is located below the Studio canvas

2) In Global Configuration Elements,click Create to open the Choose Global Type dialog

Batch aggregator value is 3. Hence in first time it will print [“A”, “C”, “D”] and in next iteration it will print [ “E” ]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Correct answer is [ “E” ]

Correct answer is APP: API RESOURCE NOT FOUND

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1) A web client submits the request to the HTTP Listener.

2) The HTTP Request throws an "HTTP:NOT_FOUND" error, execution halts.

3) The On Error Propagate error Handler handles the error. In this case ,HTTP:NOT_FOUND error ismapped to custom error APP:API_RESOURCE_NOT_FOUND. This error processor sets payload to APP:API_RESOURCE_NOT_FOUND.

4) “APP:API_RESOURCE_NOT_FOUND. ” is the error message returned to the requestor in the body of the HTTP request with HTTP Status Code: 500

In case ofan error , batch job completes in flight steps and stops further processing.

MuleSoft Doc Ref : Handling Errors During Batch Job | MuleSoft Documentation

The default is all processing will stop but we can change it by Max Failed Record field.

General -> Max Failed Records: Mule has three options for handling a record-level error: Finish processing, Continue processing and Continue processing until the batch job accumulates a maximum number of failed records. This behavior can be controlled by Max Failed Records.

The default value is Zero which corresponds to Finish processing.

The value -1, corresponds to Continue processing.

The value +ve integer, corresponds to Continue processing until the batch job accumulates a maximum number of failed records

Correct answer is Select only Attach Project Sources only

You must keep the Attach Project Sources option selected to be able to import the packaged JAR file back into a Studio workspace.

Deselect the Include project modules and dependencies option.

This option skips bundling the actual modules and external dependencies required to run the Mule application in a Mule runtime engine, creating a lightweight JAR file package that does not include any dependencies specified in the Mule application’s pom.xml file.

The generated JAR file is not a functional deployable archive and cannot be deployed to a Mule runtime engine, but instead offers a way to archive only the source files that make up the Mule application. This is the same as using the -lightWeightPackage flag when packaging using the Mule Maven Plugin and is useful if you want to distribute your project to other Studio installations because it only keeps a reference to all its dependencies. When you import a lightweight package into Studio, all your dependencies are automatically downloaded

Correct answer is Change the method attributes value to "POST".

It can be fixed in either of the two ways as below.

1) Changing method attribute to POST in ClientRequestFlow

2) Setting allowedMethods as PUT in ShippingFlow (but doesn't fit as question mentions about changing ClientRequestFlow)

Entire event would be sent to each route in parallel.

Scatter-Gather works as follows :

- TheScatter-Gather component receives a Mule event and sends a reference of this Mule event to each processing route.

- Each of the processing routes starts executing in parallel. After all processors inside a route finish processing, the route returns a Muleevent, which can be either the same Mule eventwithout modifications or a new Mule event created by the processors in the route as a result of the modifications applied.

- After all processing routes have finished execution, the Scatter-Gather component creates a new Mule event that combines all resulting Mule events from each route, and then passes the new Mule event to the next component in the flow.

In this case as outbound call is made using HTTP: POST /child , all attributes will be replaced by this invocation. Hence query parameter will not be accessible at logger. Hence correct answer is option 2

Metadata is stored in application-types.xml flle located under src/main/resources.

Mule 4 applications contain an application-types.xml file, which is where metadata around your data types is stored. For example, if you createa new CSV type, that metadata will be added to this file. This new file is easy to share, commit, and merge when conflicts arise, which enables you to do more metadata-driven development.

MuleSoft Doc Ref : https://docs.mulesoft.com/mule-runtime/4.3/intro-studio#metadata-storage

For Each Scope

The For Each scope splits a payload into elements and processes them one by one through the components that you place in the scope. It is similar to a for-each/for loop code block in most programminglanguages and can process any collection, including lists and arrays. The collection can be any supported content type, such as application/json, application/java, or application/xml.

General considerations about the For Each scope:

By default, For Each tries to split the payload. If the payload is a simple Java collection, the For Each scope can split it without any configuration. The payload inside the For Each scope is each of the split elements. Attributes within the original message are ignored becausethey are related to the entire message.

For Each does not modify the current payload. The output payload is the same as the input.

Mule Doc Reference : https://docs.mulesoft.com/mule-runtime/4.3/for-each-scope-concept

PUT replaces the original version of the resource, whereas the PATCH method supplies a set of instructions to modify theresource

Below are the Key performance indicators (KPIs), to measure and track the and success of the C4E and its activities, as well as thegrowth and health of the application network. Most of the metrics can be extracted automatically, through REST APIs, from Anypoint Platform.

• # of assets published to Anypoint Exchange

• # of interactions with Anypoint Exchange assets

• # of APIs managedby Anypoint Platform

• # of System APIs managed by Anypoint Platform

• # of API clients registered for access to APIs

• # of API implementations deployed to Anypoint Platform

• # of API invocations

• # or fraction of lines of code covered by automated tests in CI/CD pipeline

• Ratio of info/warning/critical alerts to number of API invocations

Correct answer is Creates a mock service for an API

API Notebook is an open source, shareable web application for API documentation, interactive API tutorial and example generatation, and a client for your API endpoints. Using API Notebook, you can make requests and quickly transform the responses into readable format. However it cannot be used to mock service for an API.

MuleSoft Doc Ref : https://docs.mulesoft.com/api-manager/1.x/api-notebook-concept

* To use custom modules, you need to import the module or functions you want to use by adding the import directive to the head of your DataWeave script, for example:

1) Does not identify any functions to import from the String module:

import dw::core::Strings

2) To identify a specific function to import from the String module:

import camelize, capitalize from dw::core::Strings

3) To import all functions from the String module:

import * from dw::core::Strings

The way you import a module impacts the wayyou need to call its functions from a DataWeave script. If the directive does not list specific functions to import or use * from to import all functions from a function module, you need to specify the module when you call the function from your script.

*In given scenario, it's mentioned to import all of the WebStore.dwl

So correct answer is:

Emptyarray is returned when no rows are matched.

MuleSoft Doc Ref : https://docs.mulesoft.com/db-connector/1.9/database-connector-select

Correct Answer: Response body: "Error" Default response status code: 200.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1) Payload is successfully set to “Success – Started Flow”

2) When HTTP Request throws an error, execution halts

#[error.description] = “ABC"

#[error.errorType] = "XYZ"

3) The On Error Continue scope handles the error. When On Error Continue scope is invoked, all the processors in error block are executed and success response is sent back to the client with payload which is set in error flow. In this case payload is set to "Error" value in error block.

4) “Error” is returned to the requestor in the body of the HTTP request with HTTP Status Code: 200 as On error continue always sendssuccess error code.

QUESTIONNO: 219

A Mule project contains a DataWeave module file WebStore dvA that defines a function named loginUser The module file is located in the projects src/main/resources/libs/dw folder

What is correct DataWeave code to import all of the WebStore.dwl file's functions and then call the loginUser function for the login "cindy.park@example.com"?

A)

B)

C)

D)

A. Option A

B. Option B

C. Option C

D. Option D

Answer: D

Only one of the routes in the Choice router executes, meaning that the first expression that evaluates to true triggers that route1 execution and the others are not checked. If none of the expressions are true, then thedefault route executes. Hence only Route1 will be executed as it is the first expression. hence output of logger is Route1.

MuleSoft Doc Ref : https://docs.mulesoft.com/mule-runtime/4.3/choice-router-concept

The Choice router dynamically routes messages through a flow according to a set of DataWeave expressions that evaluate message content. Each expression is associated with a different routing option. The effect is to add conditional processing to a flow, similar to an if/then/else code block in most programming languages.

Only one of the routes in the Choice router executes, meaning that the first expression that evaluates to true triggers that route’s execution and the others are not checked. If none of the expressions are true, then the default route executes.

Option 1 is the correct syntax

Correct answer is Request access to the API in Anypoint Exchange. This way we can get clientId and Client secret which we can use to access the API

The List operation returns an array of messages in which: Each message holds the file’s content in its payload. The file’s attributes section carries the file’s metadata (such as name, creation time, and size). The payload is empty if the element is a folder.

Correct answer is as below. In this case address will be stored in a variable. Hence payload will not be overwritten and will contain order details

{

orderkey: "payload.order",

addresskey: "vars.address"

}

Correct answer is */status as it is the correct way to use wildcards while configuring path value in HTTP listener

Correct answer is 8 as events are processed in parallel in case of scatter gather router

Flow Reference Component

Flow Reference routes the Mule event to another flow orsubflow, executes all processors in the referenced flow, and then routes the event back within the same Mule application. The following diagram shows the order of processing when one flow references another:

When the main flow is triggered, the Muleevent travels through and executes the flow until the event reaches the Flow Reference. The event then travels through and executes the referenced flow from beginning to end, and then returns to the main flow.

This process enables you to treat the entire referenced flow like a single component in your current flow.

This question validates you knowledge on Batch Processing. Before we analyze the question , lets revise a bit about batchfilters.

Batch Filters

You can apply one or more filters as attributes to any number of batch steps.Imagine a batch job whose first batch step checks if a Salesforce contact exists for a record, and a second batch step that updates each existing Salesforce contact with new information. You can apply a filter to the second batch step to ensure it only processes records that didn’t fail during the first batch step.By having batch steps accept only some records for processing, you streamline the batch job sothe Mule runtime engine can focus only on the relevant data for a particular batch step.

A batch step uses two attributes to filter records:

acceptExpression

acceptPolicy

Each batch step can accept one acceptExpression and one acceptPolicy attributes to filter records.

Use the acceptExpression attribute to process only records that evaluate to true; if the record evaluates to false, the batch step skips the record and sends it to the next one. In other words, the records with an accept expression that resolves to false are the ones that Mule filters out.

The example below filters out all records where the age is less than 21; the batch step does not process those records.

21]">

Mule Ref Doc : Refining Batch StepsProcessing | MuleSoft Documentation

As we are clear with above concepts , now lets understand this solution step by step.

1) Batch Step (Less than 50)

Accept expression for this batch step is less than 50. Hence elements which will go in this batch step are amount value 40 and 2. Hence output of logger in first batch step is

{amount=140}

{amount=102}

2) Batch Step (Greater than 20)

Accept condition for this batch step is greater than 20. Note that input amount values for this batch step are 100 , 140 and102 (last two values have been updated in batch step less than 50)

As all values satisfy this condition out put of second logger is

{step2amount=100}

{step2amount=140}

{step2amount=102}

Hence correct answer to this question is

{amount=140}

{amount=102}

{step2amount=100}

{step2amount=140}

{step2amount=102}

2) Batch Step (Greater than 20)

Accept condition for this batch step is greater than 20. Note that input amount values for this batch step are 100 , 140 and 102 (last two values have been updated inbatch step less than 50)

As all values satisfy this condition out put of second logger is

{step2amount=100}

{step2amount=140}

{step2amount=102}

Hence correct answer to this question is

{amount=140}

{amount=102}

{step2amount=100}

{step2amount=140}

{step2amount=102}
