Correct answer is Validation modules Is Number operation.

Mule 4 does not use filters anymore. The functionality provided by filters in Mule 3 can be achieved by using the Validation Module.

Correct answer is [[5, 10, 15, 20], 5]

Key thing to note here is that any changes made to payload in for each loop are not available outside for each scope where as variable value updated in for each loop is visible out side for each loop too.

In this example , sequence can be described as follows

1) Payload is set to the value [5, 10, 15, 20]

2) Variable is set to the value of 1

3) For each loop is executed four times and in each loop payload value is updated to append "Req" and variable is count is increased by 1

4) Once control comes out of for each , payload changes made within for each are not visible. Hence payload at this point of time is equal to payload available before entering for each loop which was  [5, 10, 15, 20]. Similarly variable value updated in for each loop is also available outside hence variable value is 5 as it was updated in loop.

5) Hence correct answer is [[5, 10, 15, 20], 5]

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 programming languages 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 because they are related to the entire message.

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

For non-Java collections, such as XML or JSON, use a DataWeave expression to split data. Use the Collection field for this purpose.

Application properties can be defined in .yaml or in .properties file.

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

Correct answer is Specify throttling , security and other policies

MuleSoft Doc Ref : https://docs.mulesoft.com/api-manager/2.x/api-gateway-capabilities-mule4

API Gateway is responsible for below functions.

1) Determine which traffic is authorized

2) Meter the traffic

3) Logs transaction

4) Apply throttling and other policies (Not specifying. These are specified in API Manager)

Option 3 is the only corect answer as it concatenates payload with String.

Below option wont work.

#["The payload is " ++ payload]

Concatenation function expects both arguments to be string. As the question says payload is json object , this will throw error while running it. You can try this in Anypoint Studio and you will get the same result which I mentioned.

hence correct answer is

The payload is: #[payload]

For such questions always look for Syntax:

I call it "Wrap the Map"

trains:

{(

When mapping array elements (JSON or JAVA) to XML, wrap the map operations in {(..)}

-{ } are defining the object

-( ) are transforming each element in the array as a key/value pair

Mule applications can be scaled vertically by changing worker size. Mule applications can be scaled horizontally by adding more workers.

First step in creating Modern API is to create an API specification and get feedback from stakeholders so that any future issues can be identified at early stage thereby reducing overall delivery time

Correct answer is as below. Attributes in the incoming xml payload are always accessed using @.Similarly *item is required as we have multiple items in the request

%dw 2.0

output application/csv

---

payload.sale.*item map ((value, index) -> {

index: index,

sale: value.@saleId,

itemName: value.desc,

itemPrice: (value.quantity) * (value.price),

item: value.@itemId

} )

Correct answer is 200.1234 as String {format: ".0#"} . Rest all options are not syntactically correct.

As dependency is not present in Mulesoft Maven repository, we need to install the dependency on computer's local Maven repository.

Correct answer is process layer as all the orchestration and transformation logic should be in process layer as per Mulesoft's recommended approach for API led connectivity.

API-led connectivity is a methodical way to connect data to applications through reusable and purposeful APIs. These APIs are developed to play a specific role – unlocking data from systems, composing data into processes, or delivering an experience.

What are the APIs that enable API-led connectivity?

API-led connectivity provides an approach for connecting and exposing assets. With this approach, rather than connecting things point-to-point, every asset becomes a managed API – a modern API, which makes it discoverable through self-service without losing control.

The APIs used in an API-led approach to connectivity fall into three categories:

System APIs – these usually access the core systems of record and provide a means of insulating the user from the complexity or any changes to the underlying systems. Once built, many users, can access data without any need to learn the underlying systems and can reuse these APIs in multiple projects.

Process APIs – These APIs interact with and shape data within a single system or across systems (breaking down data silos) and are created here without a dependence on the source systems from which that data originates, as well as the target channels through which that data is delivered.

Experience APIs – Experience APIs are the means by which data can be reconfigured so that it is most easily consumed by its intended audience, all from a common data source, rather than setting up separate point-to-point integrations for each channel. An Experience API is usually created with API-first design principles where the API is designed for the specific user experience in mind.

In this case both the flows can start without any error and requests can be received on both ports. Flow names httpListener1 can call other flow using HTTP request without any issues.

Hence correct answer is

The mule application start successfully

Web client requests can  be received at URI on port 2222 and on port 3333.

Lets check why other options are incorrect

1) The mule application fails to start. There is URL path conflict because both HTTP Listeners are configured with same path  ---- This is incorrect as port value is different in both listeners

2) The mule application start successfully. Web client requests can only be received at URI on port 2222 but not on port 3333  --- This is incorrect as there is no reason for not receiving requests on port 3333

3) The mule application fails to start because of the port binding conflict as HTTP request also use same port i.e. 3333 --- Port binding conflict will not happen in this case. It would have if both listener configurations would have been on same port . But that is not the case here.

This is a trick question.

You can call only flows from DataWeave using lookup function. Note that lookup function does not support calling subflows.

A subflow needs a parent context to inherit behaviors from such as exception handling, which a flow does not need

Hence correct answer is Not possible in Mule 4

Pick First is not valid type. Rest all are valid type of event processor.

Round Robin : https://docs.mulesoft.com/mule-runtime/4.3/round-robin

First Successful : https://docs.mulesoft.com/mule-runtime/4.3/first-successful

Correct answer is Not needed as dw::core module is included by default. We don't need to include it explicitly

Error in validation component will get processed by Processer level On Error Propagate block and then error will be rethrown which will get processed by flow level error handler which will set payload to "Error- main flow". Hence correct answer is Error - main flow

1) Request is received by HTTP listener

2) Try scope gets executed

3) The validator component in the Try scope creates an Error Object because the payload is not null.

4) The On Error Propagate handles the error. The payload is set to “Error – Try scope”

6) “Error – Try scope” is returned to the 'On Error Continue' block. Main flow execution stops. Payload is set to "Error - main flow"

7) “Error - main flow” is returned to the requestor in the body of the HTTP request. HTTP Status Code: 200

Correct answer is Products

Modern API has three features 1) Treated as products for easy consumption 2) Discoverable and accessible through self-service 3) Easily managed for security , scalability and performance

client-id-required enforces clients to add client_id and client_secret.

Please refer to below steps.

• Add a section called traits: at the root level to define query parameters:
• traits:
• - client-id-required:
• queryParameters:
• client_id:
• type: string
• client_secret:
• type: string
• 2) Reference the trait in each of the methods to specify that each of the methods require these query parameters. After each method in the RAML file, add is: [client-id-required]. For example:
• /users:
• get:
• is: [client-id-required]
• description: Gets a list of JSONPlaceholder users.

Entire event would be sent to each route in parallel.

Scatter-Gather works as follows :

- The Scatter-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 Mule event, which can be either the same Mule event without 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.

The correct answer is To avoid duplicate processing of records in a database.

If a watermark column is provided, the values taken from that column are used to filter the contents of the next poll, so that only rows with a greater watermark value are returned. If an ID column is provided, this component automatically verifies that the same row is not picked twice by concurrent polls.

Query parameters are a defined set of parameters attached to the end of a url. They are extensions of the URL that are used to help define specific content or actions based on the data being passed. To append query params to the end of a URL, a ‘?’ Is added followed immediately by a query parameter.

To add multiple parameters, an ‘&’ is added in between each.

Hence coming back to question, endpoint would return Patients with name as John and (and is very important here) surname as Bell

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

Correct answer is 0.1 vCores

MuleSoft Doc Ref : https://docs.mulesoft.com/runtime-manager/cloudhub-architecture#cloudhub-workers

CloudHub Workers

Workers are dedicated instances of Mule runtime engine that run your integration applications on CloudHub. The memory capacity and processing power of a worker depends on how you configure it at the application level.

Worker sizes have different compute, memory, and storage capacities. You can scale workers vertically by selecting one of the available worker sizes:

Option 1 is the only correct choice due to two reasons. 1) Concatenation is always with ++ sign and not with + sign which makes option 2 and 3 wrong 2) hearders can be accessed with attributes. headers and not with only headers which makes option 4 incorrect

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

MuleSoft Doc Ref : https://docs.mulesoft.com/studio/7.8/import-export-packages

Note that private flow has error scope defined as On Error Continue . So when error occurs in private flow , it is handled by this On Error Continue scope which sends success response back to main flow and does not throw back an error. So main continues normally and payload is set to Success - main flow.

Hence correct answer is Success - main flow

1) HTTP listener received request

2) The Flow Reference calls the child flow

3) The Is Number validator creates an Error Object because the payload isn’t an integer. Child Flow execution stops

#[error.description] = “payload is not a valid INTEGER value”

#[error.errorType] = VALIDATION:INVALID_NUMBER

4) The On Error Continue handles the errorThe payload is set to “Error – Sub Flow”

5) “Error – Sub Flow” is returned to the main flow as if the child flow was a success. The Set Payload is executed. The payload is reset to “Success – Finished Main Flow”

6) “Success – Main Flow” is returned to the requestor in the body of the HTTP request. HTTP Status Code: 200

As you can see, in the above example, because the error was caught by an On Error Continue scope in the child flow (RED in, GREEN out) when the Mule Message returns to the parent flow, the parent flow knows none-the-different that there was a failure because the on error continue returns a 200 success message. Note that because, to the mainFlow, the childFlow appeared to succeed, the processing of mainFlow resumed after the flow reference.

This kind of questions are best solved with filtering technique. Key thing to note here is XML attributes are always access by @ notation. So in this example orderId can be accessed as @OrderId which makes option 3 and option 4 false. Now difference in optin and option 2 is in mapping of lineItemPrice. Correct syntax to format a String in Numbse is value.price as Number. Hence option 2 is correct

* Watermark allows the poll scope to poll for new resources instead of getting the same resource over and over again.

* The database table must be ordered so that the “watermark functionality” can move effectively in the ordered list. Watermark stores the current/last picked up “record id.”

* If the Mule application is shut down, it will store the last picked up “record id” in the Java Object Store and the data will continue to exist in the file. This watermark functionality is valuable and enables developers to have increased transparency.

* Developers do not need to create code to handle caching; it is all configurable!

* There are two columns and both are unique but user_id can't guaranty sequence whereas date_time will always be in increasing order and table content can easily be ordered on the basis of last processed date_time.

So correct answer is: Set the watermark column to the date_time column

Root element is always required while creating XML response in DataWeave transformation

URI parameter (Path Param) is basically used to identify a specific resource or resources . For eg : the URL to get employee details on the basis of employeeID will be GET /employees/{employeeID} where employees is resource and {employeeID} is URI parameter. Hence option 1is the correct answer

Correct answer is ${training.host}

Correct answer is Add required headers to RAML specification and redeploy new API proxy

MuleSoft Doc Ref : https://docs.mulesoft.com/api-manager/2.x/tutorial-manage-an-api

Steps are as below :

Add the Required RAML Snippet

SLA-based rate limiting requires adding a RAML or OAS snippet to your API. This procedure demonstrates adding a RAML snippet.

Specify the client ID and secret as query parameters.

Add a section called traits: at the RAML root level to define query parameters:

traits:

- client-id-required:

queryParameters:

client_id:

type: string

client_secret:

type: string

Add the client-id-required trait to every method that requires these query parameters:

/users:

get:

is: [client-id-required]

description: Gets a list of JSONPlaceholder users.

Step 2 : Add the SLA Tier in API Manager

Step 3 : Apply the policy and redeploy

Correct syntax to use where clause is WHERE city = :city AND state = :state

This question validates knowledge on using dynamic queries in DB select operation.

Configure Dynamic Queries in the Select Operation

When you need to parameterize not only the WHERE clause but also parts of the query itself (for example, queries that compare tables that depend on a condition, or complex queries for which the project table columns need to vary), you can configure dynamic queries.

In the following example, you configure a dynamic query by using a full expression with a string in which the table depends on a variable $(vars.table). Although some of the query text is dynamic ("SELECT * FROM $(vars.table)), the WHERE clause still defines the WHERE condition using input parameters: in this case, WHERE name = :name.

In your Studio flow, select the Select operation.

In the operation configuration screen, set the SQL Query Text field to SELECT * FROM $(vars.table) WHERE name = :name.

Set the Input Parameters field to {'name' : payload}.

The following screenshot shows the configuration in Studio:

Graphical user interface, application Description automatically generated

Figure 3. Dynamic query configuration

In the XML editor, the  configuration looks like this:

• #["SELECT * FROM $(vars.table) WHERE name = :name"]
• #[{'name' : payload}]

You can apply input parameters only to parameters in a WHERE clause. To modify any other part of the query, use the DataWeave interpolation operator.

Correct answer is

%dw 2.0

DataWeave 2.0 functions are packaged in modules. Before you begin, note that DataWeave 2.0 is for Mule 4 apps. For Mule 3 apps, refer to DataWeave Operators in the Mule 3.9 documentation. For other Mule versions, you can use the version selector for the Mule Runtime table of contents.

Functions in the Core (dw::Core) module are imported automatically into your DataWeave scripts. To use other 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:

import dw::core::Strings

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

import * from dw::core::Strings

The way you import a module impacts the way you 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. For example, this import directive does not identify any functions to import from the String module, so it calls the pluralize function like this: Strings::pluralize("box").

Transform

%dw 2.0

import dw::core::Strings

output application/json

{ 'plural': Strings::pluralize("box") }

Web Services Description Language. WSDL is used to describe SOAP based web services

Option 1 is the correct syntax

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)
