Salesforce-MuleSoft-Developer-I Salesforce Certified MuleSoft Developer (Mule-Dev-201) Question and Answers

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

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

Setting Breakpoints

To set breakpoints, right-click a building block, then select Toggle Breakpoint.

Studio applies a red dot to the building block’s icon on the canvas.

When you run your application in Debug mode, Studio stops the flow execution at the breakpoint you have set, allowing you to check the Mule Event content in the Mule Debugger View.

The First Successful router iterates through a list of configured processing routes until one of the routes executessuccessfully. This is sequential execution. In all other options mentioned in the question ,we can achieve parallel execution.

The flow can be described asbelow. 1) First HTTP POST requets is made in which paylaod is set to 1 and it gets returned to our mail flow. 2) Second call is initiated for JMS Publish Consume JMS: num1 which add 1 to the payload which makes it as 2. Note that pubih consume is a synchronous operation. Hence paylaod is returned to main flow. 3) Third call is initiated for JMS Publish JMS: num2 which add 1 to the payload . Note that pubih is asynchronous operation. Hence paylaod is never returned to main flow. So payload in main flow is still 2. 4) Finally Set Payload increments payload by 1 making payload as 3 which is returned by the flow. Hence option 3 is the correct answer.

Correct answer is Configure the correct JDBC driver as error message suggests the same

Causedby:java.sql.SQLException:Errortrying to load driver:com.mysql.jdbc.Driver:Cannotloadclass'com.mysql.jdbc.Driver':[

Class'com.mysql.jdbc.Driver'hasnopackagemappingforregion'domain/default/app/mule_app'.,

Cannotloadclass'com.mysql.jdbc.Driver':[

APIKIt Creates a separate flow for each HTTP method

This is a trcik question. On complete phase pyalod consists of summary of records processed which gives insight on which records failed or passed. Hence option 4 is correct answer

MuleSoft Documentation Reference : https://docs.mulesoft.com/mule-runtime/4.3/batch-processing-concept#on-complete

This is a trick question.

You can callonly 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

Option1 is correct syntax to configure HTTP Listener endpoint

Correct answer is /accounts?account_type=retail&industry=finance

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 helpdefine 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.

MuleSoft Documentation Reference : https://docs.mulesoft.com/db-connector/1.9/database-connector-select

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

Cloudhub exposeservices on port 8081 and override value in http.port with this one .

Sample log in Runtime Manager is below

21:15:53.148 08/08/2021 Worker-0 ArtifactDeployer.start.01 INFO

Listening for connections on 'http://0.0.0.0:8081 '

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 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"

}

File is not updated when FTP read operations is performed.

MuleSoft Doc Ref : https://docs.mulesoft.com/file-connector/1.3/file-read

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

-{ } are defining the object

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

By default, Debugger listens for incoming TCP connections on localhost port 6666 You can change this in a project's run configuration.

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

Correct answer is an operation. For each method of the RAML specification , REST connect module provide an operation.

Please refer to the belowscreenshot.

Correct answer is Nothing needs to be changed in the other APIs or their associated applications

This is the benefit of havingseparate interface layer. As there are no changes to interface , no changes are required on the API's which consumes this API in context

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 wrong2) hearders can be accessed with attributes. headers and not with only headers which makes option 4 incorrect

Variables are stored under Mule event. Please refer to below image for the hierarchy .

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.

Scatter-Gather Router

The Scatter-Gather component is arouting event processor that processes a Mule event through different parallel processing routes that contain different event processors. Each route receives a reference to the Mule event and executes a sequence of one or more event processors. Each of these routes uses a separate thread to execute the event processors, and the resulting Mule event can be either the same Mule event without modifications or a new Mule event with its own payload, attributes, and variables. The Scatter-Gather component then combines the Mule events returned by each processing route into a new Mule event that is passed to the next event processor only after every route completes successfully.

The Scatter-Gather component executes each route in parallel, not sequentially. Parallel execution of routes can greatly increase the efficiency of your Mule application and may provide more information than sequential processing.

MuleSoft Doc Ref : https://docs.mulesoft.com/api-manager/2.x/policy-mule3-tutorial-manage-an-api#to-add-the-tier

Stepsto create SLA Tier are as follows:

1) In API Manager, in API Administration, click a version.

2) Check that the API supports resource-level policies: On the API version details page, in Status, click Configure Endpoint, and check that Type is RAML.

3) Choose the SLA Tiers, and click Add SLA Tier. Set up limit on SLA tier

*RAML file contains lot of information that could be considered as "not API-describing". Sort of "economy-class" members.

Equally important, but not necessarily part of the main RAML file.

* Through !includes, RAML allows us to build file-distributed API definitions, which is not only useful to encourage code reuse but also improves readability.

* We can create RAML fragments with such code and then include them in main RAML project using !include like:

types:

Book: !include bookDataType.raml and

examples:

input: !include bookExample.raml

Correct Answer: D

An object store is a facility for storing objects in or across Mule applications. Mule runtime engine (Mule) uses object stores to persist data for eventual retrieval. Internally, Mule uses objectstores in various filters, routers, and other message processors that need to store states between messages.

Object stores are available in all deployment targets. If you deploy your application to CloudHub, you can also use Object Store V2.

Correct answer is Key/value pair in Object store

MuleSoft Documentation reference : https://docs.mulesoft.com/mule-runtime/4.3/mule-object-stores#use-cases

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

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 isresponsible 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)

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

vars: Keyword for accessing a variable, for example, through aDataWeave expression in a Mule component, such as the Logger, or from an Input or Output parameter of an operation. If the name of your variable is myVar, you can access it like this: vars.myVar

Hence correct answer is Account Type: #[vars.accountType]

Correctanswer 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.

Debugger can be used to debug applications to see event data movine from one flow to other

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

You can choose Attach Project Sources to include metadata that Studio requires to reimport the deployable file as an open Mule project into your workspace. You must keep the Attach Project Sources option selected to be able to import the packaged JAR file back into a Studio workspace. But requirement here is to create smallest deployable archive that will successfully deploy to Cloudhub. Hence we can ignore this option.

We need to select Include project module and dependencies

As actual modules and external dependencies required to run the Mule application in a Mule runtime engine

Hence correct answer is

Select only below option 2) Include project module and dependencies

MuleSoft Doc Ref :https://docs.mulesoft.com/studio/7.5/import-export-packages#exporting-a-studio-project-to-a-deployable-mule-application

Its primary function is to design and develop fully functional Mule applications in a hosted development environment.

Scatter-Gather sends the event to each routes concurrently. Hence both route in this example will start in parallel. So total time to complete processing is 40 seconds

The Scatter-Gather component is a routing event processor thatprocesses a Mule event through different parallel processing routes that contain different event processors. Each route receives a reference to the Mule event and executes a sequence of one or more event processors. Each of these routes uses a separate thread to execute the event processors, and the resulting Mule event can be either the same Mule event without modifications or a new Mule event with its own payload, attributes, and variables. The Scatter-Gather component then combines the Mule events returned by each processing route into a new Mule event that is passed to the next event processor only after every route completes successfully.

The Scatter-Gather component executes each route in parallel, not sequentially. Parallel execution of routes can greatly increase the efficiency of your Mule application and may provide more information than sequential processing.

C4E does not get directly involved in projects.

Correct answer is Merges elements of two lists (arrays) into a single list

MuleSoft Doc Reference : https://docs.mulesoft.com/mule-runtime/4.3/dw-core-functions-zip

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

POM.xml contains info about the project and configurationn details used by Maven to build the project

Sequence can be described as follows.

* When web client sends the request , it sends payload as Blue (mentioned inquestion)

* In first iteration this will go to default choice , which sets payload to Red

* Via default route , flow will call itself with payload as Red

* In second iteration , as payload is Red , it will go to first route in choice router which will setpayload to Blk and second iteration will end returning back payload as Blk to first iteration.

* This Blk will be again set to payload and first iteration will end returning back response as Blk
