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

Choice Router

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 routingoption. 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 thatroute’s execution and the others are not checked. If none of the expressions are true, then the default route executes.

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

With respect to above information ,

Option 1 is the correct syntax as others are incorrect because of below reasons

* Single = is not the correct syntax to validate the condition. It should be ==

* If keyword is not required in when condition.

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.

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)

Transform Message Add write_date is coverting payload in JSON format and same JSON payload is avaialble to file write processor. However, if the payload is a different format (for example, not CSV) , you can place the transformation inside the Write operation to generate content that will be written without producing a side effect on the message in transit. This is not done in this case. By default, the connector writes whatever is in the message payload. Hence JSON payload will be written to file.

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.

File is not updated when FTP read operations is performed.

Attributes are replaced with new attributes from the HTTP Request response.

Attributes include everything apart from Payload/body. For ex: Headers, query parameters, URI parameters.

So, when outbound HTTP request is made, new attributes need to passthe outbound HTTP request and old attributes are replaced.

I have created below diagram to make it easy for you to understand:

lookup(String,Any, Number)

This function enables you to execute a flow within a Mule app and retrieve the resulting payload.

It works in Mule apps that are running on Mule Runtime version 4.1.4 and later.

Similar to the Flow Reference component (recommended), the lookup function enables you to execute another flow within your app and to retrieve the resulting payload. It takes the flow’s name and an input payload as parameters. For example, lookup("anotherFlow", payload) executes a flow named anotherFlow.

Correct answeris

lookup( "createCustomerObject", {first: "Aice, last: "Green"})

MuleSoft Documentation Reference : https://docs.mulesoft.com/mule-runtime/4.3/dw-mule-functions-lookup

Correct answer is vars."customer"."firstName"

Please note that you can also access firstName using this syntax vars.customer.firstName.

Mule Ref Doc : Variables in Mule Apps | MuleSoft Documentation

Correct answer is as below as concatenation operation worksonly with string and not with the objects. In this case payload is object.

"You called the function '++' with these arguments:

1: String ("INFO")

2: Object ({student: {name: "Anay" as String {class: "java.lang.String"},age

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

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

Correct answer is System layer

System APIs provide a means for insulating the data consumers from the complexity or changes to the underlying backend systems.

MuleSoft recommends three-layered approach to API-led connectivity, highlighting the three layers:

* System APIs

* Process APIs

* Experience APIs

System APIs are the core systems of record underlying core systems of record (e.g. ERPs, key customer and billing systems, databases, etc.). Process APIs allow you to define a common process which the organization can share, and these APIs perform specific functions, provide access to non-central data, and may be built by either Central IT or Line of Business IT. And finally, the 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.

The three-layered structure allows for a seamless flow of data from systems of record to new experiences, and allows for reusability of assets rather than point to point connections. This approach provides a distributed and tailored approach to architecture, greater flexibility through loose coupling, and deeper operational visibility into what is being built.

* When a client application is registered in Anypoint Platform, a pair of credentials consisting of a client ID and clientsecret is generated.

* When the client application requests access to an API, a contract is created between the application and that API.

* An API that is protected with a Client ID Enforcement policy is accessible only to applications that have an approved contract.

Correct answer is Mule runtime

DataWeave is the MuleSoft expression language for accessing and transforming data that travels through a Mule app. DataWeave is tightly integrated with the Mule runtime engine, which runs the scripts and expressions in your Mule app.

Mule Doc Reference : https://docs.mulesoft.com/mule-runtime/4.3/dataweave

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 Attributes.

Query parameters , URI parameters and headers are some of examples which are part of attributes.

To include property. To keep the API definition concise, you can include external content, such as documentation, schemas, and frequently used patterns outside the definition itself. Theparser interprets !include as if the content of the externally-hosted file or a URL were declared in-line.

To use the fragments in RAML you have to include the exact path(copy the path) of that fragment you want to use as shown below

Option 3 is the correct as correct syntax is

examples: !include examples/StudentExample.raml

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 '

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

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.

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

Correct answer is A global element

When we create a configuration file , that file needs to added as Global Configuration file in Global element. A global element is a reusable object containing parameters that any number of elements in a flow can share. You reference a global element from Anypoint Connectors or componentsin your Mule application

Correct answer is MAJOR

MAJOR version when you make incompatible API changes, MINOR version when you add functionality in a backwards compatible manner, and PATCH version when you make backwards compatible bug fixes.

For details refer to this documentation : https://semver.org/

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

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

Correct answer is as below as it follows the correct syntax.

http:

basepath:"api"

host:"localhost"

port:"8081"

Mule Doc Reference : https://docs.mulesoft.com/mule-runtime/4.3/mule-app-properties-to-configure

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 queryparameters. 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.

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 eachelement in the array as a key/value pair

Core (dw::Core) This module contains core DataWeave functions for data transformations. It is automatically imported into any DataWeave script.

Emptyarray is returned when no rows are matched.

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 scopewhich 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 Referencecalls 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 OnError 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.

Correct answer isArray.

Flatten turns a set of subarrays (such as [ [1,2,3], [4,5,[6]], [], [null] ]) into a single, flattened array (such as [ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, [6], null ]).

This example defines three arrays of numbers, creates another array containing those three arrays, and then uses the flatten function to convert the array of arrays into a single array with all values.

Source

%dw 2.0

output application/json

var array1 = [1,2,3]

var array2 = [4,5,6]

var array3 = [7,8,9]

var arrayOfArrays = [array1, array2, array3]

---

flatten(arrayOfArrays)

Output

[ 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 ]

Correct answer is The city is #[payload.City]

Answer can get confused with the option #["The city is" ++ payload.City] But note that this option will not print the space between is and city name. This will print The city isPune

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

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.

Mule Ref Doc : https://docs.mulesoft.com/mule-runtime/4.3/flowref-about

Correct answer is

payload

quantityvar

colorquery param

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

The HTTP 415 Unsupported Media Type client error response codeindicates that the server refuses to accept the request because the payload format is in an unsupported format. The format problem might be due to the request's indicated Content-Type or Content-Encoding , or as a result of inspecting the data directly. Asper RAML input is expected in application/xml.

Hence correct answer is Set a request header with the name Content-Type to a

Option 2 is the correct answer as /api/* accespts everything starting with /api/
