An API client calls one method from an existing API implementation. The API
implementation is later updated. What change to the API implementation would require the API client's invocation logic to also be updated?


A.

When the data type of the response is changed for the method called by the API client


B.

When a new method is added to the resource used by the API client


C.

When a new required field is added to the method called by the API client


D.

When a child method is added to the method called by the API client





C.
  

When a new required field is added to the method called by the API client



Explanation: Explanation
Correct Answer: When a new required field is added to the method called by the API client
*****************************************
>> Generally, the logic on API clients need to be updated when the API contract breaks.
>> When a new method or a child method is added to an API , the API client does not
break as it can still continue to use its existing method. So these two options are out.
>> We are left for two more where "datatype of the response if changed" and "a new
required field is added".
>> Changing the datatype of the response does break the API contract. However, the
question is insisting on the "invocation" logic and not about the response handling logic.
The API client can still invoke the API successfully and receive the response but the
response will have a different datatype for some field.
>> Adding a new required field will break the API's invocation contract. When adding a new
required field, the API contract breaks the RAML or API spec agreement that the API
client/API consumer and API provider has between them. So this requires the API client
invocation logic to also be updated.

A large organization with an experienced central IT department is getting started using MuleSoft. There is a project to connect a siloed back-end system to a new Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system. The Center for Enablement is coaching them to use API-led connectivity. What action would support the creation of an application network using API-led connectivity?


A. Invite the business analyst to create a business process model to specify the canonical data model between the two systems


B. Determine if the new CRM system supports the creation of custom: REST APIs, establishes 4 private network with CloudHub, and supports GAuth 2.0 authentication


C. To expedite this project, central IT should extend the CRM system and back-end systems to connect to one another using built in integration interfaces


D. Create a System API to unlock the data on the back-end system using a REST API





D.
  Create a System API to unlock the data on the back-end system using a REST API

Explanation:
For an organization starting with API-led connectivity to integrate a siloed back-end system with a new CRM, the following approach aligns with best practices and MuleSoft’s Center for Enablement (C4E) guidance:
API-led Connectivity: This model organizes APIs into distinct layers (System, Process, and Experience) to improve reusability, modularity, and manageability.

  • Step to Support Application Network:
  • Why Option D is Correct:
  • Explanation of Incorrect Options:

How are an API implementation, API client, and API consumer combined to invoke and process an API?


A.

The API consumer creates an API implementation, which receives API invocations from
an API such that they are processed for an API client


B.

The API client creates an API consumer, which receives API invocations from an API such that they are processed for an API implementation


C.

The ApI consumer creates an API client, which sends API invocations to an API such that they are processed by an API implementation


D.

The ApI client creates an API consumer, which sends API invocations to an API such that they are processed by an API implementation





C.
  

The ApI consumer creates an API client, which sends API invocations to an API such that they are processed by an API implementation



Explanation:
Explanation
Correct Answer: The API consumer creates an API client, which sends API invocations to
an API such that they are processed by an API implementation
*****************************************
Terminology:
>> API Client - It is a piece of code or program the is written to invoke an API
>> API Consumer - An owner/entity who owns the API Client. API Consumers write API
clients.
>> API - The provider of the API functionality. Typically an API Instance on API Manager
where they are managed and operated.
>> API Implementation - The actual piece of code written by API provider where the
functionality of the API is implemented. Typically, these are Mule Applications running on
Runtime Manager.

When can CloudHub Object Store v2 be used?


A. To store an unlimited number of key-value pairs


B. To store payloads with an average size greater than 15MB


C. To store information in Mule 4 Object Store v1


D. To store key-value pairs with keys up to 300 characters





D.
  To store key-value pairs with keys up to 300 characters

Explanation: CloudHub Object Store v2 is a managed key-value store provided by MuleSoft to support various use cases where temporary data storage is required. Here’s why Option D is correct:
Key Length Support: Object Store v2 allows storage of keys with a length of up to 300 characters, making it suitable for applications needing flexible and descriptive keys.
Limitations on Size:
Key-Value Limits: Object Store v2 is designed for moderate, transient storage needs, and does not support unlimited storage. Thus, Option A is incorrect.
Backward Compatibility: Object Store v2 does not support Mule 4 applications running Object Store v1. Option C is incorrect as Object Store v1 and v2 are distinct.

A Mule application implements an API. The Mule application has an HTTP Listener whose connector configuration sets the HTTPS protocol and hard-codes the port value. The Mule application is deployed to an Anypoint VPC and uses the CloudHub 1.0 Shared Load Balancer (SLB) for all incoming traffic. Which port number must be assigned to the HTTP Listener's connector configuration so that the Mule application properly receives HTTPS API invocations routed through the SLB?


A. 8082


B. 8092


C. 80


D. 443





B.
  8092

Explanation:
When using CloudHub 1.0’s Shared Load Balancer (SLB) for a Mule application configured with HTTPS in an Anypoint VPC, specific ports must be configured for the application to correctly route incoming traffic:

  • Port Requirement for SLB:
  • Why Option B is Correct:

Say, there is a legacy CRM system called CRM-Z which is offering below functions:
1. Customer creation
2. Amend details of an existing customer
3. Retrieve details of a customer
4. Suspend a customer


A.

Implement a system API named customerManagement which has all the functionalities
wrapped in it as various operations/resources


B.

Implement different system APIs named createCustomer, amendCustomer,
retrieveCustomer and suspendCustomer as they are modular and has seperation of concerns


C.

Implement different system APIs named createCustomerInCRMZ,
amendCustomerInCRMZ, retrieveCustomerFromCRMZ and suspendCustomerInCRMZ as
they are modular and has seperation of concerns





B.
  

Implement different system APIs named createCustomer, amendCustomer,
retrieveCustomer and suspendCustomer as they are modular and has seperation of concerns



Correct Answer: Implement different system APIs named createCustomer,
amendCustomer, retrieveCustomer and suspendCustomer as they are modular and has
seperation of concerns
*****************************************
>> It is quite normal to have a single API and different Verb + Resource combinations.
However, this fits well for an Experience API or a Process API but not a best architecture
style for System APIs. So, option with just one customerManagement API is not the best
choice here.
>> The option with APIs in createCustomerInCRMZ format is next close choice w.r.t
modularization and less maintenance but the naming of APIs is directly coupled with the
legacy system. A better foreseen approach would be to name your APIs by abstracting the
backend system names as it allows seamless replacement/migration of any backend
system anytime. So, this is not the correct choice too.
>> createCustomer, amendCustomer, retrieveCustomer and suspendCustomer is the right
approach and is the best fit compared to other options as they are both modular and same
time got the names decoupled from backend system and it has covered all requirements a
System API needs.

An online store's marketing team has noticed an increase in customers leaving online baskets without checking out. They suspect a technology issue is at the root cause of the baskets being left behind. They approach the Center for Enablement to ask for help identifying the issue. Multiple APIs from across all the layers of their application network are involved in the shopping application. Which feature of the Anypoint Platform can be used to view metrics from all involved APIs at the same time?


A. Custom dashboards


B. Built-in dashboards


C. Functional monitoring


D. API Manager





B.
  Built-in dashboards

Which of the following sequence is correct?


A.

API Client implementes logic to call an API >> API Consumer requests access to API >>
API Implementation routes the request to >> API


B.

API Consumer requests access to API >> API Client implementes logic to call an API >>
API routes the request to >> API Implementation


C.

API Consumer implementes logic to call an API >> API Client requests access to API >>
API Implementation routes the request to >> API


D.

API Client implementes logic to call an API >> API Consumer requests access to API >>
API routes the request to >> API Implementation





B.
  

API Consumer requests access to API >> API Client implementes logic to call an API >>
API routes the request to >> API Implementation



Explanation: Explanation
Correct Answer: API Consumer requests access to API >> API Client implementes logic to
call an API >> API routes the request to >> API Implementation
*****************************************
>> API consumer does not implement any logic to invoke APIs. It is just a role. So, the
option stating "API Consumer implementes logic to call an API" is INVALID.
>> API Implementation does not route any requests. It is a final piece of logic where
functionality of target systems is exposed. So, the requests should be routed to the API
implementation by some other entity. So, the options stating "API Implementation routes
the request to >> API" is INVALID
>> The statements in one of the options are correct but sequence is wrong. The sequence
is given as "API Client implementes logic to call an API >> API Consumer requests access
to API >> API routes the request to >> API Implementation". Here, the statements in the
options are VALID but sequence is WRONG.
>> Right option and sequence is the one where API consumer first requests access to API
on Anypoint Exchange and obtains client credentials. API client then writes logic to call an
API by using the access client credentials requested by API consumer and the requests will
be routed to API implementation via the API which is managed by API Manager
