1. Question #1

   Mule application is deployed to Customer Hosted Runtime. Asynchronous logging was implemented to improved throughput of the system. But it was observed over the period of time that few of the important exception log messages which were used to rollback transactions are not working as expected causing huge loss to the Organization. Organization wants to avoid these losses. Application also has constraints due to which they cant compromise on throughput much. What is the possible option in this case?

   • A. Logging needs to be changed from asynchronous to synchronous
   • B. External log appender needs to be used in this case
   • C. Persistent memory storage should be used in such scenarios
   • D. Mixed configuration of asynchronous or synchronous loggers should be used to log exceptions via synchronous way

2. Question #2

   A trading company handles millions of requests a day. Due to nature of its business, it requires excellent performance and reliability within its application. For this purpose, company uses a number of event-based API's hosted on various mule clusters that communicate across a shared message queue sitting within its network. Which method should be used to meet the company's requirement for its system?

   • A. XA transactions and XA connected components
   • B. JMS transactions
   • C. JMS manual acknowledgements with a reliability pattern
   • D. VM queues with reliability pattern

3. Question #3

   A mule application is being designed to perform product orchestration. The Mule application needs to join together the responses from an inventory API and a Product Sales History API with the least latency. To minimize the overall latency. What is the most idiomatic (used for its intended purpose) design to call each API request in the Mule application?

   • A. Call each API request in a separate lookup call from Dataweave reduce operator
   • B. Call each API request in a separate route of a Scatter-Gather
   • C. Call each API request in a separate route of a Parallel For Each scope
   • D. Call each API request in a separate Async scope

4. Question #4

   A company is planning to migrate its deployment environment from on-premises cluster to a Runtime Fabric (RTF) cluster. It also has a requirement to enable Mule applications deployed to a Mule runtime instance to store and share data across application replicas and restarts. How can these requirements be met?

   • A. Anypoint object store V2 to share data between replicas in the RTF cluster
   • B. Install the object store pod on one of the cluster nodes
   • C. Configure Persistence Gateway in any of the servers using Mule Object Store
   • D. Configure Persistent Gateway at the RTF

5. Question #5

   An ABC Farms project team is planning to build a new API that is required to work with data from different domains across the organization. The organization has a policy that all project teams should leverage existing investments by reusing existing APIs and related resources and documentation that other project teams have already developed and deployed. To support reuse, where on Anypoint Platform should the project team go to discover and read existing APIs, discover related resources and documentation, and interact with mocked versions of those APIs?

   • A. Design Center
   • B. API Manager
   • C. Runtime Manager
   • D. Anypoint Exchange
   Reveal Answer

6. Question #6

   An organization is designing multiple new applications to run on CloudHub in a single Anypoint VPC and that must share data using a common persistent Anypoint object store V2 (OSv2). Which design gives these mule applications access to the same object store instance?

   • A. AVM connector configured to directly access the persistence queue of the persistent object store
   • B. An Anypoint MQ connector configured to directly access the persistent object store
   • C. Object store V2 can be shared across cloudhub applications with the configured osv2 connector
   • D. The object store V2 rest API configured to access the persistent object store
   Reveal Answer

7. Question #7

   An organization has an HTTPS-enabled Mule application named Orders API that receives requests from another Mule application named Process Orders. The communication between these two Mule applications must be secured by TLS mutual authentication (two-way TLS). At a minimum, what must be stored in each truststore and keystore of these two Mule applications to properly support two-way TLS between the two Mule applications while properly protecting each Mule application's keys?

   • A. Orders API truststore: The Orders API public keyProcess Orders keystore: The Process Orders private key and public key
   • B. Orders API truststore: The Orders API private key and public key Process Orders keystore: The Process Orders private key public key
   • C. Orders API truststore: The Process Orders public keyOrders API keystore: The Orders API private key and public key Process Orders truststore: The Orders
   • D. Orders API truststore: The Process Orders public key Orders API keystore: The Orders API private key Process Orders truststore: The Orders API public key

8. Question #8

   When designing an upstream API and its implementation, the development team has been advised to not set timeouts when invoking downstream API. Because the downstream API has no SLA that can be relied upon. This is the only donwstream API dependency of that upstream API. Assume the downstream API runs uninterrupted without crashing. What is the impact of this advice?

   • A. The invocation of the downstream API will run to completion without timing out.
   • B. An SLA for the upstream API CANNOT be provided.
   • C. A default timeout of 500 ms will automatically be applied by the Mule runtime in which the upstream API implementation executes.
   • D. A load-dependent timeout of less than 1000 ms will be applied by the Mule runtime in which the downstream API implementation executes.

9. Question #9

   When using Anypoint Platform across various lines of business with their own Anypoint Platform business groups, what configuration of Anypoint Platform is always performed at the organization level as opposed to at the business group level?

   • A. Environment setup
   • B. Identity management setup
   • C. Role and permission setup
   • D. Dedicated Load Balancer setup

10. Question #10

    An organization if struggling frequent plugin version upgrades and external plugin project dependencies. The team wants to minimize the impact on applications by creating best practices that will define a set of default dependencies across all new and in progress projects. How can these best practices be achieved with the applications having the least amount of responsibility?

    • A. Create a Mule plugin project with all the dependencies and add it as a dependency in each application's POM.xml file
    • B. Create a mule domain project with all the dependencies define in its POM.xml file and add each application to the domain Project
    • C. Add all dependencies in each application's POM.xml file
    • D. Create a parent POM of all the required dependencies and reference each in each application's POM.xml file
