Salesforce-MuleSoft-Developer-I Practice Exam Questions with Answers Salesforce Certified MuleSoft Developer (Mule-Dev-201) Certification

Correct answer is Anypoint Visualizer

MuleSoft Doc Ref : https://docs.mulesoft.com/visualizer/

Anypoint Visualizer provides a real-time, graphical representation of the APIs, and Mule applications that are running and discoverable. It also displays third-party systems that are invoked by a Mule API, proxy, or application within your application network. The data displayed in the graph is dynamically updated and does not require prior configuration. Additionally, the data displayed is secure, as only users with the proper permissions can view the application network graph.

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

Option1 is correct syntax to configure HTTP Listener endpoint

Lets revise few concepts RAML which can help us to find the answer of this question.

URI Parameters

Lets have a look at below example.

• /foos:
• /{id}:
• /name/{name}:

Here, the braces { } around property names define URI parameters. They represent placeholders in each URI and do not reference root-level RAML file properties as we saw above in the baseUri declaration. The added lines represent the resources /foos/{id} and /foos/name/{name}.

Query Parameters

Now we'll define a way to query the foos collection using query parameters. Note that query parameters are defined using the same syntax that we used above for data types:

• /foos:
• get:
• description: List all Foos matching query criteria, if provided;
• otherwise list all Foos
• queryParameters:
• name?: string
• ownerName?: string

Based on the above information , below is the only option which defines storeid as uri parameter and department as query parameter.

• /{storeId}:
• get:
• queryParameter:
• department:

* To use custom 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:

1) Does not identify any functions to import from the String module:

import dw::core::Strings

2) To identify a specific function to import from the String module:

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

3) To import all functions from the String module:

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.

* In given scenario, it's mentioned to import all of the WebStore.dwl

So correct answer is:

In General > Request > Query Parameters, click the plus icon (+) to add a parameter to a request. Type a name and value for the parameter or use a DataWeave expression to define the name and value.

In case of an error , batch job completes in flight steps and stops further processing.

MuleSoft Doc Ref : Handling Errors During Batch Job | MuleSoft Documentation

The default is all processing will stop but we can change it by Max Failed Record field.

General -> Max Failed Records: Mule has three options for handling a record-level error: Finish processing, Continue processing and Continue processing until the batch job accumulates a maximum number of failed records. This behavior can be controlled by Max Failed Records.

The default value is Zero which corresponds to Finish processing.

The value -1, corresponds to Continue processing.

The value +ve integer, corresponds to Continue processing until the batch job accumulates a maximum number of failed records

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

Organization Administrators can approve/revoke/delete SLA tier access requests via API Manager only

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here’s specifically what is happening here:

1) Payload is successfully set to “Before”

2) Is null validation is used which will pass the message only if payload is null. In this case as payload is not null, it creates an Error Object. Flow execution stops

#[error.description] = “Validation error”

3) Because no error handler is defined, the Mule default error handler handles the error

4) “Validation error” is the error message returned to the requestor in the body of the HTTP request with HTTP Status Code: 500

* Batch scope has filter criteria which says paylod mod 2 = 0 whch means only 2, 4 and 6 will be in batch scope.

* So payload for each of these will be incremented by 10.

* Aggregator has batch size defined as 2. So it will process in batch of two records.

* Hence option 3 is correct answer.

[20,40]

[60]

Behavior with aggregator configured with fixed size

In this scenario, the batch step sends the processed records to an aggregator, which starts processing the records and buffering them until the configured aggregator’s size is reached. After that, the aggregator sends the aggregated records to the stepping queue.

Diagram Description automatically generated

The batch job builds record blocks of the configured block size and sends them to their corresponding batch step for processing. Each batch step receives one or more record blocks and starts processing them in parallel. After the batch step processes a record, the batch step sends the record to the aggregator for further processing. The aggregator continues processing records until the number of aggregated records reaches the configured aggregator’s size.

https://docs.mulesoft.com/mule-runtime/4.3/batch-processing-concept

Option 1 is the correct syntax

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 components in your Mule application

* 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

Correct Answer: D

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.

Mule doc reference : https://docs.mulesoft.com/db-connector/1.8/database-documentation#listener

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

Correct answer is Array.

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 ]

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

The List operation returns an array of messages in which: Each message holds the file’s content in its payload. The file’s attributes section carries the file’s metadata (such as name, creation time, and size). The payload is empty if the element is a folder.

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

Returns an array that is the result of applying a transformation function (lambda) to each of the elements.

MuleSoft Doc Ref : https://docs.mulesoft.com/mule-runtime/4.3/dataweave-cookbook-map

The map operator is a function in Dataweave which iterates over the items in an array and outputs them into a new array. It basically accepts input as a list of items in an array and manipulates the items in the array in order to form a new array as an output.

I have created below chart for your easier understanding:

Table Description automatically generated

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

Below are the Key performance indicators (KPIs), to measure and track the and success of the C4E and its activities, as well as the growth and health of the application network. Most of the metrics can be extracted automatically, through REST APIs, from Anypoint Platform.

• # of assets published to Anypoint Exchange

• # of interactions with Anypoint Exchange assets

• # of APIs managed by Anypoint Platform

• # of System APIs managed by Anypoint Platform

• # of API clients registered for access to APIs

• # of API implementations deployed to Anypoint Platform

• # of API invocations

• # or fraction of lines of code covered by automated tests in CI/CD pipeline

• Ratio of info/warning/critical alerts to number of API invocations

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: Response body: "Error" Default response status code: 200.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1) Payload is successfully set to “Success – Started Flow”

2) When HTTP Request throws an error, execution halts

#[error.description] = “ABC"

#[error.errorType] = "XYZ"

3) The On Error Continue scope handles the error. When On Error Continue scope is invoked, all the processors in error block are executed and success response is sent back to the client with payload which is set in error flow. In this case payload is set to "Error" value in error block.

4) “Error” is returned to the requestor in the body of the HTTP request with HTTP Status Code: 200 as On error continue always sends success error code.

Allowed methods is an optional configuration. If nothing is specified then all HTTP methods are supported.

Rest all are mandatory.

Points to remember:

* XML must have a root element.

* XML only allows one root element

* To avoid multiple root issues, you must create a root element for the XML output, whenever we transform output

* 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

* The transformation to XML would fail if the above mentioned considerations were not taken into account.

* Thus the transformation script declares a root element as trains and wraps the data in “{( )}“.

Whenever you see such type of question, always look out for root element followed by {( )} wrapping map.

I call this a "Wrap The Map" scenario. Hope it would help you remember !

Correct answer is Publish the API to Anypoint Exchange

Anypoint Exchange makes this possible by making it discoverable in below ways

1) In private exchange for internal developers

2) In a public portal for external developers/clients

Here is diagram created by me to help you understand sequence:

Correct answer is below as it follows the correct syntax.

/customers:

/{customerId}:

get:

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

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 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.

Mule Ref Doc : https://docs.mulesoft.com/mule-runtime/4.3/scatter-gather-concept

Correct answer is Save the payload from the Database SELECT operation to a variable

Response from HTTP request will override the payload and hence response of database SELECT can be lost. Best way to preserve is to assign payload of first operation to variable using TransformMessage.

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

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.

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

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

Choice router finds the FIRST true condition, then distribute the event to the ONE matched route.

MuleSoft Doc Ref : https://docs.mulesoft.com/mule-runtime/4.1/choice-router-concept

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

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.

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 answer is

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

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

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/

Flow Reference Component

Flow Reference routes the Mule event to another flow or subflow, 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 Mule event 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.

Correct answer is

• payload
• quantity var
• color query param

Correct answer is ${training.host}

Correct answer is Creates and manages discoverable assets to be consumed by line of business developers.

C4E does not get directly involved in projects.

Keyword to ad function in Dataweave transformation is fun. Hence option 2 and 4 are invalid. Also parameters needs to be passed exactly in same order as defined in function definition. Hence correct answer is'

fun addKV( object: Object, key: String, value: Any) =

object ++ {(key):(value)}

---

addKV ( {"hello': "world"}, "hola", "mundo" )

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

DataWeave Function Definition Syntax

To define a function in DataWeave use the following syntax:

fun myFunction(param1, param2, ...) =

The fun keyword starts the definition of a function.

myFunction is the name you define for the function.

Function names must be valid identifiers.

(param1, param2, … , paramn) represents the parameters that your function accepts.

You can specify from zero to any number of parameters, separated by commas (,) and enclosed in parentheses.

The = sign marks the beginning of the code block to execute when the function is called.

represents the actual code that you define for your function.
