MuleSoft MCD-Level-1 MuleSoft Certified Developer - Level 1 (Mule 4) Exam Practice Test

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.

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.

URL parameters are always accessed using { } like => {customerID}

To compare, DataWeave syntax is #[payload == "FR"].

In this case only one = is used so it will give syntax error.

Hence the correct answer is A dataweave syntax error

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 :

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"

}

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.

The HTTP 415 Unsupported Media Type client error response code indicates 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. As per RAML input is expected in application/xml.

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

1. Set Payload “Start”

2. 'Is Balnk String' Creates an Error object with #[error.description] =“String is not blank”

3. Default Error Handler catches and Propagates error

4. 'On Error Propogate' is 'RED IN RED OUT'. It Returns Status Code : 500 & #[error.description]

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

Correct answer is String is not blank. Because validation component will throw an error as payload is not blank.

Correct answer is String is not blank.

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

Here’s specifically what is happening here:

1) Payload is successfully set to “Start”

2) The Is Blank String validator creates an Error Object because the payload is string "Start". Execution stops

#[error.description] = “String is not blank”

3) Because no error handler is defined, the Mule default error handler handles the error. Remember, at its heart, the Mule Default Error handler is an error handling scope with just an on error propagate

4) “String is not blank” is the error message returned to the requestor in the body of the HTTP requestHTTP Status Code: 500

Correct answer is as below. Attributes in the incoming xml payload are always accessed using @.Similarly *item is required as we have multiple items in the request

%dw 2.0

output application/csv

---

payload.sale.*item map ((value, index) -> {

index: index,

sale: value.@saleId,

itemName: value.desc,

itemPrice: (value.quantity) * (value.price),

item: value.@itemId

} )

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 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 :

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:

Mule event is correct answer. Mule event has two parts which are as follows

1) Message (which contains payload and attributes like headers and query/uri parameters

2) Variables

Listening for connections on ' '

Correct answer is async sub flow. Rest are valid flows in Mule.

Sub flow is always synchronous.

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

MuleSoft Doc Ref :

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.

* Watermark allows the poll scope to poll for new resources instead of getting the same resource over and over again.

* The database table must be ordered so that the “watermark functionality” can move effectively in the ordered list. Watermark stores the current/last picked up “record id.”

* If the Mule application is shut down, it will store the last picked up “record id” in the Java Object Store and the data will continue to exist in the file. This watermark functionality is valuable and enables developers to have increased transparency.

* Developers do not need to create code to handle caching; it is all configurable!

* There are two columns and both are unique but user_id can't guaranty sequence whereas date_time will always be in increasing order and table content can easily be ordered on the basis of last processed date_time.

So correct answer is: Set the watermark column to the date_time column

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

Correct answer is as below. On complete phase only has access to batch job result statistics and payload is not available.

• Total Records Processed: 3
• Successful Records: 3
• Failed Records: 0

On Complete

During this phase, you can optionally configure the runtime to create a report or summary of the records it processed for the particular batch job instance. This phase exists to give system administrators and developers some insight into which records failed to address any issues that might exist with the input data.

Sample output is as below

Mule Ref Doc : 

Correct answer is ${training.host}

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

Rest all are mandatory.

Database always return rows as an array.

Array is the correct answer

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

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 :

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.
