Which Anypoint Platform component should the administrator use to obtain this information?

A rale limiting policy has been applied to a soap VI.2 API published in Clondhub. The API implementation catches errors in a global error handler on error propagate in the main flow for HTTP: RETRY_EXHAUSTED with HTTP status set to 429 and any with the HTTP status set to 500.

What is the expected H1TP status when the client exceeds the quota of the API calls?

An insurance provider is implementing Anypoint platform to manage its application infrastructure and is using the customer hosted runtime for its business due to certain financial requirements it must meet. It has built a number of synchronous API's and is currently hosting these on a mule runtime on one server

These applications make use of a number of components including heavy use of object stores and VM queues.

Business has grown rapidly in the last year and the insurance provider is starting to receive reports of reliability issues from its applications.

The DevOps team indicates that the API's are currently handling too many requests and this is over loading the server. The team has also mentioned that there is a significant downtime when the server is down for maintenance.

As an integration architect, which option would you suggest to mitigate these issues?

An IT integration tram followed an API-led connectivity approach to implement an order-fulfillment business process. It created an order processing AP that coordinates stateful interactions with a variety of microservices that validate, create, and fulfill new product orders

What limits if a particular Anypoint Platform user can discover an asset in Anypoint Exchange?

Mule application A receives a request Anypoint MQ message REQU with a payload containing a variable-length list of request objects. Application A uses the For Each scope to split the list into individual objects and sends each object as a message to an Anypoint MQ queue.

Service S listens on that queue, processes each message independently of all other messages, and sends a response message to a response queue.

Application A listens on that response queue and must in turn create and publish a response Anypoint MQ message RESP with a payload containing the list of responses sent by service S in the same order as the request objects originally sent in REQU.

Assume successful response messages are returned by service S for all request messages.

What is required so that application A can ensure that the length and order of the list of objects in RESP and REQU match, while at the same time maximizing message throughput?

In Anypoint Platform, a company wants to configure multiple identity providers (IdPs) for multiple lines of business (LOBs). Multiple business groups, teams, and environments have been defined for these LOBs.

To implement predictive maintenance on its machinery equipment, ACME Tractors has installed thousands of IoT sensors that will send data for each machinery asset as sequences of JMS messages, in near real-time, to a JMS queue named SENSOR_DATA on a JMS server. The Mule application contains a JMS Listener operation configured to receive incoming messages from the JMS servers SENSOR_DATA JMS queue. The Mule application persists each received JMS message, then sends a transformed version of the corresponding Mule event to the machinery equipment back-end systems.

The Mule application will be deployed to a multi-node, customer-hosted Mule runtime cluster. Under normal conditions, each JMS message should be processed exactly once.

How should the JMS Listener be configured to maximize performance and concurrent message processing of the JMS queue?

An organization has implemented a continuous integration (CI) lifecycle that promotes Mule applications through code, build, and test stages. To standardize the organization's CI journey, a new dependency control approach is being designed to store artifacts that include information such as dependencies, versioning, and build promotions.

To implement these process improvements, the organization will now require developers to maintain all dependencies related to Mule application code in a shared location.

What is the most idiomatic (used for its intended purpose) type of system the organization should use in a shared location to standardize all dependencies related to Mule application code?

What is a defining characteristic of an integration-Platform-as-a-Service (iPaaS)?

An organization has various integrations implemented as Mule applications. Some of these Mule applications are deployed to custom hosted Mule runtimes (on-premises) while others execute in the MuleSoft-hosted runtime plane (CloudHub). To perform the Integra functionality, these Mule applications connect to various backend systems, with multiple applications typically needing to access the backend systems.

How can the organization most effectively avoid creating duplicates in each Mule application of the credentials required to access the backend systems?

A mule application is required to periodically process large data set from a back-end database to Salesforce CRM using batch job scope configured properly process the higher rate of records.

The application is deployed to two cloudhub workers with no persistence queues enabled.

What is the consequence if the worker crashes during records processing?

During a planning session with the executive leadership, the development team director presents plans for a new API to expose the data in the company’s order database. An earlier effort to build an API on top of this data failed, so the director is recommending a design-first approach.

Which characteristics of a design-first approach will help make this API successful?

An Order microservice and a Fulfillment microservice are being designed to communicate with their dients through message-based integration (and NOT through API invocations).

The Order microservice publishes an Order message (a kind of command message) containing the details of an order to be fulfilled. The intention is that Order messages are only consumed by one Mute application, the Fulfillment microservice.

The Fulfilment microservice consumes Order messages, fulfills the order described therein, and then publishes an OrderFulfilted message (a kind of event message). Each OrderFulfilted message can be consumed by any interested Mule application, and the Order microservice is one such Mute application.

What is the most appropriate choice of message broker(s) and message destination(s) in this scenario?

A company is modernizing its legal systems lo accelerate access lo applications and data while supporting the adoption of new technologies. The key to achieving this business goal is unlocking the companies' key systems and dala including microservices miming under Docker and kubernetes containers using apis.

Considering the current aggressive backlog and project delivery requirements the company wants to take a strategic approach in the first phase of its transformation projects by quickly deploying API's in mule runtime that are able lo scale, connect to on premises systems and migrate as needed.

Which runtime deployment option supports company's goals?

Refer to the exhibit.

The HTTP Listener and the Logger are being handled from which thread pools respectively?

An organization’s IT team must secure all of the internal APIs within an integration solution by using an API proxy to apply required authentication and authorization policies.

What are suitable interface technologies for this integration assuming that Mulesoft fully supports these technologies and that Anypoint connectors exist for these interfaces?

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?

An external REST client periodically sends an array of records in a single POST request to a Mule application API endpoint.

The Mule application must validate each record of the request against a JSON schema before sending it to a downstream system in the same order that it was received in the array

Record processing will take place inside a router or scope that calls a child flow. The child flow has its own error handling defined. Any validation or communication failures should not prevent further processing of the remaining records.

To best address these requirements what is the most idiomatic(used for it intended purpose) router or scope to used in the parent flow, and what type of error handler should be used in the child flow?
