Correct answer is Modify the API implementation to use auto-discovery to register with API Manager

API Autodiscovery

Configuring autodiscovery allows a deployed Mule runtime engine (Mule) application to connect with API Manager to download and manage policies and to generate analytics data. Additionally, with autodiscovery, you can configure your Mule applications to act as their own API proxy.

When autodiscovery is correctly configured in your Mule application, you can say that your application’s API is tracked by (green dot) or paired to API Manager. You can associate an API in a Mule setup with only one autodiscovery instance at a given time.

Correct answer is Products

Modern API has three features 1) Treated as products for easy consumption 2) Discoverable and accessible through self-service 3) Easily managed for security , scalability and performance

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.

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

Correct answer is below as it follows the correct syntax.

/customers:

/{customerId}:

get:

Error in validation component will get processed by Processer level On Error Propagate block and then error will be rethrown which will get processed by flow level error handler which will set payload to "Error- main flow". Hence correct answer is Error - main flow

1) Request is received by HTTP listener

2) Try scope gets executed

3) The validator component in the Try scope creates an Error Object because the payload is not null.

4) The On Error Propagate handles the error. The payload is set to “Error – Try scope”

6) “Error – Try scope” is returned to the 'On Error Continue' block. Main flow execution stops. Payload is set to "Error - main flow"

7) “Error - main flow” is returned to the requestor in the body of the HTTP request. HTTP Status Code: 200

Correct answer is Subflow has no error handling implementation where as sync flow has.

Subflow

A subflow processes messages synchronously (relative to the flow that triggered its execution) and always inherits both the processing strategy and exception strategy employed by the triggering flow. While a subflow is running, processing on the triggering flow pauses, then resumes only after the subflow completes its processing and hands the message back to the triggering flow.

Synchronous Flow

A synchronous flow, like a subflow, processes messages synchronously (relative to the flow that triggered its execution). While a synchronous flow is running, processing on the triggering flow pauses, then resumes only after the synchronous flow completes its processing and hands the message back to the triggering flow. However, unlike a subflow, this type of flow does not inherit processing or exception strategies from the triggering flow.

This type of flow processes messages along a single thread, which is ideally suited to transactional processing

Empty array is returned when no rows are matched.

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.
