MCIA - Level 1: MuleSoft Certified Integration Architect - Level 1 Mule Practice Questions

An Integration Mule application is being designed to synchronize customer data between two systems. One system is an IBM Mainframe and the other system is a Salesforce Marketing Cloud (CRM) instance. Both systems have been deployed in their typical configurations, and are to be invoked using the native protocols provided by Salesforce and IBM. What interface technologies are the most straightforward and appropriate to use in this Mule application to interact with these systems, assuming that Anypoint Connectors exist that implement these interface technologies?

• AA. IBM: DB access CRM: gRPC
• BB. IBM: REST CRM:REST
• CC. IBM: Active MQ CRM: REST
• DD. IBM: CICS CRM: SOAP

A Mule application is built to support a local transaction for a series of operations on a single database. The Mule application has a Scatter-Gather that participates in the local transaction. What is the behavior of the Scatter-Gather when running within this local transaction?

• AA. Execution of each route within the Scatter-Gather occurs sequentially. Any error that occurs inside the Scatter-Gather will result in a rollback of all the database operations
• BB. Execution of all routes within the Scatter-Gather occurs in parallel. Any error that occurs inside the Scatter-Gather will result in a rollback of all the database operations
• CC. Execution of each route within the Scatter-Gather occurs sequentially. Any error that occurs inside the Scatter-Gather will NOT result in a rollback of any of the database operations
• DD. Execution of each route within the Scatter-Gather occurs in parallel. Any error that occurs inside the Scatter-Gather will NOT result in a rollback of any of the database operations

A Mule application is being designed for deployment to a single CloudHub worker. The Mule application will have a flow that connects to a SaaS system to perform some operations each time the flow is invoked. The SaaS system connector has operations that can be configured to request a short-lived token (fifteen minutes) that can be reused for subsequent connections within the fifteen minute time window. After the token expires, a new token must be requested and stored. What is the most performant and idiomatic (used for its intended purpose) Anypoint Platform component or service to use to support persisting and reusing tokens in the Mule application to help speed up reconnecting the Mule application to the SaaS application?

• AA. Nonpersistent object store
• BB. Persistent object store
• CC. Variable
• DD. Database

A set of integration Mule applications, some of which expose APIs, are being created to enable a new business process. Various stakeholders may be impacted by this. These stakeholders are a combination of semi-technical users (who understand basic integration terminology and concepts such as JSON and XML) and technically skilled potential consumers of the Mule applications and APIs. What Is an effective way for the project team responsible for the Mule applications and APIs being built to communicate with these stakeholders using Anypoint Platform and its supplied toolset?

• AA. Use Anypoint Design Center to implement the Mule applications and APIs and give the various stakeholders access to these Design Center projects, so they can collaborate and provide feedback
• BB. Create Anypoint Exchange entries with pages elaborating the integration design, including API notebooks (where applicable) to help the stakeholders understand and interact with the Mule applications and APIs at various levels of technical depth
• CC. Use Anypoint Exchange to register the various Mule applications and APIs and share the RAML definitions with the stakeholders, so they can be discovered
• DD. Capture documentation about the Mule applications and APIs inline within the Mule integration flows and use Anypoint Studio's Export Documentation feature to provide an HTML version of this documentation to the stakeholders

A finance giant is planning to migrate all its Mule applications to Runtime fabric (RTF). Currently all Mule applications are deployed cloud hub using automated CI/CD scripts. As an integration architect, which of the below step would you suggest to ensure that the applications from cloudhub are migrated properly to Runtime Fabric (RTF) with an assumption that organization is keen on keeping the same deployment strategy.

• AA. No changes need to be made to POM.xml file and CI/CD script should be modified as per the RTF configurations
• BB. runtimeFabric dependency should be added as a mule plug-in to POM.xml file and CI/CD script should be modified as per the RTF configurations
• CC. runtimeFabric deployment should be added to POM.xml file in all the mule applications and CI/CD script should be modified as per the RTF configurations
• DD. runtimeFabric profile should be added mule configuration files in the mule applications and CI/CD script should be modified as per the RTF configurations

Refer to the exhibit. A Mule application is being designed to be deployed to several CIoudHub workers. The Mule application's integration logic is to replicate changed Accounts from Satesforce to a backend system every 5 minutes. A watermark will be used to only retrieve those Satesforce Accounts that have been modified since the last time the integration logic ran. What is the most appropriate way to implement persistence for the watermark in order to support the required data replication integration logic?

• AA. Persistent Anypoint MQ Queue
• BB. Persistent Object Store
• CC. Persistent Cache Scope
• DD. Persistent VM Queue
