JSON threat protection

NO.58 The Line of Business (LoB) of an eCommerce company is requesting a process that sends automated notifications via email every time a new order is processed through the customer’s mobile application or through the internal company’s web application. In the future, multiple notification channels may be added: for example, text messages and push notifications.
What is the most effective API-led connectivity approach for the scenario described above?

Create one Experience API for the web application and one for the mobile application.
Create a Process API to orchestrate and retrieve the email template from = database.
Create a System API that sends the email using the Anypoint Connector for Email.
Create one Experience API for the web application and one for the mobile application.
Create a Process API to orchestrate and retrieve the email template from = database.
Create a System API that sends the email using the Anypoint Connector for Email.

Create one Experience API for the web application and one for the mobile application, Create a Process API to orchestrate, retrieve the email template from a database, and send the email using the Anypoint Connector for Email.

Create Experience APIs for both the web application and mobile application.
Create a Process API ta orchestrate, retrieve the email template from e database, and send the email using the Anypoint Connector for Email.

Create Experience APIs for both the web application and mobile application.
(Create 3 Process API to orchestrate and retrieve the email template from 2 databese.
Create a System API that sends the email using the Anypoint Connector for Email.

In this scenario, the best approach to satisfy the API-led connectivity principles and support future scalability is:
Experience APIs:
Create separate Experience APIs for the web application and the mobile application. This allows each application to have an optimized interface, supporting different needs and potential differences in request/response structures or security configurations.
Process API:
A single Process API can be used to orchestrate the workflow, including retrieving the email template from a database and preparing the email content. By centralizing this logic in the Process layer, we can ensure it is reusable and easily adaptable for different notification channels in the future.
System API:
A System API specifically designed for sending emails (using the Anypoint Connector for Email) abstracts the email-sending functionality from the business logic. This approach ensures that the email-sending function is reusable and scalable, and it can easily be extended or modified if other notification channels (like SMS or push notifications) are added later.
Why Option A is Correct:
This structure aligns with API-led connectivity principles by separating concerns across Experience, Process, and System layers. It provides flexibility for future notification channels and isolates each layer’s responsibility, making it easier to maintain and scale.
of Incorrect Options:
Option B lacks a separate System API for sending emails, which goes against the principle of isolating back-end functionality in System APIs.
Option C similarly lacks a dedicated System API, reducing flexibility and reusability.
Option D suggests creating multiple Process APIs for database retrieval, which adds unnecessary complexity and does not adhere to the single-orchestration principle typically followed in API-led design.
Reference
For further guidance on API-led connectivity and the responsibilities of each API layer, refer to MuleSoft’s documentation on API-led architecture and design best practices.

NO.59 The asset version 2.0.0 of the Order API is successfully published in Exchange and configured in API Manager with the Autodiscovery API ID correctly linked to the API implementation, A new GET method is added to the existing API specification, and after updates, the asset version of the Order API is 2.0.1, What happens to the Autodiscovery API ID when the new asset version is updated in API Manager?

The API ID changes, but no changes are needed to the API implementation for the new asset version in the API Autediscovery global element because the API ID is automatically updated

The APL ID changes, so the API implementation must be updated with the latest API ID for the new asset version in the API Autodiscovery global element

The APLID does not change, so no changes to the APT implementation are needed for the new asset version in the API Autodiscovery global element

The APL ID does not change, but the API implementation must be updated in the AP] Autodiscovery global element to indicate the new asset version 2.0.4

NO.60 When designing an upstream API and its implementation, the development team has been advised to NOT set timeouts when invoking a downstream API, because that downstream API has no SLA that can be relied upon. This is the only downstream API dependency of that upstream API.
Assume the downstream API runs uninterrupted without crashing. What is the impact of this advice?

An SLA for the upstream API CANNOT be provided

The invocation of the downstream API will run to completion without timing out

A default timeout of 500 ms will automatically be applied by the Mule runtime in which the upstream API implementation executes

A toad-dependent timeout of less than 1000 ms will be applied by the Mule runtime in which the downstream API implementation executes

NO.61 A System API is designed to retrieve data from a backend system that has scalability challenges. What API policy can best safeguard the backend system?

IPwhitelist

SLA-based rate limiting

Auth 2 token enforcement

Client ID enforcement

NO.62 Refer to the exhibit. An organization needs to enable access to their customer data from both a mobile app and a web application, which each need access to common fields as well as certain unique fields.
The data is available partially in a database and partially in a 3rd-party CRM system.
What APIs should be created to best fit these design requirements?

A) A Process API that contains the data required by both the web and mobile apps, allowing these applications to invoke it directly and access the data they need thereby providing the flexibility to add more fields in the future without needing API changes B) One set of APIs (Experience API, Process API, and System API) for the web app, and another set for the mobile app C) Separate Experience APIs for the mobile and web app, but a common Process API that invokes separate System APIs created for the database and CRM system

D) A common Experience API used by both the web and mobile apps, but separate Process APIs for the web and mobile apps that interact with the database and the CRM System

Option A

Option B

Option C

Option D

NO.63 Refer to the exhibit.
Three business processes need to be implemented, and the implementations need to communicate with several different SaaS applications.
These processes are owned by separate (siloed) LOBs and are mainly independent of each other, but do share a few business entities. Each LOB has one development team and their own budget In this organizational context, what is the most effective approach to choose the API data models for the APIs that will implement these business processes with minimal redundancy of the data models?
A) Build several Bounded Context Data Models that align with coherent parts of the business processes and the definitions of associated business entities

B) Build distinct data models for each API to follow established micro-services and Agile API-centric practices C) Build all API data models using XML schema to drive consistency and reuse across the organization D) Build one centralized Canonical Data Model (Enterprise Data Model) that unifies all the data types from all three business processes, ensuring the data model is consistent and non-redundant

Option A

Option B

Option C

Option D

NO.64 What is a key performance indicator (KPI) that measures the success of a typical C4E that is immediately apparent in responses from the Anypoint Platform APIs?

The number of production outage incidents reported in the last 24 hours

The number of API implementations that have a publicly accessible HTTP endpoint and are being managed by Anypoint Platform

The fraction of API implementations deployed manually relative to those deployed using a CI/CD tool

The number of API specifications in RAML or OAS format published to Anypoint Exchange

NO.65 A retail company with thousands of stores has an API to receive data about purchases and insert it into a single database. Each individual store sends a batch of purchase data to the API about every 30 minutes. The API implementation uses a database bulk insert command to submit all the purchase data to a database using a custom JDBC driver provided by a data analytics solution provider. The API implementation is deployed to a single CloudHub worker. The JDBC driver processes the data into a set of several temporary disk files on the CloudHub worker, and then the data is sent to an analytics engine using a proprietary protocol. This process usually takes less than a few minutes. Sometimes a request fails. In this case, the logs show a message from the JDBC driver indicating an out-of-file-space message. When the request is resubmitted, it is successful. What is the best way to try to resolve this throughput issue?

se a CloudHub autoscaling policy to add CloudHub workers

Use a CloudHub autoscaling policy to increase the size of the CloudHub worker

Increase the size of the CloudHub worker(s)

Increase the number of CloudHub workers

NO.66 A system API is deployed to a primary environment as well as to a disaster recovery (DR) environment, with different DNS names in each environment. A process API is a client to the system API and is being rate limited by the system API, with different limits in each of the environments. The system API’s DR environment provides only 20% of the rate limiting offered by the primary environment. What is the best API fault-tolerant invocation strategy to reduce overall errors in the process API, given these conditions and constraints?

Invoke the system API deployed to the primary environment; add timeout and retry logic to the process API to avoid intermittent failures; if it still fails, invoke the system API deployed to the DR environment

Invoke the system API deployed to the primary environment; add retry logic to the process API to handle intermittent failures by invoking the system API deployed to the DR environment

In parallel, invoke the system API deployed to the primary environment and the system API deployed to the DR environment; add timeout and retry logic to the process API to avoid intermittent failures; add logic to the process API to combine the results

Invoke the system API deployed to the primary environment; add timeout and retry logic to the process API to avoid intermittent failures; if it still fails, invoke a copy of the process API deployed to the DR environment

Correct Answe r: Invoke the system API deployed to the primary environment; add timeout and retry logic to the process API to avoid intermittent failures; if it still fails, invoke the system API deployed to the DR environment
*****************************************
There is one important consideration to be noted in the question which is – System API in DR environment provides only 20% of the rate limiting offered by the primary environment. So, comparitively, very less calls will be allowed into the DR environment API opposed to its primary environment. With this in mind, lets analyse what is the right and best fault-tolerant invocation strategy.
1. Invoking both the system APIs in parallel is definitely NOT a feasible approach because of the 20% limitation we have on DR environment. Calling in parallel every time would easily and quickly exhaust the rate limits on DR environment and may not give chance to genuine intermittent error scenarios to let in during the time of need.
2. Another option given is suggesting to add timeout and retry logic to process API while invoking primary environment’s system API. This is good so far. However, when all retries failed, the option is suggesting to invoke the copy of process API on DR environment which is not right or recommended. Only system API is the one to be considered for fallback and not the whole process API. Process APIs usually have lot of heavy orchestration calling many other APIs which we do not want to repeat again by calling DR’s process API. So this option is NOT right.
3. One more option given is suggesting to add the retry (no timeout) logic to process API to directly retry on DR environment’s system API instead of retrying the primary environment system API first. This is not at all a proper fallback. A proper fallback should occur only after all retries are performed and exhausted on Primary environment first. But here, the option is suggesting to directly retry fallback API on first failure itself without trying main API. So, this option is NOT right too.
This leaves us one option which is right and best fit.
– Invoke the system API deployed to the primary environment
– Add Timeout and Retry logic on it in process API
– If it fails even after all retries, then invoke the system API deployed to the DR environment.

NO.68 An organization has built an application network following the API-led connectivity approach recommended by MuleSoft. To protect the application network against attacks from malicious external API clients, the organization plans to apply JSON Threat Protection policies.
To which API-led connectivity layer should the JSON Threat Protection policies most commonly be applied?

All layers

System layer

Process layer

Experience layer

Understanding JSON Threat Protection Policies:
JSON Threat Protection policies are used to protect APIs from attacks that exploit JSON payloads, such as oversized payloads, deeply nested objects, and excessive array elements. This helps prevent Denial of Service (DoS) attacks and other malicious payload-related threats.
These policies are typically applied to safeguard APIs that are directly exposed to external clients, where the risk of receiving malicious payloads is highest.
API-led Connectivity Layers:
Experience Layer: This layer is designed to expose APIs to end-users or external API clients, often acting as the interface that interacts with users or applications.
Process Layer: This layer is used for orchestration and aggregation of data from various System APIs, typically operating within a trusted environment and not directly exposed to external clients.
System Layer: This layer provides access to backend systems and databases, often within the organization’s secure environment and not directly accessible to external clients.
Evaluating the Options:
Option A (All layers): While JSON Threat Protection can technically be applied to all layers, it is most commonly applied at the Experience layer, where APIs are exposed to external traffic and are more vulnerable to attacks.
Option B (System layer): The System layer is generally not exposed to external clients directly, so JSON Threat Protection is less critical here.
Option C (Process layer): Similar to the System layer, the Process layer is typically internal and not exposed directly to external clients, so JSON Threat Protection is less commonly applied.
Option D (Correct Answer): The Experience layer is the correct answer because it is the layer that directly interacts with external clients, making it the primary target for malicious payloads. Applying JSON Threat Protection here effectively protects the application network from external threats.
Conclusion:
Option D is the correct answer, as the Experience layer is the most common layer for applying JSON Threat Protection policies to protect against external attacks.
For further reference, consult MuleSoft’s documentation on API security policies and best practices for securing APIs at the Experience layer.

NO.69 A Platform Architect inherits a legacy monolithic SOAP-based web service that performs a number of tasks, including showing all policies belonging to a client. The service connects to two back-end systems – a life-insurance administration system and a general-insurance administration system – and then queries for insurance policy information within each system, aggregates the results, and presents a SOAP-based response to a user interface (UI).
The architect wants to break up the monolithic web service to follow API-led conventions.
Which part of the service should be put into the process layer?

Authenticating and maintaining connections to each of the back-end administration systems

Presenting the SOAP-based response to the UI

Combining the insurance policy information from the administration systems

Querying the data from the administration systems

NO.70 What is most likely NOT a characteristic of an integration test for a REST API implementation?

The test needs all source and/or target systems configured and accessible

The test runs immediately after the Mule application has been compiled and packaged

The test is triggered by an external HTTP request

The test prepares a known request payload and validates the response payload

NO.71 An organization is deploying their new implementation of the OrderStatus System API to multiple workers in CloudHub. This API fronts the organization’s on-premises Order Management System, which is accessed by the API implementation over an IPsec tunnel.
What type of error typically does NOT result in a service outage of the OrderStatus System API?

A CloudHub worker fails with an out-of-memory exception

API Manager has an extended outage during the initial deployment of the API implementation

The AWS region goes offline with a major network failure to the relevant AWS data centers

The Order Management System is Inaccessible due to a network outage in the organization’s on-premises data center

NO.72 A set of tests must be performed prior to deploying API implementations to a staging environment. Due to data security and access restrictions, untested APIs cannot be granted access to the backend systems, so instead mocked data must be used for these tests. The amount of available mocked data and its contents is sufficient to entirely test the API implementations with no active connections to the backend systems. What type of tests should be used to incorporate this mocked data?

Integration tests

Performance tests

Functional tests (Blackbox)

Unit tests (Whitebox)

NO.73 Which scenario is suited for MUnit tests instead of integration tests?

For read-only interactions to any dependencies (such as other web APIs)

When testing does not require knowledge of implementation details

When no mocking is permissible

For tests that are implemented using SoapUI
