What is the MuleSoft-recommended best practice to share the connector and configuration information among the APIs?
In one of the critical payment related mule application, transaction is being used . As an enhancement to implementation , scatter gather route is introduced which is also the part of transaction group. Scatter gather route has 4 routes.
What will be the behavior of the Mule application in case of error occurs in 4th route of the scatter-gather router and transaction needs to be rolled back?
* Scatter Gather: When running within a transaction, Scatter Gather does not execute in parallel. This means that the second route is executed after the first one is processed, the third after the second one, etc. In case of error, all routes will be rolled back
A team would like to create a project skeleton that developers can use as a starting point when creating API Implementations with Anypoint Studio. This skeleton should help drive consistent use of best practices within the team.
What type of Anypoint Exchange artifact(s) should be added to Anypoint Exchange to publish the project skeleton?
*Sharing Mule applications as templates is a great way to share your work with other people who are in your organization in Anypoint Platform. When they need to build a similar application they can create the mule application using the template project from Anypoint studio.
*Anypoint Templates are designed to make it easier and faster to go from a blank canvas to a production application. They're bit for bit Mule applications requiring only Anypoint Studio to build and design, and are deployable both on-premises and in the cloud.
*Anypoint Templates are based on five common data Integration patterns and can be customized and extended to fit your integration needs. So even if your use case involves different endpoints or connectors than those included in the template, they still offer a great starting point.
Some of the best practices while creating the template project:- Define the common error handler as part of template project, either using pom dependency or mule config file - Define common logger/audit framework as part of the template project - Define the env specific properties and secure properties file as per the requirement - Define global.xml for global configuration - Define the config file for connector configuration like Http,Salesforce,File,FTP etc - Create separate folders to create DWL,Properties,SSL certificates etc - Add the dependency and configure the pom.xml as per the business need - Configure the mule-artifact.json as per the business need
An organization uses Mule runtimes which are managed by Anypoint Platform - Private Cloud Edition. What MuleSoft component is responsible for feeding analytics data to non-MuleSoft analytics platforms?
Correct answer is Anypoint Runtime Manager
MuleSoft Anypoint Runtime Manager (ARM) provides connectivity to Mule Runtime engines deployed across your organization to provide centralized management, monitoring and analytics reporting. However, most enterprise customers find it necessary for these on-premises runtimes to integrate with their existing non MuleSoft analytics / monitoring systems such as Splunk and ELK to support a single pane of glass view across the infrastructure.
* You can configure the Runtime Manager agent to export data to external analytics tools.
Using either the Runtime Manager cloud console or Anypoint Platform Private Cloud Edition, you can:
--> Send Mule event notifications, including flow executions and exceptions, to Splunk or ELK.
--> Send API Analytics to Splunk or ELK. Sending data to third-party tools is not supported for applications deployed on CloudHub.
You can use the CloudHub custom log appender to integrate with your logging system. Reference: https://docs.mulesoft.com/runtime-manager/ https://docs.mulesoft.com/release-notes/runtime-manager-agent/runtime-manager-agent-release-notes
Additional Info:
It can be achieved in 3 steps:
1) register an agent to a runtime manager,
2) configure a gateway to enable API analytics to be sent to non MuleSoft analytics platform (Splunk for ex.) -- as highlighted in the following diagram and
3) setup dashboards.
An organization's governance process requires project teams to get formal approval from all key stakeholders for all new Integration design specifications. An integration Mule application Is being designed that interacts with various backend systems. The Mule application will be created using Anypoint Design Center or Anypoint Studio and will then be deployed to a customer-hosted runtime.
What key elements should be included in the integration design specification when requesting approval for this Mule application?
SLAs and non-functional requirements to access the backend systems. Only this option actually speaks to design parameters and reqs.*Below two are technical implementations and not the part of design: - Snapshots of the Mule application's flows, including their error handling - The credentials to access the backend systems and contact details for the administrator of each system*List of consumers is not relevant to the design
