Certified candidates should be able to:

  • Use MuleSoft-hosted Anypoint Platform to take a basic API through all the steps of its lifecycle: design, build, deploy, manage, and govern.
  • Use Anypoint Studio to build, test, and debug basic integrations and API implementations.
  • Connect to a range of resources — including databases, files, web services, SaaS applications, and JMS queues.
  • Perform basic data transformations using DataWeave.
  • Control message flow and handle errors.
  • Process batch records.

  • Explain MuleSoft’s proposal for closing the IT delivery gap.
  • Describe the role and characteristics of the “modern API.”
  • Describe the purpose and roles of a Center for Enablement (C4E).
  • Define and describe the benefits of API-led connectivity and application networks.
  • Define and correctly use the terms API, API implementation, API interface, API consumer, and API invocation.
  • Describe the basics of the HTTP protocol and the characteristics of requests and responses.
  • Describe the capabilities and high-level components of Anypoint Platform for the API lifecycle.


Designing and consuming APIs

  • Describe the lifecycle of the “modern API.”
  • Use RAML to define API resources, nested resources, and methods.
  • Identify when and how to define query parameters vs URI parameters.
  • Use RAML to define API parameters, requests, and responses.
  • Use RAML to define reusable data types and format-independent examples.
  • Read a RAML spec and formulate RESTful requests with query parameters and/or headers as appropriate.


Accessing and modifying Mule messages

  • Describe the Mule message data structure.
  • Use transformers to set message payloads, message properties, and flow variables.
  • Write MEL expressions to access and modify message payloads, message properties, and flow variables.
  • Enrich Mule messages using the Message Enricher.


Structuring Mule applications

  • Parameterize an application using property placeholders.
  • Define and reuse global configurations in an application.
  • Break an application into multiple flows using private flows, subflows, and the Flow Reference component.
  • Specify what data (payload, message properties, flow variables) is persisted between flows when a Flow Reference is used.
  • Specify what data (payload, message properties, flow variables) is persisted between flows when a Mule message crosses a transport boundary.
  • Specify what data (payload, message properties, flow variables) exists in a flow before and after a call in the middle of a flow to an external resource.


Building API implementation interfaces

  • Manually create a RESTful interface for a Mule application.
  • Describe the features and benefits of APIkit.
  • Use APIkit to create implementation flows from a RAML file.
  • Describe how requests are routed through flows generated by APIkit.


Routing messages

  • Use the Choice router to route messages based on conditional logic.
  • Use the Scatter-Gather router to multicast messages.
  • Use Filters to filter Mule messages.
  • Validate data using the Validation module.


Handling errors

  • Describe the default exception strategy in a Mule application.
  • Define a custom global default exception strategy for an application and identify in what situations it will be used.
  • Define exception strategies for flows.
  • Combine multiple catch exception strategies in a choice exception strategy.


Transforming data with DataWeave

  • Write DataWeave scripts to convert JSON, XML, and Java data structures to different data structures and data types.
  • Use DataWeave operators.
  • Define and use custom data types.
  • Apply correct DataWeave syntax to coerce data types.

  • Explain how Mule messages are processed by the Foreach scope.
  • Use the Foreach scope to process records.
  • Explain how Mule messages are processed in a Batch job.
  • Use a Batch element with Batch Steps, Batch Filters, and a Batch Commit to process records.
  • Use the Poll component to trigger a flow.
  • Describe the features, benefits, and process to use watermarking.
  • Configure watermarks in the Poll scope.
  • Persist data between flow executions using the Object Store.


Debugging and troubleshooting Mule applications
