whats @ used for in dw? and how does it work given. Consider

%dw 2.0 var myVar = read(‘

SomeBrand ‘,

‘application/xml’)

output application/json

{ item: [ { “type” : myVar.product.@.”type”,

“name” : myVar.product.brand,

“attributes”: myVar.product.@ } ] }

XML Attribute Selector (.@myKey)

@, .@keyName

String value of the selected attribute’. Pay attention when something comes after @ vs nothing. .@ take all attributes and represent it as object and not array.

{
“item”: [
{
“type”: “electronic”,
“name”: “SomeBrand”,
“attributes”: {
“id”: “1”,
“type”: “electronic”
}
}
]
}

type of queues in Anypoint MQ?j

1) Standard queue

These queues don’t guarantee a specific message order. Standard queues are the best fit for applications in which messages must be delivered quickly.

Anypoint MQ supports up to 120,000 in-flight messages per standard queue.

2) FIFO (first in, first out) queue

These queues ensure that your messages arrive in order. FIFO queues are the best fit for applications requiring strict message ordering and exactly-once delivery, but in which message delivery speed is of less importance. See FIFO Queues.

Anypoint MQ supports 10 in-flight messages per message group in a FIFO queue. Anypoint MQ doesn’t limit the number of message groups in a FIFO queue.

1) What DataWeave 2.0 type can be used as input to a mapObject operation? 2) Whats output given

%dw 2.0
output application/json
—
{“a”:”b”,”c”:”d”} mapObject (value,key,index) -> { (index) : { (value):key} }

1) Object (not map or array or anything)
2) { “0”: { “b”: “a” }, “1”: { “d”: “c” } }
Obs! pay attention to the order of value, key, index
as it can be shuffled on the exam. Remember it as V.K.I , sounds almost like BMI.

ns html http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/
ns furniture https://www.w3schools.com/furniture
—
root: {
b: payload.root.furniture#table..name
}

given: TODO: fix pic

just like Single level Explicit Selector, or the Indexed Selector, the Descendants Selector returns the value of the key:value pair that matches the expression.

Major versions = first digit in 1.2.3

When introducing a change in the structure of the API that requires the user of the API to adapt the interface on the consumer side, such as a new required operation argument

Minor versions

When introducing a backward compatible change to the API that does not require an API user to change, such as a new optional element

Patch versions

When introducing a backward compatible bug fix or documentation update

Scatter-Gather sends the event to each route concurrently and returns a collection of all results. What is the final output of the Scatter-Gather?

how do you format currency String in dataweave and what parenthesis type do you use for formatting?

payload map { 'price' : $.price as String {format: "£#,###.00"} }

Provided this is json input: [ { "symbol": "Krona" } ] and below is transformation, what is the outcome exactly and why? %dw 2.0 output application/json --- payload map { 'code' : lower($.symbol) }

[ { "code": "krona" } ] because 1) The map function transforms data 2) It iterates over the elements in an array 3) It applies a transformation to each element 4) Applies only to array input and most importan!!! : It can only output an array

Do we need to import functions that reside in dw::core? e.g. %dw 2.0 import dw::core::Strings fun capitalizeKey(value:String) = Strings::capitalize(value) ++ "Key" --- payload mapObject ((value, key) -\> { (capitalizeKey(key as String)) : value } )

yes we do, otherwise we get Unable to resolve reference of: `Strings::capitalize`. 7| fun capitalizeKey(value:String) = Strings::capitalize(value) ++ "Key" ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Location: main (line: 7, column:35)

if i have a dataweave function in src/main/resources/modules/MyModule.dwl then how do i import in in my dataweave?

import modules::MyModule See https://developer.mulesoft.com/learn/dataweave/ for details. P.s. it seems we just add another ::nextLevel if nextLevel was a catalogue under modules containing MyModules.dwl instead

can you import variable and function from you dw script? can you alias those?

yes, given custom module: %dw 2.0 fun myFunc(name:String) = name ++ "\_" var myVar = "Test" i would import and alias and use it like this %dw 2.0 import myFunc as appendDash, myVar as weaveName from modules::MyModule var myVar = "Mapping" output application/json --- appendDash("dataweave") ++ weaveName ++ "\_" ++ myVar

when you see a validate element in the flow, like "validation:is-blank-string", will it throw exception if is a not empty?

yes, here is curl followed by the result curl -id "test" http://localhost:8081/sp HTTP/1.1 500 Server Error Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Length: 29 Date: Wed, 17 Nov 2021 21:15:34 GMT Connection: close whatever validate message!!!

name 3 things you use Api manager for except the usual: - Create and deploy API proxies. - Define SLA tiers and apply runtime policies

– Approve, reject, or revoke access to APIs by clients – Promote managed APIs between environments – Review API analytics

what is attribute selector?

and to select it payload.user.@name See https://docs.mulesoft.com/dataweave/2.2/dataweave-selectors

what does it mean to select EACH, i mean EACH descendant for this and whats the expression? how many childs will it be? Weave BAT BDD

it should be 4 nodes and 3 single strins %dw 2.0 output application/json --- payload.. and output is [ { "user": { "name": "Weave", "user": { "name": "BAT", "user": { "name": "BDD" } } } }, { "name": "Weave", "user": { "name": "BAT", "user": { "name": "BDD" } } }, "Weave", { "name": "BAT", "user": { "name": "BDD" } }, "BAT", { "name": "BDD" }, "BDD" ]

check out do syntax with --- in the middle of delclaration, whats allowed in terms of scoping, imports etc

whats another special thing about .. operator?

The DataWeave script uses .. to select the values of all FIRST, not any but FIRST, name elements from the input payload and output those values into a JSON array. E.g. payload..name for Weave BAT Munit BDD gives [ "Weave", "BAT", "BDD" ]

does single quotes work as good as doublequotes in dataweae? e.g. payload.root.h#'$(payload.root.@ref)' vs payload.root.h#"$(payload.root.@ref)"

yes, they do

what is this selector called and what does it produce? Given Mariano Martin Leandro Admin org\_owner and dataweave: %dw 2.0 output application/xml --- { users: payload.users.&user }

its called Key-Value Pair Selector (.&myKey) Mariano Martin Leandro

whats the difference between Custom Dataweave "Mapping File" and "Mapping Module"

Mapping file looks like normal mapping stored in a separate file. Given your mapping file look like: %dw 2.0 import dw::core::Strings fun capitalizeKey(value:String) = Strings::capitalize(value) ++ "Key" --- payload mapObject ((value, key) -\> { (capitalizeKey(key as String)) : value } ) then you can use it like these: %dw 2.0 import modules::MyMapping output application/json --- MyMapping::main(payload: { "user" : "bar" }) See https://docs.mulesoft.com/dataweave/2.4/dataweave-create-module

how can dw "mapping module" look like ?

e.g. : %dw 2.0 fun myFunc(myInput: String) = myInput ++ "\_" var name = "MyData" ns mynamespace http://acme.com/bar see See https://docs.mulesoft.com/dataweave/2.4/dataweave-create-module

what are the several ways to import mapping module?

``` 1) Import the module, for example: import modules::MyModule. In this case, you must include the name of the module when you call the element (here, a function) in it, for example: MyModule::myFunc. ``` ``` 2) Import all elements from the module, for example: import \* from modules::MyModule. In this case, you do not need to include the name of the module when you call the element. For example: myFunc("dataweave") ++ "name" works. ``` ``` 3) Import specific elements from a module, for example: import myFunc from modules::MyModule. In this case, you do not need to include the name of the module when you call the element. For example: myFunc("dataweave") ++ "name" works. You can import multiple elements from the module like this, for example: import myFunc someOtherFunction from modules::MyModule (assuming both myFunc and someOtherFunction are defined in the module). ```

when you want to have map operation as a node value like trains: ....something map operation here ... what are the parentheses you use?

When mapping array elements (JSON or JAVA) to XML, wrap the map operations in {(..)} e.g. trains: {( alexMap map ((something, index) -\> train : { ..

whats important to remember about scope of foreach?

changes made to payload in for each loop are not available outside for each scope. delcaring/incrementing variable is fine though

For each method of the RAML specification , what does the REST connect module provide?

For each method of the RAML specification , REST connect module provide an OPERATION, not a flow. Think how it looks in the palette! And dont forget The Exchange backend uses REST Connect to transparently convert a REST API specification to a Mule 3 and Mule 4 connector.

A Scatter-Gather processes three separate HTTP requests. Each request returns a Mule event with a JSON payload. What is the final output of the Scatter-Gather?

An object containing Mule event objects, not payload, not messages, but event objects

An SLA based policy has been enabled in API Manager. What is the next step to configure API proxy to enforce new SLA policy?

Add required headers to RAML specification and redeploy new API proxy

By default , what happens to a file after it is read using an FTP connector Read operation

The file stays in the same folder unchanged

What payload is returned by a Database SELECT operation that does not match any rows in database?

Empty array

Is this a working declaration: ? %dw 2.0 output application/json fun createUserData(name, countryCode : String = "US") = { "User name" : name, "Location": countryCode} --- [createUserData("Cristian", "AR"), createUserData("Max The Mule")]

yes

Which one will be called? %dw 2.0 output application/json fun toUpper(a: String) = upper(a) fun toUpper(a: Any) = null --- toUpper("hi!")

the first one

What is the default port used by Mule application debugger configuration in Anypoint Studio?

6666

Does syntax with wildcard like /mypath/* work both in http listener and http listener configurations?

No, Please note wildcards wont work in HTTP Listener configurations. They will work only when you configure path in HTTP Listener

what is the result of this? %dw 2.0 output application/json --- ([0, 1] + [0, 2])

//second array injected inside like if its an element [ 0, 1, [ 0, 2 ] ]

Result 20231201: pass., 4-5 out of max 8 questions failed. questions i wondered: 1)batch steps does not modify payload right. what are those stats in the end then when printing payload. stepsvar in the end? 2) does calling another non-private flow follow same rules like calling private flow? when it comes to err handling, attribs, etc?
