About MuleSoft Certified Developer - Integration and API Associate (Mule 3) 

A MuleSoft Certified Developer – Integration and API Associate (Mule 3) should be able to successfully work on basic Mule 3 projects with guidance and supervision. The MCD – Integration and API Associate (Mule 3) exam validates that a developer has the required knowledge and skills to design, build, test and debug, deploy, and manage basic APIs and integrations: moving from Anypoint Platform to Anypoint Studio and back.

Skills Acquired

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.

Course Outline

The MuleSoft Certified Developer - Integration and API Associate (Mule 3) Exam covers the following topics - 

Explaining application network basics

• 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 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.
• Apply correct DataWeave syntax to format strings, numbers, and dates.

Processing records

• List and compare and contrast the methods for processing individual records in a collection.
• Explain how Mule messages are processed by the Foreach scope.
• Use the Foreach scope to process records.

• 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
