MuleSoft Training

Introducing application networks and API-led connectivity.

• Explain what an application network is and its benefits
• Describe how to build an application network using API-led connectivity
• Explain what web services and APIs are
• Explore API directories and portals

  Introducing Anypoint Platform Identify all the components of Anypoint Platform.
  

• Describe the role of each component in building application networks
• Navigate Anypoint Platform
• Locate APIs and other assets needed to build integrations and APIs in Anypoint Exchange
• Build basic integrations to connect systems using Flow Designer

Designing APIs

•  Define APIs with RAML, the Restful API Modeling Language
• Mock APIs to test their design before they are built
• Make APIs discoverable by adding them to Anypoint Exchange

Create API portals for developers to learn how to use APIs

Building APIs

• Use Anypoint Studio to create flows graphically
• Build, run, and test Mule applications
• Use a connector to connect to databases
• Use the graphical DataWeave editor to transform data
• Create RESTful interfaces for applications from a RAML file
• Connect API interfaces to API implementations

Synchronize changes to API specifications between Anypoint Studio and Anypoint Platform

Deploying and managing APIs

• Describe the options for deploying Mule applications
• Deploy Mule applications to CloudHub
• Use API Manager to create and deploy API proxies to CloudHub
• Restrict access to API proxies

Accessing and modifying Mule events

• Log event data
• Debug Mule applications
• Read and write event properties
• Write expressions with the DataWeave expression language
• Create variables

Structuring Mule applications

• Create applications composed of multiple flows and subflows
• Pass messages between flows using asynchronous queues
• Encapsulate global elements in separate configuration files
• Specify application properties in a separate properties file and use them in the application
• Describe the purpose of each file and folder in a Mule project
• Define and manage application metadata

Consuming web services 

• Consume web services that have a connector in Anypoint Exchange
• Consume RESTful web services
• Consume SOAP web services
• Pass parameters to SOAP web services using the Transform Message component
• Transform data from multiple services to a canonical format

Controlling event flow

• Multicast events
• Route events based on conditions
• Validate events

Handling errors

• Handle messaging errors at the application, flow, and processor level
• Handle different types of errors, including custom errors
• Use different error scopes to either handle an error and continue execution of the parent flow or propagate an error to the parent flow
• Set the success and error response settings for an HTTP Listener
• Set reconnection strategies for system errors

Writing DataWeave transformations

• Write DataWeave expressions for basic XML, JSON, and Java transformations
• Write DataWeave transformations for complex data structures with repeated elements
• Define and use global and local variables and functions
• Use DataWeave functions
• Coerce and format strings, numbers, and dates
• Define and use custom data types
• Call Mule flows from DataWeave expressions
• Store DataWeave scripts in external files

Triggering flows

• Read and write files
• Trigger flows when files are added, created, or updated
• Trigger flows when new records are added to a database table
• Schedule flows to run at a certain time or frequency
• Persist and share data in flows using the Object Store
• Publish and consume JMS messages

Processing records

• Process items in a collection using the For Each scope
• Process records using the Batch Job scope
• Use filtering and aggregation in a batch step
