Anypoint Platform Development: Fundamentals (Mule 4) Training

Curriculum:

PART 1: Building Application Networks with Anypoint Platform 

Module 1: 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
• Make calls to secure and unsecured APIs

Module 2: Introducing Anypoint Platform

• Describe the benefits of Anypoint Platform and MuleSoft’s approach to be successful with it
• 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

Module 3: 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 the private Anypoint Exchange
• Create public API portals for external developers

Module 4: Building APIs

• Use Anypoint Studio to 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 RAML files
• Connect API interfaces to API implementations

Module 5: 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
• Use API Manager to restrict access to API proxies

PART 2: Building Applications with Anypoint Studio 

Module 6: 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

Module 7: 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

Module 8: 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

Module 9: Controlling Event Flow

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

Module 10: 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

Module 11: 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

PART 3: Building Applications to Synchronize Data

Module 12: 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 inflows 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
