Explanation

Key to this question lies in the fact that Process API are not meant to be accessed directly by clients. Lets analyze options one by one. Client ID enforcement : This is applied at process API level generally to ensure that identity of API clients is always known and available for API-based analytics Rate Limiting : This policy is applied on Process Level API to secure API's against degradation of service that can happen in case load received is more than it can handle Custom circuit breaker : This is also quite useful feature on process level API's as it saves the API client the wasted time and effort of invoking a failing API. JSON threat protection : This policy is not required at Process API and rather implemented as Experience API's. This policy is used to safeguard application from malicious attacks by injecting malicious code in JSON object. As ideally Process API's are never called from external world , this policy is never used on Process API's Hence correct answer is JSON threat protection MuleSoft Documentation Reference : https://docs.mulesoft.com/api-manager/2.x/policy-mule3-json-threat

Explanation

* Semantic Versioning is a 3-component number in the format of X.Y.Z, where :

X stands for a major version.

Y stands for a minor version:

Z stands for a patch.

So, SemVer is of the form Major.Minor.Patch Coming to our question , minor version of the API has been changed which is backward compatible. Hence there is no change required on API client end. If they want to make use of new featured that have been added as a part of minor version change they may need to change code at their end. Hence correct answer is The API client code ONLY needs to be changed if it needs to take advantage of new features.

Explanation

* Each Batch Job uses SEVERAL THREADS for the Batch Steps

* Each Batch Step instance receives ONE record at a time as the payload. It's not received in a block, as it does not wait for multiple records to be completed before moving to next batch step. (So Option D is out of choice)

* RECORDS are processed IN PARALLEL within and between the two Batch Steps.

* RECORDS are not processed in order. Let's say if second record completes batch_step_1 before record 1, then it moves to batch_step_2 before record 1. (So option C and D are out of choice)

* A batch job is the scope element in an application in which Mule processes a message payload as a batch of records. The term batch job is inclusive of all three phases of processing: Load and Dispatch, Process, and On Complete.

* A batch job instance is an occurrence in a Mule application whenever a Mule flow executes a batch job. Mule creates the batch job instance in the Load and Dispatch phase. Every batch job instance is identified internally using a unique String known as batch job instance id.
