MuleSoft Exam MCD-Level-2 Topic 1 Question 2 Discussion

Actual exam question for MuleSoft's MCD-Level-2 exam

Question #: 2
Topic #: 1

An API has been developed and deployed to CloudHub Among the policies applied to this API is an allowlist of IP addresses. A developer wants to run a test in Anypoint Studio and does not want any policies applied because their workstation is not included in the allowlist.

What must the developer do in order to run this test locally without the policies applied?

ACreate a properties file specifically for local development and set the API instance ID to a value that is not used in API Manager

BPass in the runtime parameter ''-Danpow.platform.gatekeeper=disabled''

CDeactivate the API in API Manager so the Autodiscovery element will not find the application when it runs in Studio

DRun the test as-s, with no changes because the Studio runtime will not attempt to connect to API Manager

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A

To run a test locally without the policies applied, the developer should create a properties file specifically for local development and set the API instance ID to a value that is not used in API Manager. This way, the developer can use different configuration properties for different environments and avoid triggering API autodiscovery when running tests locally. API autodiscovery is a mechanism that associates an API implementation with its corresponding API specification and policies in API Manager based on its API instance ID. By setting this ID to a value that does not exist in API Manager, the developer can prevent API autodiscovery from finding and applying any policies to the local test.

I agree, setting the API instance ID to an unused value makes sense.

Absolutely. Let's make sure we understand the rationale behind option B and be ready to defend it if needed. This is just the kind of question that can really separate the Mule experts from the newbies.

Haha, yeah, you never know with these certification exams. They love to keep us on our toes. But I think if we stick with option B and can explain our reasoning, we should be good to go.
