In a hybrid, load-balanced, single cluster production environment running Mule applications in an active-active multi-node configuration, several considerations are critical for ensuring performance and reliability. The key consideration is the use of an external load balancer:

• Active-Active Multi-Node Cluster Configuration:
• External Load Balancer Requirement:
• Load Balancer Configuration:
• Mule Application Isolation:
• Handling Requests:
• Benefits:

Correct answer is Create WSDL specification using text editor SOAP services are specified using WSDL. A client program connecting to a web service can read the WSDL to determine what functions are available on the server. We can not create WSDL specification in Design Center. We need to use external text editor to create WSDL.

Explanation

Correct answer is Database polling continues Only HTTP requests sent to the remaining node continue to be accepted. Explanation : Architecture descripted in the question could be described as follows.When node 1 is down , DB polling will still continue via node 2 . Also requests which are coming directly to node 2 will also be accepted and processed in BAU fashion. Only thing that wont work is when requests are sent to Node 1 HTTP connector. The flaw with this architecture is HTTP clients are sending HTTP requests directly to individual cluster nodes. By default, clustering Mule runtime engines ensures high system availability. If a Mule runtime engine node becomes unavailable due to failure or planned downtime, another node in the cluster can assume the workload and continue to process existing events and messages

Explanation

Correct answer is Application A accesses the persistent object store via the Object Store REST API Application B uses the Object Store connector to access a persistent object * Object Store v2 lets CloudHub applications store data and states across batch processes, Mule components and applications, from within an application or by using the Object Store REST API. * On-premise Mule applications cannot use Object Store v2. * You can select Object Store v2 as the implementation for Mule 3 and Mule 4 in CloudHub by checking the Object Store V2 checkbox in Runtime Manager at deployment time. * CloudHub Mule applications can use Object Store connector to write to the object store * The only way on-premises Mule applications can access Object Store v2 is via the Object Store REST API. * You can configure a Mule app to use the Object Store REST API to store and retrieve values from an object store in another Mule app.
