Question #3

You are designing a process that is anticipated to be executed multiple times a day. This process retrieves data from an external system and then calls various utility processes as needed. The mam process will not use the results of the utility processes, and there are no user forms anywhere.

C . The default time zone for the environment as specified in the Administration Console
D . The time zone of the user who is completing the input task.

Question #5

Review the following resultof an explain statement:

Which two conclusions can you draw from this?

A . The request is good enough to support a high volume of data. but could demonstrate some limitations if the developer queries information related to the product
B . The worst join isthe one between the table order_detail and order.
C . The join between the tables order_detail, order and customerneeds to be tine-tuned due to indices.
D . The join between the tables 0rder_detail and productneeds to be fine-tuned due to Indices
E . The worst join is the one between the table order_detail and customer

Question #6

You need to design a complex Appian integration to call a RESTful API. The RESTful API will be used to update a case in a customer’s legacy system.

What are three prerequisites for designing the integration?

A . Define the HTTP method that the integration will use.
B . Understand the content of the expected body. Deluding each field type and their limits
C . Understand whether this integration will be used in an interface or in a process model
D . Understand the different error codes managed by the API and the process of error handing m Appall
E . Understand the business rules to be applied to ensure the business logic of the data

Correct Answer: A B D
A B D

Explanation:

To design a complex Appian integration to call a RESTful API, you need to have some prerequisites, such as:

– Define the HTTP method that the integration will use. The HTTP method is the action that the integration will perform on the API, such as GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, or DELETE. The HTTP method determines how the data will be sent and received by the API, and what kind of response will be expected.

– Understand the content of the expected body, including each field type and their limits. The body is the data that the integration will send to the API, or receive from the API, depending on the HTTP method. The body can be in different formats, such as JSON, XML, or form data. You need to understand how to structure the body according to the API specification, and what kind of data types and values are allowed for each field.

– Understand the different error codes managed by the API and the process of error handling in Appian. The error codes are the status codes that indicate whether the API request was successful or not, and what kind of problem occurred if not. The error codes can range from 200 (OK) to 500 (Internal Server Error), and each code has a different meaning and implication. You need to understand how to handle different error codes in Appian, and how to display meaningful messages to the user or log them for debugging purposes.

The other two options are not prerequisites for designing the integration, but rather considerations for implementing it.

– Understand whether this integration will be used in an interface or in a process model. This is not a prerequisite, but rather a decision that you need to make based on your application requirements and design. You can use an integration either in an interface or in a process model, depending on where you need to call the API and how you want to handle the response. For example, if you need to update a case in real-time based on user input, you may want to use an integration in an interface. If you need to update a case periodically based on a schedule or an event, you may want to use an integration in a process model.

– Understand the business rules to be applied to ensure the business logic of the data. This is not a prerequisite, but rather a part of your application logic that you need to implement after designing the integration. You need to apply business rules to validate, transform, or enrich the data that you send or

receive from the API, according to your business requirements and logic. For example, you may need to check if the case status is valid before updating it in the legacy system, or you may need to add some additional information to the case data before displaying it in Appian.

Question #7

You are reviewing the Engine Performance Logs in Production for a single application thathas been live for six months. This application experiences concurrent user activity and has a fairly sustained load during business hours. The client has reported performance issues with the application during business hours.

During your investigation, you notice a high Work Queue – Java Work Queue Size value in the logs You also notice unattended process activities, including timer events and sending notifications emails, are taking far longer to execute than normal.

The client Increased the number of CPU cores prior to the application going live

What is the next recommendation?

A . Add more engine replicas.
B . Optimize slow-performing user interfaces.
C . Add more application servers.
D . Add execution and analytics shards

Question #8

You have created a Web API in Appian. with the following URL to call it:

https://exampleappiancloud.com/suite/webapi/usef_managefnent/ users?Username=)=john.smith.

Which is the connect syntax forreferring to the user name parameter’

A . httpirequest.queryParameters users username
B . httpirequest usees username
C . httpirequest formData username
D . httpirequest queryParameters.username

Question #9

You are asked to design a case management system for a client in addition to storing some basic metadata about a case, one of the client s requirements Is the ability for users to update a case The client would like any user in their organization of 500 people to be able to make these updates The users are all based in the company’s headquarters, and there will be frequent cases where users are attempting to edit the same case. The client wants to ensure no information Is lost when these edits occur and does not want the solution to burden their process administrators with any additional effort.

Which data locking approach should you recommend?

A . Allow edits without locking the case GDI
B . Use the database lo implement tow lewd pessimistic locking.
D . Design a process report and query to determine who opened the edit form first

Question #10

You have an active development team (Team A) building enhancements for an application (App X’). and ate currently using the TEST environment for UAT.

A separate operations team (‘Team B) discovers a critical error in the Production instance of App X that they must remediate However. Team 6 does not have a hotfix stream for which to accomplish this. The available environments are DEV. TEST, and PROD

Which risk mitigation effort should both teams employ to ensure Team AS capital project is only minorly interrupted, and Team B s critical fix can be completed and deployed quickly to end users?

A . Team 8 must communicate to Team A which component will be addressed in the hotfix to avoid overlap of changes It overlap exists, the component must be versioned to its PROD state before being remediated and deployed, and then versioned back to its latest development state If overlap does not exist, the component may be remediated and deployed without any version changes
B . Team A must analyze their current codebase in OEV lo merge the hotfix changes into their latest enhancements. Team B is then requited to wait for the hotfix to follow regular deployment protocols from DEV to the PROO environment.
C . Team 8 must address changes in the TEST environment These changes can then be tested and deployed directly to PROD. Once the deployment is complete. Team B can then communicate their changes to Teams to ensure they are Incorporated as a part of the next release.
D . Team 8 must address the changes directly in PROD. As there is no hotfix stream, and OEV and TEST are being utilized for active development it is best to avoid a conflict of components. Once Team A has completed their enhancements work. Team 6 can update DEV and TEST accordingly.
