The Mendix Client is:
The component within the Mendix Platform that directly talks to the database server.
A Windows application that communicates with the Mendix Runtime.
A Java application that executes your pages.
Built on a combination of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript and runs in your browser.
7
Static resources in Mendix:
Can never be changed using the Mendix Modeler.
Are transmitted using a proprietary HTTP-like protocol.
Include stylesheets transmitted in CSS format to the client.
Include pages transmitted in Modeler format to the client
8
The Communication between the Mendix Runtime and Database Server:
Includes communication between the supported database servers using JDBC.
Is fully based on proprietary protocols and can never be examined in case of issues.
Always takes a distinct form when using a mobile device instead of a desktop device to access an app.
Needs to be manually triggered by the Mendix developer at all times.
9
What is NOT an advantage of using the database source option versus the XPath option?
The database source option can be used to specify constraints that span entities.
Constraints can be specified much easier and with a lot of guidance by the Modeler.
The database source option does not require understanding of XPath.
The database source option is also available on pages that need to be available in offline mode.
10
When you want to show a list of shipped orders, will the Database data source generate a different request than the XPath data source option?
Yes, the database data source relies on a different request protocol than the XPath data source.
No, Mendix Runtime will analyze the data source, and will try to parse it in the same request.
No, the database data source will always lead to the same request as the XPath data source.
Yes, when using the database data source, data will always be retrieved from the local device.
11
Which of the following is not a possible source of data for a microflow?
A page passed as input parameter by another microflow.
A variable passed as input parameter by another microflow.
An object received as input parameter from another microflow.
An object retrieved from the database using a retrieve action.
12
Is the following statement true or false? By association will always be an in-memory retrieve.
True, technically, a retrieve by association cannot result in a query on the database.
True, associated objects are always available in memory, therefore it is always an in-memory retrieve.
False, a retrieve by association will always retrieve the objects from the database directly, to maintain data consistency.
False, if objects aren’t available in memory, a retrieve by association will automatically result in a database retrieve.
13
Is there ever a reason to retrieve an object from database instead of over association?
Yes, in cases where constraints other than a single association are applicable or where stored database values are required.
Yes, retrieving from the database makes sure that all the configured entity access rules are applied.
No, by retrieving over association the object will be retrieved from the object cache (if available), which improves performance.
No, retrieving from database will exhibit the same behavior as retrieving over association if the object is retrievable over association.
14
What is an important rule to keep in mind when creating effective indexes?
The index should have the same order of attributes defined as in search and retrieve queries in order to be available for queries.
An index must be manually refreshed after deployment to make sure it’s accurate and up to date.
An index makes sense only when querying non-persistent objects.
The index should be defined immediately after the attributes have been defined on the entity.
15
Which of the following is a valid Mendix token?
CurrentDate
CurrentTime
CurrentAccount
CurrentUser
16
You are creating a microflow where you have a Change Object activity. The change is dependent on a lot of checks and decisions (but, whichever choice, the change always happens). What is the best way to model this microflow?
Create a new variable in which you use an if-then-else statement to determine the correct value and use the variable in the Change Object activity.
Use Decisions, but place them in a sub-microflow to determine what the new value should be, and then use the return value of that sub-microflow in the Change Object activity.
For each check, place a Decision in the microflow so that each step is visible and easy to read.
Use an if-then-else statement directly in the Change Object activity to set the correct value.
17
You need to determine what day of the week it is. What is the easiest way to do this?
There is a token available for that: CurrentDayOfWeek.
It is not possible to do this.
Use the BeginOfCurrentWeek and BeginOfCurrentDay tokens in combination with the daysBetween function and an if-then-else statement to do this.
Use the formatDateTime function to achieve this.
18
What is the best approach to retrieve an object over association, while also checking whether the association exists?
Use a decision to first check whether the association exists. If it does, retrieve the associated object.
Use a business rule to check whether the association exists. If it does, retrieve the associated object and return it to the microflow.
First retrieve the object and then use a decision to check whether the object is empty or not.
Use an if-then-else statement to only retrieve the object if the association exists.
19
Which of the following statements about lists is true?
A list can have, among others, the following origins: a retrieve action, the creation of a new list, and the result of an input parameter.
A list can contain different types of objects.
Before looping through a list, you have to check that it isn’t empty.
If you want to empty a list, you have to remove the objects in the list one by one.
20
You have to determine how many customers are in the database and find that there are at least a couple thousand. How do you handle this?
Retrieve all the customers at once and use an aggregate list activity to count them. Because this is an optimized query on the database, it will be very light and safe to use, even for big lists.
Store the number of customers in the database, and update every time you add or delete a customer.
Retrieve all the customers at once and loop through them to count them all.
Retrieve the customers in batches of 500 and loop through them to count them all. In this way, you ensure that you don’t overload the system with too much data.
21
What does the List Operation tail do?
It creates a log that tracks all changes to the list.
It sorts the list in descending order with the last item first.
It grabs the last element in the list.
It grabs all elements in the list except the first element.
22
When would you typically use a List Operation?
When creating report data to view in chart widgets.
All of these answers are correct.
To avoid complex XPaths.
When you are working with objects that only exist in memory.
23
You’ve created a microflow that contains a loop. This loop uses the same logic as a microflow you have already built, so you decide to call this microflow as a sub-microflow inside the loop so that you can reuse the functionality. What do you check before doing this?
You make sure that there are no commits in the sub-microflow, since it is not good for your application to commit inside of a loop.
If there are retrieve activities in the sub-microflow for data you already have available in the main microflow, check whether it can be passed along as an input parameter instead.
If the sub-microflow uses a return value, you check whether it is really needed.
All of these answers are correct.
24
Your application contains a microflow that calls three sub-microflows. Each of these sub-microflows does a retrieve from the database on the same entity. Should you change this?
Yes, you should only do the retrieve in the first sub-microflow. You should then pass the retrieved object back to the main microflow as a return value and use this return value as an input parameter for the other two sub-microflows.
No, you shouldn’t retrieve it in the main microflow because it is not used there.
No, because after the first retrieve, the object will be available in memory.
Yes, you should do the retrieve in the main microflow and then pass it along to the three sub-microflows as an input parameter.
25
Which statement about rules is true?
A rule can only be called from within a decision.
You can give the user validation feedback messages from within a rule.
You can change objects in a rule.
You can generate a document inside a rule.
26
What is a good reason to use a sub microflow?
To increase readability of large microflows.
All of these answer options are correct.
To reuse the same bit of logic in multiple microflows.
To use it as a ‘get or create’ microflow.
27
To which of the following errors types does the built-in consistency checker in the Modeler alert you?
Parts of the application that will not run correctly in the cloud.
Functional gaps in your application.
Technical issues in your model.
Memory leaks that might jeopardize the stability of your application.
28

The debugger is always enabled in the Mendix Cloud Portal before it can be used remotely.
The debugger can only be run locally and on the test/acceptance cloud environments.
The output of log nodes can be used to isolate problems and place breakpoints in a smarter way.
When placing breakpoints inside a loop, there is no way of preventing a break on every iteration of the loop.
29
Can you pause a microflow only when certain conditions are met?
Yes, by placing a breakpoint on an decision.
No, this isn’t possible.
Yes, by adding this setting to the cloud environment.
Yes, by adding a conditional breakpoint.
30

In the middle of a microflow
At the end of the microflow
In a Sub-Microflow
At the beginning of the microflow
