Listener in the same application, so that you can watch event data as it moves in and out of
a Mule application. You will:
● Create a second flow with an HTTP Listener.
● Make an HTTP request from the first flow to the new HTTP Listener.
● View the event data as it moves through both flows.
NOTE:You are making an HTTP request from one flowto another in this exercise only so
you can watch the value of event data as it moves in and out of a Mule application. You will
learn how to pass events between flows within and between Mule applications in the next
module.

NOTE: This JSON structure does not match that specified in the API: mua-flights-api.raml in
src/main/resources/api. The datashould, of course,be transformed so the response from
the API matches this specification – but we are going to hold off doing that right now so
that the scenario stays simpler for the error handling module (there is one less error to
handle at the beginning).

Walkthrough 4-3: Validate events
In this walkthrough, you use a validator to check if a query parameter called code with a
value of SFO, LAX, CLE, PDX, or PDF is sent with a request and to throw an error if it is not.
You will:
● Add the Validation module to a project.
● Use an Is true validator to check if a query parameter called code with a value of
SFO, LAX, CLE, PDX, or PDF is sent with a request.
● Return a custom error message if the condition is not met.

Walkthrough 8-3: Use filtering and aggregation in a batch step
In this walkthrough, you use a batch job to synchronize account database records to
Salesforce. You will:
● Use a batch job to synchronize database records (with your postal code) to
Salesforce.
● In a first batch step, check to see if the record already exists in Salesforce.
● In a second batch step, add the record to Salesforce.
● Use a batch step filter so the second batch step is only executed for specific records.
● Use a Batch Aggregator scope to commit records in batches.
