For the CDT to be created, which data type should you choose for the BOOK_ID? (Choose the best answer.)

Question9: You are tasked with configuring a process model to store the result of an expression rule for every item in a list.
Which process model design has the lowest memory footprint?

Question10: An organization has decided to integrate with a third-party to scan incoming documents and capture the details in a table called [appian].[document]. Each document will form a new case in Appian to be displayed on a Record List.
The record needs to show data from both [appian].[document] and [appian].[caseData], which holds additional case information.
What is the most efficient way to achieve this?

Question11: You need to create a plug-in to perform a job in the background. The plug-in should not be available under an expression rule, connected system, or the process model.
What type of plug-in should you create? (Choose the best answer.)

Question12: You need to insert the deleted row of a table into a history table for audit purposes.
What is the most efficient method to achieve this?

Question13: You are creating an expression rule that will be reused throughout your environment.
What are two benefits of including meaningful test cases when creating a new expression rule? (Choose two.)

Question14: Which user role should be used to allow external systems to invoke Appian web APIs?

Question15: You are troubleshooting slow response times on a SAIL interface.
What are two potential causes of the performance issues? (Choose two.)

Question16: When looking at the process model metrics for your application, you see that one of your process models has a low completion rate of 10%.
What are two potential causes of this? (Choose two.)

Question17: You are using pie charts.
What is correct representation of Appian best practices? (Choose the best answer.)

Question18: Which two statements are true for importing Appian applications? (Choose two.)

Question19: You are reviewing a recent Health Check report and notice that a process model has high memory consumption.
What are three possible reasons for this? (Choose three.)

Question20: You need to show joined data from 5 tables. Each table contains a large number of rows and could generate a large result set after executing the Joins.
The business is not expecting live data, and a 2-hour refresh is acceptable. Performance is a top priority.
What should you use? (Choose the best answer.)

Question21: Your organization is considering options for integrating with external systems from within Appian.
Which Appian object is designed to allow you to share base URL and authentication details across multiple integrations? (Choose the best answer.)

Question22: You are analyzing a poorly-performing process model.
You find that the process model in question has a lot of nodes and is mainly used to do background updates.
Which two things can be done to increase its performance? (Choose two.)

Question23: You are required to display information for pending tasks for each individual in an application. There will be tasks for a single specific application.
Which context type should you choose for the Task Report Type?

Question24: HOTSPOT
Match each of the business data concepts to an Appian data type. Each data type may be used once, more than once, or not at all.

Question25: Users are reporting that their application is slow to load customer records with many transactions.
Using performance monitoring tools, you find that the following interface definition is responsible for the vast majority of page load time:

You also notice that both queries (rule!APP_GetTransactionsWithFilters and rule!APP_GetTransactionTypeWithFilters) take about 25 milliseconds each to execute when you test them using expression editor.
Which change would decrease the load time of this interface component the most? (Choose the best answer.)

Question26: The IT stakeholder wants to understand which processes have the highest footprint.
What are the two places to get information on process model memory usage? (Choose two.)

Question27: During the design review, you identified slow-operating expression rules querying a specific data store.
Which metric from the data_store_details.csv file will help you understand the "number of operations against data store?" (Choose the best answer.)

Question28: As a developer, you have created a Web API.
To execute the API, what is the minimum privilege the end user should have? (Choose the best answer.)

Question29: Which two statements about the a!queryEntity() function are true? (Choose two.)

Question30: There is a need to relate two entities in the data structure: Employee and Skill.
Employees can have multiple skills, and a single skill can relate to multiple employees.
What kind of relationship would these entities have, and what is the minimum number of tables required to implement the design, according to Appian best practices? (Choose the best answer.)

Question31: You are on a project where the goal is to use Appian Sites to create and edit invoices issued to customers.
This process model is being used as a related action, to edit an Invoice. You have already created a record for invoices.
Review the following image:
