NEW QUESTION # 28
A developer has been tasked by the integration architect to build a solution based on the Streaming API. The developer has done some research and has found there are different implementations of the events in Salesforce (Push Topic Events, Change Data Capture, Generic Streaming, Platform Events), but is unsure of to proceed with the implementation.The developer asks the system architect for some guidance.
What should the architect consider when making the recommendation?
- A. Change Data Capture can be published from Apex.
- B. Push Topic Event can define a custom payload.B Change Data Capture does not have record access support.
- C. Apex triggers can subscribe to Generic Events.
Answer: A
Explanation:
Explanation
Push Topic Events can define a custom payload, which is one of the factors that should be considered when choosing a Streaming API implementation. Push Topic Events are based on SOQL queries that define the data changes to be notified of. You can specify the fields to be returned in the event message by using the SELECT clause in the query. This allows you to customize the payload according to your needs2 References: Create a PushTopic
NEW QUESTION # 29
Northern Trail Outfitters (NTO) uses Salesforce to track leads, opportunities andorder details that convert leads to customers. However, Orders are managed by an external (remote) system. Sales representatives want to view and update real-time order information in Salesforce. NTO wants the data to only persist in the external system.
Which type of Integration should an architect recommend to meet this business requirement?
- A. Process Orchestration
- B. Data Visualization
- C. Data Synchronization
- D. Batch Processing
Answer: B
Explanation:
Explanation
Data Visualization is the type of integration that allows users to view real-time data from an external system without storing it in Salesforce. This can be achieved by using Lightning Web Components, Visualforce pages, or Canvas apps that display data from the external system using APIs or web services. Data Synchronization, Process Orchestration, and Batch Processing are types of integration that involve moving data between systems, which is not required by the business requirement. Reference: Salesforce Integration Architecture Designer Resource Guide, page 9
NEW QUESTION # 30
An enterprise customer that has more than 10 million customers have the following systems and conditions in their landscape:
- A. Salesforce CRM (CRM)- Customer information, Sales and Support information is maintained in CRM.
- B. Enterprise Document Management System (DMS) Bills mailed to customers are maintained in the Document Management system.
- C. Enterprise Billing System (EBS) - All customer's monthly billing is generated by this system.
Answer: A,B
Explanation:
Explanation
The integration consultant should consider the following authorization and authentication needs while integrating the DMS and ESB with Salesforce:
Users should be authorized to view information specific to the customer they are servicing without a need to search for customer. This means that the integration should provide a seamless and contextual access to the customer billing information and generated bills from the DMS and ESB, based on the customer record or case that the user is working on in Salesforce.
Consider Enterprise security needs for access to DMS and ESB. This means that the integration should comply with the security policies and standards of the Enterprise, such as encryption, auditing, logging, monitoring, etc.
Users should be authenticated into DMS and ESB without having to enter username and password. This means that the integration should use a single sign-on (SSO) mechanism that allows users to access multiple systems with one login credential, such as OAuth or SAML.
References: [Authorization Through Connected Apps and OAuth 2.0], [Single Sign-On for Desktop and Mobile Applications using SAML and OAuth]
NEW QUESTION # 31
Northern Trail Outfitters uses a custom Java application to display code coverage and test results for all of their enterprise applicationsand is planning to include Salesforce as well.
Which Salesforce API should an Integration Architect use to meet the requirement?
- A. Tooling API
- B. SOAP API
- C. Analytics REST API
- D. Metadata API
Answer: A
Explanation:
Explanation
Option D is correct because Tooling API is the Salesforce API that can be used to retrieve code coverage and test results for Apex classes and triggers. Tooling API provides REST and SOAP interfaces to access metadata about code, execute tests, and get test results12 Option A is incorrect because SOAP API is a Salesforce API that can be used to create, retrieve, update, or delete records, but not to get code coverage and test results. SOAP API uses a WSDL file to define the parameters for accessing data through the API3 Option B is incorrect because Analytics REST API is a Salesforce API that can be used to access data from reports and dashboards, but not from code coverage and test results. Analytics REST API provides a programmatic way to interact with analytics features such as lenses, datasets, and dashboards4 Option C is incorrect because Metadata API is a Salesforce API that can be used to retrieve, deploy, create, update, or delete customization information, such as custom object definitions and page layouts, but not code coverage and test results. Metadata API is mainly used for development tools or backup tools5 References: 1: Introducing Tooling API 2: Tooling API Examples 3: SOAP API Developer Guide 4: Analytics REST API Developer Guide 5: Metadata API Developer Guide

NEW QUESTION # 33
Northern Trail Outfitters (NTO) use Salesforce to track leads, opportunities, and to capture order details.
However, Salesforce isn't the system that holds or processes orders. After the order details are captured in Salesforce, an order must be created in the remote system, which manages the orders life cylce. The Integration Architect for the project is recommending a remote system that will subscribe to the platform event defined in Salesforce.
Which integration pattern should be used for this business use case?
- A. Batch Data Synchronization
- B. Remote Call In
- C. Fire and Forget
- D. Request and Reply
Answer: C
Explanation:
Explanation
The Fire and Forget pattern is suitable for this business use case because it allows sending a message from Salesforce to the remote system without waiting for a response or acknowledgement. This reduces the latency and complexity of the integration and enables asynchronous processing of the orders in the remote system. The platform event defined in Salesforce can be used to publish the order details to the remote system, which can subscribe to the event and create the order accordingly1
NEW QUESTION # 34
Northern Trail Outfitters' (NTO) Salesforce org usually goes through 8k-10k batches a day to synch data from external sources. NTO's Integration Architec has received requirements for a new custom object, FooBarc, for which 90M records will need to be loaded into the org. Once complete, 20GB (about 30M records) needs to be extracted to an external auditing system.
What should the architect recommend using to meet these requirements in a day?
- A. Insert using Bulk API 2.0 and query using REST API.
- B. Insert and query using Bulk API 1.0.
- C. Insert using Bulk API 1.0 and query using REST API.
- D. Insert and query using Bulk API 2.0.

- B. Which system will validate order shipping addresses?
- C. Can the fulfillment system participate in idempotent design to avoid duplicate orders?
- D. Can the fulfillment system implement a contract-first Outbound Messaging interface?
Answer: A,C
Explanation:
Explanation
The system constraint questions that should be considered when designing an integration to send orders from Salesforce to a fulfillment system are related to the performance, reliability, and scalability of the integration.
The latency and idempotency of the integration are important factors that affect these aspects. Therefore, the questions A and D are relevant for the integration design. The question B is related to the business logic of the order validation, which is not a system constraint question. The question C is related to the implementation details of the Outbound Messaging interface, which is not a system constraint question either
NEW QUESTION # 36
A subscription-based media company's system landscape forces many subscribers to maintain multiple accounts and to login more than once. An Identity and Access Management (IAM) system, which supports SAML and OpenId, was recently implemented to improve their subscriber experience through self-registration and Single Sign-On (SSO).
The IAM system must integrate with Salesforce to give new self-service customers instant access to Salesforce Community Cloud.
Which two requirements should the Salesforce Community Cloud support for self-registration and SSO?
Choose 2 answers
- A. SAML SSO and Registration Handler
- B. SAML SSO and just-in-time provisioning
- C. OpenId Connect Authentication Provider and Registration Handler
- D. OpenId Connect Authentication Provider and just-in-time provisioning
Answer: B,C
Explanation:
Explanation
The Salesforce Community Cloud should support OpenId Connect Authentication Provider and Registration Handler, and SAML SSO and just-in-time provisioning for self-registration and SSO. OpenId Connect is a protocol that allows users to authenticate with an external identity provider and access Salesforce resources. A registration handler is a class that implements the Auth.RegistrationHandler interface and defines how to create new users or update existing users in Salesforce from the information received from the identity provider. SAML SSO is a protocol that allows users to log in to Salesforce with a single credential from an identity provider. Just-in-time provisioning is a feature that allows creating or updating user accounts in Salesforce based on SAML assertions.

NEW QUESTION # 37
Northern Trail Outfitters (NTO) uses different shipping services for each of the 34 countries it serves. Services are added and removed frequently to optimize shipping times and costs. Sales Representatives serve all NTO customers globally and need to select between valid service(s) for the customer's country and request shipping estimates from that service.
Which two solutions should an architect propose?
Choose 2 answers
- A. Store shipping services in a picklist that is dependent on a country picklist.
- B. Invoke middleware service to retrieve valid shipping methods.
- C. Use Platform Events to construct and publish shipper-specific events.
- D. Use middleware to abstract the call to the specific shipping services.
Answer: B,D
Explanation:
Explanation
Invoking middleware service to retrieve valid shipping methods is a solution that can allow the sales representatives to select between valid services for the customer's country. The middleware service can act as a single point of entry for all shipping services and provide routing and transformation capabilities. Using middleware to abstract the call to the specific shipping services is a solution that can allow the sales representatives to request shipping estimates from the selected service. The middleware can hide the complexity and heterogeneity of the shipping services and provide mediation and orchestration capabilities.
Using Platform Events to construct and publish shipper-specific events is not a solution, as Platform Events are used for event-driven integration, not for web-service integration. Storing shipping services in a picklist that is dependent on a country picklist is not a solution, as it does not address how to request shipping estimates from the shipping services. Reference: Salesforce Integration Architecture Designer Resource Guide, page 16-17
NEW QUESTION # 38
Given the diagram below, a Salesforce org, middleware, and Historical data store (with
20million records and growing) exists with connectivity between them
Historical records are archived from Salesforce and moved to Historical Data store (which houses 20M records and growing; fine-tuned to be performant with search queries).
Call center agents use Salesforce, when reviewing occasional special cases, have requested access to view the related historical case items that relate to submit cases.
Which mechanism and patterns are recommended to maximize declarative configuration?
- A. Use an ETL tool with a Batch Data Synchronization pattern to migrate historical data into Salesforce and into a custom object (historical data) related to Case object.
- B. Use ESB tool with Data Virtualization pattern, expose OData endpoint, and then use Salesforce Connect to consume and display the External Object alongside with the Case object.
- C. C Use an ESB tool with a fire and forget pattern and then publish a platform event for the requested historical data.
- D. Use an ESB tool with Request-Reply pattern and then make a real-time Apex callout to the ESB endpoint to fetch and display component related to Case object
Answer: B
Explanation:
Explanation
The Data Virtualization pattern allows Salesforce to access external data sources without storing the data in Salesforce. This reduces the data storage and synchronization costs and enables real-time access to the historical data. Salesforce Connect can be used to consume OData endpoints exposed by the ESB tool and display the external objects as related lists or custom components on the Case object

- C. Build a custom Apex Callout to external Payment gateway service and provide success message to the CSR, the details of callouts and responses are logged for audit purposes.
- D. Make a callout to the payment gateway through ESB supporting error handling and logging for audit purposes.
Answer: D
Explanation:
Explanation
Make a callout to the payment gateway through ESB supporting error handling and logging for audit purposes. This solution meets the requirements of integrating with an external RESTful service, ensuring real-time updates to the CSR, and supporting post payment processes. ESB stands for Enterprise Service Bus, which is a software architecture model that allows communication between different applications via a common bus. ESB can handle the callout to the payment gateway service, and provide error handling, logging, routing, transformation, and orchestration capabilities. ESB can also integrate with other systems or services that are involved in the post payment processes, such as billing, invoicing, or reporting.
