NEW QUESTION # 76
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 tomeet the requirement?
- A. Tooling API
- B. SOAP API
- C. Analytics REST API
- D. Metadata API
Answer: A
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 RESTAPI provides a programmatic way to interact with analyticsfeatures 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 mainlyused for development tools or backup tools5 References: 1: Introducing Tooling API 2: Tooling API Examples 3: SOAP API Developer Guide 4:

NEW QUESTION # 77
What should an Integration architect consider when recommending Platform Events as an Integration solution?
- A. Subscribe to an AssetTokenEvent stream to monitor OAuth 2.0 authentication activity.
- B. Event Monitoring Is used to track user activity, such as logins and running reports.
- C. When an event definition Is deleted, It's permanently removed and can't be restored.
Answer: C
Explanation:
Event Monitoring is used to track user activity, such as loginsand running reports, but it is not related to Platform Events. Subscribe to an AssetTokenEvent stream to monitor OAuth 2.0 authentication activity is also not related to Platform Events. When an event definition is deleted, it's permanently removed and can't berestored. This means that the event definition and its associated data are no longer available for subscribers or queries.
NEW QUESTION # 78
An Enterprise Customer is planning to implement Salesforce to support case management. Below, is their current system landscape diagram.
Considering Salesforce capabilities, what should the Integration Architect evaluate when integrating Salesforce with the current system landscape?
- A. Integrating Salesforce with Order Management System, Data Warehouse and Case Management System.
- B. Integrating Salesforce with Order Management System, Email Management System and Case Management System.
- C. Integrating Salesforce with Data Warehouse, Order Management and Email Management System.
- D. Integrating Salesforce with Email Management System, Order Management System and Case Management System.
Answer: C
Explanation:
Explanation
Integrating Salesforce with Data Warehouse, Order Management and Email Management System is the best option considering Salesforce capabilities. Salesforce can be used as the primary case management system, replacing the existing one. Salesforce can also integrate with the Data Warehouse to provide analytics and reporting on case data. Salesforce can integrate with the Order Management System to access order information related to cases. Salesforce can integrate with the Email Management System to send and receive emails from customers and agents. Reference: Salesforce Integration Architecture Designer Resource Guide, page 16
NEW QUESTION # 79
A customer is evaluating the Platform Events solution and would like help in comparing/contrasting it with Outbound Messaging for real-time/near real-time needs.
They expect 3,000 customers to view messages in Salesforce.
What should be evaluated and highlighted when deciding between the solutions?
- A. Both Platform Events and Outbound Messaging are highly scalable. However, unlike Outbound Messaging, only Platform Events have Event Delivery and Event Publishing limits to be considered.
- B. In both Platform Events and Outbound Messaging, the event messages are retried by and delivered in sequence, and only once. Salesforce ensures there is no duplicate message delivery.
- C. Message sequence is possible in Outbound Messaging, but not guaranteed with Platform Events. Both offer very high reliability. Fault handling and recovery are fully handled by Salesforce.
Answer: A
NEW QUESTION # 80
A company captures orders and needs to send them to the Order fulfillment system. The user is not required to have confirmation from the Order fulfillment system. Which system constraint question should be considered when designing an integration to send orders from Salesforce to a fulfillment system?
- A. Which system will validate order shipping addresses?
- B. Can the fulfillment system implement a contract-first Outbound Messaging interface?
- C. What latency is acceptable for orders to reach the fulfillment system?
Answer: C
Explanation:
When designing an integration where the user does not require immediate confirmation, the architect is moving away from a synchronous "Request-Reply" pattern toward an asynchronous "Fire-and-Forget"16 or
"Batch Processing" pattern. In such scenarios, the most critical architectural constraint is defining the latency requirements.
Latency dictates the technical choice of the integration tool. If the fulfillment system needs the order within seconds of creation to begin a high-speed picking process, the architect might choose Salesforce Outbound Messaging or an Apex Callout triggered by a Platform Event. If the system only needs to process orders once an hour or overnight, a Batch ETL process is more appropriate. Understanding the acceptable delay (latency) ensures that the solution meets business expectations without over-engineering for real-time performance where it isn't required.
While Option B (Outbound Messaging) is a valid technical capability, it is a specific solution rather than a high-level "system constraint question" that drives the initial design phase. Option C (Address Validation) is a functional requirement regarding data integrity, but it does not define the architectural framework of the integration as effectively as latency does. By identifying the latency threshold, the architect can determine if the integration should be near real-time, hourly, or daily, which in turn influences how the system handles error recovery, retries, and transaction volumes.
NEW QUESTION # 81
A Salesforce customer is planning to roll out Salesforce for all their Sales and Service staff.
Senior Management has requested that monitoring is to be in pla for Operations to notify any degradation in Salesforce performance.
How should an integration consultant implement monitoring?
- A. Use Salesforce limits API to capture current API usage and configure alerts for monitoring.
- B. Request Salesforce to monitor the Salesforce instance and notify when there is degradation in performance.
- C. Identify critical business processes and establish automation to monitor performance against established benchmarks.
- D. Use APIEVENT to track all user-initiated API calls through SOAP, REST or BULK APIs.
Answer: C
Explanation:
Explanation
The integration consultant should implement monitoring by identifying critical business processes and establishing automation to monitor performance against established benchmarks. This approach can help detect and diagnose any degradation in Salesforce performance, such as slow response time, high error rate, or low availability. The automation can use various tools and methods, such as platform events, event monitoring, health check, or third-party monitoring services123 References: Proactive Monitoring - Salesforce.com, 17 Free Ways to Monitor Your Salesforce Org | Salesforce Ben, Measure Lightning Experience Performance and Experienced ... - Trailhead

Answer: A,B,C
Explanation:
Explanation
The correct answer is A, C, and D. These are three relevant details that a Salesforce Integration Architect should seek to specifically solve for Integration architecture needs of the program. These details can help the Integration Architect to understand the scope, requirements, and constraints of the integration solution, and to choose the appropriate tools, methods, and patterns. The details are:
Source and Target system, Directionality, data volume & transformation complexity along with any middleware that can be leveraged. This detail can help the Integration Architect to identify the systems involved in the integration, the direction of data flow, the amount and complexity of data to be exchanged, and the middleware or platform capabilities that can facilitate the integration.
Timing aspects - real-time/near real-time (synchronous or asynchronous), batch; update frequency. This detail can help the Integration Architect to determine the latency, reliability, and scalability requirements of the integration solution, and to choose the suitable integration protocols and techniques.
Integration Style - Process based, Data based, Virtual integration. This detail can help the Integration Architect to select the appropriate integration style that matches the business needs and objectives.
Process based integration focuses on orchestrating business processes across systems, data based integration focuses on synchronizing data across systems, and virtual integration focuses on providing a unified view of data across systems.

NEW QUESTION # 84
Universal Containers (UC) is a leading provider of management training globally, UC embarked on a Salesforce transformation journey to allow students to register for courses in the Salesforce community. UC has a learning system that masters all courses and student registration.
UC requested a near real-time feed of student registration from Salesforce to the learning system. The integration architect recommends using Salesforce event.
Which API should be used for the Salesforceplatform event solution?
- A. O REST AP
- B. Streaming API
- C. SOAP API
- D. Tooling API
Answer: B
Explanation:
The API that should be used for the Salesforce platform event solution is Tooling API. Tooling API is a specialized API that exposes metadata used in developer tooling that you can access through REST or SOAP. You can use Tooling API to create, update,or delete platform event definitions and fields4 Streaming API is used to subscribe to platform events and receive notifications when they are published5 References: Platform Events Developer Guide | Salesforce Developers, Define and Publish Platform EventsUnit | Salesforce Trailhead QUESTIONNO: 241 Northern Trail Outfitters is in the final stages of merging two Salesforce orgs but needs to keep the retiring org available for a short period of time for lead management as it is connected to multiple publicweb site forms.

NEW QUESTION # 85
A new Salesforce program has the following high-level abstract requirement: Business processes executed on Salesforce require data updates between some internal systems and Salesforce. Which relevant details should a Salesforce integration architect seek to specifically solve for the integration architecture needs of the program?
- A. Core functional and non-functional requirements for User Experience design, Encryption needs, Community, and License choices
- B. Integration skills, SME availability, and Program Governance details
- C. Source and Target system, Directionality, and data volume & transformation complexity, along with any middleware that can be leveraged
Answer: C
Explanation:
To translate abstract business needs into a functional Integration Architecture, an architect must move beyond "what" the business wants to "how" the data will technically flow. The details in Option B represent the fundamental building blocks of any integration design.
* Source and Target Systems: Determining which systems are involved dictates the available APIs (REST, SOAP, Bulk) and required security protocols (OAuth, Mutual SSL).
* Directionality: Knowing if the update is unidirectional or bidirectional is critical for record mastering, identifying the "System of Record," and preventing infinite data loops.
* Data Volume: This is a primary driver for selecting the Integration Pattern. High volumes (millions of records) require the Bulk API, while low-volume, real-time updates are better suited for Streaming or REST APIs.
* Transformation Complexity: If data must be heavily massaged or merged from multiple sources, it justifies the need for Middleware (ESB/iPaaS).
Option A focuses on user interface and licensing, which are implementation details rather than architectural integration requirements. Option C deals with project management and resource allocation. While these are important for the project's success, they do not help the architect decide between a Request-Reply or Fire- and-Forget pattern. By focusing on systems, data direction, and volume, the architect ensures that the proposed solution is technically viable, scalable, and adheres to Salesforce platform governor limits.
NEW QUESTION # 86
Northern Trail Outfitters has had an increase in requests from other business units to integrate opportunity information with other systems from Salesforce. The developers have started writing asynchronous @future callouts directly into the target systems. The CIO is concerned about the viability of this approach and scaling for future growth. What should be done to mitigate the CIO's concerns?
- A. Implement an Enterprise Service Bus for service o9rchestration, mediation, routing, and decouple dependencies across systems.10
- B. Implement an extract, transform11, load (ETL) tool and perform nightly batch data loads to reduce network traffic.
- C. Refactor the existing @future methods to use Enhanced External Services, import Open API 2.0 schemas, and update flows to use services instead of Apex.78
Answer: A
Explanation:
The CIO's concern regarding "viability" and "scaling" is rooted in the risks associated with tightly coupled, point-to-point integrations. Using @future methods for direct callouts creates a "spaghetti" architecture where Salesforce must manage the specific endpoints, authentication, and error logic for every external system.
The architect should recommend implementing an Enterprise Service Bus (ESB). An ESB acts as a centralized middleware layer that provides mediation, routing, and orchestration. By moving the integration logic to an ESB, Salesforce only needs to send a single message to the bus. The ESB then takes responsibility for delivering that data to multiple business units and external systems. This decouples Salesforce from the downstream systems; if a target system changes its API or is replaced, only the ESB configuration needs to be updated, not the Salesforce Apex code.
While External Services (Option A) provide a low-code way to call APIs, they still represent point-to-point connections and do not solve the broader orchestration and scaling challenges. ETL tools (Option C) are designed for bulk data movement and would not satisfy the need for the near real-time updates that the existing callout logic likely supports. An ESB provides the "quality of service" features-such as guaranteed delivery, retries, and protocol transformation-that are necessary for a growing enterprise to maintain a stable and scalable integration landscape.
NEW QUESTION # 87
A company that is a leading provider of courses and training delivers courses using third party trainers. The trainer for the company has to be verified from 10 different training accreditation verification agencies before providing training for the company. Each training accreditation agency has its own response time, which could take days to confirm a trainer.
The company decided to automate the trainer accreditation verification process by integrating to the agencies web services.
What is the recommended approach to automate this process?
- A. Use middleware to handle the call out to the 10 different verification services, the middleware will handle the business logic of consolidating the verification result from t 10 services, then make a call-in to sa lesforce and update the verification status to "verified".
- B. Create a trigger on the trainer record to make a Callout to each verification agencies, write business logic to consolidate the verification then update the trainer status to verified".
- C. Use salesforce external service to make the call out, Salesforce external service should check the verification agencies until the result is verified, then update the trainer status to "verified".
- D. Make an apex callout using @future annotation to make the call out to all differentagencies.
The response should update the trainer status to "verified".
Answer: A
NEW QUESTION # 88
Universal Containers (UC) is a global financial company. UC support agents would like to open bank accounts on the spot for a customer who is inquiring ab UC products.
During opening the bank account process, the agents execute credit checks for the customers through external agencies. At a given time, up to 30 concurrent rewill be using the service for performing credit checks for customers.
What error handling mechanisms should be built to display an error to the agent when the credit verification process failed?
- A. Handle verification process error in the Verification Webservice API in case there isa connection issue to the Webservice if it responds with an error.
- B. In case the verification process is down, use fire and forget mechanism instead of request and reply to allow the agent to get the response back when the service is bar online.
- C. In case the verification process is down, Use mock service to send the response to the agent.
- D. Handle integration errors in the middleware in case the verification process is down, then the middleware should retry processing the request multiple times.
Answer: A
Explanation:
Explanation
Handle verification process error in the Verification Webservice API in case there is a connection issue to the Webservice or if it responds with an error. This solution ensures that the agent can see an error message when the credit verification process failed, and take appropriate actions. The Verification Webservice API can implement error handling logic to catch any exceptions or errors that occur during the callout to the external agencies, and return a meaningful error message to the agent. The agent can then retry the verification process, or escalate the issue to a supervisor. References: Certification - Integration Architect - Trailhead, [Apex Web Services and Callouts]
NEW QUESTION # 89
What is the first thing an Integration Architect should validate if a callout from a LightningWeb Component to an external endpoint is failing?
- A. The endpoint domain has been added to Cross-Origin Resource Sharing.
- B. The endpoint URL has been added to Content Security Policies.
- C. The endpoint URL has added been to an outbound firewall rule.
- D. The endpoint URL has been added to Remote Site Settings.
Answer: A
Explanation:
Explanation
The first thing an integration architect should validate if a callout from a Lightning Web Component to an external endpoint is failing is the endpoint domain has been added to Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS).
CORS is a mechanism that allows web browsers to make requests to servers on different origins, such as different domains, protocols, or ports. CORS requires the server to send back a special header that indicates whether the browser is allowed to access the resource or not. If the endpoint domain is not added to the CORS whitelist in Salesforce, the browser will block the callout and throw an error. Option B is not correct because Content Security Policies (CSP) are used to control what resources can be loaded on a Visualforce or Lightning page, such as scripts, stylesheets, images, etc. CSP does not affect the callout from a Lightning Web Component to an external endpoint. Option C is not correct because outbound firewall rules are used to restrict the network traffic from Salesforce to external systems. Firewall rules are configured at the network level, not at the Salesforce level. Option D is not correct because Remote Site Settings are used to specify the domains that are allowed for callouts from Apex code, not from Lightning Web Components. References:

NEW QUESTION # 90
Northern Trail Outfitters' ERP is integrated with Salesforce and syncs several million contacts per day.
Toprevent specific data from syncing, the integration uses a SOQL query filtered by sharing hierarchy.
Which two things should an architect do to improve the performance of the integration?
Choose 2 answers
- A. Remove the query filters.
- B. Remove the sharing restrictions.
- C. Include non-selective criteria in query filters.
- D. Include selective criteria in query filters.
Answer: B,D
Explanation:
Option C is correct because including selective criteria in query filters can improve the performance of the integration. Selective criteria are filters that reduce the number of records that need to be scanned by the query optimizer, such as indexed fields, standard indexes, or custom indexes. Selective criteria can help the query run faster and avoid hitting the query timeout limit or the query row limit.
Option D is correct because removing the sharing restrictions can improve the performance of the integration.
Sharing restrictions are filters that limit the access to records based on the user's role, profile, or sharing rules.
Sharing restrictions can add complexity and overhead to the query execution, as they require additional joins and calculations. Removing the sharing restrictions can simplify the query and reduce the number of records that need to be processed.
Option A is incorrect because including non-selective criteria in query filters can degrade the performance of the integration. Non-selective criteria are filters that do not reduce the number of records that need to be scanned by the query optimizer, such as non-indexed fields, formula fields, or OR conditions. Non-selective criteria can cause the query to run slower and hit the query timeout limit or the query row limit.
Option B is incorrect because removing the query filters can degrade the performance of the integration.
Query filters are conditions that specify which records to retrieve from the database, such as WHERE clauses or LIMIT clauses. Query filters can help the query run faster and avoid retrieving unnecessary or unwanted data. Removing the query filters can increase the number of records that need to be processed and transmitted by the integration.

NEW QUESTION # 91
Northern Trail Outfitters (NTO) uses Salesforce to track leads, opportunities, and order details that convert leads to customers. However, orders are managed by an external (remote) system. Sales reps 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 Synchronization
- C. Data Virtualization
Answer: C
Explanation:
The requirement to view and update data in real-time while ens5uring the data only persists in the external system is the definition of a Data Virtualization pattern. In this architectural model, Salesforce does not store a local copy of the data (which would be Data Synchronization), but instead acts as a window into the external system of record.
An Integration Architect implements Data Virtualization primarily through Salesforce Connect. This tool allows the external system's order table to be represented as an External Object in Salesforce. Because the data is retrieved on-demand via a web service call (typically using the OData protocol), it is always "real- time." Furthermore, since Salesforce Connect supports writeable external objects, sales reps can update the order information directly from the Salesforce UI, and those changes are sent back to the external system immediately without being saved to the Salesforce database.
This approach is superior to Data Synchronization (Option A) in this specific use case because it eliminates the need for data storage costs and the complexity of keeping two databases in sync. It is also distinct from Process Orchestration (Option C), which focuses on the sequencing of tasks across multiple systems rather than the real-time presentation of external data. By utilizing Data Virtualization, NTO achieves a seamless user experience where external orders look and feel like native Salesforce records while strictly adhering to the "no persistence" constraint.
NEW QUESTION # 92
What should an Architect recommend to ensure all integrations to the Northern Trail Outfitters company portal use SSL mutual authentication?
- A. Generate a CA-signed Certificate.
- B. Enable My Domain and SSL/TLS.
- C. Enforce SSL/TLS MutualAuthentication.
- D. Generate a Self-signed Certificate.
Answer: C
Explanation:
Explanation
This is because SSL/TLS mutual authentication is a security feature that allows Salesforce to verify the identity of the client that connects to its API endpoint on port 8443. To enable this feature, you need to upload a client certificate to Salesforce and assign the "Enforce SSL/TLS Mutual Authentication" user permission to the users who need to access the company portal. The other options are not sufficient for this scenario because:
A, Enable My Domain and SSL/TLS, is a prerequisite for using SSL/TLS mutual authentication, but it does not ensure that all integrations use it. My Domain allows you to customize your Salesforce domain name and SSL/TLS provides encryption for your data in transit.
C, Generate a Self-signed Certificate, is a step that you need to do on the client side to create a certificate that can be used for SSL/TLS mutual authentication, but it does not ensure that all integrations use it. You also need to upload the certificate to Salesforce and assign the user permission.
D, Generate a CA-signed Certificate, is an alternative to generating a self-signed certificate, but it also does not ensure that all integrations use SSL/TLS mutual authentication. You still need to upload the certificate to Salesforce and assign the user permission.
