Free Salesforce Integration-Architect Exam Questions

Question 1

Northern Trail Outfitters has recently experienced intermittent network outages in its

call center. When network service resumes, Sales representatives have inadvertently

created duplicate orders in the manufacturing system because the order was placed but the

return acknowledgement was lost during the outage.

Which solution should an architect recommend to avoid duplicate order booking?

A : Use Outbound Messaging to ensure manufacturing acknowledges receipt of order.

B : Use scheduled apex to query manufacturing system for potential duplicate or missing orders.

C : Implement idempotent design and have Sales Representatives retry order(s) in question.

D : Have scheduled Apex resubmit orders that do not have a successful response.

Answer: A

Question 2

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 : 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.

B : 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.

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: B

Question 3

A new feature release in Salesforce will result in changes to the structure of certain objects that are used in an integration with an external system. What should be considered to ensure continued operation of the integration following the Salesforce update?

A : Inform the users about the upcoming changes

B : Review and adapt the integration to handle changes in the Salesforce object structure

C : Create backup Salesforce objects to replace the changed objects

D : Limit the number of API calls to the changed objects

Answer: B

Question 5

An enterprise architect has requested the Salesforce Integration architect to review the following (see diagram & description) and provide recommendations after carefully considering all constraints of the enterprise systems and Salesforce platform limits.

* About 3,000 phone sales agents use a Salesforce Lightning UI concurrently to check eligibility of a customer for a qualifying offer.

* There are multiple eligibility systems that provides this service and are hosted externally. However, their current response times could take up to 90 seconds to process and return (there are discussions to reduce the response times in future, but no commitments are made).

* These eligibility systems can be accessed through APIs orchestrated via ESB (MuleSoft).

* All requests from Salesforce will have to traverse through customer's API Gateway layer and the API Gateway imposes a constraint of timing out requests after 9 seconds.

Which three recommendations should be made?

Choose 3 answers

A : ESB (Mule) with cache/state management to return a requestID (or) response if available from external system.

B : Recommend synchronous Apex call-outs from Lightning UI to External Systems via Mule and implement polling on API gateway timeout.

C : Use Continuation callouts to make the eligibility check request from Salesforce from Lightning UI at page load.

D : When responses are received by Mule, create a Platform Event in Salesforce via Remote-Call-In and use the empAPI in the lightning UI to serve 3,000 concurrent users.

E : Implement a 'Check Update' button that passes a requestID received from ESB (user action needed).
