QUESTION 26
Northern Trail Outfitters (NTO) leverages Sales Cloud for tracking and managing leads, accounts, contacts, and opportunities- Orders and order fulfillment is taken care of by an Order Management System (OMS) in the back-office. When an opportunity has changed it’s status to “Closed/Won” and there are products attached, the details should be passed to the OMS for fulfillment operations.
The callout from Salesforce to the OMS should be synchronous.
What should an Integration Architect do to satisfy these requirements?

Write a trigger that invokes an Apex proxy class to make a REST callout to the Order Management System.

Use Process Builder to call an Apex proxy class to make a REST callout to theOrder Management System.

Develop a batch Apex job that aggregates Closed Opportunities and makes a REST callout to the Order Management System hourly.

Build a Lightning Component that makes a synchronous Apex REST callout to the Order ManagementSystem when a button is clicked.

Explanation
A trigger is a programmatic way of executing some logic when a record is inserted, updated, deleted, or undeleted in Salesforce. A trigger can invoke an Apex class that contains the code to perform a REST callout to an external system. A REST callout is a way of sending an HTTP request to a service endpoint and receiving a response. A REST callout can be synchronous or asynchronous, depending on whether the Apex code waits for the response before continuing the execution. A synchronous callout is suitable for scenarios where the response is needed immediately, such as order fulfillment1.
An Apex proxy class is a class that is generated from a WSDL (Web Service Description Language) document of an external SOAP web service. An Apex proxy class can be used to make a SOAP callout to the external web service, but not a REST callout. A SOAP callout is another way of sending an HTTP request to a service endpoint and receiving a response, but it uses a different format and protocol than REST2.
Process Builder is a declarative tool that allows you to automate business processes by defining criteria and actions. Process Builder can invoke an Apex class that implements the Process.Plugin interface, which allows you to extend the functionality of Process Builder with custom logic. However, Process Builder does not support synchronous callouts, because it runs in the background and does not wait for the response from the external system. Process Builder only supports asynchronous callouts, which are executed after the transaction is committed3.
Batch Apex is a way of processing large volumes of data asynchronously by breaking them into smaller batches of records. Batch Apex can be used to perform complex or long-running operations on data, such as data cleansing, archiving, or integration. Batch Apex can make callouts to external systems by implementing the Database.AllowsCallouts interface in the batch class. However, Batch Apex is not suitable for scenarios where the callout needs to be synchronous, because it runs in the background and does not wait for the response from the external system. Batch Apex also has some limitations, such as the maximum number of batches in the queue, the maximum number of records per batch, and the maximum number of callouts per batch4.
A Lightning Component is a reusable unit of user interface that can be used to build modern web apps with Salesforce. A Lightning Component can make a callout to an external system by using JavaScript code or by invoking an Apex controller class that contains the logic for the callout. A Lightning Component can make a synchronous or asynchronous callout, depending on whether the JavaScript code or Apex code waits for the response before continuing the execution. However, a Lightning Component is not a good choice for scenarios where the callout needs to be triggered by a record change, such as when an opportunity is closed/won. A Lightning Component requires user interaction, such as clicking a button or loading a page, to initiate the callout5.
Therefore, the correct answer is A, because writing a trigger that invokes an Apex class to make a REST callout to the Order Management System is the only option that satisfies the requirements of making a synchronous callout when an opportunity is closed/won.

What solution should an architect recommend to handle errors during these types of service outages?

Use middleware queuing and buffering to insulate Salesforce from system outages.

A Use Platform Event replayld and custom scheduled Apex process to retrieve missed events.

Use @future jobld and custom scheduled apex process to retry failed service calls.

Use Outbound Messaging to automatically retry failed service calls.

QUESTION 29
Northern Trail Outfitters is creating a distributable Salesforce package for other Salesforce orgs within the company. The package needs to call into a custor ApexREST endpoint in the central org. The security team wants to ensure a specific integration account is used in the central org that they will authorize after installation of the package.
Which three items should an architect recommend to secure the integration in the package?
Choose 3 answers

Create an Auth provider in the package and set the consumer key and consumer secret of the connected app in the central org.

Contact Salesforce support and create a case to temporarily enable API access for managed packages.

Create a connected app in the central org and add the callback URL of each org the package is installed in to redirect to after successful authentication.

Use an encrypted field to store the password that the security team enters and use password management for external orgs and set the encryption method to TLS 1.2.

Use the Auth Provider configured and select the identity type as Named Principal with OAuth 2.0 as the protocol and Select Start Authentication Flow on Save.

Explanation
Answer A is valid because creating an Auth provider in the package and setting the consumer key and consumer secret of the connected app in the central org can allow the package to authenticate with the central org using OAuth 2.0. An Auth provider is a configuration that specifies how to connect to an external service that uses a specific identity protocol. A connected app is an application that can access Salesforce resources using APIs and standard protocols. The consumer key and consumer secret are credentials that identify the connected app to Salesforce.
Answer C is valid because creating a connected app in the central org and adding the callback URL of each org the package is installed in to redirect to after successful authentication can enable the package to obtain an access token from the central org using OAuth 2.0. The callback URL is a parameter that specifies where the user should be redirected after granting or denying permission to access Salesforce resources. The access token is a credential that can be used to invoke the custom Apex REST endpoint in the central org.
Answer E is valid because using the Auth Provider configured and selecting the identity type as Named Principal with OAuth 2.0 as the protocol and selecting Start Authentication Flow on Save can initiate the authentication flow when installing the package. The identity type determines how the package accesses Salesforce resources on behalf of users or an application. The Named Principal identity type means that the package uses a single credential, such as a username and password or an access token, to access Salesforce resources for all users. The Start Authentication Flow on Save option means that the package will prompt the user to enter the credential when saving the Auth Provider configuration.
Answer B is not valid because contacting Salesforce support and creating a case to temporarily enable API access for managed packages is not a necessary or recommended action. API access for managed packages is enabled by default and does not require any special permission or configuration from Salesforce support. Moreover, this action does not address the security requirement of using a specific integration account in the central org that will be authorized after installation of the package.
Answer D is not valid because using an encrypted field to store the password that the security team enters and using password management for external orgs and setting the encryption method to TLS 1.2 is not a secure or reliable solution. An encrypted field is a custom field that encrypts sensitive data at rest and masks it on the user interface. However, this field does not prevent unauthorized access or leakage of data, as it can be decrypted by users who have the View Encrypted Data permission or by Apex code that runs in system mode. Moreover, this field does not support encryption methods such as TLS 1.2, which are used for securing data in transit, not at rest.

QUESTION 30
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?

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.

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.

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.
