Certified Integration Architect practice test

1. Question 1 · 1

   A company is designing a Lightning Web Component (LWC) to display transactions aggregated from different sources. Their current system landscape is as follows: 1. Transactions are created at any time through their various on-premise and cloud-based systems. 2. All necessary transactions are replicated to a custom Transaction object in Salesforce. It is updated periodically so it only has a subset of the necessary transactions between updates. 3. Middleware supports publish-subscribe interactions and provides RESTful Enterprise APIs that can retrieve transactions from on-premise and cloud-based systems. The company wants to address a usability concern regarding incomplete data displayed on the LWC component. What should the integration architect specify so the LWC will be able to display all the required transactions?

   Choose one answer.

   • Publish a Platform Event, have the middleware subscribe and update the custom object on receipt of Platform Event.
   • Call the Enterprise APIs directly from the LWC's JavaScript code and redisplay the LWC on receipt of the API response.
   • Use the Continuation class to call the Enterprise APIs and then process the response in a callback method.
   • Let the Lightning Data Service with an @wire adapter display new values when the custom object records change.

13. Question 13 · 1

    A company has an external system that processes and tracks orders. Sales reps manage their leads and opportunity pipeline in Salesforce. In the current state, the two systems are disconnected and processing orders requires a lot of manual entry on the sales rep part. This creates delays in processing orders and incomplete data due to manual entry. As a part of modernization efforts, the company decided to integrate Salesforce and the Order Management System. The following technical requirements were identified: 1. Orders need to be created in real time from Salesforce. 2. Minimal customizations and code should be written due to a tight timeline and lack of developer resources. 3. Sales reps need to be able to see order history and most up-to-date information on current order status. 4. Managers need to be able to run reports in Salesforce to see daily and monthly order volumes and fulfillment timelines. 5. The legacy system is hosted on-premise and is currently connected to the Enterprise Service Bus (ESB). The ESB is flexible enough to provide any methods and connection types needed by the Salesforce team. 6. There are 1,000 sales reps. Each user processes/creates on average 15 orders per shift. Most of the orders contain 20 to 30 line items. How should an integration architect integrate the two systems based on the technical requirements and system constraints?

    Choose one answer.

    • Use Salesforce custom object, custom REST API, and extract, transform, load (ETL).
    • Use Salesforce big object. SOAP API and Dataloader.
    • Use Salesforce external object and OData connector.
    • Use Salesforce standard object. REST API, and extract, transform, load (ETL).
