App Deployment

Question 1

Answer 2

Unmanaged packages can be distributed via a URL link or via the AppExchange. The distribution cannot be controlled as the link can be used by anyone.

Question 3

What are unmanaged packages typically used for?

Answer 3

Distributing free software, templates and open-source components

Question 4

When is a sandbox not required as part of the application lifecycle?

What are key milestones in an application lifecycle when a sandbox is involved?

Answer 5

Manage Requirements, Develop Changes in Sandbox, Test Changes, Deploy Changes to Production, Notify End Users of Changes

Question 6

What is the difference between a Developer and Developer Pro sandbox?

Answer 6

Developer Pro has a higher storage limit. Both contain a copy of production configuration and not data. Both can be refreshed once a day.

Question 7

Why would a Partial Copy sandbox be used instead of a Full Copy sandbox?

Answer 7

A Partial Copy sandbox is cheaper and can be refreshed more frequently (5 days). It has a data and file storage limit of 5 GB, so a template can be used to define the data copied (up to 10,000 records).

Question 8

What is a full sandbox usually used for?

Answer 8

It is used when an environment that is identical to production is required for performance, load, regression or user acceptance testing.

Question 9

What is the difference between a managed package and an unmanaged package?

Answer 9

A managed package is protected, upgradeable and is typically sold on the AppExchange. Unmanaged packages are not protected and can be used for distribution to others and can be modified once installed.

Question 10

If a company is planning on selling an application, would they distribute it using a managed or unmanaged package?

Answer 10

Typically a managed package would be used, as it can be protected and upgraded.

Answer 14

A deployment connection betweens the orgs and each org must explicitly authorize the other org to send change sets to it.

Question 15

What are some restrictions of change sets?
