Standard
Custom

You select a custom field with the External ID and unique attributes as the parent field for matching records

25
Q

When loading data with parent references into Salesforce, what is more efficient? Using an external ID or a Salesforce Id?

A

Using an external ID has additional overhead in that it performs a kind of “lookup” to find the record, whereas this additional overhead does not occur (or is bypassed) when using the native Salesforce Id

26
Q

Universal Containers (UC) has a set of integrations that execute sequentially. Salesforce is the final downstream system for the integrations. Management is complaining that data is taking too long to appear in Salesforce.

Which two approaches should the data architect use to diagnose the issue?

Choose two answers

A. Document the data flow within each system and through each integration

B. Add CPU and memory to the integration platform hardware

C. Confirm that network bandwidth and latency are within expected parameters

D. Increase the number of parallel integration processes that are running

A

A. Document the data flow within each system and through each integration

C. Confirm that network bandwidth and latency are within expected parameters

27
Q

How does Lookup relationship fields work for External Objects

A

A lookup relationship field links a child standard, custom or external object to a parent standard or custom object. A user who’s editing a child record can click he field’s lookup icon to select a specific parent record, and a user who’s viewing a parent record can view a related list of child records.

When you are creating a lookup relationship field on an external object, enter the External Column Name that contains the 18 character Salesforce Ids for identifying the parent records

28
Q

How does the External Lookup Relationship Field work on External Objects

A

An external Lookup relationship links a child standard, custom or external object to a parent external object

The values of the standard Extenal ID field on the parent external object are matched against the values of the external lookup relationship field. For a child external object, the values of the external lookup relationship field come from the specified External Column Name

29
Q

How does Indirect Lookup relationship fields work on External Objects

A

An indirect lookup relationship links a child external object to a parent standard or custom object. When you create an indirect lookup relationship field on an external object, you specify the parent object field and the child object field to match against each other.

Specifically, you select a custom unique, external ID field on the parent object to match against the child’s indrect lookup relationship field

30
Q

35
Q

What 5 integration options are available for Salesforce (If you want to house data outside of Salesforce)?

A
  1. .Heroku Connect
  2. Salesforce Connect
  3. Salesforce REST APIs
  4. Callouts
  5. Canvas
36
Q

What is Heroku Connect?

A

Heroku Connect provides both data replication and data proxies for Salesforce. Data replication synchronizes data between Salesforce and a Heroku Postgres database. Depending on how it’s configured, the synchronization is either one way or bidirectional.

37
Q

What is Salesforce Connect?

A

You can use Salesforce Connect (formerly called Lightning Connect) as a data proxy to pull OData or other data sources into Salesforce on demand. No data is copied to the Salesforce database. You can run endpoints that expose OData 2.0 on Heroku or as provided by external systems.

38
Q

What are Salesforce Rest APIs

A

The Salesforce REST APIs provide apps on Heroku access to Salesforce data through simple JSON-formatted HTTP requests. You can use this integration for data proxies and custom user interfaces. Applications built with open-source technologies that are running on Heroku can use OAuth to authorize users in a custom user interface and then interact with Salesforce data on their behalf. Integration use cases without a user interface can broker data between Salesforce and external systems.

39
Q

What are Callouts?

A

You can use callouts from Salesforce to call external processes on Heroku. You write the callouts in Apex or use workflow outbound messages to have events on Salesforce trigger the execution of a process on Heroku. That process often uses one of the previously mentioned integration methods to get the result of the process back into Salesforce.

40
Q

How does Canvas work within Salesforce?

A

Canvas provides a way to load an external user interface into Salesforce that can interact with Salesforce data through a JavaScript API. You can run the external UI on Heroku and build it with an open-source web technology. The data requests that Canvas apps make happen in the context of the Salesforce user.

41
Q

Which integration should you use if you want to replicate data between Salesforce and Heroku

A

Heroku Connect

42
Q

Which integration technique should you use if you want to expose a Heroku Postgres database to Salesforce

A

Heroku Connect External Object

43
Q

To proxy OData, SOAP, XML, or JSON data sources into Salesforce, which integration technique should you use?

A

Salesforce Connect

44
Q

If Heroku Connect doesn’t fit the bill, like when you have a custom UI on Heroku where users log in via Salesforce which integration technique should you use?

A

Use the Salesforce REST APIs.

45
Q

To offload or extend the processing of Salesforce data events which integration technique should you use?

A

Use callouts from Salesforce to Heroku.

46
Q

To embed a custom UI from Heroku (or other external web app) into Salesforce, which integration technique should you use?

A

use Canvas

47
Q

What is idempotence?

A

In the world of computing, an operation is idempotent when it produces the same result whether you execute it once or multiple times.

In a distributed application, you integrate various systems that communicate with one another over a network. To account for inevitable network failures, an important design question that every distributed application architect should consider for each distributed operation is as follows:

 “Will there be any unwanted side effects if a particular distributed operation executes multiple times?”
48
Q

How does idempotence impact getter methods

A

It’s a best practice for getter methods to be idempotent, that is, to not have side effects. For example, don’t increment a variable, write a log message, or add a new record to the database. Visualforce doesn’t define the order in which getter methods are called, or how many times they might be called in the course of processing a request. Design your getter methods to produce the same outcome, whether they are called once or multiple times for a single page request.

49
Q

What is one possible solution (easier one that complex coding) to ensure Webservice SOAP or REST API calls are idempotent? (For example if the webservice call inserts opportunity records within SFDC)

A

Using a couple of mouse clicks, you could add or use a field in the target object to manage remote system state. For example, in a Developer Edition org, the Opportunity object has a custom field, OrderNumber__c. You can customize this field so that it must be unique and required. Then, when any API call from any app tries to create a duplicate Opportunity using an API call, the app gets an error similar to the following that the app can trap and handle appropriately.

50
Q

What is a possible solution to make your Bulk API idempotent?

A

Rather than just endlessly retrying entire batch loads, you might code your loading process to locally collect and handle rows that returned errors.
