Technical Terms Flashcards
SAML
Security Assertion Markup Language
SSO
Single Sign On - User / Identity Provider / Service Provider
Developer Sandbox
Intended for coding and testing. These environments include a copy of your production organization’s metadata, or Setup data. - No record data. Refresh = 1 Day
Developer Pro Sandbox
Same as Developer but they have a larger storage limit - Still no record data. Refresh = 1 Day
Partial Copy Sandbox
Partial Copy sandboxes are intended to be used as testing environments. These environments can be used for quality assurance tasks such as user acceptance testing, integration testing, and training. These environments include a copy of your production organization’s metadata, or Setup data, and a subset of your production data as defined by a sandbox template. Refresh = 5 days
Full Copy Sandbox
These environments are the only ones that can support full performance testing, load testing, and staging in addition to the tasks that you use other sandboxes for. These environments are a replica of your production organization, including all data—for example, object records and attachments—and metadata. Refresh = 29 Days
REST API
Uses HTTPS and can transmit XML or other language types. Main API used today for web services integrations. SSL security.
SOAP API
Can leverage application data and is not a common today as REST. Offers different security options over SSL and can only transmit XML
OData
OData is short for Open Data protocol. OData builds on core protocols like HTTP and commonly accepted methodologies like REST. The result is a uniform way to expose full-featured data APIs
Lighting Connet
Ability to use OData sources to pull information into SFDC to be viewed using External Objects.
ETL Tool
Extract, Transfer, Load (Example Informatica)
Operational Data Store (ODS)
Data is normalized and this data is fed from a data mart(s0
Data Mart
Where large amounts of data are collected and available for reporting using BI tools (reporting and dashboards)
Data Warehouse
Is fed by the ODS and the data is normalized so it can feed the Data Mart(s)
Demormilization
Optimizes read performance in a database by adding redundant data or by grouping data
Online Analytical Processing (OLAP)
Performs multidimensional analysis of business data and provides the capability for complex calculations, trend analysis, and sophisticated data modeling. (Integrates data from different processes - sales & inventory)
OLTP and OLAP
OLTP and OLAP are not compatible and this makes traditional BI tools slow.
Online Transactional Processing (OLTP)
is a class of information systems that facilitate and manage transaction-oriented applications, typically for data entry and retrieval transaction processing. (One process = Online order from store)
BI - Visualization Vendors
tableau, QlikView, Spotfire = quick views into the data but lack infrastructure to deal with large data sets
BI - Traditional BI
Oracle BI, SAP Business Objects, Cognos = IT Governance, experts only, narrow questions, and on-prem
IDE - for Sandbox
Integrated Development Environment (IDE) is a programming environment that has been packaged as an application program, typically consisting of a code editor, a compiler, a debugger, and a graphical user interface (GUI) builder.
Change Sets
Change sets can only be sent between organizations that are affiliated with a production organization. For example, a production organization and a sandbox, or two sandboxes created from the same organization can send or receive change sets.
Change sets are like “mini unmanaged packages”. They bundle up a series of functions and allow an administrator to move them between two related orgs.
Deployment Connection
Sending a change set between two organizations requires a deployment connection
Package
A package is a collection of code and resources designed for easy transport between unrelated Salesforce orgs.
