Question 2 of 136

Universal Containers has 30 million case records. The Case object has 80 fields. Agents are reporting performance Issues and time-outs while running case reports in the Salesforce org.

Which solution should a data architect recommend to improve reporting performance?

Answer

Suggested Answer

The suggested answer is A.

To improve performance for agents running case reports with a large volume of records and fields, enabling a skinny table for the Case object is a suitable solution. Skinny tables are specially designed to speed up read-only operations and queries by reducing the number of joins required, thus enhancing reporting performance. Support from Salesforce is needed to enable and configure skinny tables tailored to the specific needs of the organization.

Question 3 of 136

A custom pricing engine for a Salesforce customer has to be decided by factors with the following hierarchy:

  1. State in which the customer is located
  2. City in which the customer is located if available
  3. Zip code in which the customer is located if available
  4. Changes to this information should have minimum code change

What should a data architect recommend to maintain this information for the custom pricing engine that is to be built in Salesforce?

Answer

Suggested Answer

The suggested answer is B.

To effectively maintain pricing criteria with minimal code changes, custom metadata types are the best solution. Custom metadata types allow for easy deployment and management of configuration data, which includes state, city, and zip code hierarchies. This solution ensures that any changes to the pricing criteria can be made without requiring significant changes to the codebase, aligning with the requirement to minimize code changes.

Answer

Suggested Answer

Event Monitoring will allow for detailed tracking of user actions, ensuring that any unauthorized access or changes are flagged. Encrypting sensitive information addresses the need to safeguard personally identifiable information and financial records.
