Question 1 of 39

Northern Trail Outfitters (NTO) recently acquired Eastern Trail Outfitters (ETO). NTO’s sales leadership team had hands-on experience with the ETO’s Sales Optimization app and have given the feedback that the app would benefit NTO’s sales team.

Which option should the architect recommend for having ETO’s Sales Optimization app in NTO’s Salesforce org in the shortest possible time?

Create users in ETO’s org and provide access to NTO’s sales team.

Create a core team and build the Sales Optimization app in NTO’s org.

Create a managed package of the app and deploy in NTO’s org.

Create an unmanaged package of the app and deploy in NTO’s org.

Correct Answer: D

To have ETO’s Sales Optimization app in NTO’s Salesforce org in the shortest possible time, creating an unmanaged package of the app and deploying it in NTO’s org is the best approach. This allows NTO to quickly transfer the app with all its components and customization intact, while maintaining control over modifications and updates, ensuring a seamless integration into NTO’s existing system.

Question 2 of 39

Universal Containers (UC) is a high-tech company using SFDX tools and methodologies for its Salesforce development. T UC has moved some of its code and configuration to Unlocked Packages.

Which two best practices should an architect recommend to support UC’s new package development strategy? (Choose two.)

Move everything in the existing codebase to a single monolithic package.

Version control does not need to be used, as packages manage all the code and configuration.

Test developed packages in test environments before installing to production.

Consult the metadata coverage report to identify features supported by packages.

Correct Answer: C, D

In a package development strategy, it is crucial to test developed packages in test environments before installing them to production to ensure their reliability and functionality. Additionally, consulting the metadata coverage report helps in identifying features supported by packages, ensuring that all necessary components are compatible and correctly packaged. Moving everything to a single monolithic package is not advisable, as it defeats the purpose of modular development. Version control is essential in managing code and configuration efficiently, even when using packages.

Question 3 of 39

Universal Containers (UC) has been on the org development model with scratch orgs are already enabled, but they haven’t been taking advantage of the scratch orgs.

Now UC is ready to move to the package development model.

What step must be done by an administrator?

In setup, switch the Enable Unlocked Packages to Enabled, keep the Enable Second-Generation Managed Packages as disabled.

In setup, switch the Enable Dev Hub to Enabled, then switch the Enable Source Tracking for Scratch Orgs to Enabled.

In setup, switch the Enable Unlocked Packages and Second-Generation Managed Packages to Enabled.

In setup, switch both the Enable Dev Hub and Enable 2nd-Generation Managed Packages to Enabled.

Correct Answer: C

Universal Containers is moving to the package development model, and since Dev Hub is already enabled, the necessary step would be to enable both Unlocked Packages and Second-Generation Managed Packages. This aligns with the package development model requirements, emphasizing modular and distributed development, which is supported by enabling both these package features.

Question 4 of 39

Universal Containers (UC) has multi-cloud architecture in a single org. The Sales Cloud dev team is working in a Dev Pro sandbox (DevPro1) of delivering a release in three months. The business requirements from Service Cloud warrant a quicker release in four weeks, but need part of the Sales Cloud work that is completed in DevPro1. The decision of using a separate Dey Pro sandbox (DevPro2) is still pending. The DevPro1 was upgraded to preview for next salesforce major release two weeks ago.

What should an Architect recommend?

Clone the DevPro1 sandbox and name it DevPro2 for the second work stream to work on the Service Cloud requirements.

Push back on the requirements because adding another work stream will bring some risks with it.

Ask the second work stream team to work on the same DevPro1 sandbox.

DevPro1 cannot be cloned because it is on a different version from Production. Just create a new DevPro2, and migrate metadata from DevPro1.

Correct Answer: A

Since DevPro1 sandbox was upgraded to a preview for the next Salesforce major release two weeks ago, it already contains the necessary Sales Cloud work that is needed for the Service Cloud requirements. Cloning DevPro1 to create DevPro2 enables the Service Cloud team to deliver their release quicker while still having access to the Sales Cloud work without any risks associated with both teams working in the same environment. This approach also aligns with Salesforce's capability to clone sandboxes even if they are on different versions than the production org.

Question 5 of 39

Universal Containers uses multiple Salesforce orgs for its different lines of business (LOBs). In a recent analysis, the architect found that UC could have a more complete view of its customers by gathering customer data from different orgs.

What two options can an architect recommend to accomplish the customer 380-degree view? (Choose two.)

Implement a Complete Graph multi-org strategy by allowing each org to connect directly to every other, reading and writing customer data from the orgs where it has been originally created.

Migrate from multi-org to single-org strategy, consolidating customer data in the process.

Implement a Single Package multi-org strategy by developing and deploying to all orgs a managed package which reads and consolidates customer 360-degree view from the different orgs.

Implement a Hub-and-Spoke multi-org strategy by consolidating customer data in a single org, which will be the master of customer data, and using integration strategies to let the LOBs orgs read and write from it.

Correct Answer: C, D

To achieve a comprehensive 360-degree view of customers across multiple Salesforce orgs, implementing a Single Package multi-org strategy would be effective. This strategy involves developing and deploying a managed package to all orgs, which reads and consolidates customer data from each org. Additionally, a Hub-and-Spoke multi-org strategy can be recommended, where customer data is consolidated in a single org that acts as the master data repository, with integration strategies enabling the other orgs to read and write to it. These options ensure data consistency and accessibility across different lines of business without necessitating a complete consolidation into a single org.
