Certified Integration Architect Exam - Question 4

Universal Containers (UC) owns a variety of cloud-based applications, including Salesforce, alongside several on-premise applications. The on-premise applications are protected behind a corporate network with limited outside access to external systems.

UC would like to expose data from the on-premise applications to Salesforce for a more unified user experience. The data should be accessible from Salesforce in real time.

Which two actions should be recommended to fulfill this system requirement? (Choose two.)

Show Answer
Correct Answer: CD

To expose data from on-premise applications to Salesforce in real time, two key actions are recommended. First, developing custom APIs on the company's network that are invokable by Salesforce will provide direct, real-time access to the necessary data. This approach allows Salesforce to make API calls to the on-premise systems when needed. Second, deploying MuleSoft to the on-premise network and designing external facing APIs to expose the data leverages MuleSoft's integration capabilities and security measures. MuleSoft can securely expose and manage the real-time data integrations between the two environments.

C is too unclear. It should use an ESB to handle security

B - Heroku can connect in real time using JDBC and Private spaces(VPC). D - Mulesoft if deployed, can be used to access APIs securely.

B is incorrect because we are connecting to multiple applications. B assumes we are connecting to a database. C is obviously doable. My company did it recently with a named credential that had information to authorize against the APIs. People create APIs and expose them to Salesforce by use of a credential, all the time.

CD Requirment is RealTIme so A is wrong I think B is also wrong as Heroku will consume time to sync the data C: By using custom Sync Intgratio approach we can have realtime D: Muel Soft supports for real time integration C:

Option B: This option is not recommended because developing an application in Heroku that connects to the on-premise database via an ODBC string and VPC connection would require significant development effort and may not provide real-time access to the data. Option C: This option is recommended because developing custom APIs on the company’s network that are invokable by Salesforce would allow Salesforce to access the on-premise data in real-time.

Ultimately, in order to connect to on-prem systems, you will require a virtual private cloud hosted by the customer, in order to transfer from an on-prem system to a cloud system. Salesforce will not be able to connect directly to any on-prem APIs (which is what option C is suggesting I assume).
