Certified Integration Architect Exam - Question 41


An integration architect has been tasked with integrating Salesforce with an on-premise system. Due to some established policies, this system must remain on-premise.

What should the architect use to build a solution for this requirement?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: CD

To build a solution integrating Salesforce with an on-premise system, the architect should use Salesforce Connect if the database supports Open Data Protocol (OData). Salesforce Connect enables integration with external data sources without the need to import or copy the data into Salesforce. OData is a widely-used standard protocol for querying and updating data, making it ideal for this scenario. ODBC is not a supported protocol for Salesforce Connect.

Salesforce Connect allows you to integrate external data sources with Salesforce without copying the data into Salesforce. OData is a standard protocol for accessing data from different sources. Use Salesforce Connect if the database supports Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) is incorrect because ODBC is not supported by Salesforce Connect.

OData is a standard protocol for accessing data from different sources. Use Salesforce Connect if the database supports Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) is incorrect because ODBC is not supported by Salesforce Connect. Use Heroku Connect if the data is hosted in Heroku is incorrect because Heroku Connect is used to synchronize data between Salesforce and a Heroku Postgres database, not an on-premises system.

The challenge with the question, is the security contraints when connecting to the on-prem system.
