NEW QUESTION # 50
Get Cloud Consulting needs to integrate two different systems with customer records into the Salesforce Account object. So that no duplicate records are created in Salesforce, Master Data Management will be used.
An Architect needs to determine which system is the system of record on a field level.
What should the Architect do to achieve this goal?
- A. Key stakeholders should review any fields that share the same purpose between systems to see how they will be used in Salesforce.
- B. Any field that is an input field in either external system will be overwritten by the last record integrated and can never have a system of record.
- C. Master Data Management systems determine system of record, and the Architect doesn't have to think about what data is controlled by what system.
- D. The database schema for each external system should be reviewed, and fields with different names should always be separate fields in Salesforce.
Answer: A
Explanation:
Key stakeholders from both systems should collaborate with the Architect to determine which system is the system of record on a field level is what the Architect should do to achieve this goal of integrating two different systems with customer records into the Salesforce Account object using Master Data Management. The system of record is the authoritative source of truth for a given entity or field in a given context. Different systems may have different levels of accuracy, completeness, timeliness, or relevance for different fields. Therefore, it is important to involve key stakeholders from both systems who have knowledge and expertise about their data quality and business needs to decide which system should be the system of record for each field. The Architect should facilitate this collaboration and document the decisions and rationale for each field. The other options are not correct or feasible, as they would either delegate or abdicate the responsibility of determining the system of record, ignore or disregard the input from key stakeholders, or assume or impose a default system of record without considering the data quality and business needs.
NEW QUESTION # 51
UC is rolling out Sales App globally to bring sales teams together on one platform. UC expects millions of opportunities and accounts to be creates and is concerned about the performance of the application.
Which 3 recommendations should the data architect make to avoid the data skew? Choose 3 answers.
- A. Limit associating 10000 records looking up to same records.
- B. Assign 10000 opportunities to one account.
- C. Use picklist fields rather than lookup to custom object.
- D. Limit assigning one user 10000 records ownership.
- E. Limit associating 10000 opportunities to one account.
Answer: A,D,E
Explanation:
Data skew occurs when a large number of child records are associated with a single parent record, or when a single user owns a large number of records. This can cause performance issues and lock contention. To avoid data skew, the data architect should limit assigning one user 10,000 records ownership, limit associating
10,000 opportunities to one account, and limit associating 10,000 records looking up to the same record
NEW QUESTION # 52
Universal Containers (UC) has a complex system landscape and is implementing a data governance program for the first time Which two first steps would be appropriate for UC to initiate an assessment of data architecture? Choose 2 answers
- A. Engage with business units and IT to assess current operational systems and data models.
- B. Engage with IT program managers to assess current velocity of projects in the pipeline.
- C. Engage with database administrators to assess current database performance metrics.
- D. Engage with executive sponsorship to assess enterprise data strategy and goals.
Answer: A,D
Explanation:
Engaging with executive sponsorship to assess enterprise data strategy and goals, and engaging with business units and IT to assess current operational systems and data models are two first steps that would be appropriate for UC to initiate an assessment of data architecture. These steps will help to understand the current state of data management, the business needs and expectations, and the gaps and opportunities for improvement. Engaging with IT program managers to assess current velocity of projects in the pipeline, and engaging with database administrators to assess current database performance metrics are not relevant steps for assessing data architecture, as they are more related to project management and technical performance.

NEW QUESTION # 54
Which two best practices should be followed when using SOSL for searching?
- A. Use SOSL option to ignore custom indexes as search fields are pre-indexed.
- B. Keep searches specific and avoid wildcards where possible.
- C. Use searches against single Objects for greater speed and accuracy.
- D. Use Find in "ALL FIELDS" for faster searches.
Answer: B,D
Explanation:
The two best practices that should be followed when using SOSL for searching are: Keep searches specific and avoid wildcards where possible. Use Find in "ALL FIELDS" for faster searches. These best practices are helpful because they optimize the search performance and relevance. For example, keeping searches specific and avoiding wildcards where possible can reduce the number of results returned and improve the search accuracy. Using Find in "ALL FIELDS" for faster searches can leverage Salesforce's pre-defined indexes on common fields and return results more quickly than specifying individual fields.
NEW QUESTION # 55
A casino is implementing Salesforce and is planning to build a customer 360 degree view for a customer who visits its resorts. The casino currently maintains the following systems that record customer activity: L Point-of-sale system: All purchases for a customer
2. Salesforce; All customer service activity and sales activities for a customer
3. Mobile app: All bookings, preferences, and browser activity for a customer
4. Marketing: All email, SMS, and social campaigns for a customer
Customer service agents using Salesforce would like to view the activities from all four systems to provide support to customers. The information has to be current and real time.
What strategy should the data architect implement to satisfy this requirement?
- A. Use a customer data mart to create the 360-degree view of the customer.
- B. Explore external data sources in Salesforce to build a 360-degree view of the customer.
- C. Periodically upload summary information in Salesforce to build a 360-degree view.
- D. Migrate customer activities fro, all four system into Salesforce.
Answer: B
Explanation:
Exploring external data sources in Salesforce to build a 360 degree view of the customer (option A) is the best strategy to satisfy this requirement, as it allows customer service agents to view the activities from all four systems in real time without storing or replicating the data in Salesforce. Using a customer data mart to create the 360 degree view of the customer (option B) is not a good strategy, as it may introduce additional complexity and cost, and it does not leverage the native Salesforce features. Periodically uploading summary information in Salesforce to build a 360 degree view (option C) is also not a good strategy, as it may cause data latency and inconsistency, and it does not provide real-time information. Migrating customer activities from all four systems into Salesforce (option D) is also not a good strategy, as it may cause data redundancy and conflicts, and it does not scale well with large volumes of data.

NEW QUESTION # 58
Northern trail Outfitters (NTO) uses Sales Cloud and service Cloud to manage sales and support processes. Some of NTOs team are complaining they see new fields on their page unsure of which values need be input. NTO is concerned about lack of governance in making changes to Salesforce.
Which governance measure should a data architect recommend to solve this issue?
- A. Create reports to identify which users are leaving blank, and use external data sources o agreement the missing data.
- B. Add description fields to explain why the field is used, and mark the field as required.
- C. Create and manage a data dictionary and ups a governance process for changes made to common objects.
- D. Create validation rules with error messages to explain why the fields is used
Answer: C
Explanation:
To solve the issue of lack of governance in making changes to Salesforce, a data architect should recommend creating and managing a data dictionary and setting up a governance process for changes made to common objects. A data dictionary is a document that defines the metadata, structure, and relationship of each object and field in Salesforce. A governance process is a set of rules and procedures that govern how changes are proposed, reviewed, approved, and deployed in Salesforce. These measures will help NTO to maintain consistency, quality, and clarity of their data model and avoid confusion and errors among users. Option A is incorrect because adding description fields to explain why the field is used, and marking the field as required will not prevent unauthorized or unnecessary changes to Salesforce. Option C is incorrect because creating reports to identify which users are leaving blank, and using external data sources to augment the missing data will not address the root cause of the issue, which is the lack of governance in making changes to Salesforce. Option D is incorrect because creating validation rules with error messages to explain why the fields are used will not stop users from seeing new fields on their page that they are unsure of.
NEW QUESTION # 59
Universal Containers (UC) needs to run monthly and yearly reports on opportunities and orders for sales reporting. There are 5 million opportunities and 10 million orders. Sales users are complaining that the report will regularly timeout.
What is the fastest and most effective way for a data architect to solve the time-out issue?
- A. Create a skinny table in Salesforce, and copy order and opportunity fields into the skinny table and create the required reports on It.
- B. Create custom fields on opportunity, and copy data from order into those custom fields and run all reports on Opportunity object.
- C. Extract opportunity and order data from Salesforce, and use a third-party reporting tool to run reports outside of Salesforce.
- D. Create an aggregate custom object that summarizes the monthly and yearly values into the required format for the required reports.
Answer: D
Explanation:
Creating an aggregate custom object that summarizes the monthly and yearly values into the required format for the required reports (option D) is the fastest and most effective way for a data architect to solve the time-out issue, as it reduces the amount of data that needs to be queried and processed by the reports. Creating custom fields on opportunity and copying data from order into those custom fields (option A) is not a good solution, as it may create data redundancy and inconsistency, and it does not address the large volume of data.
Extracting opportunity and order data from Salesforce and using a third-party reporting tool (option B) is also not a good solution, as it may introduce additional complexity and cost, and it does not leverage the native reporting features of Salesforce. Creating a skinny table in Salesforce and copying order and opportunity fields into it (option C) is also not a good solution, as it may not support all the reporting requirements, and it does not reduce the number of records.
NEW QUESTION # 60
Cloud Kicks currently has a Public Read/Write sharing model for the company's Contacts. Cloud Kicks management team requests that only the owner of a contact record be allowed to delete that contact.
What should an Architect do to meet these requirements?
- A. Set the Sharing settings as Public Read Only for the Contact object.
- B. Set the profile of the users to remove delete permission from the Contact object.
- C. Check if the current user is NOT the owner by creating a "before delete" trigger.
- D. Check if the current user is NOT the owner by creating a validation rule on the Contact object.
Answer: C
Explanation:
Checking if the current user is NOT the owner by creating a "before delete" trigger can meet the requirement of allowing only the owner of a contact record to delete that contact. A trigger is a piece of Apex code that can execute before or after a record is inserted, updated, deleted, or undeleted. A "before delete" trigger can prevent the deletion of a record by using the addError() method.
NEW QUESTION # 61
Get Cloudy Consulting is migrating their legacy system's users and data to Salesforce. They will be creating 15,000 users, 1.5 million Account records, and 15 million Invoice records. The visibility of these records is controlled by a 50 owner and criteria-based sharing rules.
Get Cloudy Consulting needs to minimize data loading time during this migration to a new organization.
Which two approaches will accomplish this goal? (Choose two.)
- A. Defer sharing calculations until the data has finished uploading.
- B. Create the users, upload all data, and then deploy the sharing rules.
- C. Contact Salesforce to activate indexing before uploading the data.
- D. First, load all account records, and then load all user records.
Answer: A,B
Explanation:
Creating the users, uploading all data, and then deploying the sharing rules will reduce the number of sharing recalculations that occur during the data load. Deferring sharing calculations until the data has finished uploading will also improve the performance by postponing the sharing rule evaluation. These are the recommended best practices for loading large data sets into Salesforce
NEW QUESTION # 62
A casino is implementing salesforce and is planning to build a customer 360 view for a customer who visits its resorts. The casino currently maintained the following systems that records customer activity:
1. Point of sales system: All purchases for a customer.
2. Salesforce: All customer service activity and sales activity for a customer.
3. Mobile app: All bookings, preferences and browser activity for a customer.
4. Marketing: All email, SMS and social campaigns for a customer.
Customer service agents using salesforce would like to view the activities from all system to provide supports to customers. The information has to be current and real time.
What strategy should the data architect implement to satisfy this requirement?
- A. Use a customer data mart to view the 360 view of customer.
- B. Periodically upload summary information in salesforce to build 360 view.
- C. Migrate customer activities from all 4 systems into salesforce.
- D. Explore external data sources in salesforce to build 360 view of customer.
Answer: D
Explanation:
Exploring external data sources in Salesforce to build 360 view of customer is the best strategy to satisfy the requirement, as it allows real-time access to data from other systems without storing it in Salesforce3. Using a customer data mart may not provide real-time information or may require additional integration efforts. Migrating customer activities from all 4 systems into Salesforce may exceed the storage limits or cause data quality issues. Periodically uploading summary information in Salesforce may not provide current or detailed information.
NEW QUESTION # 63
Ursa Major Solar's legacy system has a quarterly accounts receivable report that compiles data from the following:
- Accounts
- Contacts
- Opportunities
- Orders
- Order Line Items
Which issue will an architect have when implemented this in Salesforce?
- A. Custom report types CANNOT contain Opportunity data.
- B. Salesforce does NOT support Orders or Order Line Items.
- C. Salesforce does NOT allow more than four objects in a single report type.
- D. A report CANNOT contain data from Accounts and Contacts.
Answer: C
Explanation:
The issue that an architect will have when implementing the quarterly accounts receivable report in Salesforce is that Salesforce does not allow more than four objects in a single report type. A report type defines the set of records and fields available to a report based on the relationships between a primary object and up to four related objects. A report type has the following limitations:
It cannot include more than four objects in a single report type, which means that the report cannot compile data from five objects (Accounts, Contacts, Opportunities, Orders, and Order Line Items) at once.
It cannot include objects that are more than two relationships away from each other, which means that the report cannot access fields from Order Line Items through Opportunities and Orders.
It cannot include objects that have a many-to-many relationship with each other, which means that the report cannot access fields from Contacts and Opportunities through the junction object Opportunity Contact Role.
NEW QUESTION # 64
Universal Containers has successfully migrated 50 million records into five different objects multiple times in a full copy sandbox. The Integration Engineer wants to re-run the test again a month before it goes live into Production. What is the recommended approach to re-run the test?
- A. Refresh the full copy sandbox and re-run the data migration test.
- B. Hard delete all 5 objects' data and re-run the data migration test.
- C. Truncate all 5 objects and hard delete before running the migration test.
- D. Truncate all 5 objects quickly and re-run the data migration test.
Answer: A
NEW QUESTION # 65
Northern Trail Outfitters (NTO) has the following systems:
Customer master-source of truth for customer information
Service cloud-customer support
Marketing cloud-marketing support
Enterprise data warehouse-business reporting
The customer data is duplicated across all these systems and are not kept in sync. Customers are also complaining that they get repeated marketing emails and have to call into update their information.
NTO is planning to implement master data management (MDM) solution across the enterprise.
Which three data will an MDM tool solve?
Choose 3 answers
- A. Data completeness
- B. Data accuracy and quality
- C. Data loss and recovery
- D. Data standardization
- E. Data duplication
Answer: B,D,E
Explanation:
According to the What is Master Data Management (MDM)? article, some of the data challenges that an MDM tool can solve are data duplication, data accuracy and quality, and data standardization. The article states that "MDM solutions comprise a broad range of data cleansing, transformation, and integration practices. As data sources are added to the system, MDM initiates processes to identify, collect, transform, and repair data. Once the data meets the quality thresholds, schemas and taxonomies are created to help maintain a high-quality master reference." Therefore, an MDM tool can help NTO eliminate data duplication across different systems, improve data accuracy and quality by removing errors and inconsistencies, and standardize data formats and definitions for better integration and analysis.
NEW QUESTION # 66

- D. Define data grouping metadata.
Answer: A
NEW QUESTION # 67
Universal Containers (UC) provides shipping services to its customers. They use Opportunities to track customer shipments. At any given time, shipping status can be one of the 10 values. UC has 200,000 Opportunity records. When creating a new field to track shipping status on opportunity, what should the architect do to improve data quality and avoid data skew?
- A. Create a text field and make it an external ID.
- B. Create a picklist field, values sorted alphabetically.
- C. Create a Master -Detail to custom object ShippingStatus c.
- D. Create a Lookup to custom object ShippingStatus c.
Answer: B
NEW QUESTION # 68
A customer needs a sales model that allows the following:
Opportunities need to be assigned to sales people based on the zip code.
Each sales person can be assigned to multiple zip codes.
Each zip code is assigned to a sales area definition. Sales is aggregated by sales area for reporting.
What should a data architect recommend?
- A. Assign opportunities using list views using zip code.
- B. Add custom fields in opportunities for zip code and use assignment rules.
- C. Allow sales users to manually assign opportunity ownership based on zip code.
- D. Configure territory management feature to support opportunity assignment.
Answer: D
Explanation:
The best solution to assign opportunities based on zip code and sales area is to configure territory management feature to support opportunity assignment. Territory management is a feature that allows you to organize your sales team into territories based on criteria such as geography, industry, product line, or customer segment.
You can assign accounts and opportunities to territories using assignment rules or manual sharing. You can also define forecast managers and roll up forecasts by territory45. Assign opportunities using list views using zip code is not a good solution because it is inefficient and does not support reporting by sales area. Add custom fields in opportunities for zip code and use assignment rules is not a good solution because it requires creating additional fields and does not support reporting by sales area. Allow sales users to manually assign opportunity ownership based on zip code is not a good solution because it is prone to errors and does not support reporting by sales area.
NEW QUESTION # 69
Universal Containers (UC) is a business that works directly with individual consumers (B2C). They are moving from a current home-grown CRM system to Salesforce. UC has about one million consumer records. What should the architect recommend for optimal use of Salesforce functionality and also to avoid data loading issues?
- A. Load all individual consumers as Account records and avoid using the Contact object.
- B. Load one Account record and one Contact record for each individual consumer.
- C. Create one Account and load individual consumers as Contacts linked to that one Account.
- D. Create a Custom Object Individual Consumer c to load all individual consumers.
Answer: C
Explanation:
According to the exam guide, one of the objectives is to "describe best practices for implementing a single-org strategy in a B2C scenario"1. This implies that option D is the best practice for loading individual consumers as contacts in Salesforce. This approach avoids creating unnecessary accounts and reduces data duplication. Option C is not correct because it creates one account per contact, which increases data volume and complexity. Options A and B are not correct because they do not leverage the standard contact object, which provides native functionality and integration with other Salesforce features.
NEW QUESTION # 70
Universal Containers wishes to maintain Lead data from Leads even after they are deleted and cleared from the Recycle Bin. What approach should be implemented to achieve this solution?
- A. Use a Converted Lead report to display data on Leads that have been deleted.
- B. Send data to a Data Warehouse and mark Leads as deleted in that system.
- C. Use a Lead standard report and filter on the IsDeleted standard field.
- D. Query Salesforce with the queryAll API method or using the ALL ROWS SOQL keywords.
Answer: B
NEW QUESTION # 71
Universal Container has a Sales Cloud implementation for a sales team and an enterprise resource planning (ERP) as a customer master Sales team are complaining about duplicate account and data quality issues with account data.
Which two solutions should a data architect recommend to resolve the complaints?
- A. Implement a de-dupe solution and establish account ownership in Salesforce
- B. Integrate Salesforce with ERP, and make ERP as system of truth.
- C. Build a nightly sync job from ERP to Salesforce.
- D. Build a nightly batch job to de-dupe data, and merge account records.
Answer: A,B
Explanation:
Integrating Salesforce with ERP and making ERP the system of truth (option B) and implementing a de-dupe solution and establishing account ownership in Salesforce (option D) are the two solutions that a data architect should recommend to resolve the complaints. Option B ensures that account data is consistent and accurate across both systems, while option D prevents duplicate records and clarifies who owns each account in Salesforce. Building a nightly batch job to de-dupe data and merge account records (option A) is not a good solution, as it does not address the root cause of the duplication and may result in data loss or conflicts.
Building a nightly sync job from ERP to Salesforce (option C) is also not sufficient, as it does not prevent duplication or establish ownership in Salesforce.
NEW QUESTION # 72
Salesforce is being deployed in Ursa Major Solar's disparate, multi-system ERP environment. Ursa major Solar wants to maintain data synchronization between systems.
Which two techniques should be used to achieve this goal? (Choose two.)
- A. Utilize an MDM strategy to outline a single source of truth.
- B. Utilize workbench to update files within systems.
- C. Build synchronization reports and dashboards.
- D. Integrate Salesforce with the ERP environment.
Answer: A,D
Explanation:
Option A is correct because integrating Salesforce with the ERP environment is a technique to maintain data synchronization between systems1. Option C is correct because utilizing an MDM strategy to outline a single source of truth is another technique to ensure data quality and consistency across systems2. Option B is not correct because utilizing workbench to update files within systems is not a technique to maintain data synchronization, but a tool to perform data manipulation tasks3. Option D is not correct because building synchronization reports and dashboards is not a technique to maintain data synchronization, but a way to monitor and analyze data4.
