DreamHouse Realty has an integration that creates records in a Salesforce Custom Object. The Custom Object has a field marked as required on the page layout.

DreamHouse Realty has noticed that many of the records coming from the external system are missing data in this field.

The Architect needs to ensure this field always contains data coming from the source system.

Which two approaches should the Architect take? Choose 2 answers

  1. Set up a Validation Rule to prevent blank values.
  2. Create a Workflow to default a value into this field.
  3. Mark the field required in setup at the field level.
  4. Blame the customer's external system for bad data.

Answer(s): A,C



Universal Containers has two systems. Salesforce and an on -premise ERP system. An architect has been tasked with copying Opportunity records to the ERP once they reach a Closed/Won Stage. The Opportunity record in the ERP system will be read-only for all fields copied in from Salesforce.
What is the optimal real-time approach that achieves this solution?

  1. Implement a Master Data Management system to determine system of record.
  2. Implement a workflow rule that sends Opportunity data through Outbound Messaging.
  3. Have the ERP poll Salesforce nightly and bring in the desired Opportunities.
  4. Implement an hourly integration to send Salesforce Opportunities to the ERP system.

Answer(s): B



Universal Containers (UC) has three systems: Salesforce, a cloud -based ERP system, and an on - premise Order Management System (OMS). An architect has been tasked with creating a solution that uses Salesforce as the system of record for Leads and the OMS as the system of record for Account and Contacts. UC wants Accounts and Contacts to be able to maintain their names in each system (i.e., "John Doe" in the OMS and "Johnny Doe" in Salesforce), but wants to have a consolidated data store which links referenced records across the systems.
What approach should an architect suggest so the requirements are met?

  1. Have Salesforce poll the OMS nightly and bring in the desired Accounts and Contacts.
  2. Implement an integration tool to send OMS Accounts and Contacts to Salesforce.
  3. Implement a Master Data Management strategy to reconcile Leads, Accounts, and Contacts.
  4. Use the Streaming API to send Account and Contact data from Salesforce to the OMS.

Answer(s): C



An architect has been asked by a client to develop a solution that will integrate data and resolve duplicates and discrepancies between Salesforce and one or more external systems.
What two factors should the architect take into consideration when deciding whether or not to use a Master Data Management system to achieve this solution?
Choose 2 answers

  1. Whether the systems are cloud -based or on -premise.
  2. Whether or not Salesforce replaced a legacy CRM.
  3. Whether the system of record changes for different tables.
  4. The number of systems that are integrating with each other.

Answer(s): C,D



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?

  1. Master Data Management systems determine system of record, and the Architect doesn't have to think about what data is controlled by what system.
  2. Key stakeholders should review any fields that share the same purpose between systems to see how they will be used in Salesforce.
  3. The database schema for each external system should be reviewed, and fields with different names should always be separate fields in Salesforce.
  4. 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.

Answer(s): C
