Salesforce Exam B2C Solution Architect Topic 1 Question 81 Discussion

Actual exam question for Salesforce's B2C Solution Architect exam

Question #: 81
Topic #: 1

Universal Containers (UC) is sending Invoice data from an external ERP system into their Salesforce org. Management is worried about data storage in their org, and after some analyses, they have identified the ERP Invoice records responsible for over 40% of the data storage. Their current business process does not require a Salesforce user to edit these records, so they can be read-only.

What recommendation should a Solution Architect make in order to reduce the storage size in Salesforce and still be able to access the ERP Invoice records in Salesforce?

AUse Change Data Capture to sync Invoice records

BBuild a custom solution to view the ERP Invoice records in Salesforce

CUse Platform Events to sync Invoice record changes

DUse Salesforce Connect/External Objects (with custom Apex adapters)

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: D

This answer is correct because it is a way to reduce the storage size in Salesforce and still be able to access the ERP Invoice records in Salesforce. Salesforce Connect/External Objects can be used to display external data in Salesforce without copying or storing it. Custom Apex adapters can be used to connect to any external system that has a web service API, such as an ERP system.

Haha, Option D - the 'let someone else handle the data' approach. I like it! Less work for us, more work for the ERP folks. Win-win!

Option D, huh? Sounds like a lot of work, but I guess if it solves the storage issue, it might be worth it. Just hope the Apex adapter doesn't turn into a nightmare!

Yeah, the Apex adapter might be tricky to set up, but it could solve the storage issue for the ERP Invoice records.

Hmm, I'm not sure about that. Couldn't we just use Change Data Capture (Option A) to sync the data without storing it all in Salesforce? Seems simpler than setting up a custom adapter.

I agree, Option D is the best choice here. Keeping the ERP data outside of Salesforce and just using it as a view makes a lot of sense.
