Discuss Salesforce ARC-801 Exam Topic 1 Question 1

Universal Containers (UC) is about to implement Sales Cloud, Service Cloud, and Revenue Cloud within its newly created Salesforce environment. But before UC begins, the CIO would like to understand the options for creating and migrating changes within Salesforce. UC is about to use a sandbox for the initial build and will deploy customisation up to the production environment. UC has decided to build packages of metadata to silo the functionality between the three clouds it is implementing for.

What are two key considerations a Solution Architect should keep in mind when recommending packaging?

Choose 2 answers

ADesign the package as modular, loosely coupled units of metadata rather than large chunks of an org.

BOnly utilize one functional automation tool (Flow, Workflow Rules, Process Builder) per object.

CIt is impossible to track source control with package development; either the org owns the source or a source control does, but never both.

DClouds like Revenue Cloud have their own packages so it is easy to work with them because their automation is limited.

Suggested Answer: A, B

Packaging is a way of organizing and distributing your customizations and applications on the Salesforce platform1.Packaging can help you manage changes across different environments, such as sandboxes and production2.

Designing the package as modular, loosely coupled units of metadata rather than large chunks of an org is a best practice for packaging3.This can help you avoid dependencies and conflicts between different packages and clouds3.It can also make your package easier to maintain and upgrade3.

Only utilizing one functional automation tool (Flow, Workflow Rules, Process Builder) per object is another best practice for packaging4.This can help you avoid performance issues and unexpected behaviors caused by multiple tools triggering on the same object4.It can also make your package easier to debug and test4.

Wait, is it really impossible to track source control? That sounds off!

B is a solid point. Keeping one automation tool per object simplifies things.

D seems a bit misleading. Revenue Cloud has its complexities too.

I disagree with C. You can track source control if done right!

A is definitely a key consideration! Modular design is the way to go.

I vaguely remember that Revenue Cloud has specific packages, but I’m not confident about how that affects automation. It might be worth looking into.

I feel like there was something about source control and packages, but I can't recall the details. It seems tricky to manage both at once.

I'm not entirely sure, but I think we talked about limiting automation tools per object to avoid conflicts. That might be relevant here.

I remember discussing the importance of modular design in packaging during our last study session. It really helps with managing dependencies.

This question seems a bit tricky, but I think I can figure it out. I'll need to review the details about configuring the Cisco IdS using PCCE Web Administration Manager.

I'm not too familiar with these project management concepts. I'll have to think through the options carefully to determine the best approach for assessing PPM functions.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I know Cisco Transport Planner is used for network planning, but I can't recall the specific file that gets exported for provisioning. I'll have to think this through carefully.
