Data-Architect Exam Dumps : Salesforce Certified Platform Data Architect (Plat-Arch-201)

The three considerations needed prior to a SF Connect implementation are to develop an object relationship strategy, identify the external tables to sync into external objects, and assess whether the external data source is reachable via an ODATA endpoint. SF Connect is a feature that allows integrating external data sources with Salesforce using external objects. External objects are similar to custom objects, but they store metadata only and not data. They enable on-demand access to external data via standard Salesforce APIs and user interfaces. To implement SF Connect, a data architect needs to consider how the external objects will relate to other objects in Salesforce, which external tables will be exposed as external objects, and whether the external data source supports ODATA protocol for data access.

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.

 Implementing a custom big object to store the data is the best recommendation to reduce the performance degradation of the platform, as it allows storing large volumes of data that do not need real-time access or reporting. Custom big objects can be defined using metadata API or developer console, and support up to 1 billion records per object. Creating a custom object or using the standard order object would consume a lot of storage space and impact the performance of queries and reports. Using a standard big object defined by salesforce would not be applicable for order records, as standard big objects are predefined for specific use cases such as audit trails or field history.
