Salesforce PDI Online Questions & Answers

• Question 181:

  Consider the following code snippet for a Visualforce page that is launched using a Custom Button on the Account detail page layout.

  

  When the Save button is pressed the developer must perform a complex validation that involves multiple objects and, upon success, redirect the user to another Visualforce page.

  What can the developer use to meet this business requirement?

  A. Apex
  B. trigger
  C. Controller
  D. extension
  D. extension

  ---

  Explanation

  A controller extension should be used because the page already uses a standard controller, and an extension allows the developer to add custom logic such as complex cross-object validation and custom navigation after the Save action.

• Question 182:

  A team of many developers work in their own individual orgs that have the same configuration as the production org.

  Which type of org is best suited for this scenario?

  A. Developer Sandbox
  B. Full Sandbox
  C. Developer Edition
  D. Partner Developer Edition
  A. Developer Sandbox

  ---

  Explanation

  Developer Sandboxes are ideal for individual developers. They provide the same configuration as production and allow developers to work independently.

  Full Sandbox: Used for staging or testing environments, not suitable for individual developer work.

  Developer Edition: Not connected to the production org and lacks sandbox functionality.

  Partner Developer Edition: Used by ISVs for AppExchange development, not suitable for internal teams.

• Question 183:

  Universal Containers has an order system that uses an Order Number to identify an order for customers and service agents. Order records will be imported into Salesforce.

  How should the Order Number field be defined in Salesforce?

  A. Indirect Lockup
  B. Direct Lookup
  C. External ID and Unique
  D. Lookup
  C. External ID and Unique

  ---

  Explanation

  Why External ID?

  The Order Number is used to identify records uniquely, both in Salesforce and in external systems.

  Marking it as an External ID ensures it can be matched or referenced during data imports and integrations.

  Why Unique?

  Setting the field as Unique ensures that duplicate values are not allowed for the Order Number.

  Why Not Other Options?

  A. Indirect Lookup: Used for external object relationships, which is not applicable here.

  B. Direct Lookup: Not relevant for unique field identification.

  D. Lookup: Used for creating relationships, not for identifying unique fields.

• Question 184:

  Universal Containers hires a developer to build a custom search page to help users find the Accounts they want. Users will be able to search on Name, Description, and a custom comments field.

  Which consideration should the developer be aware of when deciding between SOQL and SOSL? Choose 2 answers

  A. SOSL is faster for text searches.
  B. SOQL is able to return more records
  C. SOQL Is faster for text searches.
  D. SOSL is able to return more records.
  A. SOSL is faster for text searches.
  B. SOQL is able to return more records

  ---

  Explanation

  SOSL:

  Designed for full-text searches, making it faster for unstructured or broad text searches across multiple objects.

  Ideal for searching multiple fields simultaneously.

  SOQL:

  Optimized for structured queries where you need more control over filtering and relationships.

  Can return up to 50,000 records in a single query, while SOSL returns only 2,000.

  C and D are incorrect because SOSL is faster for text searches, not SOQL.

  SOQL vs. SOSL: https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.soql_sosl.meta/soql_sosl /sforce_api_calls_soql_sosl_intro.htm

• Question 185:

  The sales management team at Universal Containers requires that the Lead Source field of the Lead record be populated when a Lead is converted What should be done to ensure that a user populates the Lead Source field prior to converting a Lead?

  A. Create an after trigger on Lead.
  B. Use Lead Conversion field mapping.
  C. Use a formula field.
  D. Use a validation rule.
  D. Use a validation rule.

  ---

  Explanation

  A validation rule can enforce that the Lead Source field is populated before the Lead is converted, preventing the conversion from completing until the requirement is met. Triggers and formulas do not reliably stop the conversion process based on missing user input, and Lead Conversion field mapping only controls how values map to target records, not whether the field is required.

• Question 186:

  A company decides to implement a new process where every time an Opportunity is created, a follow up Task should be created and assigned to the Opportunity Owner.

  What is the most efficient way for a developer to implement this?

  A. Apex trigger on Task
  B. Task actions
  C. Auto-launched flow on Task
  D. Record-triggered flow on Opportunity
  D. Record-triggered flow on Opportunity

  ---

  Explanation

  Record-triggered flows allow automation to create tasks when an Opportunity is created. It is declarative, easy to maintain, and does not require custom code.

  Steps:

  Create a record-triggered flow for the Opportunity object.

  Set it to run on record creation.

  Use the "Create Records" element to create a task for the Opportunity owner.

• Question 187:

  A developer must perform a complex SOQL query that joins two objects in a Lightning component.

  How can the Lightning component execute the query?

  A. Write the query in a custom Lightning web component wrapper and invoke from the Lightning component.
  B. Invoke an Apex class with the method annotated as @AuraEnabled to perform the query.
  C. Use the Salesforce Streaming APL to perform the SOQL query.
  D. Create a flow to execute the query end invoke from the Lightning component.
  B. Invoke an Apex class with the method annotated as @AuraEnabled to perform the query.

  ---

  Explanation

  The Lightning component cannot directly perform SOQL queries.

  An Apex class annotated with @AuraEnabled provides server-side logic that can execute the SOQL query and return the data to the Lightning component.

• Question 188:

  Which action causes a before trigger to fire by default for Accounts?

  A. Renaming or replacing picklists
  B. updating addresses using Mass Address updated tool
  C. Importing data using the Data Loader and the Bulk API
  D. Converting Leads to Contacts
  C. Importing data using the Data Loader and the Bulk API

  ---

  Explanation

  A before trigger fires when records are inserted, updated, or deleted. Using the Data Loader or Bulk API to import data updates records, which triggers the before insert or before update events.

  Not Suitable:

  Option A: Renaming or replacing picklists does not trigger a record-level operation.

  Option B: The Mass Address Update tool is not a record operation that triggers before triggers.

  Option D: Converting leads to contacts triggers lead conversion events, not directly related to Account triggers.

• Question 189:

  Where are two locations a developer can look to find information about the status of batch or future methods? Choose 2 answers

  A. Developer Console
  B. Apex Jobs
  C. Paused Flow Interviews component
  D. Apex Flex Queue
  A. Developer Console
  B. Apex Jobs

  ---

  Explanation

  The Developer Console provides access to logs and monitoring tools where a developer can view execution details and status of asynchronous Apex, including batch and future methods. Apex Jobs (in Setup) shows the status, progress, and results of batch, scheduled, and future Apex jobs. The Paused Flow Interviews component is specific to flows, and Apex Flex Queue only manages queued batch jobs, not general status monitoring.

• Question 190:

  A developer is creating a Lightning web component to show a list of sales records.

  The Sales Representative user should be able to see the commission field on each record. The Sales Assistant user should be able to see all fields on the record except the commission field.

  How should this be enforced so that the component works for both users without showing any errors?

  A. Use WITH SECURITY_ENFORCED In the SOQL that fetches the data for the component,
  B. Use Security.stripInaccessible Le to remove fields inaccessible to the current user.
  C. Use Lightning Locker Service to enforce sharing rules and field-level security.
  D. Use Lightning Data Service to get the collection of sales records.
  B. Use Security.stripInaccessible Le to remove fields inaccessible to the current user.

  ---

  Explanation

  Using Security.stripInaccessible ensures compliance with field-level security (FLS) and prevents users from accessing fields they do not have permission to view. In this scenario:

  The commission field is inaccessible to Sales Assistants, and Security.stripInaccessible will automatically remove this field from the result set.

  It prevents runtime errors when a user without proper access attempts to retrieve restricted fields.
