Salesforce Certified Data Architect — Question 24

Northern Trail Outfitters (NTO) runs its entire business out of an enterprise data warehouse (EDW). NTO’s sales team is starting to use Salesforce after a recent implementation, but currently lacks the data required to advance leads and opportunities to the next stage.
NTO’s management has researched Salesforce Connect and would like to use it to virtualize and report on data from the EOW within Salesforce. NTO will be running thousands of reports per day across 10 to 15 external objects.
What should a data architect consider before implementing Salesforce Connect for reporting?

Answer options

• A. Maximum page size for server-driven paging
• B. Maximum external objects per org
• C. OData callout limits per day
• D. Maximum number of records returned

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, as OData callout limits per day are crucial for managing the volume of data accessed through Salesforce Connect. If these limits are exceeded, it could hinder the ability to run reports effectively. Options A, B, and D are important considerations but do not directly address the limitations that would impact daily reporting needs as significantly as option C.
