Salesforce Certified Integration Architect — Question 29

An integration architect has been tasked with integrating Salesforce with an on-premise system. Due to some established policies, this system must remain on-premise.

What should the architect use to build a solution for this requirement?

Answer options

• A. Use Heroku Connect if the data is hosted in Heroku.
• B. Use Salesforce Connect if the data is hosted in Salesforce.
• C. Use Salesforce Connect if the database supports Open Database Connectivity (ODBC).
• D. Use Salesforce Connect if the database supports Open Data Protocol (OData).

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because Salesforce Connect is designed to integrate with external systems that support OData, which allows for seamless data access from on-premise databases. Option A is incorrect as Heroku Connect is not suitable for on-premise systems. Option B is not applicable as it pertains to Salesforce-hosted data, and option C is incorrect since ODBC is not the required protocol for Salesforce Connect in this scenario.
