Salesforce Certified Platform Developer II — Question 190

A corporation has many different Salesforce orgs, with some different objects and some common objects, and wants to build a single Java application that can create, retrieve, and update common object records in all of the different orgs.

Which method of integration should the application use?

Answer options

• A. SOAP API with the Partner WSDL
• B. SOAP API with the Enterprise WSDL
• C. Apex REST Web Service
• D. Metadata API

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because the Partner WSDL is designed for working with multiple Salesforce orgs and allows for a dynamic approach to the schema, accommodating different object structures. In contrast, the Enterprise WSDL is specific to a single org's schema, making it unsuitable for integration across various orgs. Apex REST Web Service and Metadata API do not provide the necessary capabilities for the described use case.
