Integration Architecture Designer Changed Integration-Architect Questions

The authentication is achieved by handling it in the code. A Named Credential is a type of metadata that specifies the URL of a calloutendpoint and its required authentication parameters. An Apex callout is a way to invoke anexternal web service or API from Apex code. When using a Named Credential with an Apex callout, the authentication is handled by the Apex code that invokes the callout. The Apex code can use the HttpRequest class to set the endpoint, method, headers, and body of the callout request, and use the Http class to send the request and receive the response. The Apex code can also use the NamedCredential class to access the properties of the Named Credential, such as the principal type, protocol, and credential type. Handling authentication with login flows is not a valid option because login flows are a way to customize the user login process in Salesforce, not for external web services or APIs. Connecting via Salesforce Connect or Communities is not a valid option because they are not related to Apex callouts or Named Credentials.

The integration architect should consider whether the fulfillment system can make a callback into Salesforce and whether it can implement a contract-first Outbound Messaging interface. A callback is a wayfor the fulfillment system to send a response or an acknowledgment back to Salesforce after receiving an order1. This can help ensure data consistencyand reliability between the two systems. A contract-first Outbound Messaging interface is an approach where the integration is designed based on a predefined XML schema that defines the structure and content of the messages2. This can help ensure interoperability and compatibility between the two systems. The other two questions are not relevant for the integration architect to consider. The fulfillment system does not need to create new addresses within the Order Create service, as this is a function of Salesforce3. The product catalog data does not need to be identical at all times in both systems, as long as there is a mapping or synchronization mechanism to handle any discrepancies

Handle verification process error in the Verification Webservice API in case there is a connection issue to the Webservice or if it responds with an error. This solution ensures that the agent can see an error message when the credit verification process failed, and take appropriate actions. The Verification Webservice API can implementerror handling logic to catch anyexceptions or errors that occur during the callout to the external agencies, and return a meaningful error message to the agent. The agent can then retry the verification process, or escalate the issue to a supervisor. References: Certification - Integration Architect - Trailhead, [Apex Web Services and Callouts]

User Interface API should be used to implement this integration. User Interface API is a RESTful API that allows you to create native mobile apps and custom web apps with the look and feel of Salesforce’s Lightning Experience. User Interface API provides access to metadata, data, and UI components, such as layouts, actions, picklists, and record types. User Interface API also handles security, performance, and compatibility across different devices and browsers.
