B2B-Commerce-Developer Practice Questions

To verify changes by using an external service, a developer can use either of these two ways:

• Create an Apex class that implements the sfdc_checkout.CartShippingCharges interface and defines the getShippingCharges method. This method takes a Cart object as an input parameter and returns a list of CartDeliveryGroupMethod objects with the updated shipping charges. The developer then needs to register the Apex class as the Shipping Calculation Integration in the store administration. This way, the store can call the external service to calculate the shipping charges for each delivery group in the cart.
• Create an Apex class that defines a method to retrieve the shipping charges from an external service and update the Cart Delivery Group Method object. The developer then needs to invoke this method from a trigger on the Cart Delivery Group Method object. This way, the store can update the shipping charges whenever the delivery group method is inserted or updated.

The other options are not valid ways to verify changes by using an external service. Creating a flow using an action is not supported for B2B Commerce, and creating a trigger on the Cart Delivery Group object will not update the shipping charges for each delivery group method. References:

• CartShippingCharges Interface
• CartDeliveryGroupMethod Object

Three statements that are true about Global API versioning are:

• Calling in with an API version set to lower than 1 will result in an exceptional case where the exception class ccrz.BelowMinAPIVersionException will be returned to callers. This exception indicates that the API version is not supported by the framework and the caller should use a higher API version.
• The API version is scoped at the Class API level and NOT at the method level. This means that all the methods in a class will use the same API version that is specified by the caller. For example, if the caller passes an API version of 4 to ccrz.ccServiceProduct.getProducts(), then all the other methods in ccrz.ccServiceProduct will also use API version 4.
• Calling in with an API version set to more than current maximum will result in exception case where the exception class ccrz.ExceedsMaxAPIVersionException will be returned to callers. This exception indicates that the API version is not supported by the framework and the caller should use a lower API version.

Two different types of services that Salesforce B2B Commerce APIs leverage are:

• Logic services which are responsible for implementing business logic associated with entities. These services are defined in the logic classes, such as ccrz.ccLogicCart, ccrz.ccLogicOrder, or ccrz.ccLogicProduct. These classes provide methods for validating inputs, performing calculations, applying rules, or updating data for each entity.
• Data services which are responsible for querying and transforming data from entities. These services are defined in the service classes, such as ccrz.ccServiceCart, ccrz.ccServiceOrder, or ccrz.ccServiceProduct. These classes provide methods for creating, reading, updating, and deleting data for each entity. Salesforce References: B2B Commerce and D2C Commerce Developer Guide, Service Classes, Logic Classes

Two data types that are considered discrete units of work (code units) within a transaction in the debug logs are web service invocation and Apex class. A discrete unit of work (code unit) is a segment of executable code that runs as part of a transaction in Salesforce. A transaction is a sequence of operations that are treated as a single unit of work and are executed under certain isolation and consistency rules. A transaction can consist of one or more discrete units of work (code units) that are executed sequentially or concurrently depending on various factors such as triggers, asynchronous calls, or limits. A debug log is arecord of database operations, system processes, and errors that occur when executing a transaction or running unit tests in Salesforce. A debug log can capture information about each discrete unit of work (code unit) within a transaction, such as its start time, end time, duration, events, variables, and limits. A web service invocation is a type of discrete unit of work (code unit) that involves calling an external web service from Apex code using SOAP or REST protocols. A web service invocation can be synchronous or asynchronous depending on the method used to make the callout. A web service invocation can be captured in a debug log with its details and results. An Apex class is another type of discrete unit of work (code unit) that involves executing Apex code that defines a class with properties and methods. An Apex class can be invoked from various sources such as triggers, Visualforce pages, Lightning components, or API calls. An Apex class can be captured in a debug log with its details and results. A validation rule is not a type of discrete unit of work (code unit) within a transaction in the debug logs, as it is not a segment of executable code but rather a formula expression that defines a business rule for a field or object. A validation rule can be evaluated during a transaction and cause an error if the rule condition is not met, but it cannot be captured as a separate code unit in a debug log. A Lightning component load is not a type of discrete unit of work (code unit) within a transaction in the debug logs either, as it is not a segment of executable code but rather an event that occurs when a Lightning component is rendered on a web page or application. A Lightning component load can be measured by various performance tools such as Lightning Inspector or Lighthouse, but it cannot be captured as a separate code unit in a debug log.
