PD1 Deployment Strategies 3

Question 1

Which metadata type is used to control field-level security and is included in a deployment as part of a Profile or Permission Set?

Accepted Answer

FieldPermissions

Answer

FieldPermissions is the metadata subtype within Profile and Permission Set XML that controls field-level security settings.

Question 2

What is a key risk of deploying Profiles via Change Sets between orgs with different installed packages?

Accepted Answer

Profile XML may reference fields or objects that do not exist in the target org

Answer

If the target org lacks certain managed package fields or objects referenced in the Profile XML, the deployment will fail with missing component errors.

Question 3

In source-format projects, how are Custom Object fields stored on the file system?

Accepted Answer

Each field in its own file under a 'fields' subdirectory

Answer

Source format decomposes CustomObject metadata so each field is stored as an individual XML file inside a 'fields' subdirectory of the object folder.

Question 4

Which Salesforce CLI command validates a deployment against a production org without committing any changes?

Accepted Answer

sf project deploy validate

Answer

'sf project deploy validate' performs a full validation including Apex test execution against the org without saving any components.

Question 5

A team uses scratch orgs for development. What is the recommended way to share a scratch org definition across the team?

Accepted Answer

Commit the project-scratch-def.json to the shared repository

Answer

The project-scratch-def.json file defines the scratch org configuration and should be committed to version control so all team members create identical environments.
