PL-500 Question #166: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation

Question

You create a custom connector outside of a solution in your development environment. The custom connector includes custom code. You plan to deploy the custom connector to another environment by first adding it to a solution. When you deploy the solution, the custom code is not deployed successfully. You need to resolve the issue with the custom code. What should you do?

Options

• ADeploy the solution as unmanaged.
• BDeploy the solution as managed.
• CPublish the connector in the development environment.
• DImport a new solution with the custom connector.

Explanation

Custom connectors with custom code created outside a solution must be deployed as unmanaged to ensure the code is transported correctly to the target environment.

Common mistakes.

• B. Managed solutions restrict component modification and do not reliably carry custom code files that were authored outside the original solution context, which is the root cause of the failure.
• C. Publishing the connector in the development environment makes it available for use locally but has no effect on how its custom code is packaged or exported within a solution.
• D. Importing a new solution still does not resolve the issue because the problem is the deployment type, not which specific solution file is used.
