Adobe AD0-E722 Adobe Commerce Architect Master Exam Practice Test

This solution ensures that the data returned by the GraphQL queries is up to date, while also maintaining performance. By specifying a $cache(cacheidentity: Path\To\identityclass) directive for each GraphQL query, the relevant brands and associated products will be added as cache tags. 

The issue here is that the customer session data is randomly being lost when flushing the Magento cache storage. This is because the Redis configuration for caches and session data might be using the same database number, which causes the session data to be deleted along with the caches. The solution is to check the app/etc/env.php file and make sure that the Redis configuration for caches and session data use different database numbers. This will prevent the session data from being affected by the cache operations. References: https://experienceleague.adobe.com/docs/commerce-cloud-service/user-guide/develop/deploy/redis.html?lang=en#configure-redis 1

The issue is being caused by the high coupling between objects (CBO) value of the class MyService. CBO is a metric that measures the number of classes that are coupled to a given class, either by method calls, property or parameter references, inheritance, or constants1. A high CBO value indicates that the class is too tightly coupled with other classes, which makes it more difficult to maintain, test, and reuse2. To reduce the CBO value, the Architect should introduce a new class that encapsulates the five scalar parameters that configure the behavior of MyService. This way, the constructor of MyService will only have one parameter of the new class type, instead of five scalar parameters. This will also make the code more readable and maintainable, as the new class can provide methods to access and manipulate the configuration data. The constants referencing other classes should not be consolidated into a string representation, as this would not reduce the CBO value and would make the code less clear and type-safe3. The number of different classes and interfaces referenced anywhere inside the class is not relevant for the CBO metric, as it only counts the classes that are coupled to the given class1. References: CBO coupling between object, Coupling Between Object classes (CBO), Cohesion and coupling of an object in OO programming

The issue is being caused by the use of @magentoDataFixture annotation, which creates a temporary data fixture that is rolled back after each test execution1. This means that the customer address created by the fixture is not persisted in the database and cannot be retrieved by subsequent tests. To fix this, the Architect should use @magentoPersistDataFixture annotation, which creates a permanent data fixture that is not rolled back after each test execution2. This way, the customer address created by the fixture will be persisted in the database and can be accessed by subsequent tests. Changing the annotation to use @magentoApiDataFixture or specifying address_id in the annotation will not solve the issue, as they are not related to the persistence of the data fixture3. References: Data fixtures, Persistent data fixtures, API-functional tests

These two options are both valid ways to manage routing for the bespoke news section and adhere to best practice. Option B leverages the existing URL rewrite functionality of Adobe Commerce, which allows creating custom URLs for any entity type and storing them in the database. This option requires creating a standard controller route for the news entity type, such as news/article/view/id/i, where i is the news article ID. Then, on saving each news article, a rewrite rule is generated that maps the internal URL to the desired SEO-friendly URL, such as news/{date}/{article_url_key}. The rewrite rule is stored in the url_rewrite table, which is used by the standard router to match and redirect requests.

Option C involves creating a custom router class that implements \Magento\Framework\App\RouterInterface and runs before the standard router in the routing process. The custom router class can match the news portion of the URL and extract the date and URL key parts from it. Then, it can look for and load a news articlethat matches those values using a model or repository class. If a match is found, it can set the request parameters accordingly and dispatch the request to a controller action that renders the news article page.

EAV attribute import uses the REPLACE statement, which deletes and inserts a new row with the same primary key value. This causes the auto-increment column to increase by one for each row, even if the row already exists. If the auto-increment column reaches its maximum value, which is 2147483647 for a signed INT, then any further REPLACE statement will fail with an integrity constraint violation error. References:

• Option A is correct because updating the session host value to a shared Redis instance in the “app/etc/env.php” file will allow the session to be saved properly and prevent users from being redirected to the sign-in page after logging in. Redis is a fast and reliable in-memory data store that can be used for session storage in Magento 2. By using a shared Redis instance, the session data can be accessed by any of the backend web servers behind the load balancer, regardless of which server handled the initial request. This ensures that the user’s session is maintained and consistent across different servers1.
• Option B is incorrect because increasing the session size with the command config:set system/security/max_session_size_admin will not solve the issue of session not being saved properly. This command only affects the admin session size limit, not the customer session size limit. Moreover, this command does not address the root causeof the issue, which is that the session data is not shared among the backend web servers2.
• Option C is incorrect because utilizing the Remote Storage module to synchronize sessions between the servers is not a viable solution for this issue. The Remote Storage module is a feature of Magento Commerce Cloud that allows storing media files and other static content on a remote storage service such as AWS S3 or Azure Blob Storage. This module does not support synchronizing sessions between servers, as sessions are dynamic and transient data that need to be stored in a fast and accessible data store such as Redis3.

According to the Adobe Commerce documentation, to create a new xml configuration file, the Architect needs to create a Data class and a Reader class for the custom module. The Data class is responsible for storing and retrieving the configuration data from the cache or the Reader class. The Data class should implement the “\Magento\Framework\Config\Data” interface or extend the “\Magento\Framework\Config\Data” class. The Reader class is responsible for reading and validating the xml configuration files from the file system. The Reader class should implement the '\Magento\Framework\Config\Reader\Filesystem" interface or extend the '\Magento\Framework\Config\Reader\Filesystem" class. The Architect also needs to declare the Data class and the Reader class in the di.xml file of the custom module, and specify the name of the xml configuration file, the converter class, and the schema locator class for the Reader class.

According to the Adobe Commerce documentation, the Source Selection Interface is the main interface for implementing custom source selection algorithms. The interface defines a method called execute(), which takes a list of items to be shipped and a stock ID as parameters, and returns a SourceSelectionResultInterface object, which contains the recommended sources and quantities for each item. The Architect can create a new class that implements this interface and provides the logic for finding the lowest-cost warehouse that is open for each item. The Architect can then register the new class as an option for the source selection algorithm in the di.xml file of the custom module.

According to the Adobe Commerce documentation, OAuth-based authentication is the recommended method for integrations that need access to system resources, such as orders, customers, products, etc. OAuth-based authentication allows the merchant to control the access level and scope of the integration, as well as to revoke the access at any time using the admin panel. OAuth-based authentication also requires an OAuth handshake between the integration and the Adobe Commerce system during activation, which ensures a secure exchange of tokens and keys. The third-party system should follow the OAuth protocol to obtain and refresh the access token, which will be used as the Bearer Token to authorize the REST API calls.

This solution ensures that the new plugin will execute after all the existing plugins for the ServiceClass::getData method, and will be able to log the final result of the method execution. The afterGetData method of the new plugin will receive the result of the method as a parameter, and can use any logging mechanism to record it. The sortOrder value of the new plugin should be higher than the highest declared plugin sortOrder, so that it will run last in the sequence of plugins. The after type of plugin is preferred over the around type of plugin, because it is simpler and more efficient, and does not require calling the proceed() method.

• Option A is correct because enabling asynchronous indexing can improve the checkout performance by reducing the database load and avoiding locking issues. Asynchronous indexing allows the indexers to run in the background without affecting the frontend operations. The command bin/magento config:set dev/grid/async_indexing 1 can be used to enable this option in the production mode1.
• Option C is correct because creating a new database and splitting the sales tables can also improve the checkout performance by distributing the database load and avoiding contention. Splitting the database allows the checkout and order management operations to use a separate master database from the rest of the Magento application tables. The command bin/magento setup:db-schema:split-sales --host="" --dbname="" --username="" --password="" can be used to configure this feature2.
• Option B is incorrect because enabling asynchronous email notifications does not affect the checkout performance directly. Asynchronous email notifications allow the order confirmation emails to be sent in batches by a cron job instead of immediately after placing an order. This option can reduce the server load and improve the customer experience, but it does not impact the checkout process itself3.
• Option D is incorrect because there is no such deploy mode as siege in Magento 2. The available deploy modes are default, developer, and production. Changing the deploy mode can affect the performance, caching, and error handling of the Magento application, but it does not directly affect the checkout performance4.
• Option E is incorrect because there is no such admin panel setting as multithreaded checkout processing in Magento 2. The number of PHP threads used for checkout is determined by the web server configuration and the PHP-FPM settings, not by the Magento application settings. Increasing the number of PHP threads may improve thecheckout performance, but it also requires more server resources and may cause other issues5.

The issue here is that the gather_reporting_data job is running for a long time and blocking the sitemap_generate job from running. The solution is to create a new cron group for the reporting job and specify i so that the reporting job runs in a separate process and does not block the sitemap_generate job. References: https://experienceleague.adobe.com/docs/commerce-cloud-service/user-guide/architecture/starter-architecture.html?lang=en#cron-groups-and-processes

The issue here is that the Approval Rules tab does not appear in the Company section in the Customer Account Menu when the Architect logs in using the Company Administrator account. This is because the Approval Rules feature requires two settings to be enabled: the Purchase Orders feature and the Purchase Order payment method. The solution is to set ‘Enable Purchase Orders’ in the B2B Admin to TRUE and make sure that the ‘Purchase Order’ payment method is active. This will allow the Architect to create and manage Approval Rules for orders.

The issue is that the export file is not shown in the list of generated files. This is because the export path is not set correctly. The solution is to execute the command config:set export/customr/files_directory /var/releases/{release_nunber} to set the new export path. This will ensure that the export file is saved in the correct directory and can be accessed from the Admin Panel. References: https://experienceleague.adobe.com/docs/commerce-cloud-service/user-guide/develop/deploy/staging-production.html?lang=en#deploy-to-staging-and-production 1
