A company is deploying a new Salesforce app that includes custom objects and a large volume of reference data (e.g., product codes). They need to deploy the metadata and the data together to a new sandbox for testing. Which approach should they use?

Use Data Loader to import data first, then deploy metadata

Deploy metadata via change sets, then import data using Data Loader

Use the Metadata API to deploy data and metadata simultaneously

Use a managed package to include both metadata and data

When should a validation-only deployment be run?

During data migration to load data

After a deployment to roll back changes

Before a production deployment to check for errors

A developer is using Salesforce CLI to deploy a set of Apex classes and custom objects from a local directory to a sandbox. The deployment fails because a custom field referenced by one of the Apex classes is missing in the target org. What is the most efficient way to resolve this issue?

Remove the Apex class that references the missing field

Add the missing custom field to the source directory and redeploy

Use the --ignorewarnings flag to skip the error

Deploy the Apex classes first, then the custom objects

What is the purpose of running a validation-only deployment?

To deploy changes without affecting the target org

To delete metadata from the target org

To deploy changes to multiple orgs simultaneously

To roll back a previous deployment

During a change set deployment to production, an Apex test fails, and the deployment is rolled back automatically. The admin needs to identify the cause of the failure and retry the deployment. What should the admin do first?

Review the deployment status and error logs in the change set

Re-upload the change set from the sandbox

Check the sandbox for uncommitted changes

Run a validation-only deployment to see if the error is intermittent
