   A technical architect implements a workaround for a Salesforce governor limit issue by moving a process to a batch job. After the first batch run, the architect reviews the logs and finds that the batch job is failing intermittently due to a different limit. What should the architect do?

   • AEscalate the issue to Salesforce support to request a limit increase.
   • BRe-run the batch job multiple times until it succeeds, since the failures are intermittent.
   • CAnalyze the failure logs to identify the specific limit being hit, then adjust the batch job's scope or design.
   • DAbandon the batch job and revert to the original process, even if it hits the original limit.

   A technical architect is leading a Salesforce project for a retail client. During a performance test, the architect discovers that a critical batch process is causing timeouts and impacting other processes. The architect has identified a fix that will require a code change and a brief maintenance window. The client's operations team is resistant to any downtime during business hours. What should the architect do?

   • ASchedule the maintenance window during off-hours without consulting the operations team, since it is necessary.
   • BEscalate the issue to the project sponsor and demand that the operations team accept the maintenance window.
   • CProceed with the fix without a maintenance window, accepting the risk of timeouts during the deployment.
   • DExplain the impact of the timeouts to the operations team and propose the maintenance window as a solution, while exploring alternatives.

   During user acceptance testing (UAT), the technical architect notices that a custom Lightning component is causing a browser console error in a specific version of Chrome. The error does not occur in other browsers. The UAT is scheduled to complete in two days. What should the architect do first?

   • AImmediately escalate to the Salesforce support team to file a bug report.
   • BRecommend that all UAT testers use a different browser to avoid the error.
   • CReproduce the error, assess its impact on the component's functionality, and determine if a workaround is needed.
   • DIgnore the error because it only affects one browser version and is likely a minor issue.
