QuestionQ112

Understanding Packages

A Salesforce contractor has created an application for Universal Containers (UC). The contractor must deploy it multiple times from the contractor’s own Salesforce environments to UC’s Salesforce environments. Ultimately, UC retains complete control of the application’s code, including its intellectual property.

What is the recommended mechanism for distributing the application?

  • A Managed Package
  • B Eclipse IDE
  • C Unmanaged Package
  • D Change sets
Explanation

An unmanaged package delivers an independent, editable copy of the application components to the receiving organization. It is appropriate when Universal Containers must own and fully control the code and intellectual property. Managed packages instead provide publisher intellectual-property protection and publisher-controlled upgrade behavior.
