UX Designer Certification Question

I am a 2x Salesforce certified admin/business analyst with 20 plus years experience in systems (mostly in a business analyst type of role).  I am not a developer nor do I wish to become one.  I am struggling with the SLDS aspect of the certification exam because it is highly technical and while I understand what it is doing and what it is used for, most of it is beyond my abilities (or desires) to actually DO.

 

Is anyone aware of a Trail or Module (or something) that will help me better understand what I need to prepare for in the UX Designer exam? I am very comfortable with UI/UX design and understand declarative configuration pretty well, but SLDS is killing me.  In the trails I have taken, I almost never answer the all quiz questions correctly, so I am obviously missing something to help me put this all together.

 

Any direction from the community would be highly appreciated!

FSC exam studing resources

Hi everyone,

 

Anyone can provide any study material to get prepared for the FSC exam please??

 

I am very frustrated right now, today is the second time a try the FSC exam and failed....paying it from my own pocket...

 

I did everything and for months...I did the trailheads, I did the Partners material (which I find very difficult to study from and take notes as many modules are videos...)

 

Then I printed all the trailhead modules (300 pages) and studied in paper and makeng resumes and highlighting...

 

But when it comes the exam I find very confusing choices to pick up from in the answers...

 

So right now I am very pissed off and frustrated because I would like to go through and pass to another stage/certification...

 

So If anyone can give me a hand with the studing material or mock questions, etc...I would appreciate.

 

Txs

Esteban

     I recently passed my Financial Services Cloud Exam, and I couldn't have done it without Pass4surexams! Their study materials were comprehensive, well-organized, and incredibly helpful. The practice exams mimicked the real test so closely that I felt completely prepared on exam day

Hi developers!! I am trying to log API request logs directly into a PostgreSQL database using only log4j2.xml configuration in my Mule 4 application.

my log4j2.xml 

 Mule application is deployed successfully, and API is responding in Postman. but no logs in Postgres. 

Errors in the console:

  • ERROR Error processing element ConnectionSource ([JDBC: null]): CLASS_NOT_FOUND
  •  ERROR Null object returned for JDBC in Appenders.

     Hi Praveen, it looks like the error is related to the JDBC connection setup in your log4j2.xml. Specifically, this part of the error stands out:  

    CLASS_NOT_FOUND 

    field 'connectionSource' has invalid value 'null' 

    This usually means that Log4j2 can't find the PostgreSQL JDBC driver at runtime.

    Here are a few things to check:

    1. PostgreSQL Driver JAR 

      Make sure you’ve included the PostgreSQL JDBC driver (like postgresql-42.x.x.jar) in your Mule application’s classpath. If you’re using Maven, you can add this dependency:

    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.postgresql</groupId>
        <artifactId>postgresql</artifactId>
        <version>42.2.27</version> <!-- or any stable version -->
    </dependency>
    If you're not using Maven, you’ll need to manually place the JAR file in the appropriate lib folder (e.g., src/main/resources/lib or where Mule expects external JARs).
    <Property name="driverClassName">org.postgresql.Driver</Property>
    Check driver class name
    In your config, you have:
    <Property name="driverClassName">org.postgresql.Driver</Property>
    This is correct, but again, it only works if the driver JAR is present.
    Verify connection string
    Double-check that the connection string works independently (e.g., through a tool like DBeaver or any JDBC client) to rule out database connectivity issues.
    Mule deployment packaging
    If your app runs fine but the logs don’t appear in the DB, it's likely the driver JAR is missing from the deployment. When packaging the app (e.g., as a Mule deployable archive), make sure the JDBC driver is included in the final artifact.

Challenge no. 3 Error: We can’t find the 'Executive Performance and AI Readiness' dashboard with the proper home page configuration

Hi Team, 

I am completely stuck on Challenge no. 3 in "Dashboard Insights for Agentforce readiness Superbadge" challenge. 

Link below: 

https://trailhead.salesforce.com/content/learn/superbadges/dashboard_insights_for_agentforce_readiness_superbadge_unit

 

 

I am getting the below error: 

"We can’t find the 'Executive Performance and AI Readiness' dashboard with the proper home page configuration" 

 

Not sure if this is an issue with Lighting App builder OR am I doing something wrong. 

I've configured a Home page app named "Agentforce Readiness" as instructed but still having an issue. 

I've also Activated the App choosing the "App & Profile" setting then adding Standard User and System Admin but doesn't seem to have resolved the issue (snapshot attached) 

 

Can someone assist please?

    I am facing the same issue, and the resolution steps provided did not help, as the error message is still exactly same. So not sure if i am still facing the same problem, or made some progress since the beginning.

I am stuck in the challenge 3 of this new superbadge. 

 

Here the details of the challenge: 

---------- 

Manage Dashboard Access and Security

Implement sharing and access to the Executive Performance and AI Readiness dashboard. 

-----------

Getting the following error: 

-------------- 

Challenge Not yet complete... here's what's wrong: 

We can’t find the 'Executive Performance and AI Readiness' dashboard with the proper viewer configuration. 

------------- 

In my opinion I have modified the dashboard as requested. 

Attached how it looks. 

 

Has anyone experienced this error? 

If so, how did you design the dashboard? 

 

Thanks in advance.

    I am also facing exact same issue " Challenge Not yet complete... here's what's wrong: 

    We can’t find the 'Agentforce Readiness' dashboard folder or it isn't configured properly. " 

    I have tried all the resolution steps mentioned here and on other links (

    https://trailhead.salesforce.com/trailblazer-community/feed/0D5KX00000PZDOP0A5) and https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=commerce.commerce_marketplace_change_the_running_user_for_dashboards.htm&type=5

    . Still not able to get it through.  

    Apparently more ppl are facing errors than learning. Feels like something is not right with either the instruction mentioned in the superbadge, or the error prompt message provided during the "Check Challenge" process.
