You are creating a custom content type for legal contracts in a SharePoint 2013 farm. This content type will be used across multiple site collections. The content type must be centrally managed and updates must propagate to all sites that use it. What is the correct sequence of steps to implement this?

A developer has created a Visual Studio workflow for SharePoint 2013 that needs to call an external RESTful web service to update a line-of-business system. The service is secured and requires an API key to be passed in the HTTP header. Which workflow activity should be used to make this call?

True or False: A single JSLink file can be used to override the rendering for multiple fields within the same list view.

A SharePoint 2013 solution requires a custom claims provider to augment user claims with a 'DepartmentID' from an external Human Resources database. This augmentation must occur automatically during user login. The provider must be highly performant and should not impact the People Picker search functionality. Which two methods of the SPClaimProvider class must be implemented to fulfill ONLY these specific requirements? (Select TWO)

You are tasked with upgrading a feature in a farm solution. The new version of the feature adds a new site column to a content type that is already in use on multiple sites. You need to ensure that when the feature is upgraded, the new site column is added to the existing content type instances across all sites where the feature is active. Which XML element must be included within the Feature.xml file to handle this declarative upgrade?

A developer is writing a PowerShell script to iterate through every document in a very large document library containing over 100,000 items. A simple foreach ($item in $list.Items) loop is causing severe performance issues and memory exceptions due to the list view threshold. Which SharePoint API class should be used within the script to process all items efficiently without loading the entire collection into memory?

A project requires a new site provisioning mechanism. The business wants to offer two variations of the standard Team Site: 'Project Site A' and 'Project Site B'. Both variations should be based on the out-of-the-box Team Site definition (STS#0) but must have different additional features automatically activated upon creation. For example, 'Project Site A' needs a 'Project Tasks' list feature, and 'Project Site B' needs a 'Document Workflow' feature. The solution must be maintainable and avoid creating entirely new site definitions. What SharePoint development technique should be used?

You are creating a mail app for Outlook that will be used with SharePoint 2013. The app must only become active when the user is viewing an email that contains an 'Invoice Number' in the subject line, where the invoice number follows the format 'INV- seguito da sei cifre'. Which activation rule type should you use in the app's manifest file?

A farm solution with a feature receiver is being debugged in Visual Studio 2012. The developer sets a breakpoint in the FeatureActivated event handler. After deploying the solution, the developer navigates to Site Settings and activates the feature, but the breakpoint is never hit. The solution deployment was successful and the feature appears on the 'Manage site features' page. What is the most common reason for this debugging failure?

Case Study: Fabrikam Manufacturing

Company Background
Fabrikam is a global manufacturing company that uses SharePoint 2013 for internal collaboration and document management. They have a central corporate portal and separate site collections for each major division, such as Engineering, Operations, and Sales. The IT department is small, and they prefer solutions that minimize custom code on the SharePoint farm servers.

Current Situation
The Engineering division needs a new application to manage engineering change requests (ECRs). An ECR is initiated by an engineer, must be approved by a manager, and then reviewed by the quality assurance (QA) team. The process involves multiple steps, custom forms for data entry, and integration with an on-premises SQL Server database that tracks manufacturing parts.

Requirements

1. The solution must be deployed only to the Engineering site collection.
2. The solution must not deploy any custom DLLs to the Global Assembly Cache (GAC).
3. The approval workflow must be complex, with parallel approval steps and the ability to dynamically assign tasks.
4. The solution must be able to read data from the on-premises Parts SQL database, which is not accessible from the internet.
5. The user interface for submitting and approving ECRs must be highly customized.

Question
Given the requirements, which solution architecture is the most appropriate for the ECR application?
