Question # 58
A client wants to bring in loyalty data from a custom object in Salesforce CRM that contains a point balance for accrued hotel points and airline points within the same record. The client wants to split these point systems into two separate records for better tracking and processing. What should a consultant recommend in this scenario?
A. Clone the data source object. B. Use batch transforms to create a second data lake object. C. Create a junction object in Salesforce CRM and modify the ingestion strategy. D. Create a data kit from the data lake object and deploy it to the same Data Cloud org.
Answer: B Explanation: Batch transforms are a feature that allows creating new data lake objectsbased on existing data lake objects and applying transformations on them. This can beuseful for splitting, merging, or reshaping data to fit the data model or businessrequirements. In this case, the consultant can use batch transforms to create a second data lake object that contains only the airline points from the original loyalty data object.The original object can be modified to contain only the hotel points. This way, the client canhave two separate records for each point system and track and process themaccordingly. References: Batch Transforms, Create a Batch Transform
Question # 59
Which information is provided in a .csv file when activating to Amazon S3?
A. An audit log showing the user who activated the segment and when it was activated B. The activated data payload C. The metadata regarding the segment definition D. The manifest of origin sources within Data Cloud
Answer: B Explanation: When activating to Amazon S3, the information that is provided in a .csv fileis the activated data payload. The activated data payload is the data that is sent from DataCloud to theactivation target, which in this case is an Amazon S3 bucket1. The activateddata payload contains the attributes and values of the individuals or entities that areincluded in the segment that is being activated2. The activated data payload can be usedfor various purposes, such as marketing, sales, service, or analytics3. The other optionsare incorrect because they are not provided in a .csv file when activating to AmazonS3. Option A is incorrect because an audit log is not provided in a .csv file, but it can beviewed in the Data Cloud UI under the Activation History tab4. Option C is incorrectbecause the metadata regarding the segment definition is not provided in a .csv file, but itcan be viewed in the Data Cloud UI under the Segmentation tab5. Option D is incorrectbecause the manifest of origin sources within Data Cloud is not provided in a .csv file, but itcan be viewed in the Data Cloud UI under the Data Sources tab.

Question # 60
Cumulus Financial uses Service Cloud as its CRM and stores mobile phone, home phone, and work phone as three separate fields for its customers on the Contact record. The company plans to use Data Cloud and ingest the Contact object via the CRM Connector. What is the most efficient approach that a consultant should take when ingesting this data to ensure all the different phone numbers are properly mapped and available for use in activation?
A. Ingest the Contact object and map the Work Phone, Mobile Phone, and Home Phone totheContact Point Phone data map object from the Contact data stream. B. Ingest the Contact object and use streaming transforms to normalize the phonenumbers fromthe Contact data stream into a separate Phone data lake object (DLO) that contains threerows,and then map this new DLO to the Contact Point Phone data map object. C. Ingest the Contact object and then create a calculated insight to normalize the phonenumbers,and then map to the Contact Point Phone data map object. D. Ingest the Contact object and create formula fields in the Contact data stream on thephonenumbers, and then map to the Contact Point Phone data map object.
Answer: B Explanation: The most efficient approach that a consultant should take when ingesting thisdata to ensure all the different phone numbers are properly mapped and available for usein activation is B. Ingest the Contact object and use streaming transforms to normalize thephone numbers from the Contact data stream into a separate Phone data lake object(DLO) that contains three rows, and then map this new DLO to the Contact Point Phonedata map object. This approach allows the consultant to use the streaming transformsfeature of Data Cloud, which enables data manipulation and transformation at the time ofingestion, without requiring any additional processing or storage. Streaming transforms canbe used to normalize the phone numbers from the Contact data stream, such as removingspaces, dashes, or parentheses, and adding country codes if needed. The normalizedphone numbers can then be stored in a separate Phone DLO, which can have one row foreach phone number type (work, home, mobile). The Phone DLO can then be mapped tothe Contact Point Phone data map object, which is a standard object that represents aphone number associated with a contact point. This way, the consultant can ensure that allthe phone numbers are available for activation, such as sending SMS messages or makingcalls to the customers.The other options are not as efficient as option B. Option A is incorrect because it does notnormalize the phone numbers, which may cause issues with activation or identityresolution. Option C is incorrect because it requires creating a calculated insight, which isan additional step that consumes more resources and time than streamingtransforms.Option D is incorrect because it requires creating formula fields in the Contact data stream,which may not be supported by the CRM Connector or may cause conflicts with theexisting fields in the Contact object.
