Salesforce Updated Salesforce-Data-Cloud Exam Questions and Answers by ralphie

 To address this new use case, the consultant should map the primary key from the two systems to Party Identification, using CRM ID as the identification name for both, and create a matching rule based on party identification that matches on CRM ID as the party identification name. This way, the consultant can ensure that the CRM Contacts and Marketing Contacts are matched based on their CRM ID, which is a unique identifier for each individual. By using Party Identification, the consultant can also leverage the benefits of this attribute, such as being able to match across different entities and sources, and being able to handle multiple values for the same individual. The other options are incorrect because they either do not use the CRM ID as the primary key, or they do not use Party Identification as the attribute type. References: Configure Identity Resolution Rulesets, Identity Resolution Match Rules, Data Cloud Identity Resolution Ruleset, Data Cloud Identity Resolution Config Input

When ingesting data from an Amazon S3 bucket, the consultant should configure the following options:

The refresh mode should be set to “Upsert”, which means that new and updated records will be added or updated in Data Cloud, while existing records will be preserved. This ensures that the data is always up to date and consistent with the source.

The filename should contain a wildcard to accommodate the timestamp, which means that the file name pattern should include a variable part that matches the timestamp format. For example, if the file name is store_transactions_2023-12-18.csv, the wildcard could be store_transactions_*.csv. This ensures that the ingestion process can identify and process the correct file every day.

The other options are not necessary or relevant for this scenario:

Deletion of old files is a feature of the Amazon S3 bucket, not the Data Cloud ingestion process. Data Cloud does not delete any files from the source, nor does it require the source files to be deleted after ingestion.

Full Refresh is a refresh mode that deletes all existing records in Data Cloud and replaces them with the records from the source file. This is not suitable for this scenario, as it would result in data loss and inconsistency, especially if the source file only contains the summary of the last 24 hours of transactions. References: Ingest Data from Amazon S3, Refresh Modes

A segment is a subset of individuals who meet certain criteria based on their attributes and behaviors. A consultant can use different types of criteria when building a segment in Data Cloud, such as:

Direct attributes: These are attributes that describe the characteristics of an individual, such as name, email, gender, age, etc. These attributes are stored in the Profile data model object (DMO) and can be used to filter individuals based on their profile data.

Calculated Insights: These are insights that perform calculations on data in a data space and store the results in a data extension. These insights can be used to segment individuals based on metrics or scores derived from their data, such as customer lifetime value, churn risk, loyalty tier, etc.

Related attributes: These are attributes that describe the relationships of an individual with other DMOs, such as Email, Engagement, Order, Product, etc. These attributes can be used to segment individuals based on their interactions or transactions with different entities, such as email opens, clicks, purchases, etc.

The other two options are not valid criteria for building a segment in Data Cloud. Data stream attributes are attributes that describe the streaming data that is ingested into Data Cloud from various sources, such as Marketing Cloud, Commerce Cloud, Service Cloud, etc. These attributes are not directly available for segmentation, but they can be transformed and stored in data extensions using streaming data transforms. Streaming insights are insights that analyze streaming data in real time and trigger actions based on predefined conditions. These insights are not used for segmentation, but for activation and personalization. References: Create a Segment in Data Cloud, Use Insights in Data Cloud, Data Cloud Data Model

To validate the data on a unified profile, the consultant can use the following features:

Identity Resolution: This feature allows the consultant to view and edit the identity resolution rulesets that determine how individuals are unified from different data sources1.

Data Explorer: This feature allows the consultant to browse and filter the unified profiles and view their attributes, segments, and activities2.

Profile Explorer: This feature allows the consultant to drill down into a specific unified profile and view its details, such as source records, identity graph, calculated insights, and data actions3. References:
