Question 2

During the data modeling phase in Data Cloud, a consultant notices that two distinct Data Source Objects need to map to the same Individual Data Model Object, but the primary key formats differ (UUID vs. email hash). How should the consultant resolve this mapping challenge?

Accepted Answer

Map both Data Source Objects to the Individual DMO and assign the respective source primary keys to the Source Id field.. Data Cloud data model mapping allows multiple Data Source Objects to map into a single DMO, provided appropriate primary keys and foreign keys are designated, and Identity Resolution handles merging downstream.

Answer

Use Calculated Insights to overwrite the primary key values.

Answer

Create a custom DMO for each source object and merge them using an external ETL tool.

Answer

Transform the keys using an Apex trigger before ingestion.

Question 3

An administrator needs to ingest transactional log files from an Amazon S3 bucket into Data Cloud on a recurring schedule. Which setup steps are required to establish this connection?

Accepted Answer

Configure an Amazon S3 Cloud File Storage source connector and create a Data Stream.. Connecting Amazon S3 to Data Cloud requires configuring a Cloud File Storage connector with the appropriate authentication credentials, bucket details, and file format definitions.

Answer

Enable Change Data Capture on the S3 bucket properties.

Answer

Write an inbound REST API script to push S3 files row-by-row.

Answer

Set up Marketing Cloud Connect to proxy the S3 files.

Question 4

An administrator has set up identity resolution with match rules based on Email and Phone Number. After running the ruleset, they notice that records with different spelling variations of names were not merged despite sharing the same email. What is the correct way to incorporate name matching into the identity resolution process?

Accepted Answer

Add a fuzzy match rule for Party Identification or Name to the existing Identity Resolution ruleset.. Identity Resolution rulesets support multiple match rules, including fuzzy match rules for names, which can be added to the ruleset alongside exact match rules.

Answer

Export the data to Tableau, merge the profiles, and re-import via API.

Answer

Modify the Data Model Object primary key to be a composite name key.

Answer

Write an Apex trigger to normalize names prior to data stream ingestion.

Question 5
