Answer

Setup > Identity > Match Rules

Question 2

Which license type must be provisioned in Salesforce to enable the use of Data Cloud features?

Accepted Answer

Data Cloud Tenant License and Permission Set Licenses. Data Cloud requires specific tenant provisioning and base licenses before any users can access the platform.

Answer

Marketing Cloud Engagement Enterprise License

Answer

Heroku Enterprise Database License

Answer

Salesforce Platform Enterprise License only

Question 3

An administrator is setting up an AWS S3 data stream and receives an error indicating that Salesforce Data Cloud cannot assume the IAM role provided. What is the most likely misconfiguration in AWS?

Accepted Answer

The IAM trust policy (assume role policy) does not correctly specify the Salesforce AWS account ID and external ID.. Cross-account access between Salesforce Data Cloud and AWS S3 requires configuring an IAM role with a trust relationship (assume role policy) that specifies Salesforce's AWS account ID and external ID.

Answer

The Salesforce Data Cloud connector user password has expired in AWS IAM.

Answer

The S3 bucket policy lacks a public read statement for all IP addresses.

Answer

The AWS S3 bucket is encrypted using AES-128 instead of AES-256.

Question 4

An administrator needs to ingest data from an external transactional system using the Ingestion API. The API requests are failing with an HTTP 401 Unauthorized error. What is the most likely cause?

Accepted Answer

The OAuth bearer token is missing, expired, or generated using incorrect Connected App scopes.. HTTP 401 Unauthorized is an authentication failure, meaning the request never presented valid credentials. The Ingestion API requires an OAuth 2.0 bearer token obtained via a Connected App with the correct scopes (e.g., api, cdp_ingest_api). If the token is absent, expired, or was minted with insufficient/wrong scopes, the API gateway rejects the call with 401 before any payload or data-model processing occurs.

Answer

The Ingestion API stream is not assigned to an active Data Space.

Answer

The Ingestion API payload exceeds the maximum batch size of 50 megabytes.

Answer

The target Data Model Object primary key contains duplicate values.

Question 5

An administrator has created a custom Data Source Object (DSO) and mapped it to a standard Data Model Object (DMO). However, the data is not populating into the DMO. What diagnostic step should the administrator take first in Data Manager?

Accepted Answer

Verify the data stream job status and check for mapping errors or failed record counts in Data Manager.. Checking the Data Stream run history and status in Data Manager is the primary step to ensure data flowed from the DSO to the DMO successfully.

Answer

Run an execute anonymous Apex script to force sync the DMO.

Answer

Restart the core Salesforce CRM instance to flush the cache.

Answer

Delete and recreate the Data Space.

Question 6

An administrator is setting up a new Salesforce CRM data stream and wants to filter out inactive contacts during the ingestion process to save storage. Where can the administrator configure data filtering?

Accepted Answer

Apply filter criteria during the Data Stream creation wizard under the filter step.. Data 360 (Data Cloud) allows filtering at the data stream level during the ingestion setup wizard, where you can define filter criteria to exclude records such as inactive contacts before they are stored. This reduces storage and processing by preventing unwanted records from entering the data model. The filter step is part of the Data Stream creation flow, making option C the correct configuration point.

Answer

Create a Sharing Rule in CRM to block inactive contacts from syncing.

Answer

Write an Apex trigger on the Data Model Object after ingestion.

Answer

Configure a validation rule in Salesforce CRM Setup.

Question 7

An administrator has provisioned Data Cloud in a Sandbox org for testing. After refreshing the Sandbox, the administrator notices that the Data Cloud connection is broken and data streams are failing. What is the expected behavior of Data Cloud in Salesforce Sandboxes?

Accepted Answer

Data Cloud is not provisioned by default in refreshed sandboxes and requires reprovisioning or re-establishing connections.. Data Cloud is not fully supported or automatically preserved across standard sandbox refreshes in the same manner as core CRM configuration, often requiring reprovisioning or special handling.

Answer

Data Cloud configuration is fully preserved and requires no manual intervention after a sandbox refresh.

Answer

Data Cloud data streams automatically switch to mock test data after a sandbox refresh.

Answer

Sandbox refreshes automatically clone all data lakes and S3 buckets linked to Data Cloud.

Question 8

An administrator has set up a data stream from a custom AWS S3 bucket. The data stream runs, but zero rows are processed and no error is thrown. What configuration check should the administrator perform first?

Accepted Answer

Verify that the file path prefix and naming convention in the stream configuration match the actual files in the S3 bucket.. When an S3 stream processes zero rows without error, it typically means no files matched the specified file prefix, naming convention, or folder path in the connector settings.

Answer

Restart the Data Cloud background worker processes via Setup.

Answer

Verify that the AWS IAM user has AdministratorAccess across the entire AWS account.

Answer

Check if the Salesforce core org has reached its daily API storage limit.

Question 9

What is the purpose of assigning the 'Data Cloud Admin' permission set to an administrator?

Accepted Answer

To grant full administrative access to configure and manage all Data Cloud features and settings.. The Data Cloud Admin permission set grants full administrative control over Data Cloud features, including setup, connectors, data streams, and data spaces.

Answer

To enable Salesforce CRM platform customization like custom objects and Apex triggers.

Answer

To allow the user to approve marketing email campaigns sent from Marketing Cloud.

Answer

To manage AWS cloud infrastructure settings directly from Salesforce.

Question 10

An administrator is setting up a Salesforce CRM data stream and notices that certain custom objects created in CRM are not available to select in the CRM connector bundle wizard. What is the reason?

Accepted Answer

Custom objects must be ingested using individual custom Salesforce CRM data streams if they are not included in the standard CRM bundles.. Custom objects in CRM must have specific properties (such as being queried via API or included in change data capture / enabled for reporting/streaming) or custom objects can be added via custom data streams if not part of the standard CRM bundles.

Answer

Custom objects are automatically blocked from Data Cloud by Salesforce security baselines.

Answer

Custom objects must be converted to standard objects in Object Manager before streaming.

Answer

The administrator must first write an Apex SOAP web service to expose custom objects to Data Cloud.

Question 11

Where in Salesforce Setup can an administrator view the status of Data Cloud background jobs and queue metrics?

Accepted Answer

Data Cloud Setup > Monitoring > Background Jobs (or Data Manager monitor). Data Cloud provides monitoring tools within Data Cloud Setup and Data Manager.

Answer

Setup > Environments > Scheduled Jobs

Answer

Setup > Company Information > Job Queues

Answer

Data Cloud Setup > System Logs > Async Queue

Question 12

An administrator has configured Identity Resolution with multiple match rules (e.g., Email match and Phone match). After running the ruleset, some profiles are merged incorrectly, combining distinct individuals who share a phone number. How should the administrator adjust the configuration?

Accepted Answer

Refine the match rules or adjust rule precedence to require stronger combinations of identifiers rather than relying on a single weak identifier.. Identity resolution match rules must be carefully tuned. If rules are too broad (like matching solely on phone numbers where numbers are shared), administrators should refine the match rules or add filter conditions/precedence.

Answer

Disable Identity Resolution permanently and rely solely on Calculated Insights for deduplication.

Answer

Write an Apex trigger on the Unified Customer object to split merged profiles.

Answer

Delete the Unified Individual DMO and recreate the entire Data Cloud tenant.

Question 13

An administrator is tasked with connecting an external database to Data Cloud. The database does not support direct streaming, but can export CSV files nightly. Which setup approach should the administrator use?

Accepted Answer

Set up a Cloud Storage connector (e.g., Amazon S3) and configure a scheduled batch data stream.. Nightly CSV exports are best ingested using a Cloud Storage connector (such as Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage, or Azure Blob) where the files are dropped and pulled on a scheduled basis.

Answer

Use the Salesforce CRM connector with external object sync.

Answer

Configure a Real-Time Interaction Collector webhook.

Answer

Build a custom Marketing Cloud API integration.

Question 14

What is the primary function of the Data Cloud Setup Assistant?

Accepted Answer

To guide administrators step-by-step through provisioning, licensing, and initial connector setup.. The Data Cloud Setup Assistant guides administrators through the sequential steps required to provision and configure Data Cloud.

Answer

To provision Salesforce CRM sandboxes from production.

Answer

To automatically map all custom CRM fields to Data Model Objects without human intervention.

Answer

To automatically generate SQL code for Calculated Insights based on natural language prompts.

Question 15

An administrator needs to ingest customer service case history from a secondary Salesforce CRM org into the same Data Cloud tenant. How should the administrator accomplish this?

Accepted Answer

Configure an additional Salesforce CRM connector pointing to the secondary CRM org and set up a corresponding data stream.. Connecting multiple Salesforce CRM orgs is supported by adding multiple Salesforce CRM connectors in Data Cloud Setup, each pointing to a different CRM org.

Answer

Export cases from the secondary org via Data Loader and upload them as CSV files to Amazon S3.

Answer

Merge the secondary CRM org into the primary CRM org using Salesforce-to-Salesforce.

Answer

Use Marketing Cloud Connect to bridge the secondary CRM org into Data Cloud.
