Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Load parent records (Accounts) before child records (Contacts and Opportunities).
Why this is correct
Child records require parent IDs, so parents must be loaded first.
- ✓
Use External IDs to map relationships between related objects during upsert operations.
Why this is correct
External IDs simplify relating parent and child records without needing to export and map internal Salesforce IDs.
- ✓
Perform a test migration in a full or partial sandbox environment first.
Why this is correct
Testing in a sandbox helps identify mapping errors, validation issues, and data truncation before production.
- ✗
Import all objects in a single flat CSV file simultaneously.
Why it's wrong here
Flat file imports across related objects fail because relational dependencies cannot be resolved simultaneously.
- ✗
Leave all triggers, validation rules, and workflows enabled during the entire migration.
Why it's wrong here
Automation should be disabled during bulk loads to improve performance and avoid false errors.
