Data 360 Consultant Setup And Administration Practice Question
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?
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
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 analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Restart the Data Cloud background worker processes via Setup.
Why it's wrong here
Administrators cannot manually restart Data Cloud background worker processes.
- ✓
Verify that the file path prefix and naming convention in the stream configuration match the actual files in the S3 bucket.
Why this is correct
If path prefixes or file patterns do not match existing files, the connector finds nothing to ingest and completes with zero processed rows.
- ✗
Verify that the AWS IAM user has AdministratorAccess across the entire AWS account.
Why it's wrong here
AdministratorAccess is overly broad and unnecessary; specific read/list permissions are sufficient.
- ✗
Check if the Salesforce core org has reached its daily API storage limit.
Why it's wrong here
S3 ingestion does not consume core Salesforce API limits in the same manner as SOAP/REST API calls.
