SNOW-CAD Integrating and managing application data Practice Question
A developer is troubleshooting an integration where an inbound SOAP message fails to insert a record into the 'change_request' table. The SOAP message is well-formed and the user has the 'change_manager' role. The ACL for the 'change_request' table allows write to 'admin' and 'change_manager'. What is the most likely cause?

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
✓
The SOAP message is missing a mandatory field.
The most likely cause is that the SOAP message is missing a mandatory field, causing the insert to fail validation. The SOAP web service processes the request and if a required field is omitted, the insert is rejected.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
The SOAP message is missing a mandatory field.
Why this is correct
Correct: Missing mandatory fields cause the insert to fail.
- ✗
The 'change_request' table is locked for data imports.
Why it's wrong here
Table locking is not a common reason; it's more likely a validation issue.
- ✗
The user's role is not recognized when using SOAP web services.
Why it's wrong here
The user's role is recognized; ACLs are evaluated correctly.
- ✗
The SOAP message uses a different namespace.
Why it's wrong here
A namespace mismatch would cause a parsing error, not a failure to insert.
