SNOW-CAD Working with Data Practice Question
When using an Import Set, the developer notices that some records are not being inserted even though no errors appear. The transform map has a condition script. What is the most likely cause?
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
✓
The condition script returns false for those records.
The condition script in the transform map runs for each record. If it returns false, the record is skipped without any error. This explains why some records are not inserted despite no errors. Option A (data source filter) could also filter records, but the question specifically mentions a condition script, making D the most direct cause. Option B (incorrect field mappings) would typically result in mapping errors, not silent failure. Option C (business rule on target table) would usually generate errors or cause a rollback, not silent omission.
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 data source has a filter that excludes those records.
Why it's wrong here
A filter would prevent records from reaching the transform map, but no errors would appear.
- ✗
The field mappings are incorrect for those records.
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect mappings would cause errors or missing data, not silent skip.
- ✗
A business rule on the target table rejects the records silently.
Why it's wrong here
Business rules would likely produce error messages.
- ✓
The condition script returns false for those records.
Why this is correct
Condition scripts control processing; if false, the record is skipped.
