SNOW-CAD Core Application Development Practice Question
Which TWO statements about update sets are correct? (Choose two.)
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
✓
Update sets must be explicitly exported and then imported into the target instance.
The correct answers are B and D. Update sets are used to move customizations between instances. They must be explicitly exported from a source instance and imported into a target instance (B). They can capture changes to system properties (D). Option A is incorrect because update sets capture ACL records as a whole, not individual condition scripts separately. Option C is incorrect because update sets do not capture out-of-box records; they only capture changes made to customizations. Option E is incorrect because update sets move changes (configurations), not data records like users.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Update sets capture changes to ACLs, but each condition script is captured as a separate record.
Why it's wrong here
ACLs are captured as a whole record, not per condition script.
- ✓
Update sets must be explicitly exported and then imported into the target instance.
Why this is correct
Retrieved or exported from the source instance and committed in the target.
- ✗
Update sets capture all changes made to an instance, including out-of-box records.
Why it's wrong here
Update sets are designed for customizations, not all changes.
- ✓
Update sets can contain changes to system properties.
Why this is correct
System properties are included in update sets if they are customized.
- ✗
Update sets are used to move data, such as user records, between instances.
Why it's wrong here
Update sets move configuration and application changes, not data.
