SNOW-CSA Reporting, SLA and Imports Practice Question
Exhibit
Refer to the exhibit. Error log: 2024-03-15 14:32:10 (source) Import Set: sys_import_set_2c9a3b1e6f7a8d 2024-03-15 14:32:10 Transform: sys_transform_map_8d7e6f5a4b3c2d 2024-03-15 14:32:10 Target table: incident 2024-03-15 14:32:10 Field mapping: short_description <- co-paste(short_description, ' - ', caller_id) 2024-03-15 14:32:10 Error: Field 'caller_id' not found in source table 2024-03-15 14:32:10 Transform aborted.
A transform map for importing incidents uses a co-paste field mapping for 'short_description' that references the source field 'caller_id'. The import fails with the error shown. What is the most likely cause?
⚠ Common exam trap
A common mix-up: candidates confuse 'source field' (from the import set) with 'target field' (on the destination table), leading them to incorrectly blame the target table's schema or field permissions instead of recognizing the import set column absence.
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 import set does not contain a column named 'caller_id'
The error indicates that the transform map is trying to reference a source field named 'caller_id' via a co-paste field mapping, but the import set table does not contain a column with that name. Co-paste mappings combine source fields from the import set row, so if 'caller_id' is missing from the import set columns, the transform engine cannot find the data and fails. Option B correctly identifies that the import set lacks the required column.
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 'caller_id' field in the target table is read-only
Why it's wrong here
Read-only fields would cause a different error.
- ✓
The import set does not contain a column named 'caller_id'
Why this is correct
The error indicates the source table lacks the field.
- ✗
The target table 'incident' does not have a 'caller_id' field
Why it's wrong here
The error references 'source table', not target.
- ✗
The co-paste function cannot combine more than two fields
Why it's wrong here
Co-paste can combine multiple fields.
