Salesforce Certified Data Architect — Question 5

Universal Containers has a legacy client server app that has a relational database that needs to be migrated to Salesforce.
What are the three key actions that should be done when data modeling in Salesforce? (Choose three.)

Answer options

• A. Work with legacy application owner to analyze the legacy data model.
• B. Map legacy data to Salesforce objects.
• C. Implement the legacy data model within Salesforce using custom fields.
• D. Identify data elements to be persisted in Salesforce.
• E. Map legacy data to custom metadata types.

Correct answer: A, B, D

Explanation

The correct actions involve collaborating with the legacy application owner to understand the existing data model (A), mapping the legacy data to the appropriate Salesforce objects (B), and identifying which data elements should be stored in Salesforce (D). Option C is incorrect because implementing the legacy data model using custom fields could lead to unnecessary complexity, and option E is not relevant as it pertains to custom metadata types rather than standard data mapping.
