Salesforce Certified Data Architect — Question 8

Universal Containers needs to load a large volume of leads into Salesforce on a weekly basis. During this process the validation rules are disabled.
What should a data architect recommend to ensure data quality is maintained in Salesforce?

Answer options

• A. Allow validation rules to be activated during the load of leads into Salesforce.
• B. Develop a custom Batch Apex process to improve quality once the load is completed.
• C. Activate validation rules once the leads are loaded into Salesforce to maintain quality.
• D. Ensure the lead data is preprocessed for quality before loading into Salesforce.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because preprocessing the lead data for quality ensures that only accurate and valid data is imported into Salesforce. Allowing validation rules during the load (A) or activating them afterward (C) does not address the quality of the data being loaded. Developing a custom Batch Apex process (B) can help but is not as effective as ensuring quality beforehand.
