Salesforce Certified Data Cloud Consultant — Question 5

A client wants to bring in loyalty data from a custom object in Salesforce CRM that contains a point balance for accrued hotel points and airline points within the same record. The client wants to split these point systems into two separate records for better tracking and processing.
What should a consultant recommend in this scenario?

Answer options

• A. Use batch transforms to create a second data lake object.
• B. Create a junction object in Salesforce CRM and modify the ingestion strategy.
• C. Clone the data source object.
• D. Create a data kit from the data lake object and deploy it to the same Data Cloud org.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because using batch transforms allows for the creation of an additional data lake object, which is necessary to separate the point systems effectively. Options B and C do not address the requirement of splitting the data into two distinct records, while D does not fulfill the need for separation of the point balances.
