Salesforce Exam Data Architect Topic 3 Question 59 Discussion

Actual exam question for Salesforce's Data Architect exam

Question #: 59
Topic #: 3

Cloud Kicks needs to purge detailed transactional records from Salesforce. The data should be aggregated at a summary level and available in Salesforce.

What are two automated approaches to fulfill this goal? (Choose two.)

AThird-party Integration Tool (ETL)

BSchedulable Batch Apex

CThird-party Business Intelligence system

DApex Triggers

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A, B

Both A and B are automated approaches to purge detailed transactional records from Salesforce and aggregate them at a summary level1. You can use a third-party integration tool (ETL) or schedulable batch Apex to perform these tasks. Option C is not correct because a third-party business intelligence system does not purge data from Salesforce, but only analyzes it. Option D is not correct because Apex triggers are not automated, but execute when a record is inserted, updated, deleted, or undeleted.

Ah, the age-old question: how to clean up your Salesforce data without getting buried in it? I say, let the robots handle it - Batch Apex and ETL for the win!

I'm feeling a bit triggered by the mention of Apex Triggers. Let's keep this cloud-based and automated, folks. Batch Apex and ETL all the way!

Apex Triggers can be a bit manual and not as efficient as using Batch Apex and ETL.

Third-party BI system? Really? Why would you want to complicate things? Just keep it in-house with Salesforce - Batch Apex and ETL, that's the ticket!
