Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B

Creating validation rules to check if the required attributes are entered is the best option to mandate this when customers are created in Salesforce. Validation rules allow you to specify criteria that must be met before a record can be saved. You can use validation rules to ensure that customers have a first name, last name, and email when they are created in Salesforce. This way, you can prevent incomplete or invalid data from being sent to your MDM solution.

I wonder if the data architect has ever heard of the concept of 'keeping it simple, stupid'. Option C seems like the way to go, no need to reinvent the wheel.

Hmm, I'm not sure about Option B. Relying on the EDW for daily backups sounds a bit risky to me. What if there's an issue with the EDW?

LOL, I bet the data architect is just gonna recommend the most expensive solution and call it a day. 'Custom restore solution' - yeah, right.

I don't know, Option D seems like a lot of extra work. Why not just use an off-the-shelf backup solution from the AppExchange?

That's a good point. We need to make sure the backup and restore processes are seamless and don't cause any disruptions.

I think we should also consider the time it takes to extract and restore the data using this method. It should be efficient and not impact our daily operations.
