[All Salesforce Certified Platform Data Architect (Plat-Arch-201) Questions]

UC is migrating data from legacy system to SF. UC would like to preserve the following information on records being migrated:

Date time stamps for created date and last modified date.

Ownership of records belonging to inactive users being migrated to Salesforce.

Which 2 solutions should a data architect recommends to preserve the date timestamps and ownership on records? Choose 2 answers.

ALog a case with SF to update these fields

BEnable update records with Inactive Owners Permission

CEnable Set Audit fields upon Record Creation Permission

DEnable modify all and view all permission.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B, C

The two solutions that a data architect should recommend to preserve the date timestamps and ownership on records being migrated are:

Enable update records with Inactive Owners Permission: This permission allows users to update record owner and sharing-based records with inactive owners.This can help preserve the original ownership of records that belong to users who are no longer active in Salesforce8.

Enable Set Audit fields upon Record Creation Permission: This permission allows users to set audit fields (such as Created By or Last Modified By) when they create a record via API importing tools like Data Loader.This can help preserve the original date timestamps of records that were created or modified in another system9.

Log a case with SF to update these fields is not a good solution because it is not necessary or feasible to ask Salesforce support to update these fields manually or programmatically.Enable modify all and view all permission is not a good solution because it does not affect the ability to preserve the date timestamps and ownership on records, but rather grants users access to all records regardless of sharing settings

I feel like we might have covered something similar in class, but I can't recall if logging a case with SF is a viable solution. It seems risky.

I'm not sure about logging a case with Salesforce, that seems like an overly complicated solution when we have other options available. I'll focus on the permissions-based approaches.

Okay, I've got a plan - I'll choose option C to enable the "Set Audit fields upon Record Creation" permission, and then option B to handle the inactive owners. That should cover the requirements.
