Salesforce Certified Platform Data Architect (Plat-Arch-201) Exam - Topic 3 Question 59 Discussion

Actual exam question for Salesforce's Salesforce Certified Platform Data Architect (Plat-Arch-201) exam
Question #: 59
Topic #: 3
[All Salesforce Certified Platform Data Architect (Plat-Arch-201) Questions]

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.)

Show Suggested Answer Hide 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.

I thought ETL was only for data migration, not purging.

I practiced a similar question where we discussed third-party tools, but I can't recall if a Business Intelligence system would fit this scenario.

I feel like Apex Triggers might not be the best choice here since they usually respond to record changes rather than purging data.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about ETL tools being useful for data aggregation. Maybe that's one of the answers?

I think using a Schedulable Batch Apex could be a good option since it can handle large data volumes and run on a schedule.

I'm a little confused on this one. The question is asking for two automated approaches, but I'm not sure if the Apex triggers or the third-party BI system would really qualify as "automated." I think I'll focus on the third-party integration tool and the schedulable batch Apex as the best options.

Okay, I've got this. The third-party integration tool and the schedulable batch Apex are definitely the way to go. The integration tool can handle the data extraction and transformation, while the batch Apex can take care of the aggregation and loading back into Salesforce. Feels like a solid approach to me.

Hmm, this is a tricky one. I'm not sure if the third-party business intelligence system would be a good fit since the requirement is to keep the data available in Salesforce. And Apex triggers don't seem like they would be able to handle the aggregation part. I'll have to think this through carefully.

I think the key here is to find an automated approach that can both purge the detailed records and aggregate the data at a summary level. The options that seem most relevant are the third-party integration tool and the schedulable batch Apex.

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!
