Salesforce Exam Data Cloud Consultant Topic 5 Question 28 Discussion

Dependencies in Data Cloud:

Before disconnecting a data source, all dependencies must be removed to prevent data integrity issues.

Identifying Dependencies:

Segment: Segments using data from the source must be deleted or reassigned.

Data Stream: The data stream must be disconnected, as it directly relies on the data source.

Steps to Remove Dependencies:

Remove Segments:

Navigate to the Segmentation interface in Salesforce Data Cloud.

Identify and delete segments relying on the data source.

Disconnect Data Stream:

Go to the Data Stream settings.

Locate and disconnect the data stream associated with the source.

Practical Application:

Example: When preparing to disconnect a legacy CRM system, ensure all segments and data streams using its data are properly removed or migrated.
