ServiceNow CIS-PA Exam - Topic 6 Question 2 Discussion

Actual exam question for ServiceNow's CIS-PA exam

Question #: 2
Topic #: 6

[All CIS-PA Questions]

How many queries are performed against the database when a Daily Data Collection job is executed?

AOne for each indicator type

BOne for each indicator source

COne for each indicator frequency

DOne for each automated indicator

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B

During a Daily Data Collection job, Platform Analytics executes one database query per Indicator Source, not per indicator. Multiple indicators can reference the same indicator source, allowing the platform to reuse the result set and calculate multiple scores from a single query.

This design is a key performance optimization in Platform Analytics. Executing queries per indicator would significantly increase database load, especially in large implementations. ServiceNow documentation explicitly states that indicator sources are the unit of data retrieval during collection, making option B the correct and documented answer.

D feels right. Automated indicators might require separate queries.

C seems logical. Frequency could dictate the number of queries.

I'm leaning towards B. Each source needs a query, right?

I'm going with B. Anything involving "indicator" in the question is bound to be a trap!

I’m a bit confused about the frequency part. Was it frequency or type that we focused on in our practice questions?

I'm feeling pretty confident about this one. I remember discussing database queries for data collection jobs in class, so I think I can narrow it down to the correct answer.

Okay, I think I've got a strategy here. I'll start by listing out the different indicator types, sources, and frequencies, then try to determine which one would require the most database queries.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused on the difference between indicator types, sources, and frequencies. I'll need to review those concepts before trying to answer this.
