C_C4H62_2408 SAP Certified Associate - Implementation Consultant - SAP Customer Data Cloud Questions and Answers

When building a dataflow to transfer existing users' subscriptions from a marketing system to SAP Customer Data Cloud, the following actions are necessary:

Decrypt the PGP-encrypted file: Since the source file is encrypted, you must use thefile.decrypt.pgpcomponent to decrypt it before processing.

Handle errors during account updates: After writing data to SAP Customer Data Cloud using thedatasource.write.gigya.accountcomponent, you should add an error-handling step to capture records that fail to update.

Compress failed records: Failed records need to be zipped and sent back to the S3 bucket. Thefile.compress.zipcomponent is used for this purpose.

Option B: Adding an error-handling step afterdatasource.read.amazon.s3is unnecessary because errors at this stage are typically related to file retrieval, not data processing.

Option D: Thefile.encrypt.pgpandfile.uncompress.zipcomponents are irrelevant to this scenario, as the requirement is to decrypt and compress, not encrypt or uncompress.

To configure a dataflow to run regularly, SAP recommends two best-practice options:

Option A: Correct. Using thedataflow schedulerin the SAP Customer Data Cloud Console is the most straightforward way to configure regular execution. You can define the schedule directly in the UI.

Option B: Incorrect. Theidx.setDataflowendpoint is used to update dataflow configurations, not to schedule them.

Option C: Correct. Usingextensionsand scheduling the dataflow via an extension endpoint provides flexibility and allows for advanced scheduling scenarios, such as triggering the dataflow based on external events.

Option D: Incorrect. Theidx.createSchedulingendpoint is not a valid API endpoint for scheduling dataflows.

To ensure that theFirst NameandLast Namefields are formatted in lowercase during an account export using dataflows, SAP recommends using therecord.evaluatecomponent with a custom transformation. This approach allows you to apply JavaScript functions (e.g.,toLowerCase) to transform the data as needed.

Option A: Incorrect. Thefield.renamecomponent is used to rename fields, not to modify their content.

Option B: Correct. Therecord.evaluatecomponent allows you to write custom JavaScript code to transform field values. For example, you can use thetoLowerCasefunction to format the fields in lowercase.

Option C: Incorrect. Thedatasource.read.gigya.accountcomponent is used to read account data, but it does not support applying transformations liketoLowerCasedirectly in its parameters.

Option D: Incorrect. Thefield.flattencomponent is used to flatten nested JSON structures, not to modify field values.

In an OpenID Connect (OIDC) implementation, the/userinfoendpointis responsible for returning claims about the authenticated user. After the user has been authenticated and an access token has been issued, the client application can use this token to query the/userinfoendpoint to retrieve additional user information, such as name, email, and other profile details.

Option A: Incorrect. The/introspectendpoint is used to validate the status of a token (e.g., whether it is active or expired), not to return user claims.

Option B: Incorrect. The/authorizeendpoint is used to initiate the authentication process, not to return user claims.

Option C: Correct. The/userinfoendpoint is specifically designed to return claims about the authenticated user.

Option D: Incorrect. The/tokenendpoint is used to exchange an authorization code for tokens (e.g., access token, ID token), not to return user claims.

To keep a log of customer orders in SAP Customer Data Cloud, the recommended approach is tomodify the account's data schemaby adding anordersattribute. This attribute should be structured as an array of objects, where each object represents an order and contains relevant details (e.g., order ID, date, items).

Option A: Incorrect. Adding a custom type to the data store and providing a UID for each document is unnecessary complexity for this use case. The goal is to associate orders directly with user accounts.

Option B: Correct. Modifying the account's data schema to include anordersattribute as an array of objects is the most efficient and scalable way to store order logs within the user profile.

Option C: Incorrect. Adding a JSON document to the custom data is less structured and harder to manage compared to modifying the schema with a dedicatedordersattribute.

Option D: Incorrect. Updating the profile schema according to the order data structure is vague and does not specify how the data will be stored or managed.

Customizing Account Data

To start making API calls against your existing API key in SAP Customer Data Cloud using a server-side REST API, you need to:

A: Create a new application and generate a secret key. The secret key is required for authenticating API requests securely. The API key alone is insufficient for server-side API calls; the secret key ensures secure communication.

The other options are incorrect:

B: Creating a CNAME in the site settings is related to custom domain configuration, not API authentication.

C: Adding the IP address to the IP-Allowlist is optional and only required if IP restrictions are enabled. It is not mandatory for making API calls.

D: Enabling the REST interface in the site settings is unnecessary because the REST API is already enabled by default.
