Salesforce Certified Data 360 Consultant free question 10 / 10 · Domain 6: Data Activations and Utilization
The data at an activation target is corrupted, and you want to send everything again. Which statement about the difference between running a full refresh from the activation page and publishing from the segment record page matches the Help article?
- From either page, the segment data is reprocessed up to date and then the full result is sent to the target
- From either page, the result of the most recent segment run is sent to the target as it is, without running the segment again
- A full refresh on the activation page uses the result of the most recent segment run, while publishing from the segment page reprocesses the segment
- A full refresh on the activation page reprocesses the segment and then sends everything, while publishing from the segment page sends the result of the most recent run
Show the answer and explanation
Answer: C
Why this is correct
The article on activation refresh types says that after you create an activation, a full refresh on the activation page uses the result of the most recent segment run without running the segment again. This differs from publishing from the segment record page, which reprocesses the segment data. To reload the target's data only, use the activation page. To re-evaluate the segment conditions against the latest data, publish from the segment page.
Why the other options are wrong
"A full refresh on the activation page reprocesses the segment and then sends everything, while publishing from the segment page sends the result of the most recent run" … This is reversed. A full refresh on the activation page uses the result of the most recent segment run, and publishing from the segment page reprocesses the segment data.
"From either page, the result of the most recent segment run is sent to the target as it is, without running the segment again" … Publishing from the segment record page reprocesses the segment data, which differs from a full refresh on the activation page.
"From either page, the segment data is reprocessed up to date and then the full result is sent to the target" … A full refresh on the activation page uses the result of the most recent segment run and does not run the segment again.
Also keep in mind
If a full refresh is queued during an incremental refresh, then after the current refresh finishes, pending refreshes other than the latest become SKIPPED, and the latest pending one is changed into a full refresh and run. If an activation fails, the next refresh is incremental from the most recent successful segment publish.
