Salesforce Exam Data Cloud Consultant Topic 1 Question 35 Discussion

When setting up Data Cloud for a multi-brand organization, if a consultant cannot map an object for one of the brands during data stream setup, they should navigate to the Data Space tab and select the object to include it in the new data space. Here's why:

Understanding the Issue

The consultant is using data spaces to segregate data for different brands.

While mapping a data stream, they notice that an object is unavailable for one of the brands.

This indicates that the object has not been associated with the new data space.

Why Navigate to the Data Space Tab?

Data Spaces and Object Availability :

Objects must be explicitly added to a data space before they can be used in mappings or transformations within that space.

If an object is missing, it means it has not been included in the data space configuration.

Solution Approach :

By navigating to the Data Space tab , the consultant can add the required object to the new data space.

This ensures the object becomes available for mapping and use in the data stream.

Steps to Resolve the Issue

Step 1: Navigate to the Data Space Tab

Go to Data Cloud > Data Spaces and locate the new data space for the brand.

Step 2: Add the Missing Object

Select the data space and click on Edit .

Add the required object (e.g., a Data Model Object or Data Lake Object) to the data space.

Step 3: Save and Verify

Save the changes and return to the data stream setup.

Verify that the object is now available for mapping.

Step 4: Complete the Mapping

Proceed with mapping the object in the data stream.

Why Not Other Options?

A . Create a new data stream and map the second data stream to the data space : Creating a new data stream is unnecessary if the issue is simply object availability in the data space.

B . Copy data from the default data space to a new DMO using the Data Copy feature and link this DMO to the new data space : This is overly complex and not required if the object can simply be added to the data space.

C . Create a batch transform to split data between different data spaces : Batch transforms are used for data processing, not for resolving object availability issues.

Conclusion

The correct solution is to navigate to the Data Space tab and select the object to include it in the new data space . This ensures the object is available for mapping and resolves the issue efficiently.
