Exam Data-Architect Topic 3 Question 208 Discussion

To recommend a clean migration, the data architect should set up a staging database, and define external IDs to merge, clean duplicate data, and load into Salesforce. This will allow the data architect to consolidate and deduplicate the data from two legacy systems before importing it into Salesforce using external IDs as unique identifiers. Option A is incorrect because defining external IDs for an object, migrating second database to first database, and loading into Salesforce will not ensure that the data is clean and duplicate-free. Option B is incorrect because defining duplicate rules in Salesforce, and loading data into Salesforce from both databases will not prevent the duplicate data from being imported into Salesforce. Option D is incorrect because defining external IDs for an object, inserting data from one database, and using upsert for a second database will not handle the duplicate data from both databases.
