   A company is migrating data from an on-premises database to Salesforce. The source data has many records with duplicate values in a field that is supposed to be unique. The team wants to avoid errors during the load. What should the integration architect do during the planning phase?

   • AUse the Bulk API with a larger batch size to reduce the chance of duplicate errors.
   • BPerform data profiling to identify duplicates and define a deduplication strategy before loading.
   • CLoad the data as-is and rely on Salesforce to reject duplicates, then manually fix them.
   • DUse the SOAP API to load the data, since it handles duplicates better.

   What is a limitation of using the SOAP API for large data loads?

   A company needs to migrate 50,000 records from an external system that only supports synchronous API calls. The migration must be completed within a 2-hour window, and the team needs to know immediately if a record fails so they can correct it on the spot. The architect is considering using the SOAP API. What is the primary limitation the architect must address?

   • AThe SOAP API does not provide per-record error feedback, making it impossible to correct errors on the spot.
   • BThe SOAP API requires the use of a middleware tool to load data, which adds complexity.
   • CThe SOAP API cannot handle data with special characters, so the data must be pre-processed.
   • DThe SOAP API is synchronous and processes records one at a time, which may be too slow for 50,000 records within 2 hours.

   What is a primary concern when loading data that has a high degree of data skew (e.g., many records referencing the same parent record)?

   • AData skew is only a concern for SOAP API loads
   • BData skew can cause locking contention and delays
   • CData skew causes the Bulk API to fail immediately
   • DData skew is handled automatically by the Bulk API
