Clean Core Best Practices

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.

Webhooks in SAP Customer Data Cloud support the following features:

A. Notifications can contain multiple events: Webhook notifications can include multiple events in a single payload, allowing for efficient batch processing of related events.

C. Custom data fields can be added to the payload: SAP Customer Data Cloud allows you to configure webhooks to include custom data fields in the notification payload, enabling flexibility in data transfer.

The other options are incorrect:

B. Events are ordered per UID: While events may be grouped by UID, there is no guarantee of strict ordering within the payload. Event ordering must be handled externally if required.

D. Notifications are sent in a synchronous way: Webhook notifications are sent asynchronously, meaning the sender does not wait for the recipient to process the notification before continuing.

When setting up SAP Customer Data Cloud as a SAML Identity Provider (IdP), two key pages are required: theAssertion pageand theProxy page.

Assertion Page: This page is responsible for generating and sending the SAML assertion to the Service Provider (SP). It contains the logic to construct the SAML response, including user attributes and authentication status.

Proxy Page: The Proxy page acts as an intermediary between the SP and the IdP. It handles the redirection of users during the SAML flow and ensures that the SAML request and response are properly processed.

Option C: Incorrect. The Error page is optional and is used to display error messages. It is not a key page required for the setup.

Option D: Incorrect. The Consent page is used for obtaining user consent for data sharing and is not directly related to the SAML setup.

The registration completion screen is triggered in scenarios where additional information or actions are required to complete the registration process. These include:

A: If the terms-of-service consent record has expired, the user must re-consent, which triggers the registration completion screen.

D: If a user registers via a social network and a mandatory field (e.g., first name, last name) is missing, the registration completion screen is displayed to collect the missing information.

The other options are incorrect:

B: When a user logs in via a social network with an email already associated with an existing account, it typically triggers an account linking process, not the registration completion screen.

C: A new consent version with the same reconsent cutoff does not necessarily trigger the registration completion screen unless the user needs to explicitly re-consent.

Consent Management Scenarios.

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 SAP Customer Data Cloud, when defining a field in a schema, you can configure the following properties:

A. The field's name: This is the unique identifier for the field within the schema.

B. Whether the field is hidden: This property determines whether the field is visible or hidden in the user interface.

E. The field's type: Specifies the data type of the field (e.g., string, integer, boolean).

The other options are incorrect:

C. Whether the field is encrypted: Encryption is not a configurable property at the schema level. Encryption settings are typically managed at the system or database level.

D. Whether the field is compressed: Compression is not a configurable property for schema fields.

To fetch a preference object from a customer in SAP Customer Data Cloud, you should use theaccounts.getPoliciesAPI. This API retrieves the consent and preference policies associated with a user, including their preferences and consent status.

Option A: Correct. Theaccounts.getPoliciesAPI is specifically designed to retrieve user preferences and consent policies.

Option B: Incorrect. Theaccounts.getSchemaAPI retrieves the data schema of the account but does not provide information about preferences or consent.

Option C: Incorrect. Theaccounts.getAccountInfoAPI retrieves general account information but does not include detailed consent or preference data.

Option D: Incorrect. Theaccounts.getConsentStatementsAPI retrieves the list of available consent statements but does not fetch the specific preferences of a user.

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 Child Sites

OpenID Connect (OIDC) is an identity layer built on top of the OAuth 2.0 protocol, enabling clients to verify the identity of the end-user based on the authentication performed by an authorization server. The following terms are part of OpenID Connect terminology:

Claims: These are pieces of information about the user (e.g., name, email, etc.) that are returned in the ID token or userinfo response. Claims represent the attributes of the authenticated user and are essential for conveying identity information.

Scope: This defines the level of access requested by the client application. In OpenID Connect, scopes are used to specify what claims should be returned in the ID token or userinfo response. For example, theopenidscope is required for OpenID Connect authentication, while additional scopes likeprofileoremailcan request more user details.

The other options are not directly part of OpenID Connect terminology:

Metadata: While metadata exists in the context of OpenID Connect (e.g., provider configuration metadata), it is not a core term within the protocol itself.

Assertion: This term is more commonly associated with SAML (Security Assertion Markup Language) rather than OpenID Connect.

SAP Customer Data Cloud References:

SAP Customer Data Cloud supports OpenID Connect as part of its identity management capabilities. The platform allows integration with OIDC-compliant identity providers.
