Salesforce Certified Data Architecture Practice Test

Which two solutions should be recommended to preserve date timestamps and ownership on records being migrated to Salesforce?

1. Log a case with Salesforce to update these fields.

2. Enable update records with Inactive Owners Permission.

3. Enable Set Audit fields upon Record Creation Permission.

4. Enable modify all and view all permission.

The correct answer is: Enable update records with Inactive Owners Permission.

To preserve date timestamps and ownership on records being migrated to Salesforce, enabling the "update records with Inactive Owners Permission" is the most relevant solution. This specific permission allows the migration process to maintain the original ownership of records, even if the owners are inactive. By doing so, historical integrity is preserved, which is crucial for data accuracy and continuity during the migration. When records are imported or migrated into Salesforce, ownership and timestamps can potentially be lost or altered without the proper permissions and configurations in place. This permission ensures that records are accurately represented with their historical ownership, maintaining crucial data relationships and audit trails that many organizations rely on for reporting and compliance purposes. The other options do not appropriately address the preservation of date timestamps and ownership in the context of a data migration: - Logging a case with Salesforce is a reactive measure and does not directly impact the migration process nor offer a real-time solution for preserving critical field data during the import. - Enabling the "Set Audit fields upon Record Creation Permission" is primarily used for populating audit fields such as Created Date and Created By. While useful, it does not address the retention of ownership for records with previously inactive users. - Enabling "Modify All" and "View All" permissions provides broad access rights
