QuestionQ60

Data collection and preparation

An AEP developer recently created a schema to capture customer details in AEP. After ingesting data and creating profiles, the marketing team found inconsistencies in data for certain fields. On investigation, the developer determined that the data types specified in the schema may be responsible for these problems.

Which action should the developer take to resolve this data-integrity problem and ensure accurate data capture going forward?

  • A Create a new schema with the appropriate fields
  • B Remove the fields from the schema
  • C Change the data types of the fields
Explanation

After a schema has been used to ingest data, AEP does not support breaking changes to existing fields, including redefining a field or changing its data type. Creating a new schema with correctly typed fields provides a valid structure for future data ingestion.
