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.

When creating a new schedule for a dataflow in SAP Customer Data Cloud, you can manually configure the following parameters:

Option A: Incorrect. TheSchedule IDis automatically generated by the system and cannot be set manually.

Option B: Correct. TheExecution frequencydetermines how often the dataflow will run (e.g., daily, hourly, etc.). This is a key parameter when setting up a schedule.

Option C: Correct. TheEmail on success/failureoption allows you to specify email addresses to receive notifications about the schedule's execution status.

Option D: Incorrect. TheSchedule timeoutis not a configurable parameter in the scheduling interface. It is determined by the system based on the dataflow's complexity.

Option E: Correct. TheSchedule nameis a required parameter that allows you to identify and manage the schedule easily.

Scheduling Best Practices

In SAP Customer Data Cloud, you can perform specific actions on apermission group, which is used to manage user permissions and roles. The correct actions are:

Option A: Correct. You can delete a permission group if it is no longer needed. This action removes the group and its associated permissions.

Option B: Correct. You can map a permission group to a SAML provider group. This allows synchronization of permissions between SAP Customer Data Cloud and external identity providers using SAML.

Option C: Incorrect. Cloning a permission group is not a supported action in SAP Customer Data Cloud.

Option D: Incorrect. Duplicating a permission group is also not a supported feature.

SAML Integration with Permission Groups

Dataflows in SAP Customer Data Cloud allow you to integrate and process data from various sources and targets. The following components can be added to dataflows:

A. Datasource: Represents the source of data, such as an S3 bucket, database, or API.

B. Datatarget: Represents the destination where processed data will be written, such as SAP Customer Data Cloud accounts or external systems.

C. File: Used for file-related operations, such as reading, writing, decrypting, compressing, or uncompressing files.

The other options are incorrect:

D. Social: Social components are not part of dataflow configurations. They are used for social identity integrations.

E. Field: Fields are attributes within data schemas and are not standalone components in dataflows.

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.

In theSites -> Site Settingssection of SAP Customer Data Cloud, you can configure the following:

C. Default Web and mobile screen-sets: Screen-sets define the user interface elements (e.g., login, registration, profile update) for web and mobile applications. You can set default screen-sets for your site.

D. CNAME: A CNAME record allows you to map a custom domain to your SAP Customer Data Cloud site. This is essential for branding purposes and ensures that your site uses your domain instead of the default SAP domain.

The other options are incorrect:

A. Email templates: Email templates are configured separately under thePoliciessection, not in Site Settings.

B. Custom API domain: Custom API domains are configured at the account level, not in Site Settings.

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.

SAML Protocol Overview

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.

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.
