Summary

In this chapter, we learned how to migrate data, covering each step in detail to ensure you have the requisite knowledge to answer questions on these topics in the exam. Next, we looked at the Salesforce perspective on loading high-quality data, including considerations for LDVs being migrated to the Salesforce Platform. Lastly, we looked at exporting data from Salesforce while covering the various techniques available for us to do so, including Data Loader, Data Export, and the Bulk API, including PK chunking.

This effectively wraps up the theoretical side of the exam content. In the next chapter, we will cover the design aspects of the exam, and we will begin with Accounts and Contacts.
