000-349 Question #28: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation

The correct answer is B. Run a summary content trace. A summary content trace reveals which input card received invalid data by showing the actual content processed at each step, pinpointing the source of the validation failure.

Question

A map has 10 input cards and 5 output cards. The map fails with the message one or more inputs was invalid. What is the next step to take to determine the cause of the error?

Options

ARun a rules trace
BRun a summary content trace
CEnable backup on the input cards.
DAdd Restart attributes to the input type trees.

Explanation

A summary content trace reveals which input card received invalid data by showing the actual content processed at each step, pinpointing the source of the validation failure.

Common mistakes.

A. A rules trace tracks the execution of map rules and conditions, not the raw content of input data, so it would not directly reveal which input was invalid.
C. Enabling backup on input cards preserves data for future reference but does not actively diagnose which card caused the current failure.
D. Adding Restart attributes affects map restart behavior after failure and does not help identify or diagnose the invalid input that caused the original error.
