  • RepSourceID
  • SalesRepID
  • FirstName
  • LastName
  • StartDate
  • EndDate
  • Region

You are developing an Azure Synapse Analytics pipeline that includes a mapping data flow named Dataflow1.

You need to update the last name of a salesperson in DimSalesPerson. Which two actions should you perform? Each correct answer presents part of the solution. NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
