Exam question - which schema can be partially updated?

[Michael_Soprano]

Which type of Schema can be partially updated:

a) Experience Event

b) Individual Profile 

c) Ad hoc Schema?

[KotiSyamala]

I think it's individual profile schemas, as the user profile changes over time; others will follow various types of schema but follow the same structure.

But by design Individual Profile schemas allow partial updates.

Hi @Michael_Soprano 

Both Experience Event & Individual Profile schemas allow partial updates.

Experience events are immutable once ingested.

Hi @Michael_Soprano Obviously it is Individual profile schema. We can use the UPSERT functionality to update as required or update the profile based on the incremental load. i.e. updating the specific field as required.

Thank you,

This question is interesting.  

The question is about partial updates to a schema, which can be applied to all three objects on a field level.  However dataSets which are the ingestion definition of a schema, do allow for partial updates on an xdm individual profile class using upsert.

@Michael_Soprano  Answer is b) Individual Profile , other does not allow partial ingestion

a) Experience Event: Immutable does not allow 

c) Ad hoc Schema : allow ingestion but full not partial
