In a Vlocity DataRaptor "Link Mapping", how should the targeted "Link Creation Object" relate to the "Domain Object"?

• A. It must be lower in the sequence
• B. It must be equal in the sequence
• C. It must be higher in the sequence
• D. It can be any position in the sequence

Answer: (C)

In a Vlocity DataRaptor "Link Mapping," the targeted "Link Creation Object" must be higher in the sequence than the "Domain Object." This relationship is crucial because Link Mapping is typically used to establish connections between different data entities, where the "Link Creation Object" represents the entity that is being created or linked to another entity, which is the "Domain Object."

When the "Link Creation Object" is higher in the sequence, it indicates a parent-child or a dependent relationship where the creation or existence of the child object (Link Creation Object) relies on the validation or existence of the parent object (Domain Object). Therefore, positioning the Link Creation Object higher in the sequence ensures that the proper data hierarchy is maintained, enabling data integrity and appropriate association during the data processing flow.

Understanding this hierarchy is fundamental in designing effective data mappings that reflect the logical relationships in the underlying data model, thus ensuring that the operations such as create, update, or link work seamlessly within Vlocity's architecture.
