Question 620
A Dataflow Gen2 refresh starts failing after a source schema change. The current environment exhibits the following problem: an invalid numeric conversion is silently replaced with null in a mandatory column. What is the most defensible next action?
Explanation
Correct Answer
Route bad values to quality remediation rather than silently publishing them. Required business fields need explicit validation, not arbitrary null substitution.
Incorrect Answers
A source privacy or credential error appears after a connection owner leaves. Refresh identity controls access separately from query logic.
A merge produces duplicate keys because the lookup table is no longer unique. A many-to-many merge can multiply output records.
The dataflow transformations finish but the destination write fails. Query execution and sink materialization are distinct stages.
