Question 7 - Adobe AD0-E605 Exam Questions [April 2026 Update]

Q: 7

A large healthcare company has a legacy system which leverages a relational database management system (RDBMS) to keep track of patient records and has multiple tables that represent different entities like demographics, patient visits, diagnoses, treatments and insurance. The company is planning to use Adobe Real-Time Customer Data Platform (Adobe Real-Time CDP) to consolidate all their patient data and help in deriving meaningful insights. They plan to use Adobe Real-Time CDP to translate their RDBMS data model to Experience Data Model (XDM) for ease of data management and real-time analytics. However, they need to ensure that they translate their data model optimally to take full advantage of Adobe Real-Time CDP's features while keeping consistency and data integrity. Considering the data relations, which approach would the data architect adopt to best migrate RDBMS data into XDM?

Options

Correct Answer:

Explanation

The optimal approach is to model the data according to its nature within the Experience Data Model (XDM) framework. Demographics and other persistent patient attributes belong to the XDM Individual Profile class, which represents a person. Time-series data like visits, diagnoses, and treatments are events and should be modeled using the XDM ExperienceEvent class. Adobe Real-Time CDP then uses primary identities (e.g., a unique Patient ID) defined in these schemas to stitch the event data to the corresponding profile, creating a comprehensive, real-time view of the patient journey. This separation leverages the platform's core strengths for segmentation and activation.

Why Incorrect

A. This is too simplistic. While it correctly separates profile and event data, it doesn't mention the critical process of stitching them together via identities, which is core to the solution.

B. Replicating an RDBMS structure in a single schema is an anti-pattern. It ignores the profile/event distinction, leading to a rigid, unscalable model that cannot leverage Real-Time CDP features.

D. XDM does not use composite keys like an RDBMS. It uses identity relationships and schema relationships to link data, which is a fundamentally different and more flexible approach.
