When configuring a Workflow to import data, which four tasks must be completed before import can begin?

• A. Build the Data Source the Workflow will use; Build the Transformation Rules the Workflow will use; Set the Global Point of View (POV) if it has not yet been set; Assign the Data Sources and Transformation Rules to the Import step of the workflow Profile
• B. Set the Cube View to view the Calculation Status; Build the Transformation Rules the Workflow will use; Set the Global Point of View (POV) if it has not yet been set; Assign the Data Sources and Transformation Rules to the Import step of the workflow Profile
• C. Build the Data Source the Workflow will use; Build the Transformation Rules the Workflow will use; Create and configure Calculation Definitions; Assign the Data Sources and Transformation Rules to the Import step of the workflow Profile
• D. 1. Set the Cube View to view the Calculation Status; 2. Build the Transformation Rules the Workflow will use; 3. Set the Global Point of View (POV) if it has not yet been set; 4. Assign the Data Sources and Transformation Rules to the Import step of the workflow Profile

Answer: (A)

Setting up a workflow to import data requires establishing the pieces that feed and shape the import, then wiring them into the Import step so the process runs with the right context. First, you need a defined Data Source—the import needs to know where the data is coming from and how to connect to it. Next, you need Transformation Rules to specify how that source data is mapped and transformed into the target structure, turning raw input into usable values. Then you must ensure a Global POV is set, so the import has a clear context (which year, scenario, version, etc.) to place the data. Finally, you assign both the Data Sources and Transformation Rules to the Import step in the workflow profile, so the import process actually uses those configurations when it runs. Why the other elements aren’t part of the required four: setting a Cube View to monitor calculation status isn’t a prerequisite for starting the import, it’s a monitoring/view feature. Creating or configuring Calculation Definitions isn’t needed for the act of importing data, as calculations occur separately from the import setup.
