An app builder has created a change set and deployed a report from their development sandbox to a partial sandbox for User Acceptance Testing. When the app builder runs the report, no data is returned. What can be a reason for this?
A.
Data is deployed when added to a change sets.
B.
Data is unable to be deployed with change sets.
C.
Reports have to be manually re-created in each environment.
The correct answer is B. Data is unable to be deployed with change sets.
Change sets deploy metadata/configuration, not business data. Salesforce documentation states that change sets can contain setup modifications, but they cannot be used to upload a list of records such as contacts.
So the report itself can be deployed, but the underlying records needed for the report results are not deployed through the change set. If the Partial Copy sandbox does not contain matching sample data, the report returns no data.
Why others are incorrect:
Data is not deployed just because it is added to a change set.
Reports do not have to be manually recreated if they are deployed properly.
“Salesforce OK” is not a deployment requirement.
