A developer needs to find all subscribers on the Customers data extension who made a purchase in the last 30 days. Purchase data is on the Orders data extension which contains a columncalled 'PurchaseDate'. Contacts are identified in both data extensions by a column called 'ContactKey', and the Orders data extension can contain many instances of the same subscnber.
Which SQL keyword should the developer use to achieve the desired result?
To find all subscribers who made a purchase in the last 30 days, an INNER JOIN should be used to join the Customers data extension with the Orders data extension on the ContactKey. This ensures that only subscribers with matching records in both data extensions are retrieved.
SQL Query Example:
SELECT c.ContactKey FROM Customers c INNER JOIN Orders o ON c.ContactKey = o.ContactKey WHERE o.PurchaseDate >= DATEADD(day, -30, GETDATE())

Questions # 52:
A developer wants to create an AMPscript FOR loop that populates HTML table rows based on the number of rows and data in a target DE. Where should the developer place the FOR keyword to begin the loop?
In AMPscript, to create a FOR loop that populates HTML table rows, the developer should place the FOR keyword before the <tr> tag. This ensures that each iteration of the loop creates a new table row with the appropriate data.
To create a Call-To-Action (CTA) link in an email that will display personal information about the subscriber on a landing page, the developer should use the AMPscript CloudPagesURL function (A). This function generates a URL for a CloudPage and can include parameters such as SubscriberKey or EmailAddress, which will be passed to the landing page securely.
Example usage:
rectTo(@url)=%%">View Your Information</a>
This ensures that the SubscriberKey is securely passed to the CloudPage without exposing it directly in the URL.
A company has chosen to use the REST API for triggered sends, but they continue to get the following error during their testing: "Unable to queue Triggered Send request. There are no valid subscribers." They were informed that the SOAP API provides more information about the error, and found that their payload did not include a required data extension field.
Which element of the SOAP API response provides this level of detail?
In the SOAP API response, the element that provides detailed information about the error, including missing required data extension fields, is ErrorDescription (A). This element contains a description of the error, helping developers understand and resolve the issue.
NTO uses data extensions to manage the subscriber information usedfor their email sends, and those sends includes calls to update records with new or different subscriber information. The developer handling these records writes some AMPscript to check and see if the data extension containing those records updated usingan InsertDE() call if the record doesn't yet exist. Why would the developer receive an error stating the application cannot insert a duplicate value for the primary key in the data extension?
Options:
A.
The InsertDE function will always insert two rows into a data extension as part of the call
B.
The InsertDE function cannot be used with name and value pairs
C.
The InsertDE function comes after the system added the row as part of the email send
The error stating that the application cannot insert a duplicate value for the primary key in the data extension occurs because the InsertDE function cannot be used at send time. The InsertDE function is designed to insert records into a data extension, but it cannot handle the transactional nature of email sends where records might be added simultaneously.

Questions # 56:
A developer receives Error Code 5 when performing a SOAP API call. The error states: "Cannot Perform 'Post' on objects of type 'SentEvent'".
The error message "Cannot Perform 'Post' on objects of type 'SentEvent'" indicates that the SentEvent object is not updatable via the SOAP API. The SentEvent object is typically read-only and is used for tracking purposes.
Read-Only Object: The SentEvent object is used to log events and is not designed to be modified via API calls. This is why attempts to perform POST operations on it will result in an error.

Questions # 57:
A customer wants a list of subscribers who were sent an email within the past 12 months.
How shouldthis request be completed?
Options:
A.
Create a measure with criteria sent_date is after today minus 565 days
B.
Run a tracking extract via the SOAP API
C.
Query against the Job and Sent data views
D.
Locate the email sends in the Tracking tab within Email Studio
To get a list of subscribers who were sent an email within the past 12 months, you should query the Job and Sent data views. These data views contain detailed information about email sends and can be used to filter subscribers based on the send date.
SQL Query Example:
SELECT s.SubscriberKey FROM _Sent s JOIN _Job j ON s.JobID = j.JobID WHERE j.SendDate >= DATEADD(month, -12, GETDATE())
To dynamically populate the physical address of a company's locations using the variable @address and ensure the fastest possible performance for millions of subscribers, the recommended AMPscript solution is:
%%[ SET @address = Lookup("Building_Locations", "Address", "Id", @Id) ]%%
This solution uses the Lookup function, which retrieves a specific field value from a data extension based on the given criteria. It is efficient and performs well for high-volume sends.
