UIARd certification exam feedback merge activity

I just took my UIARD certification exam

One of the questions was the following.

You have these 2 data tables

What should be the configuration of the Merge activity to obtain the following result

It intrigues me because that’s all the question said.

and in the answers what varied was the missingschemaaction property.

Testing in UiPath, configuring that property, the add and addwithkey parameters give me the same result, what would be the correct answer?

@alexis.mendoza.rpa

Ideally addwithkey will work when a primary key is defined on the datatable…else both add and addwithkey works iin same way…

Ideally the answer should have been add…and may be there might be some place where that id is coloumn is the primary key might have been present or should be present

To know about missing schema actions pelase check this

Hope this helps

Cheers

Hi @alexis.mendoza.rpa ,

When AddWithKey property was used, did you set up the Primary Key ?

I believe you could check this video tutorial for the differences between setting up the property :

I also took that test and, frankly, it was terrible. Like this question. Why would anyone ever merge those two tables and want that output?!

And based on your analysis it’s yet another example of a question where more than one answer is correct. I saw at least a few like that.

Exactly.

I would like to report this case, because in my certification exam I was 1 question away from passing it, so this could be the difference between getting certified or not.

Do you have information if this can be done?

I have no idea how you’d get in touch with anyone. Hopefully here.
