Northern Trail Outfitters placed an encrypted file on their Marketing Cloud SFTP for import into a data extension. They are using a file transfer Activity to decrypt the file.
What would the decrypted data be after the File Transfer Activity completes?
Correct Answer: D
Explanation
To resolve the issue of the encrypted file being decrypted after the File Transfer Activity completes, the decrypted data would be in the original SFTP folder. The File Transfer Activity can be configured to decrypt an encrypted file using a decryption key provided by NTO. The decrypted file will be placed in the same location as the encrypted file on the SFTP site. The other options are incorrect because:
* Selected SFTP folder. This is not where the decrypted data would be after the File Transfer Activity completes, as the File Transfer Activity does not allow NTO to select a different SFTP folder for the decrypted file. The decrypted file will be placed in the same location as the encrypted file on the SFTP site.
* Target Data Extension. This is not where the decrypted data would be after the File Transfer Activity completes, as the File Transfer Activity does not import data into a data extension. The File Transfer Activity only moves files from one location to another, such as from an FTP site to the Safehouse or from the Safehouse to a data extension. To import data into a data extension, NTO needs to use an Import File Activity.
* Safehouse. This is not where the decrypted data would be after the File Transfer Activity completes, as the File Transfer Activity does not move files to the Safehouse when decrypting them. The File Transfer Activity only moves files to the Safehouse when encrypting them or when transferring them from an
* external FTP site to Marketing Cloud. The Safehouse is a temporary storage location within Marketing Cloud that can be used for staging files before importing them into a data extension.
