Question 49 - Certified Data Cloud Consultant discussion

The error ''Segment references too many data lake objects (DLOs)'' occurs when a segment query exceeds the limit of 50 DLOs that can be referenced in a single query. This can happen when the segment has too many filters, nested segments, or exclusion criteria that involve different DLOs. To remedy this issue, the consultant can try the following troubleshooting tips:

Split the segment into smaller segments.The consultant can divide the segment into multiple segments that have fewer filters, nested segments, or exclusion criteria. This can reduce the number of DLOs that are referenced in each segment query and avoid the error. The consultant can then use the smaller segments as nested segments in a larger segment, or activate them separately.

Use calculated insights in order to reduce the complexity of the segmentation query.The consultant can create calculated insights that are derived from existing data using formulas. Calculated insights can simplify the segmentation query by replacing multiple filters or nested segments with a single attribute. For example, instead of using multiple filters to segment individuals based on their purchase history, the consultant can create a calculated insight that calculates the lifetime value of each individual and use that as a filter.

The other options are not troubleshooting tips that can help remedy this issue. Refining segmentation criteria to limit up to five custom data model objects (DMOs) is not a valid option, as the limit of 50 DLOs applies to both standard and custom DMOs. Spacing out the segment schedules to reduce DLO load is not a valid option, as the error is not related to the DLO load, but to the segment query complexity.
