Palantir HyperAuto Pipelines--- correct answer ---
Virtual Tables
5. 15. Which of the following actions can be performed after successfully syncing a
table range from a Fusion sheet to a dataset in Foundry? Select three.
Change the branch of the dataset.
Modify the export column type to match desired data types. Delete the original Fusion
sheet without affecting the dataset. Use both sheet sync and table sync on the same
Fusion sheet. Automatically merge changes from multiple Fusion sheets.
Rename the synced dataset.--- correct answers --- Change the branch of the dataset.
Modify the export column type to match desired data types.
Rename the synced dataset.
6. 16. Which open data format is used by default for transformed data in Palantir AIP
to ensure compatibility with existing data architectures? JSON
Parquet CSV
,Avro--- correct answers --- Parquet

Ontology? Select two.
Provide object type polymorphism Define link types
Capture data from operators Author business logic
Orchestrate decision-making processes
Define object properties--- correct answers --- Capture data from operators Orchestrate
decision-making processes
4. 9. Which of the following are part of securing a Foundry agent host? Select two.
Allow all inbound traffic to facilitate connectivity. Allow network traffic only from
specific IPs.
Open all ports for flexibility.
Install antivirus software on the host. Ensure the agent host can talk to Palantir.
Configure the firewall to block all traffic except to desired destinations. --- correct
answer ---
En- sure the agent host can talk to Palantir.
Configure the firewall to block all traffic except to desired destinations.
9. 19. You are responsible for syncing a specific range of data from a Fusion
spreadsheet to a dataset in Foundry to be used by Contour. After selecting the desired
table range and initiating the sync, what must you ensure to avoid synchronization
issues?
Ensure that the dataset has Viewer permissions.
, Export the synced data as a CSV file immediately after syncing. Only use table sync
without any sheet sync in the Fusion sheet.
Use both sheet sync and table sync within the same Fusion sheet.--- correct answers ---
Only use table sync without any sheet sync in the Fusion sheet.
10. 25. When developing a transform for unstructured datasets in Foundry, which of
the following approaches is most effective for parsing semi-struc- tured data like JSON
or XML files?
Converting the unstructured data into plain text before processing.
Storing the unstructured data as binary blobs without parsing.
Leveraging custom Python or Java code within the transform to handle pars- ing.
Using built-in SQL functions to parse the data directly.--- correct answers --- Leveraging
custom Python or Java code within the transform to handle parsing.
11. 26. Which role is required to configure network egress policies in Foundry's
managed SaaS platform?
