CIS-SAM practice question 6 of 25

Which of the following statements is incorrect with regards to on-premise import and export of Content Service data?

Full set: 141 questions
Answer options
A: Clicking on the “Manage Software Library” module takes the user to an interceptor page where they can select to import or export data.
B: On-premise instances do not receive automatic Software Library updates.
C: Normalization content is eligible for the export feature. Correct answer
D: By default, you are opted in to the Manage On-Premise Library (com.sn_samp_on_prem) plugin.
E: You must opt-in to the SAM Content Service through the Content Service setup page.
Correct Answer:
C. Normalization content is eligible for the export feature.
Explanation

The offline export utility that comes with the Manage On-Premise Library (com.snsamponprem) plugin generates a ZIP file that contains ONLY three data sets: Software Library, SKU Library, and Content Library. Normalization content (publishers, products, versions, patterns, and classification rules) is intentionally excluded to avoid conflicts with the stand-alone Normalization Data Services. Therefore, claiming that “Normalization content is eligible for the export feature” is incorrect. All other statements accurately reflect documented on-premises behaviour: the “Manage Software Library” module opens an interceptor that allows import or export, on-prem instances do not receive automatic updates, the on-prem plugin is auto-activated with SAM Pro, and customers must still opt-in to Content Service from the setup page.

Why Incorrect

A. Correct – Documentation states the module launches an interceptor offering Import or Export choices.
B. Correct – Without outbound connectivity, on-prem instances do not get automatic updates.
D. Correct – The com.snsamponprem plugin installs automatically with SAM Pro; no separate opt-in required.
E. Correct – Every instance, hosted or on-prem, must opt-in through the Content Service Setup page before using the service.
