What transformation is used to generate a dataset based on a Salesforce object?

The SFDC Digest transformation is specifically designed to create datasets directly from Salesforce objects. This functionality allows users to access data stored within Salesforce and convert it into a format suitable for analysis in CRM Analytics. By utilizing the SFDC Digest, users can specify which Salesforce object they want to pull data from and can configure it to include specific fields, filters, and other parameters. This makes the process streamlined and simplifies the data preparation necessary for analytics.

The other options serve different purposes that do not directly relate to generating datasets from Salesforce objects. For example, the Data Merge function is primarily focused on combining multiple datasets into one coherent dataset for analysis rather than creating them from Salesforce objects. The Data Import Wizard is typically used for importing data into Salesforce from external sources rather than fetching data directly from Salesforce objects. Lastly, a Dataset Snapshot captures a point-in-time view of a dataset but does not specifically relate to the creation of datasets from Salesforce objects.
