According to the official Salesforce guide1, using Bulk API serial mode for data migration can help avoid locking issues by processing batches in a single thread. This mode ensures that batches are processed in the order they are received and that only one batch is processed at a time. This reduces the risk of lock contention and deadlocks, especially when updating parent and child records in a lookup relationship. Option B is the correct answer because it suggests using Bulk API serial mode for data migration. Option A is incorrect because using Bulk API parallel mode for data migration can cause locking issues by processing batches in multiple threads. This mode does not guarantee the order of batch processing and can result in concurrent updates to the same records, which can lead to lock contention and deadlocks. Option C is incorrect because inserting the order in another custom object and using Batch Apex to move the records to Service_Order__c object adds unnecessary complexity and overhead to the data migration process. Option D is incorrect because changing the lookup configuration to “Clear the value of this field” when lookup record is deleted does not address the locking issues caused by data migration, but rather by record deletion.
