Microsoft Dynamics 365: Finance and Operations Apps Solution Architect — Question 82

A company plans to upgrade from Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 to Dynamics 365 Finance and Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management. The company has a large call center that uses a third-party system to enter sales orders.

The company decides to keep the third-party system and integrate it with Dynamics 365 Finance and Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management.

The company also wants to reuse the Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 integration and endpoints with Dynamics 365 Finance and Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management.

For performance reasons, non-real-time integrations must be avoided.

All solutions that are proposed should be supported by Microsoft in case there are performance issues.

You need to plan the integration strategy.

What should you do?

Answer options

• A. Plan for testing in a Tier 2+ environment.
• B. Define custom service API requirements.
• C. Reuse the Application Integration Framework (AIF) and endpoint integration.
• D. Plan for testing in a production environment.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because testing in a Tier 2+ environment allows for a controlled and thorough assessment of the integration's performance before going live. Option B is incorrect since defining API requirements does not address the immediate need for performance testing. Option C, while valid for utilizing existing frameworks, does not specifically focus on testing strategies. Option D is not advisable as testing in a production environment can lead to performance issues affecting live operations.
