Question
You are training a new Dynamics 365 Finance developer.
You need to recommend where asynchronous integrations should be used instead of synchronous integrations.
For which scenario should you recommend asynchronous integration?
- A. A retailer requires all new customer data captured at point of sale (POS) terminals through the day sent back to the system. Correct
- B. A retailer wants to ensure gift card balances are communicated back to the system from point of sale (POS) terminals in near real-time.
- C. A manufacturer wants to move production data from an on-premises deployment Dynamics 365 Finance in near real-time.
- D. A warehouse wants to track movement of all inventory from scanners to the system.
Explanation
Customer records captured at POS terminals during the day do not need to reach headquarters immediately, so they can be sent in batches asynchronously without blocking the terminal. Gift card balances must be validated in near real time to prevent double spending, which needs synchronous calls. Near real-time production data and live scanner inventory movements also need immediate updates, so they suit synchronous integration.
