   A logistics company uses Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations. A third-party tracking system exposes a RESTful endpoint that accepts a JSON array of shipment IDs and returns current statuses. The integration must update the shipment status field in Finance and Operations for up to 500 shipments at a time. The company wants to minimize the number of HTTP round trips. What should you implement?

   • AAn OData data entity that directly queries the external REST endpoint using a cross-service join
   • BA custom service that loops through each shipment ID and calls the external REST endpoint individually
   • CA Batch OData request that sends multiple GET operations in a single HTTP request to the external service
   • DA single POST request to the external REST endpoint with a JSON array of shipment IDs, then process the JSON response

   A company is using Batch OData to update 5,000 customer records. The batch is split into 50 requests of 100 records each. The integration runs every hour. Some requests fail due to transient network errors. The company needs to ensure that all updates eventually succeed without manual intervention. What should you do?

   • ASwitch to a SOAP service that has built-in retry logic
   • BImplement a retry mechanism with exponential backoff for failed batch requests, and log the final failures for alerting
   • CIncrease the batch size to 500 records to reduce the number of requests
   • DUse a single batch with all 5,000 records to ensure atomicity

   A company runs an Electronic Reporting (ER) format that exports vendor invoices to an XML file. The export fails intermittently because some vendor records have missing tax exemption data that the format expects. You need to ensure the export completes successfully and produces a valid XML file. What should you do?

   • AChange the ER destination to a file share so the export is not validated
   • BUse a custom service to pre-process the vendor data and insert dummy values for missing tax exemption data
   • CRun the ER export in a batch job and set the batch to retry on failure
   • DModify the ER format to make the tax exemption field optional or provide a default value in the data source mapping
