Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: D 🗳️
For the Batch data API pattern the following two integrations can be used:

Recurring integrations -
Data management package REST API
Note: The freight processing integration requires the use of an SFTP site to store XML files from the source system. The additional integration will use OData and must be transferred in real time.
A periodic batch job must:
ג€¢ Pull data from the SFTP site.
ג€¢ Import the data to a staging table used to hold the information from the source system.
ג€¢ Map source data to the target table in Dynamics 365 Finance.

Selected Answer: D

A. SOAP is a more rigid, XML-based protocol that is less flexible and heavier than REST. While Dynamics 365 Finance supports SOAP for certain legacy integrations, it is not the preferred choice for modern integrations like OData-based real-time data transfer or SFTP file processing. => B. JSON is a data format, not an API architecture type. While JSON may be used as the payload format in REST APIs, it is not an architectural style itself. Therefore, this option is incorrect.=> C. RPC is a protocol for invoking procedures on a remote server, typically used in tightly coupled systems. It is not suitable for the web-based, loosely coupled integration required for pulling data from an SFTP site and using OData
