Exam MB-500 topic 5 question 4 discussion

Should be : Duplicate the existing report ... AND Use the Controller class.....

I would say Duplicate and DP class =)

for [2] Option B: Use the ReportDataProvider class, because the Report Data Provider (RDP) class is responsible for defining the data and business logic for the report, including filtering the dataset based on parameters or conditions like the current user’s ID. The RDP class defines the data and business logic for the report, including: Querying data from tables or views. Populating temporary tables (e.g., TmpTable) used by the report. Applying filters or conditions to the dataset based on parameters or runtime conditions.

Duplicate the report and DP class Controller class does not require to change, we could use print management setup to call the new report design.

You need to duplicate the existing report, there is no way yet to extend the existing report yet. For RDL reports you have no other option than to make the modification to the base query in the Controller class, because there is no Data provider for RDL reports. For RDP reports I would do the modification in the Data provider since you already directly copy the data to the tmp table from there.

Duplicate the existing report in an extension model Use the Controller class

Duplicate the existing report Use the Controller class

1 1 ( controller equal old dialog to get parameter “ filter” value back to contract class)

duplicate and controller class

Duplicate the existing report DP filter should be used in DP. controller only set the report name.

It should be : Duplicate existing report as this is not possible to extend a report It should be controller as the controller just can catch the context. The Data Provider(s) is / are given the data contract(s) in input (with a user as DataMember) and are fetch accordly. See : https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/fin-ops-core/dev-itpro/analytics/create-nextgen-reporting-solutions#defining-parameters-defaulting-using-code and https://14-dynamics365.com/2020/12/09/how-to-create-a-new-custom-ssrs-report-in-d365-fo/

Why Duplicate the report, and not Extend?
