Question 3 Topic 6, Mixed Questions
You are Dynamics 365 Finance developer.
You need to explain the performance advantages of the different concurrency models.
What are three performance advantages of optimistic concurrency control over pessimistic concurrency control? Each
correct answer presents a complete solution.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
- A. Records are locked as soon as they are retrieved from the database.
- B. Records remain available for other processes while they are selected from the database.
- C. Records are locked for a shorter length of time.
- D. Fewer resources are used to lock records during updates.
- E. One record cannot be selected for update by two different processes at the same time.
Answer:
B C D
Explanation:
Optimistic Concurrency only locks records from the time when the actual update is performed.
Following are the advantages of using OCC:
Records remain available for other processes to update if they have been selected from the database but haven't yet been
updated. Records are locked for a shorter length of time.
Fewer resources are used to hold the locks during the update process.
Incorrect Answers:
A: Pessimistic Concurrency Control locks records as soon as they are fetched from the database for an update. E: One
record can be selected for update by two different processes at the same time when using OCC.

For the Entry point method you need first need to add new entry point and set its object type and object name properties or
for existing ones select desired entry point and click on drop down arrow and on controls right click and select new control,
and now set its grant and name properties to desired control and its access rights.

Question 7 Topic 6, Mixed Questions
DRAG DROP
You are a Dynamics 365 Finance developer.
You need configure table caching.
Which CacheLookup properties should you use? To answer, drag the CacheLookup properties to the correct table. Each
property may be used once, more than once, or not at all. You may need to drag the split bar between panes or scroll to view
content.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
Select and Place:
Answer:
Explanation:
Box 1: FoundAndEmpty
All selects on caching keys are cached, including selects that are not returning data.
All caching key selects are returned from caching if the record exists there, or the record is marked as nonexistent in the
cache. A select forUpdate in a transaction forces reading from the database and replaces the record in the cache.
An example of FoundAndEmpty record caching is in the Discount table in the Microsoft Dynamics AX standard application.
By default, the Discount table has no records. By using a FoundAndEmpty cache on this table, the keys that are queried for
but not found are stored in the cache. Subsequent queries for these same non-existent records can be answered from the
cache without a round trip to the database.
Box 2: NotInTTS
All successful caching key selects are cached.
When in a transaction (after ttsBegin), no caches made outside the transaction are used. When inside a transaction, the
record is read once from the database and subsequently from the cache. The record is select-locked when reading in a
transaction, which ensures that the record cached is not updated while the transaction is active.
A typical example of the NotInTTS property is on the CustTable in the Microsoft Dynamics AX application. It is acceptable to
read outdated data from the cache outside a transaction, but when data is used for validation or creating references, it is
ensured that the data is real-time.
Box 3: EntireTable
Creates a set-based cache on the server. The entire table is cached as soon as at least one record is selected from the
table. An EntireTable cahce is flushed whenever an insert, update or delete is made to the table. So first select read all
records from DB for the selected company and all the further selects will take data from the cache instead of DB calls.
Box 4: Found
All successful caching key selects are cached. All caching key selects are returned from the cache if the record exists there.
A select forUpdate in a transaction forces reading from the database and replaces the record in the cache.
This is typically used for static (lookup) tables, such as Unit, where the record usually exists.

Question 8 Topic 6, Mixed Questions
HOTSPOT
You are a Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations developer.
Users are experiencing slower load times for the All Customers form.
You need to update caching for CustTable to improve data retrieval times.
How should you configure CacheLookup properties? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
Hot Area:
Answer:
Explanation:
Box 1: Entire table
In Microsoft Dynamics AX, groups of records can be cached all at once with set-based caching. Set-based caching can be
implemented in two ways:
At design time, by setting the table's CacheLookup property to EntireTable.
In code, by using the RecordViewCache class.
Box 2: Found
Record caching is enabled for a table when all the following statements are true:
The CacheLookup property on the table is enabled by setting it to one of the following values:
NotInTTS, Found, FoundAndEmpty.
The record buffer disableCache method has not been called with a parameter of true.

Question 13 Topic 6, Mixed Questions
You need to configure security for the Vendor Exclusion List report.
What are two possible ways to achieve this goal? Each correct answer presents a complete solution.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
- A. Create a new privilege, add a reference to an output menu item, and then add the new privilege to a role.
- B. Create a new security policy and add an output menu item. Add the new security policy to duty extension and then to a role extension.
- C. Create a new privilege extension and add an output menu item. Add the privilege to a duty extension and then to a role extension.
- D. Create a new privilege and assign it to an output menu item. Add the new privilege to a duty extension and then add the duty extension to a role.
Answer:
A D
Explanation:
Scenario: Develop necessary security permissions to view and maintain the new Vendor exclusion list functionality and
reporting. Users with maintain rights will be able to create, update, and delete the exclusion list. Permissions must be
assigned to security roles to match company security model.
The privileges are simply a way to grant permissions to an entry point, which can be services, to a duty, role, or even directly
to a user. Typically, we only add entry points to a privilege, such as menu items.
D: You can extend a Security Role or a Security Duty to add new duties/privileges to these elements.
Incorrect Answers:
C: We can't extend security privileges, we would always create a new privilege.
