Case Study 7 - Northwind Traders Background Northwind Traders uses Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales to manage its sales process. To better understand its customers, Northwind Traders invests in a team of researchers who gather data from multiple sources. The company stores the data it collects in a Microsoft Azure SQL Database. The company plans to use the data to enrich account records and make the sales team more effective. Current environment Environment - The company has three Microsoft Power Platform environments with Dynamics 365 Sales installed. The environments are named development, test, and production. - Each environment has an application user that can be used for integrations. - The company must use solutions to perform all customization and configuration deployment. Data - Researchers are responsible for creating account records. - Researchers have permissions on the Account table to create records, read all records, and update records they own. - A synchronous plug-in runs when an account record is created and could reassign the record to a different user. - Users must access data as themselves to enforce security and audit changes. - A column named new_dataid is added to the Account table. The column uniquely identifies which data it should receive. - Researchers have researched only the top 20 percent of account records. Web API - The company creates an Azure Function to run a RESTful .NET Web API. - Data can be retrieved by placing a GET request to the URL
https://dataservice- [ENVIRONMENTNAME].azurewebsites.net/enrich/[DATAID]. - [ENVIRONMENTNAME] is the name of the Microsoft Power Platform environment that requests the data. - [DATAID] is the new_dataid column in the Account table. • The Web API response will return a 200 response plus data if the DataId is found. Otherwise, a 404 response is returned. • Developers plan to create a custom connector from the Web API to make it accessible from Microsoft Power Platform. Requirements Custom connector - The Web API definition used to create the custom connector must be generated based on a low-code technology. - The URL used by the custom connector must incorporate the current environment name without hardcoding values. - Errors generated by the custom connector must not cause downstream processes to fail. - Text descriptions and field placeholder text that describe the use of the custom connector must appear for non-developers. Process - All account records must be updated with data from the Web API once automatically. - Only account records that contain a DataId should be updated by the Web API. - Researchers must create Power Automate flows to specify data analysis priority. - The researchers require a process that repurposes a set of identical steps of parameterized Microsoft Dataverse queries from a Power Automate flow for use in other flows that have different parameters. The researchers want to avoid recreating the steps manually each time they create a flow to save time and avoid errors. Issues - A tester attempts to connect to the production instance of the Web API with a DataId that should return data. The tester receives an error stating that the remote name could not be resolved. - A missing component causes an error to occur when importing the solution that contains the Power Automate flow to update account records in a test environment. You need to determine which component to add to the solution to resolve the account records import error. Which component should you add?
