Arcitura Education S90.09 Exam - Topic 2 Question 16 Discussion

Actual exam question for Arcitura Education's S90.09 exam

Question #: 16
Topic #: 2

Service A is a task service that is required to carry out a series of updates to a set of databases in order to complete a task. To perform the database updates Service A must interact with three other services, each of which provides standardized data access capabilities. Service A sends its first update request message to Service B (1), which then responds with a message containing a success or failure code (2). Service A then sends its second update request message to Service C (3), which also responds with a message containing a success or failure code (4). Finally, Service A sends a request message to Service D (5), which responds with its own message containing a success or failure code (6).

You've been asked to change this service composition architecture in order to fulfill a set of new requirements: First, if the database update performed by Service B fails, then it must be logged by Service A . Secondly, if the database update performed by Service C fails, then a notification email must be sent out to a human administrator. Third, if the database update performed by either Service C or Service D fails, then both of these updates must be reversed so that the respective databases are restored back to their original states. What steps can be taken to fulfill these requirements?

AService A is updated to perform a logging routine when Service A receives a response message from Service B containing a failure code. Service A is further updated to send an e-mail notification to a human administrator if Service A receives a response message from Service C containing a failure code. The Atomic Service Transaction pattern is applied so that Services A, C, and D are encompassed in the scope of a transaction that will guarantee that if the database updates performed by either Service C or Service D fails, then both updates will be rolled back.

BThe Compensating Service Transaction pattern is applied to Service B so that it invokes exception handling logic that logs failed database updates before responding with a failure code back to Service A . Similarly, the Compensating Service Transaction pattern is applied to Service C so that it issues an e-mail notification to a human administrator when a database update fails. The Atomic Service Transaction pattern is applied so that Services A, C, and D are encompassed in the scope of a transaction that will guarantee that if the database updates performed by either Service C or Service D fails, then both updates will be rolled back. The Service Autonomy principle is further applied to Service A to ensure that it remains consistently available to carry out this sequence of actions.

CThe Atomic Service Transaction pattern is applied so that Services A, C, and D are encompassed in the scope of a transaction that will guarantee that if the database updates performed by either Service C or Service D fails, then both updates will be rolled back. The Compensating Service Transaction pattern is then applied to all services so that the scope of the compensating transaction includes the scope of the atomic transaction. The compensating exception logic that is added to Service D automatically invokes Service B to log the failure condition and Service C to issue the e-mail notification to the human administrator. This way, it is guaranteed that the compensating logic is always executed together with the atomic transaction logic.

DNone of the above.

I think one advantage of model-driven telemetry is the efficient use of bandwidth. It's something we've covered in practice questions before.
