Microsoft MB-820 Practice Test - Questions Answers, Page 2

When developing an app for Microsoft AppSource, it is crucial to adhere to specific guidelines and standards to ensure compatibility and compliance. The three code analyzers you should activate are:

CodeCop (A): This is the default analyzer for AL language extensions. It enforces the AL Coding Guidelines, ensuring that the code follows best practices for readability, maintainability, and performance. It checks for a wide range of issues, from syntax errors to best practice violations, making it essential for any AL development.

PerTenantExtensionCop (D): This analyzer is specifically designed for extensions that are intended to be installed for individual tenants. It includes rules that ensure the extension does not interfere with the per-tenant customizations and adheres to the guidelines for extensions that can be safely installed and uninstalled without affecting the underlying application.

AppSourceCop (E): This analyzer is tailored for extensions that are intended for publication on Microsoft AppSource. It enforces additional rules that are specific to AppSource submissions, such as checking for the use of reserved object ranges and ensuring that all prerequisite dependencies are correctly declared. This is crucial for ensuring that your app meets all the requirements for listing on AppSource.

By activating these three analyzers, developers can ensure their app adheres to the standards required for AppSource, as well as maintain high code quality and compatibility with Business Central.

When developing an app for Microsoft AppSource, it is essential to use an object range that is specifically designated by Microsoft to avoid conflicts with other apps and the base application. The correct object range to use is:

An object range within the range of 70000000 to 74999999 that is requested from Microsoft (D): This range is reserved for AppSource apps. Developers need to request this range from Microsoft to ensure that the objects used in their extension do not conflict with those used by other extensions or by the base application. Using this reserved range helps maintain the integrity and compatibility of extensions published on AppSource.

It's important to note that the other ranges mentioned (A, B, C, and E) are not suitable for apps intended for AppSource. Ranges 50000 to 59999 and 50000 to 99999 are typically reserved for per-tenant customizations or partner solutions, not for distribution on AppSource. The standard range 1 to 49999 is reserved for the base application objects, and using an object range divided by countries (C) is not a standard practice for AppSource apps.

In a single-tenant deployment architecture of Business Central on-premises, the following characteristics describe how the data is stored and how the Business Central Server is configured:

The application and the business data are stored in the same database (B): In a single-tenant architecture, each tenant (which typically corresponds to a single customer) has its own dedicated database. This database contains both the application objects (such as pages, reports, codeunits, etc.) and the business data (such as customer, vendor, and transaction records). This setup ensures that each tenant's data is isolated and can be managed independently.

The application and business data are stored in separate databases (D): While (B) is a characteristic of a single-tenant deployment, it's important to clarify that in some configurations, the application objects can be stored in a separate database from the business data. This approach can be used for easier maintenance and upgrades of the application code without affecting the business data. However, each tenant still has its own set of databases, maintaining the single-tenancy model.

The other options provided do not accurately describe a single-tenant architecture:

Each customer has their own Business Central Server (A): This statement might be misleading. In a single-tenant deployment, while each customer has their own database, they do not necessarily have their own Business Central Server instance. Multiple databases (tenants) can be hosted on a single server instance, although they are not shared across customers.

Multiple customers share a single Business Central Server (C) and Multiple customers share multiple Business Central Server instances (E): These options describe a multi-tenant architecture rather than a single-tenant one. In a multi-tenant setup, multiple customers (tenants) can share the same server instance and even the same application database, with data isolation ensured at the application level.

When updating the base application table using a table extension in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, certain properties of table fields can be modified to meet new requirements, such as regulatory changes. The DecimalPlaces property (B) is one such property that can be adjusted in a table extension. This property determines the number of decimal places that are displayed and stored for decimal fields in the table. Adjusting the DecimalPlaces property can be particularly useful when dealing with financial data and tax calculations that require precision to meet new tax tiers set by a regulator. It's important to note that not all properties can be modified in a table extension; for example, the CalcFormula property (A) cannot be changed as it affects how the field's value is calculated, which could have significant implications on the base application's logic.
