High-risk scenarios

• 4 minutes

Consider the following high-risk scenarios:

• Using only synchronous integrations (custom services or OData calls) where no explicit requirement has been established for it.
  • Risk - Unable to scale
  • Risk - Unaccounted side issues (for example, timeouts or UI blocks)
  • Risk - Unwanted availability dependencies
• You can create custom services in X++ for all integrations (for example, writing X++ code to create an XML file when Data Management Framework could be a viable alternative).
  • Risk - Technical debt, high maintenance efforts
  • Risk - Moving away from the roadmap and standard improvements
• Avoiding the use of middleware because of a perceived increased complexity of maintaining an extra system in the landscape.
• Handling large volumes of data import with an Excel add-in.
• Reinventing the wheel or developing something that’s already been done (for example, creating a custom event emission framework instead of using business events).
