NEW QUESTION # 41
You're maintaining a client's case management system.
The client needs you to review the performance of one of their interfaces as it is perceived to be quite slow The interface is a start form that users use to edit party records in the system. They can edit these party records either through the participant view of the case record or directly through the party record.
Given a party record may consist of many attributes, Custom Data Types (CDT) have been used for the purpose of writing to the database, while record types have been used to retrieve data.
What might be a potential cause for this issue, and what should you do?

  • A. The user should only query and edit the attributes they are intending to edit. Hence, you should restrict editing through the case record and users should only edit the party through the party record
  • B. The queries may no! be performant due to unexpected indexing conditions or be casting to the incorrect CDT. Hence, you should review the queries and adjust accordingly.
  • C. CDTs are an inefficient method for writing to the database Hence, you should refactor the entire process to utilize records only
