Arcitura Education Exam S90.08B Topic 1 Question 3 Discussion

Actual exam question for Arcitura Education's S90.08B exam

Question #: 3
Topic #: 1

Refer to Exhibit.

Service A sends a message to Service B (1). After Service B writes the message contents to Database A (2), it issues a response message back to Service A (3). Service A then sends a message to Service C (4). Upon receiving this message, Service C sends a message to Service D (5), which then writes the message contents to Database B (6) and issues a response message back to Service C (7).

Service A and Service D are located in Service Inventory

AService B and Service C are located in Service Inventory B.
You are told that In this service composition architecture, all four services are exchanging invoice-related data in an XML format. However, the services in Service Inventory A are standardized to use a different XML schema for invoice data than the services in Service Inventory B. Also, Database A can only accept data in the Comma Separated Value (CSV) format and therefore cannot accept XML-formatted data. Database B only accepts XML-formatted data. However, it is a legacy database that uses a proprietary XML schema to represent invoice data that is different from the XML schema used by services in Service Inventory A or Service Inventory B.
What steps can be taken to enable the planned data exchange between these four services?

AThe Data Model Transformation pattern can be applied so that data model transformation logic is positioned between Service A and Service B, between Service C and Service D, and between the Service D logic and Database B. The Data Format Transformation pattern can be applied so that data format transformation logic is positioned between Service A and Service C, and between the Service B logic and Database A.

BThe Protocol Bridging pattern can be applied so that protocol conversion logic is positioned between the Service B logic and Database A. The Data Format Transformation pattern can be applied so that data format transformation logic is positioned between Service A and Service B, between Service A and Service C, between Service C and Service D, and between the Service D logic and Database B.

CThe Data Model Transformation pattern can be applied so that data model transformation logic is positioned between Service A and Service B, between Service A and Service C, between Service C and Service D, and between the Service D logic and Database B. The Data Format Transformation pattern can be applied so that data format transformation logic is positioned between the Service B logic and Database A.

DThe Protocol Bridging pattern can be applied so that protocol conversion logic is positioned between Service A and Service B, between Service A and Service C, and between Service C and Service D. The Data Format Transformation pattern can be applied so that data format transformation logic is positioned between the Service B logic and Database A and between the Service D logic and Database B.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C

This solution addresses the two main challenges in the service composition architecture: the different XML schema used by services in Service Inventory A and Service Inventory B, and the incompatible data formats of the two databases.

By applying the Data Model Transformation pattern, data model transformation logic can be inserted to map the invoice-related data between the different XML schemas used by the services in Service Inventory A and Service Inventory B. This can be done at the appropriate points in the message flow: between Service A and Service B, between Service A and Service C, between Service C and Service D, and between the Service D logic and Database B.

By applying the Data Format Transformation pattern, data format transformation logic can be inserted to convert the XML-formatted data used by the services to the CSV format required by Database A, and to convert the proprietary XML schema used by Database B to the XML schema used by the services. This can be done between the Service B logic and Database A.

The Protocol Bridging pattern is not necessary in this case because all services are already communicating using the same protocol (presumably HTTP or a similar protocol).
