Table of Contents

Question

You are migrating data into Dataverse tables using the Dataverse SDK for .NET. You use the methods in IOrganizationService.

The migration fails with an error that was caused by too many requests within 300 seconds.

You need to resolve this error and enable the migration to complete.

What are two possible ways to achieve this goal? Each correct answer presents a complete solution.

Select all answers that apply.

A. Purchase additional Microsoft Power Platform licenses.
B. Using ExecuteTransaction to batch the IOrganizationService methods.
C. Add Task.Delay using the Retry-After value in the OrganizationServiceFault.ErrorDetails.
D. Replace IOrganizationService with Xrm.Tooling.Connector.CrmServiceClient.

Answer

C. Add Task.Delay using the Retry-After value in the OrganizationServiceFault.ErrorDetails.
D. Replace IOrganizationService with Xrm.Tooling.Connector.CrmServiceClient.

Explanation

This item tests the candidate’s knowledge of implementing API limit retry policies.

The too many requests within 300 seconds exception is caused by the service protection limits that are implemented by Microsoft to protect the service from other users performing abnormal loads on the platform. You can handle this exception by trapping the OrganizationServiceFault fault exception and then retrying the request after the delay specified by the Retry-After timespan value in the OrganizationServiceFault.ErrorDetails. You can also handle the error by replacing IOrganizationService with CrmServiceClient in the Xrm.Tooling.Connector that handles service protection limit exceptions and automatically retries after the Retry-After time period.

Additional licenses may increase the number of API entitlements but will not change the system-wide service protection limits. Using ExecuteTransaction to batch requests will not prevent service protection limits from being breached by the migration.
