You're creating a point-of-sale (POS) system for a customer which can associate the items in a transaction to a customer based on a membership number. The item stock table and the customer sales record are hosted elsewhere and need to be written to via POST APIs from an Appian process model. This all occurs within a transaction process model that you're creating.
Which two steps should you perform to design your process model to improve process memory? (Choose two.)
Suggested Answer: B, D

Creating the POST API calls as asynchronous subprocesses allows them to run independently, reducing memory usage in the main process.
Adding a terminate process node at the end ensures the process completes and releases memory as soon as its work is finished.

But A might not directly improve memory usage like B does.

I’m leaning towards A too. Activity-chaining helps with clarity.

Agreed! It allows the main process to continue without waiting.

I think B is the best choice. Asynchronous subprocesses save memory.

C could be risky. Synchronous might block the process.

Right, but we need to know when it’s done.

Surprised there's no mention of error handling in the options!

Definitely going with B, makes sense for memory efficiency.

Wait, why would you choose synchronous over asynchronous?

I think A is important for user experience too!

B and C are both good options for handling APIs.

I don’t think adding a terminate process node is relevant here. It seems like we should focus on how the APIs interact instead.

I’m a bit confused about the activity-chaining part. Does that really help with process memory, or is it more about user experience?

I remember a similar question where we discussed the benefits of synchronous vs asynchronous calls. I feel like asynchronous might be the way to go here.

I think we should consider using asynchronous subprocesses for the POST APIs to improve memory, but I'm not entirely sure if that's the best approach.
