Microsoft PL-500 Exam - Topic 2 Question 61 Discussion

Actual exam question for Microsoft's PL-500 exam

Question #: 61
Topic #: 2

You are building automations within Microsoft Power Platform for Contoso.

The automations have the following key requirements:

* A single parent automation is already configured. The automation must be used to trigger an additional child automation.

* The parent automation already exists within the ContosoAutomations solution. The existing child automation is outside of the solution.

* All automations must be deployed together.

* No dependency on physical compute environments is allowed.

You need to configure the automations.

What should you do?

AUse a connection reference.

BDelete the parent flow. Recreate it outside of the solution.

CDelete the child flow. Recreate it in the ContosoAutomations solution.

DRemove the parent flow from the ContosoAutomations solution.

Definitely need to keep everything in the same solution.

Surprised that we can't just link them without moving!

I disagree, recreating the parent flow seems unnecessary.

I’m confused about the deployment requirement. If we delete the child flow, will we still be able to deploy everything together?

Deleting the parent flow seems risky. I feel like we should keep it and find a way to integrate the child without losing the setup.

I remember a practice question where we had to recreate a flow in the same solution. Could that apply here with the child flow?

I think we might need to use a connection reference, but I'm not entirely sure how that works with the existing child automation.

Based on the requirements, I think option A, using a connection reference, is the best approach. That way I can keep the parent flow in the solution and connect to the external child flow.

I'm a bit confused on the "no dependency on physical compute environments" part. Does that mean I can't use a custom connector or something? I'll need to double-check that.

Okay, let's see. The key seems to be that the parent automation is already in the solution, but the child is not. I think using a connection reference might be the way to go.

Hmm, this looks like a tricky one. I'll need to carefully read through the requirements to make sure I understand the constraints.

Gotta love those 'no physical compute environments' requirements. Keeps things nice and cloud-y. Connection reference is the way to go, no doubt about it.

I think removing the parent flow from the ContosoAutomations solution might be the best option to maintain consistency.

I'm with Junita on this one. Deleting flows and starting from scratch? What a waste of time. Connection reference for the win!

Haha, deleting the parent flow and starting over? What is this, amateur hour? A connection reference is definitely the way to go. Efficiency is key!

Deleting and recreating the flows is such a hassle. Who wants to do all that extra work? A connection reference is clearly the best option to meet the requirements.

A connection reference seems like the way to go here. It allows you to reference the external child automation without having to recreate it in the same solution. Keeps things nice and tidy.

That's right! Using a connection reference will allow you to link the external child automation to the parent automation without having to move it into the same solution.
