Quiz Question Accessing Data in an Application / Data Page Scope
Hi,
Can someone explain why the answer is as follows on the following question? Thanks.
When we are defining a data page that displays a list of all products that the company can sell, what is the scope in which it is defined? (Choose One)
Only on a requestor
Only on the thread level to list it on the case where product list is used (Correct Answer)
On the node irrespective of the applications used in the node
Only on the case where product list is getting updated

There are 3 scopes, from the largest to the most specific and in that order: node, requestor, thread.
Node level pages are typically used where information are applicable to every application on the specific node of the PRPC server. Example: Organisation's Name
Requestor level pages are typically used where information are applicable to every application that the requestor have access to. Example: Requestor's Name
Thread level pages are typically used where information are applicable only to that specific thread, i.e. application. Example: Product's Name
Now, granted if the product list is used between multiple application accessible by a requestor, it can be at the Requestor scope. Taking it further, if the product list is used Organisation-wide, it can be at the Node level!
However, this question does not make these assumptions and therefore the answer is as such.
