Data synchronization with user feedback

majormarcell1988

Hello,

On BC cloud I have to build a synchronization between companies. To keep it simple let's just say I have a Customer record that needs to be replicated in the other company that is triggered by an action "Sync". The tricky part is that this should tell the user whether it was successful or failed with an error message.
Normally I would use STARTSESSION but that will not have a return value.
With the latest features of BC is there anything that can be used to achieve this?

I'm thinking to build a soap service that I can call in the other company to run the update/validations and return an error message. Is this a good or a bad idea?

Thanks,
Marcell
