In scenarios where a job executes a pipeline that makes calls to an external system, the following actions can help prevent performance issues: B. Configure a timeout for the script pipelet. Setting a timeout ensures that the job does not hang indefinitely if the external system does not respond within a reasonable timeframe. This prevents the pipeline from being blocked by a slow or non-responsive external service. D. Use asynchronous import or export jobs. Asynchronous jobs allow the main execution flow to continue without waiting for the external system's response, which can improve the overall performance of the system by not delaying other operations.
These actions are recommended within Salesforce Commerce Cloud for managing interactions with external systems efficiently, as detailed in the "Performance Best Practices" and "Asynchronous Processing" sections of the documentation.
