3638060 - Usage of MDRO library as part of Platinum Engineering package

As highlighted in KBA 2698916 these functions are not recommended by external use as have been developed as part of internal use cases. Many libraries will not work outside of the specific use case.

This KBA is to warn against unsupported usage of the MDRO library as can cause disruption in a productive environment.

The execution node of a Mass Data Run instance corresponds to a background job instance. There is a limit of 999,999 instances of background jobs that can be created, if you exceed this limit, you cannot create any new executions of background jobs in the system and will cause severe disruption until you manually clean up the Mass Data Run instances.

Please refrain from using the MDRO.CreateInstance() as part of the Platinum Engineering library to mass create one-time use instances. Instead review if you can achieve the requirement in another way, for example, via a Workflow Rule.
