Several months ago, I wrote a post that showed how to automatically display the results of an HTTP POST request inside a Dynamics 365 iframe. I was working on a project last week where I was tried to use that approach, but I ran into some problems, so today I will present an updated approach. »
Last week I posted an approach for generating complex text files from Dynamics 365 with KingswaySoft and XSLT that uses a custom script component to apply an XSL transformation to an XML document generated with the the SSIS XML merge component from the KingswaySoft SSIS productivity pack. After I shared that post, Daniel Cai at KingswaySoft told me the premium derived column component in the SSIS productivity pack can also be used to apply the XSL transformation. »
Recently I needed to build an SSIS package that would generate a delimited text file with multiple sets of related (but different entity) Dynamics 365 records combined in a single grouping. Each record would be on a separate row (with different formats for each record type), and each grouping of related records would have its own header and trailer rows. »
I’m a big fan of KingswaySoft’s Dynamics 365 SSIS integration toolkit for moving data between Dynamics 365 and other systems. Because the integrations are run in SSIS packages, there’s a lot of power and flexibility, and you can use SQL Server Agent to orchestrate your integration jobs. This is great for scheduled jobs, but what do you do if you need to trigger a job based on activity in Dynamics 365? »
I’ve released an updated version of my Dynamics CRM Deployment Wizard that supports Dynamics 365. The Deployment Wizard is designed to automate your solution deployments much like the SDK’s Dynamics CRM Package Deployer, but while the SDK tool requires you to build a deployment package using Visual Studio, my Deployment Wizard tool only requires you to create a simple JSON manifest file. »
