Overview

You can use this Snap to delete objects in Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Sales databases.

...

Snap Type

Dynamics 365 for Sales Delete is a Write-type Snap that deletes records from Microsoft Dynamics 365.

...

  • When deleting more than one object in batches, the Batch Size ranges from 1 to 1000. This is a limitation set by Microsoft Dynamics 365.

  • Microsoft Dynamics 365 limits the number of API calls to 60,000 per minute, per user org.  This should be considered when configuring the size of any batch process.

  • The Object Type suggestions are limited to the Object Types available within the Microsoft Dynamics 365 For Sales v8.2 and v9.0. There is no current ability to suggest Custom Object Types.

Error

Error handling is a generic way to handle errors without losing data or failing the Snap execution. You can handle the errors that the Snap might encounter when running the Pipeline by choosing one of the following options from the When errors occur list under the Views tab:

  • Stop Pipeline Execution: Stops the current Pipeline execution when the Snap encounters an error.

  • Discard Error Data and Continue: Ignores the error, discards that record, and continues with the remaining records.

  • Route Error Data to Error View: Routes the error data to an error view without stopping the Snap execution.

Learn more about Error handling in Pipelines.

Field Name

Field Type

Description

Label*

Default Value: MS Dynamics 365 for Sales Delete
Example: MS Dynamics 365 for Sales Delete

String

Specify the name for the Snap. You can modify this to be more specific, especially if you have more than one of the same Snap in your Pipeline.

Object Type*

Default Value: account
Example: account

String/Expression

Specify the Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Sales object type. You can either enter the name of the object type in this field, or you can select it from the drop-down list displayed when you click the Suggest button.

ID*

Default Value: N/A
Example: 5D5F5B6A-CE6D-EA11-A812-000D3A86D7B6

String/Expression

Specify the GUID of the Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Sales Object. You can either enter the ID in this field, or you can select it from the drop-down list displayed when you click the Suggest button. 

When processing a Batch of documents, it is required that each document contains the object ID, which varies between objects; for example: accountid, contactid. The GUID from the object ID field in each document will be used to delete that object.

Batch Size

Default Value: 200
Example: 100

Integer/Expression

Specify the number of records processed in each request. Batch size range is from 1 to 1000.

Batch processing results can contain both successful and unsuccessful results.  Successful results will be written to the output view.  Unsuccessful results, along with intuitive error information will be written to the error view; therefore, it is recommended to activate the error view within the Snap.  A single unsuccessful batch processing document will not halt the batch processing, unless there is a configuration problem; in this special case, the Snap would fail with intuitive error information.

Number of Retries

Default Value: 0
Example: 1

Integer

Specify the maximum number of attempts to be made to receive a response. The request is terminated if the attempts do not result in a response. 

Retry Intervals (seconds)

Default Value: 1
Example: 5

Integer

Specify the time interval between two successive retry requests. A retry happens only when the previous attempt resulted in an exception. 

When the Snap encounters 429 error, the response includes the retry-after with <number of seconds> in the header and the Snap automatically retriesafter the specified <number of seconds>.

HTTP Header

Use this fieldset to add additional HTTP headers to pass when sending requests to the Dynamics 365 for Sales instance. For instance,

Key

Default Value: N/A
Example: Prefer

String/Expression

Specify an HTTP header key.

Value

Default Value: N/A
Example: odata.include-annotations="*"

String/Expression

Specify an HTTP header value.

Enable continue on error

Default Value: Deselected

Checkbox

Select this checkbox to enable the service to continue processing the remaining requests in a batch when an error occurs. The code continues to execute until all requests are processed. It then returns the response to the output view.

When this checkbox is deselected, the batch process errors out immediately on the first failed request. It then returns a response in the error view that includes the error message.

Snap Execution

Default Value: Execute only
Example: Validate & Execute

Dropdown list

Multiexcerpt include macro
nameExecution_Detail_Write
pageSOAP Execute

Info

For all operations (Create, Upsert, Update, Delete), the default read timeout is 10 mins.

...

For troubleshooting purposes, try performing a similar operation directly on the Microsoft Dynamics 365 console and collect the necessary data. Compare the data used in the user interface with the SnapLogic pipelines to see if there are any inconsistencies.

Error

Reason

Resolution

-2147015903

The execution time of all the incoming requests exceeded the limit of 1,200,000 milliseconds within the window of 300 seconds.

Reduce the number of concurrent requests or reduce the duration of requests (20 minutes (1200 seconds) within the window of 5 minutes) and try later.

-2147015902

The number of requests exceeded the limit of 6000 within 300 seconds.

Limit the number of requests to 6000 you make within the window of 300 seconds (5 minutes).

-2147015898

The number of concurrent requests exceeded the limit of 52.

Limit the number of concurrent requests.

Too many Requests - 429

There are too many requests sent to Dynamics 365 For Sales endpoint.

The Microsoft Dynamics 365 For Sales related Snaps, include retry-after with <number of seconds> in the response header and automatically retries when they encounter status 429 error. Therefore, wait for the retry to succeed.
