Limitations

  • The Business Central Update Snap supports a maximum Batch size of 100.

  • The Business Central Create, Update, and Delete Snaps do not support the respective operations for a few entities, such as Account, and display an exception when creating, updating, or deleting operations. Learn more about the API limitations: API documentation for Business Central.

Known Issues

  • The Company field in the Business Central Update is optional for a few entities, such as Subscriptions, and it is mandatory for the remaining entities. Therefore, if the field is left blank, the Snap displays the following error:

    Workaround: Specify the Company name for mandatory entities.

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 if 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.
