Overview

You can use the Dynamics 365 Business Central Search Snap to search for the required data for a specific entity.

The Business Central Search Snap works as expected when passing values from upstream Snaps for fields such as Entity, Start page number and Max page number, and does not support upstream values for the Timeout, Number of retries, and Retry interval fields.

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.
