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.

Field Name	Field Type	Field Dependency	Description

Field Name	Field Type	Field Dependency	Description
Label* Default Value: Dynamics 365 Finance and SCM Bulk Export Example: Finance and SCM Bulk Export	String	N/A	Specify a unique 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.
Integration type Default Value: DMF package API Example: Recurring integrations API	Dropdown list	N/A	Specify the type of import API. The available options are: DMF package API: Data Management Framework's package (REST API) enables you to integrate data using data packages. Recurring integrations API: Enables the exchange of documents or files between finance and operations and any third-party application or service.
Operation Default Value: Trigger Export Example: Generate Export	Dropdown list	Appears when the Integration type* is DMF package API.*	Select one of the operations. The available options are: Trigger Export Generate Export Trigger and Generate Export The document view is the mandatory output view for Trigger Export. The binary view is the mandatory output view for both Generate Export and Trigger and Generate Export.
Package name Default Value: N/A Example: ssapa_exchange_rates	String/Expression	Appears when the Operation is Trigger Export or Trigger And Generate Export.	Specify the name of the exported data package. This field is mandatory when you select Trigger Export as the Operation.
Definition group ID Default Value: N/A Example: ssapa_exchange_rates	String/Expression	Appears when Operation* is* Trigger Export or Trigger And Generate Export.	Specify the name of the export data project. This field is mandatory when you select Trigger Export as the Operation.
Execution ID Default Value: None Example: `ExportPackage-12/7/2023 05:32:34 am`	String/Expression	Appears when Operation* is* Generate Export.	Specify the ID to use for the bulk export job. This field is referred to as the Job ID in the Finance and SCM application UI. This field is a mandatory field if you select Generate Export as the Operation.

Activity ID Default Value: N/A Example:	String/Expression	Appears when Integration type* is -* Recurring integrations API.	Specify the activity ID. Learn more about how to obtain the activity ID: Recurring integrations - Finance & Operations \| Dynamics 365 This field is mandatory when you choose Recurring integrations API as the Integration type.
Job status check interval (seconds) Default Value: 5 Example: 10	Integer/Expression	Appears when Operation* is -* Generate Export or Trigger And Generate Export.	Specify the amount of time between job status check requests.
Timeout (seconds) Default Value: 60 Example: 100	Integer/Expression	N/A	Specify the connection and response timeout for the requests made to the server.
Number of retries Default Value: 0 Example: 5	Integer/Expression	N/A	Specify the maximum number of retry attempts between failures. If the value for this field is 0, retries are disabled.
Retry interval (seconds) Default Value: 1 Example: 10	Integer/Expression	N/A	Specify the amount of time between retry attempts.
Snap Execution Default Value: Validate & Execute Example: Execute only	Dropdown list	N/A	Select one of the following three modes in which the Snap executes: Validate & Execute: Performs limited execution of the Snap, and generates a data preview during Pipeline validation. Subsequently, performs full execution of the Snap (unlimited records) during Pipeline runtime. Execute only: Performs full execution of the Snap during Pipeline execution without generating preview data. Disabled: Disables the Snap and all Snaps that are downstream from it.

Troubleshooting

Error	Reason	Resolution

Error	Reason	Resolution
`Output view is missing`	Document/Binary output view is not enabled.	Ensure to enable the document/binary output view.
`Error while executing the request`	401: Unauthorized	Ensure that the specified account is valid and retry.
`Export job with Execution ID: null is not completed. The status is: Executing`.	Exceeded 100 check API calls.	Adjust the job status check interval for long-running jobs and retry.

Examples

Export files from Finance and Operations application using DMF Package API

This example pipeline below demonstrates how to export the files in bulk from the Finance and Operations application.

Download this Pipeline.

Step 1: Configure the Dynamics 365 Finance and SCM Bulk Export Snap with DMF Package API as the Integration type and Trigger Export as the Operation to initiate the bulk export job.

Step 2: Configure the Dynamics 365 Finance and SCM Bulk Export Snap with Package name, Definition group ID, and Legal entity fields which are mandatory to configure for Trigger Export operation.

Step 3: Configure the Mapper Snap with the value from the upstream Snap to pass as the Execution ID to the downstream Snap to generate the export.

The document view is the mandatory output view for Trigger Export operation.

Step 4: Configure the downstream Dynamics 365 Finance and SCM Bulk Export Snap with Generate Export as the Operation as follows:

Step 5: Validate the pipeline. On validation, the export is successful and the Snap displays the exported information in the binary output view.

The binary view is the mandatory output view for Generate Export operation.

Alternatively, you can use the Trigger and Generate Export as the Operation in the Dynamics 365 Finance and SCM Bulk Export Snap.

Export files from Finance and Operations application using Recurring Integrations API

This example pipeline below demonstrates how to export the files in bulk from the Finance and Operations application using the Recurring integrations API. You must use the Recurring integration API when you want to perform a recurring data job.

Download this pipeline.

Step 1: Configure the Integration type as Recurring integrations API in the Dynamic 365 Finance and SCM Bulk Export Snap.

Step 2: Configure the Activity ID, which is the mandatory field for this integration type.

Step 3: Validate the pipeline. On validation, the export job completion status is displayed with the activity ID.
