ETL Transformations & Data Flow

The Dynamics 365 for Sales Read Snap enables the following ETL operations/flows:

Extract data either directly from the Snap configuration or from the upstream snap containing the data for reading the MS Dynamics 365 for Sales object(s).
Transform the input document into a SnapLogic-friendly JSON Document if using an upstream snap.
Load the data into the Dynamics 365 for Sales Read snap in order to read the MS Dynamics 365 for Sales objects.

Snap Type

Dynamics 365 for Sales Read Snap is a Read-type Snap that reads records from MS Dynamics 365.

Prerequisites

None.

Support for Ultra Pipelines

Works in Ultra Pipelines. However, we recommend that you not use this Snap in an Ultra Pipeline. To know the list of Snaps that work in Ultra and the related caveats, see Snap Support for Ultra Pipelines.

Limitations

The following limitations are due to the API limitations from the Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Sales application:

The Snap fails with an error, when the number of requests exceeds 6000 within 300 seconds. We recommend that you limit the number of requests you make within 300 seconds (5 minutes). You can gradually increase the requests that reduce the retry-after duration, optimize your throughput, and minimize resource spikes on the server.
The Snap fails with an error, when the combined execution time of incoming requests exceeds the limit of 1,200,000 milliseconds within the window of 300 seconds. We recommend that you reduce the number of concurrent requests or reduce the duration of requests and try later.
The Snap fails with an error, when the number of concurrent requests exceed the limit of 52. We recommend that you reduce the number of concurrent requests.

Known Issues

When reading multiple MS Dynamics 365 for Sales objects in batches, the Batch Size ranges from 1 to 1000. This is a limitation by MS Dynamics 365 for Sales.
The object type suggestions are limited to the object types available within MS Dynamics 365 for Sales v8.2 and v9.0. There is no current ability to suggest custom object types.

Description

Input

Document

Min: 0
Max: 1

Any Snap, such as a Mapper or JSON Generator Snap, that offers a document as output.

The ID of the MS Dynamics 365 for Sales object to be read. The information can either be provided directly in the Snap or in the upstream snaps when expressions are used in the Read snap

Output

Document

Min: 1
Max: 1

None.

A document with the result set. If the Read is successful, then the output document will contain all the fields of the provided MS Dynamics 365 for Sales object(s).

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 while running the Pipeline by choosing one of the following options from the When errors occur list under the Views tab. The available options are:

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