Settings for Dynamics 365 for Sales Execute Snap

ETL Transformations & Data Flow

This Snap enables the following ETL operations or flows:

Extract data from the upstream Snap containing the data for performing the provided action on the Microsoft Dynamics 365 For Sales object(s).
Transform the input document into a SnapLogic-friendly JSON Document.
Load the data into the Dynamics 365 For Sales Execute Snap to perform the operation on the Microsoft Dynamics 365 For Sales object(s).

Snap Type

Dynamics 365 for Sales Execute is a Write-type Snap that executes requests to MS Dynamics 365.

Prerequisites

You must have a Dynamics 365 OAuth2 Account for Online, data to query, and access to the objects concerned.

Support

Works in Ultra Task 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 exceeds the limit of 52. We recommend that you reduce the number of concurrent requests.

Known Issues

The Execute Snap currently does not fetch schema. Currently, the user is expected to craft the upstream request body completely.

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.
