Configuring Microsoft Dynamics AX Accounts [Deprecated]

On this Page

You can create an account from Designer or Manager. In Designer, when working on pipelines, every Snap that needs an account prompts you to create a new account or use an existing account. The accounts can be created in or used from:

  • Your private project folder: This folder contains the pipelines that will use the account.
  • Your Project Space’s shared folder: This folder is accessible to all the users that belong to the Project Space.
  • The global shared folder: This folder is accessible to all the users within an organization in the SnapLogic instance.

Account Configuration

In Manager, you can navigate to the required folder and create an account in it (see Accounts). To create an account for binary files:

  • Click Create, then select MS Dynamics AX, then the Dynamics AX NTLM account type.
  • Supply an account label.
  • Supply the necessary information.

  • (Optional) Supply additional information on this account in the Notes field of the Info tab.
  • Click Apply.

Configuring plex for On-Premises Account

The prerequisite to using an on-premise Dynamics AX instance by their hostname instead of IP address on Snaplex node is to add their IP hostname mappings to hosts file.

 Example:  40.09.469.296  and op11sl-sample-1.crm-snaplogic.com (IP address and Hostname respectively)

Avoid changing account credentials while pipelines using them are in progress. This may lead to unexpected results, including locking the account.

Note the dynamic accounts for the Dynamics AX NTLM Account are available, however, the values can be passed using the pipeline parameters.

4.19 Patch msdynamicsax8376 Latest

The MS Dynamics AX Snaps have a Library API field. When the selected value is the non-default HTTP Components, there was a breaking change in the structure of the output response document between 4.19 GA version (snapsmrc528) and the latest patch version (msdynamicsax8376). 

We recommend that if you want to use the non-default (non-CXF) value for Library API, then you must use this latest patch version as subsequent GA releases may result in Pipeline executions failing. 

If your current or new Pipelines use CXF as the Library API value, or do not handle SOAP response bodies greater than 1000 lines, or do not rely on NTLM authentication, then you can continue using your existing Snap Pack version (stable distribution – snapsmrc528).
