I started this blog in February 2019 and it’s just reached the 50.000 visits milestone, over 40.000 during the last 12 months! Thanks to everybody that has visited it, commented, shared, or written to me. I really like receiving feedback from people reading what I write. And as you must’ve noticed I’ve also changed the theme of the blog. A big thanks to Eva González for her help, the new logo, all the new images,…

Some time ago I published the first version of ISV License Generator to help us generate a license for a Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations ISV solution, using a CSP cryptographic USB token instead of a software certificate.

With the new ISV License Generator version 0.2 I’ve implemented support for SHA-2/SHA-256 while keeping support for SHA-1 until it’s deprecated.

You can download ISV License Generator v0.2 (read below for version 0.3!) and contribute or check the code in Github.

We’re finally getting a throttling functionality for OData integrations!

It’s one of the most common requirements from a customer: the need to integrate Dynamics 365 with other systems. With the (back in the day) new AX7 we got a new way of integrating using the OData REST endpoint and the exposed Data Entities.

But integrations using the OData endpoints have low performance and for high-volume integrations, it’s better to use the Data management package REST API. A (not so) high volume usage of the OData REST API will translate into performance issues.

The throttling functionality is in preview starting version 10.0.13 which is currently in PEAP. It will be enforced starting April 2021. You can join the Data Management, Data Entities, OData, and Integrations Yammer group for more info. Remember you need to join the Insider Program for Dynamics 365 first to be able to access the Yammer group.

During the past week I attended the Microsoft Business Applications Summit (MBAS). It was my first time in an event like this and the experience has been wonderful and intense (and tiring). The event took place from Sunday to Tuesday and traveling from Madrid to Atlanta and back, including a 5 hour delay in Toronto and a 6 hour layover in Newark, in just 5 days was exhausting. The event’s organization has been really really…
