Dual-write table mappings: copy to other environments

By Adrià Ariste Santacreu 27 July, 2021

In a past post, we learned how to create custom data entities to be used in Dual-write.

And now you might be asking yourself, how do I move the Dual-write table mappings to a test or production environment from the development environment? Do I need to repeat everything I’ve done on the dev machine in a Sandbox environment?

Fortunately, we don’t need to do it all manually again, we can use a Dataverse solution to copy the Dual-write table mappings between environments.

If you want to learn more about Dual-write you can:

Read the docs which have plenty of information. Read the docs. Always.

Watch some of Faisal Fareed‘s sessions about Dual-write: DynamicsCon 2020: The Power of Dual-write or Scottish Summit 2021: D365 FO integration with Dataverse – Dual write, Virtual Entities, OR Data Integrator. He’s got some more which you can find on Youtube.

Execute Dynamics 365 OData actions as Dataverse actions using Virtual Entities

By Adrià Ariste Santacreu 22 September, 2020

Since Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations version 10.0.12 we’ve been able to use FnO (public) data entities as Dataverse Virtual Entities. This will allow us to create model-driven Power Apps for Finance and Operations entities without having to copy data between Finance and Operations and Dataverse. This opens a lot of scenarios and new ways of integrating MSDyn365FO with Customer Engagement.

If you want to learn more about setting up the Virtual Entities for FnO you can:

Read the blog post about configuring Virtual Entities from Aurélien Clere where he describes all the steps and you’ll be able to find more information about Dataverse integrations with Finance and Operations.

Workflow approvals in Teams using adaptive cards

By Adrià Ariste Santacreu 3 September, 2020

In today’s post I’m going to use the Power Platform and business events to show you how to take the Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations Workflow approvals outside MSDyn365FO.

How? Using business events, power automate and adaptive cards to display nice messages in Microsoft Teams.

If you want to know more about using business events in Dynamics 365 you can check these posts from Juan Antonio Tomás:

1 2 3 Power mime!

By Adrià Ariste Santacreu 29 March, 2020

We’re heading into the third week staying home, and with some weeks more ahead of us we need some entertainment.

Last week Eva asked me if we could create an app using the Power Platform to play mime games remotely with my colleagues at Axazure. She’d design it graphically and functionally and I’d (no) code it. And that’s what we did!

Invent counting with AI Builder

This past weekend I’ve attended my third 365 Saturday, this time in Barcelona, as a speaker. As you can see in the post title my session has been about creating inventory counting journals using AI with the Power Platform.
