The Connector Wizard helps to generate a Cloud Application Connector Project containing the necessary resources and objects than can be used with your integration Projects. These steps take place from within the CIC Studio.
- Select Cloud Connector from the main menu.
- Select the newly created Vault entry created for this specific application (See Authentication Information - CIC Studio Auth Vault Creation. A Vault entry must exist in order to proceed.
-
Select the entities for which you want to generate the connector.
Loading the metadata information for elements to display the entities might take some time. Once the entities are displayed, the search tab can be used to filter the entities for selection.
Once the entity is selected (Selected Entities pane) it will no longer appear in the Available Entities pane for selection.
Notes:
Only 500 entities can be selected at any given time. As the number of selected entities increases the time taken to build the project also increases.The entities shown in the above screenshot are from:
Microsoft Dynamics 365 F&O version
2020 release wave 1
Product version : 10.0.12 (10.0.507.10024)
Platform version : Update36 (7.0.5688.35584) - Provide the name for the Connector Project to be created (and click Finish).
Result: Once the process completes, the Connector Project is created (see below). Application connector resources are automatically generated, mainly Business Processes and Schemas.
Each package contains object-specific Business Processes (to call the operation), and Schemas (to build Rulesets). Each Business Process has a corresponding request and response JSON Schema that can be used as part of the data transformation. You can then incorporate these resources into your overall integration solution, such as adding, updating, querying, or deleting information with MS Dynamics based on another integrated system, such as a database or flat file.
