For each task, you can define several messages. If you run a task, all defined messages are run.
1. | Click Connectivity studio Integration Design. |
2. | Click Tasks. |
3. | In the list, find and select the desired task. |
4. | Expand the Messages section. |
5. | Click New. |
6. | In the Message field, enter or select a value. |
  |
Note: |
7. | On import, usually, the target company is defined by the target connector of the message. You can overrule this target company here. |
  | In the Target company ID field, enter or select a value. |
8. | For each message, you can choose one of these actions: - Undefined: A decision must be made to run or skip the message. - Run: If the task is run, the message is run. - Skip: If the task is run, the message is not run. |
  | In the Action field, select an option. |
9. | Sometimes, you want to import only the delta, which are the changes since the last import. Example: During a migration project, often, some time elapses between the migration of the data and the go-live moment. Therefore, just before the go-live moment, you want to import the latest open transactions. However, you do not want to run the full migration again (see picture). In Connectivity studio, you can do a delta run. To do a delta run: - For a task, add the applicable messages with the Run for delta field set to Run. - When you start the project run, on the dialog, set the Delta run field to Yes. As a result, if a task is run, only the messages are run that have the Run for delta field set to Run. When a message is run in a delta run, only the record inserts are done. So, no update or delete of records is done. |
  | In the Run for delta field, select an option. |
10. | You can define a source connector for a task message. This source connector overrules the source connector of the message. In this way, you can use one message to: - Import data into D365 F&SCM from several sources. - Export data from several D365 F&SCM companies. So, no separate message is required for each of the sources. Example: Several sources provide item information to D365 F&SCM. Each source places the data files in a separate storage. The file content structure is the same for each source. In this case, using different source connectors for task messages, you can import this item data into D365 F&SCM with the same message. |
  | In the Source connector field, enter or select a value. |

Note: To apply a task message source connector: |
11. | You can define a target connector for a task message. This target connector overrules the target connector of the message. In this way, you can use one message to: - Export data from D365 F&SCM to several targets. - Import data to several D365 F&SCM companies. So, no separate message is required for each of the targets. Example: D365 F&SCM provides item information to several targets. For each target, the data files are placed in a separate storage. The file content structure is the same for each target. In this case, using different target connectors for task messages, you can export this item data from D365 F&SCM with the same message. |
  | In the Target connector field, enter or select a value. |
