Design

• Two connectors
  A connector defines the type of connection and how to connect to the relevant data source.
• Two documents
  A document defines the data to be exchanged and its format and structure.
• One message
  A message is the carrier that transports data from a source to a target, based on the mapping as defined on the message. On the message you define:
  • The source information: the connector and document that is used for the data source.
  • The target information: the connector and document that is used for the data target.
  • The record mapping and field mapping that define which data goes where.

 

 

 

Import customers from a webshop to D365 FO. In this case, the webshop is the source and D365 FO the target.

 

 

For both the source (webshop) and the target (D365 FO) a connector and a document are required. Also, a message is required to map the source and target data.

 

 

With this concept, all integrations are set up in the same structured way. You can also reuse components. For example, if you want to export customers from D365 FO to the webshop, only a new message is required, and you can reuse the connectors and documents.
