Ausführen von Bootstrap mit Unternehmensdaten – FAQ
Hinweis
Gültig ab November 2020:
- Common Data Service wurde in Microsoft Dataverse umbenannt. Weitere Informationen finden Sie unter Power Automate-Blog.
- Einige Begriffe in Microsoft Dataverse wurden aktualisiert. Beispielsweise ist Entität jetzt Tabelle und Feld Säule. Weitere Informationen finden Sie unter Terminologie-Aktualisierungen.
Dieses Thema wird in Kürze aktualisiert, um die neueste Terminologie widerzuspiegeln.
Warum benötige ich Bootstrapping?
Sie verfügen möglicherweise über eine vorhandene Dataverse- oder andere Dynamics 365-App-Instanz mit Geschäftsdaten und möchten die Verbindung für duales Schreiben für diese aktivieren. In diesem Fall müssen Sie ein Bootstrap für Daten in Dataverse oder anderen Dynamics 365-Apps mit Unternehmensinformationen ausführen, bevor Sie die Verbindung für duales Schreiben aktivieren.
Wann sollte Bootstrapping verwendet werden?
Sie sollten Bootstrapping verwenden, bevor Sie Tabellenzuordnungen für duales Schreiben aktivieren (in Schritt 5).
Um die Verbindung für duales Schreiben zwischen Instanzen der Finance and Operations-App und Dataverse oder einer anderen Dynamics 365-App einzurichten, melden Sie sich bei der Finance and Operations-App als Administrator an.
Wechseln Sie zum Modul Datenverwaltung, und klicken Sie auf die Schaltfläche Duales Schreiben. Dadurch wird Data Integrator gestartet.
Stellen Sie die Verbindung für duales Schrieben für mindestens ein Unternehmen her.
Aktivieren Sie die Tabellenzuordnung Cdm_companies. Dies synchronisiert Unternehmen aus der Finance and Operations-App zu Dataverse.
Führen Sie den Beispielbootstrappingcode auf der Dataverse- oder einer anderen Dynamics 365-App-Instanz aus.
Nachdem das Bootstrapping abgeschlossen und das System für die Live-Synchronisierung bereit ist, aktivieren Sie die Tabellenzuordnungen.
Durch die Aktivierung von Tabellenzuordnungen wird die Erstsynchronisierung der Daten für die aktivierten Tabellenzuordnungen ausgelöst. Die Daten, die den über die Verbindung für duales Schreiben ausgewählten Unternehmen entsprechen, werden zwischen der Finance and Operations-App und Dataverse synchronisiert.
Wie verwende ich das Codebeispiel?
Der Beispielcode ist eine C#-Anwendung, die Sie in Visual Studio laden können. Es werden NuGet-Paketabhängigkeiten im Dataverse SDK verwendet, die Sie durch standardmäßige Visual Studio-Tools aktualisieren können.
Nachdem Sie die Lösung in Visual Studio entzippt und geöffnet und die NuGet-Pakete wiederhergestellt haben, suchen Sie im Code nach TODO. Jede Entscheidung, die Sie zur Art und Weise der Ausführung von Bootstrapping für Unternehmensinformationen treffen müssen, wird durch ein TODO mit Beispielcode für eine kanonische Implementierung gekennzeichnet.
Der Beispielcode zeigt nur eine von vielen Methoden zum Kategorisieren von Entitätszeilen nach Unternehmen. Wenn Sie die Logik in den TODO-Abschnitten ändern, können Sie Ihre benutzerdefinierte Kategorisierung erstellen.
Was sollte ich erwarten?
Mit der Beispielanwendung können Sie standardmäßig ein Wörterbuch mit Zuordnungen zwischen Geschäftseinheiten und Unternehmenscodes bereitstellen. Jede Entität, für die Sie Bootstrapping mit dem Feld OwningBusinessUnit ausführen, wird automatisch für die Verwendung des angegebenen Unternehmens festgelegt. Jede Entität ohne das Feld OwningBusinessUnit, z. B. Produkt, legt das Unternehmen basierend auf der Zuordnung mit einem leeren Unternehmenseinheitswert fest.
Die Konsolenanwendung erwartet einen Parameter, entweder –simulate oder –apply. Wenn Sie den Befehlszeilenparameter – simuliert werden verwenden, werden keine Daten aktualisiert. Nur simulation_.csv-Dateien werden im selben Verzeichnis wie das Tool generiert, eine für jede Entität, die aktualisiert worden wäre. Sie können diese Dateien während der Arbeit iterativ überprüfen, um sicherzustellen, dass der Code die Unternehmenswerte wie erwartet aktualisiert.
Verwenden Sie den –apply-Parameter, wenn Sie die simulierten Aktualisierungen abgeschlossen haben. Dadurch werden alle Zeilen, die aktuell einen falschen Unternehmenswert aufweisen, in Stapeln von 1.000 Zeilen gleichzeitig (standardmäßig) aktualisiert. Der Code ist wie angegeben idempotent, d. h. Sie können ihn erneut ausführen, sodass nur die falsch zugeordneten Unternehmen aktualisiert werden. Bei Ausführung mit –apply gibt der Code CSV-Dateien der vorgenommenen Änderungen aus, die als applied_.csv bezeichnet werden.
