Dual-write key concepts

  • 4 minutes

Consider the key concepts for dual-write as divided into two distinct sections.

The first section relates to the dual-write infrastructure, which provides near real-time experience and is extensible and reliable. You can accomplish this type of infrastructure through several features, such as:

  • Live sync

  • Play/Pause/Catchup

  • Ability to sync initial data

  • Consolidated view of activity and error logs

  • Alerts and thresholds

  • Intuitive user interface

  • Viewable entity dependencies and relations

  • Customizable, out-of-the-box maps

  • Support of custom entities and maps

  • Solution awareness

  • Reliable application lifecycle management (ALM)

The second section of features relates to the application and functional support scenarios:

  • Out-of-the-box setup experience through Microsoft Dynamics 365 Lifecycle Services

  • 100+ out-of-the-box entity maps

  • Enhanced currency functions

  • Company and party Dataverse concepts

  • Exposure to finance and tax data

  • Advanced pricing and available inventory functions

  • Multiple master customers and vendors with multiple addresses

  • Integration procure-to-pay and prospect-to-cash scenarios

  • Integration assets, financial dimensions, activities, and notes

  • Project-to-cash scenarios

These features demonstrate the out-of-the-box experience, the effort to enhance Dataverse to the enterprise resource planning (ERP) scale, and the seamless process orchestrations that are available in dual-write functionality.
