Frequently asked Dynamics 365 integration questions
Common questions about Dynamics 365 drivers & connectors for data and analytics integration
How does the Dynamics 365 Driver work?
The Dynamics 365 driver acts like a bridge that facilitates communication between various applications and Dynamics 365, allowing the application to read data as if it were a relational database. The Dynamics 365 driver abstracts the complexities of Dynamics 365 APIs, authentication methods, and data types, making it simple for any application to connect to Dynamics 365 data in real-time via standard SQL queries.
How is using the Dynamics 365 Driver different than connecting to the Dynamics 365 API?
Working with a Dynamics 365 Driver is different than connecting with Dynamics 365 through other means. Dynamics 365 API integrations require technical experience from a software developer or IT resources. Additionally, due to the constant evolution of APIs and services, once you build your integration you have to constantly maintain Dynamics 365 integration code moving forward.
By comparison, our Dynamics 365 Drivers offer codeless access to live Dynamics 365 data for both technical and non-technical users alike. Any user can install our drivers and begin working with live Dynamics 365 data from any client application. Because our drivers conform to standard data interfaces like ODBC, JDBC, ADO.NET etc. they offer a consistent, maintenance-free interface to Dynamics 365 data. We manage all of the complexities of Dynamics 365 integration within each driver and deploy updated drivers as systems evolve so your applications continue to run seamlessly.
If you need truly zero-maintenance integration, check out connectivity to Dynamics 365 via CData Connect Cloud. With Connect Cloud you can configure all of your data connectivity in one place and connect to Dynamics 365 from any of the available Cloud Drivers and Client Applications. Connectivity to Dynamics 365 is managed in the cloud, and you never have to worry about installing new drivers when Dynamics 365 is updated.
How is a Dynamics 365 Driver different than a Dynamics 365 connector?
Many organizations draw attention to their library of connectors. After all, data connectivity is a core capability needed for applications to maximize their business value. However, it is essential to understand exactly what you are getting when evaluating connectivity. Some vendors are happy to offer connectors that implement basic proof-of-concept level connectivity. These connectors may highlight the possibilities of working with Dynamics 365, but often only provide a fraction of capability. Finding real value from these connectors usually requires additional IT or development resources.
Unlike these POC-quality connectors, every CData Dynamics 365 driver offers full-featured Dynamics 365 data connectivity. The CData Dynamics 365 drivers support extensive Dynamics 365 integration, providing access to all of the Dynamics 365 data and meta-data needed by enterprise integration or analytics projects. Each driver contains a powerful embedded SQL engine that offers applications easy and high-performance access to all Dynamics 365 data. In addition, our drivers offer robust authentication and security capabilities, allowing users to connect securely across a wide range of enterprise configurations. Compare drivers and connectors to read more about some of the benefits of CData's driver connectivity.
Is Dynamics 365 SQL based?
With our drivers and connectors, every data source is essentially SQL-based. The CData Dynamics 365 driver contains a full SQL-92 compliant engine that translates standard SQL queries into Dynamics 365 API calls dynamically. Queries are parsed and optimized for each data source, pushing down as much of the request to Dynamics 365 as possible. Any logic that can not be pushed to Dynamics 365 is handled transparently client-side by the driver/connector engine. Ultimately, this means that Dynamics 365 looks and acts exactly like a database to any client application or tool. Users can integrate live Dynamics 365 connectivity with ANY software solution that can talk to a standard database.
What data can I access with the Dynamics 365 driver?
The Dynamics 365 drivers and connectors offer comprehensive access to Dynamics 365 data. Our Dynamics 365 driver exposes static and dynamic data and metadata, providing universal access to Dynamics 365 data for any enterprise analytics or data mangement use. To explore the Dynamics 365 driver data model, please review the edition-specific Dynamics 365 driver documentation.
What does Dynamics 365 integrate with?
Using the CData Dynamics 365 drivers and connectors, Dynamics 365 can be easily integrated with almost any application. Any software or technology that can integrate with a database or connect with standards-based drivers like ODBC, JDBC, ADO.NET, etc., can use our drivers for live Dynamics 365 data connectivity. Explore some of the more popular Dynamics 365 data integrations online.
Additionally, since Dynamics 365 supported by CData Connect Cloud, we enable all kinds of new Dynamics 365 cloud integrations.
How can I enable Dynamics 365 Analytics?
