Hi freinds, in one of recent blogs, I chalked out an integration stratgey pattern of setting up of D365F&O with Microsoft Fabric, by routing it through a DMF batch job to Azure SQL. This currrent blog talks about even a cool hack of direct integration between D365F&O and Microsoft Fabric, just harnessing Synapse Link itself -- no additional/intermeidary steps are required.


Here are the steps:

Step 1: Create a Datalake Storage account in Azure Portal, with the following settings:

 Don't forget to mark the following setting, from the advanced tab:

Click Review + create >> Create to complete the wizard to create the Storage account.

Step 2: Come to PowerApps page (https://make.powerapps.com/environments), and check if you are able to view the  Azure Synapse Link:
If not, then you have to click on More >> Discover all >> You should be able to see it as under the Data management:

Ensure that you are on the correct environment:


Step 3:
Once this is done click on Tables >> and choose Azure Fabric from the highlighted Link:

Allow it some time to spin up from the capacity planning and the following screen will load up:


Click Save connection.
Make sure that you choose the same region for your Azure Fabric as you have selected for Capacity planning for the Microsoft fabric.

Step 4: 
In the next step, you need to select the Workspace which you have created for the Microsoft Fabric:

Step-5: 
In the next step, it will create all the needful of setting up connects with Onelake and connects with Microsoft Fabric:

Step 5:
It will appear as a link as under Azure Synapse Link:

Just click on this link: it will also show up under the D365 Financed & Operations tab:
For our demo purpose, I am just selecting Item Group. Click Save and allow it some time for queuing and initial Synch.

Once completed, the data will automaticlally show under Onelake Datahub:


Whew -- that's it. Your data is now in Microsoft Fabric, without doing anything as an extra step 👲👲
What's next? Power up your BI reports, prepare Spark Jobs, route it Azure Data modelling pieplines, to analyse it further.

With that, I am taking your leave, and would come back with more ideas on Data engineering, Azure and AI/ML studios. Much love and namaste 💓💓💓
