Hi experts, this is really a silly question but I really would like to know your point of view, I got a requirement where the customer is going to load leads from a excel file. there is no problem to do that as you know. but the customer has it's own template and they want to load that data in lead entity. I thought ¿how to accomplish that? then came to me the next workaround. create a console app and do the logic to load excel, (The thing is that there are going to be validations that I could miss or something) and the app probably is going to live outside of dynamics(I mean that executable could be like a batch file for a scheduled task - and place in someone's computer)(and if someone accidentally found that executable... security Issues) ¿should I place that batch on Azure?... Well that all that I got to say, maybe firstly I'm doing bad in thinking on a batch integration.¿What should I do?
Hi partner,
If you are using on-premise instance, just put the console app in your server and when you need to import the lead, just run this app.
If you are using online instance, as you said, putting the batch on the azure should be more secure.
Here is the steps how to put .NET console app into the Azure.
Hope it helps.
Best Regards,
Leo
