Posted on by Bhaswanth Koka

I have a requirement, where we are moving data from ax 2012 r3 to D365. The data is exported from ax 2012 r3 and stored in Azure service bus queue as a message and a logic app will take it forward to D365 instance. To complete this task I need to know how we are pushing the data from ax 2012 to azure service bus queue. I never got to work on AIF before so a detailed explanation would really help me. I just want to understand how will be be pushing the data to Azure service bus queue.

I should export customer data, I believe there are 5-6 entities that hold customer data in ax 2012, so how exactly I should be doing this?

And will the service bus queue be able to hold that much data in a single message?

I'm not sure what you want to hear about the AIF Service Bus adapter (and I don't really know it anyway).

By the way, you may also call Azure Service Bus API by yourself, if the AIF adapter doesn't work for you. It's quite simple; here is an example in C#:

using Microsoft.ServiceBus.Messaging; var queueClient = QueueClient.CreateFromConnectionString(connectionString, queueName); var stream = ... BrokeredMessage message = new BrokeredMessage(stream); queueClient.Send(message);

Regarding data combination, it's not going to happen automatically - you'll need to implement the logic somewhere (in AX 2012, in the Logic App and in D365FO).

The maximum message size is 256 KB for Standard tier and 1 MB for Premium field. I think that 256 KB should be enough for information about a single customer. If you need more data in a single message, you can put it to another storage (e.g. a blog) and keep just a reference in the message queue.
