Good Morning,

Hope all are fine.

I am trying to integrate D365FO with google store.

Please guide me which one should I follow (Custom service,Custom service in json ,Custom service in soap, Odata Services,External web service).

I searched a lot.But I do not get any solution.

Experts please show some light on this.

Regards.

Have a great day.

    OData is ideal unless for any backward compatibility custom services are needed.

    "To integrate" can mean pretty much anything, therefore it's not sufficient to pick a particular tool. You would have to tell us more about your requirements, both functional and non-functional. If you don't know anything more at the moment, you're not in a situation to design the solution - what you need is gathering and analyzing requirements.

    Please correct me if my understanding is wrong..

    You want to integrate D365FO with Google Store, Means services are hosted on Google store and you are at consumer end? if yes then let me know why you are creating custom service?  

    Again correct me if me understanding is wrong?

    Hi,

    The requirement is there are some files (.csv ) in google storage.

    We have to fetch those files and create customers (stored files are related to customers).

    Hi AX2012 R3

    Means you need read (.CSV) from google storage and then create customer? If My understanding is correct then to achieve this you have to write Web service consumer logic, which you can write in C# or in X++ and then easily create customer as per your requirement.

    AS Martin Dráb Said, First clear complete business requirement then perform some technical analysis to develop good technical solution.

    D365FO already has a feature for importing CSV files, therefore I consider this part sorted.

    Then the question is how you can get the file there; I see two options.

    One is using an application running in your system. For example, you may download the file by a script and let the Recurring Integration Scheduler to push it to D365FO. Or you can develop a single application for getting the file and pushing it to D365FO via web services (packages API) 

    The other approach would be customizing D365FO to be able to download the file on its own.

    By the way, I'm not sure what you mean by google storage. Could Storage, most likely? Or Google Drive?

    "you can develop a single application for getting the file and pushing it to D365FO via web services (packages API) "

    Please I think this will be good approach

    Please show some example or some checklists to follow to complete this.

    Google Storage - cloud.google.com/storage

    Here is the original documentation and C# sample as well. You can write logic in C# and can use in D365FO to create customer.

    cloud.google.com/.../libraries

    More sample especially this one  (Download Object from Google Cloud Storage)

    www.example-code.com/.../gCloudStorage.asp

    Hi sohail,

    "You can write logic in C# and can use in D365FO to create customer."

    For this I must create class library and build and use that dll. Is that correct?

    Please rectify this point.

    Okay, so you indeed mean Cloud Storage. To learn how you can use from your applications, Cloud Storage > Documentation > Cloud Storage Client Libraries looks like a good starting point. Nevertheless simply creating a Powershell script downloading files from Cloud Storage may be easier.

    I suggest you don't try to implement pushing to D365FO, because the Recurring Integration Scheduler can do it for you. It seems you'll have enough work even without developing this thing by yourself.
