Automated deployment of data projects and recurring data jobs

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 6
Hello,
 
I am working on creating integrations between a partner and D365 finance and operations. These integrations are primarily data from the partner to us, by means of importing using recurring data jobs. 
 
We have multiple tiers of environments for these integrations and d365 instances.  When promoting a new integration to an upper environment data projects there are many manual steps that must be completed in the data management framework to configure the integration endpoint in D365.  This has lead to confusion and inconsistency of the job configuration and requires unwanted Production access to be able to achieve these configurations.
 
I have explored power automate and the ability to upload a template however this still requires creating the data project, creating the recurring data job, and fetching the generated enqueue id.  I am looking for a deploy able solution for these requirements
 
 
I have the same question (0)

    Hi,
    If Power Automate doesn't meet your needs, use Python to develop custom scripts or automate workflows. These scripts can programmatically create data items, configure periodic data jobs, and handle the necessary configuration during deployment.
    Best regards,
    Kevin

    There are Data entities for managing your DMF definitions, I've never found it worthwhile to put the work into automation for integration ALM, but I like the idea.
     
    In DMF take a look at and of the entities beginning "DataManagement..."
     
    e.g. 
     
    DataManagementDefinitionGroup
    DataManagementDefinitionGroupDetail
     
    You could potentially use a Logic App workflow to export packages out to a location for release, and the another to Import into the destination environment.
