Sync Framework to update external database

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by ozkary

Has anyone use Microsoft Sync framework to sync updates from a CRM application to an external SQL Server database? The tables on the external database do not have the same schema and only a subset of data needs to be published to the external database.

What other approach would you take?

thanks.

    Hi,

    I looked into this a while back, and the effort is considerably.

    It may be better depending on your situation to use one of the following:

    1. Scribe - pinpoint.microsoft.com/.../scribe-online-for-microsoft-dynamics-crm-2011-4294968340

    2. www.simego.com/.../Data-Synchronisation-Studio

    3. SQL Server Transaction Replication  (OnPrem) - www.microsoft.com/.../details.aspx

    4. Azure Service Bus integration - msdn.microsoft.com/.../gg334766.aspx

    Thanks for all those links. Apart from the replication approach, they look promising. For replication, the tables are completely different, so this presents some challenges as well. The service bus and other products look to have value.

    Do you mind providing some more info on where the most effort on the Sync framework approach?

    thanks

    The sync framework works best if it keeps local knowledge of changes - rather than having to rely on forgotten knowledge comparisons. This means creating plugins that integrate with the sync framework, or having a sync that compares all changes since a previous date. This requires a local database that stores this knowledge which then syncs to the target systems.
