Posted on by Cembrit

We do have a D365 on-premise installation and need to connect to an external Database to read and write data over classes.
How can I create ODBC connections in an on-prem installation?

Hi @Cembrit,

In this case i think you must do a customization and developing.

Sorry to come back to this post but I do not find any option in D365FO to setup a DB connector
WIll it be possible to write SQL Statements like
SQL ="SELECT [accountid],[accountnumber],[ap_AccountTypeName],[ap_Categoryidname],[ap_crmaccountid],[ap_ResponsibleidName],[name],[OwningBusinessUnit] " + "FROM [EDW].[CRM].[CRM365_Account] CRM365Acc " + "where not exists (" + "select * from [EDW].[CRM].[CRM365AX_Account] CRM365AXAcc " + "where CRM365AXAcc.accountid = CRM365Acc.[accountid]) " + "AND CRM365Acc.[ap_AccountTypeName] = 'Customer'";

I really have no clue how to solve this in D365FO (on-premise)

@Mohamed

Thx I did that but do you have any idea how to setup the DSN than. Normally I would set it up with "integrated windows authentication" but if I do so I get an error :

Microsoft][ODBC Driver 17 for SQL Server]SSL Provider: The certificate chain was issued by an authority that is not trusted.
[Microsoft][ODBC Driver 17 for SQL Server]Client unable to establish connection

Hi @Cembrit,

In SSMS please goto connection properties and click on "Trust server certificated"

Yes I found the option after I posted here but then I get

The login packet used to open the connection is structurally invalid; the connection has been closed. Please contact the vendor of the client library.
