Hello,
How can I export data model of all data entities in D365FO belonging to specific ISV model in order to send it to third party app developers for mapping data with their entities?
Thanks
Hi andjelalj,
What is the purpose of this? Some ISV's don't support all of their functionality with data entities. Wouldn't it be better to first check what tables are required in a certain integration and then check if there is a suitable data entity or not?
Hi Andre,
Our partners required to send them XML file of data entity structure in order to map entities with their entities.
The similar article in Finance Forum:
How to import and export the xml file

Hi huijij,
I dont need to export data to XML file, I need a document of entity metadata, I need the structure of entities, what fields it has etc so they (from another company) can compare and map their data entities with ours.
You've attached "restapi" tag, which suggests that you're interested in consuming data entities via OData (which is a REST-ful service). And the OData service already offers metadata - just navigate to [your F&O environment URL]/data/$metadata.
It even fulfils your requirement in getting metadata in XML.
Note that this metadata is often used to generate service clients (e.g. through OData v4 Client Code Generator), allowing to consume the service in strongly-typed object-oriented manner.
Hi Martin,
I already did that, but is it possible to filter only data entities that belong to our model and how can I save this URL as a document?
Saving the content that the locator (URL) points to is easy: open it in a web browser (wait until it's fully loaded, which may take a while), then press Ctrl+S and choose where to save it.
If you're use a prefix for your entities, you could extract just entities with this prefix from the file. Alternatively you could generate a list of your entities (e.g. by using the metadata API or simply looking into files in your model folder), iterate this list by a script and extract data from the file.
But... are you sure that they won't use any standard entities? Maybe you should simply give then full metadata and then let them pick the entities they need, regardless if they were developed by Microsoft, ISVs or yourself.
