Hi Voltes,

I know the responses is a 1 year late 😊

Yes, this will be replacement for Export to Data Lake & BYOD, but to it's still not mature enough, I posted questions about some issues here:

* Selecting tables to for Synapse Link programmatically (dynamics.com)
* Selecting Tables to Sync from finance and operations | programmatically - Microsoft Community Hub

Here a short

summary & Learning resources:

Export to Data Lake is Deprecated and will no longer be working after Oct-2024

BYOD may be the next feature to be deprecated.

Microsoft asks clients for Transitioning from Export to Azure Data Lake to Synapse Link, which is cheaper and more reliable.Please find the attached official presentation and some links below:

⚠ Note:

Over the past 12 months, we've been working to fill in gaps and add new features that members of the user community have highlighted. Synapse Link for Dataverse service built into Power Apps, the successor to the Export to Data Lake feature in finance and operations apps, is generally available and ready for you. Synapse Link provides one experience for working with data from all Microsoft Dynamics 365 apps.

We want you to benefit from the enhanced performance, flexibility, and improved user experience that Synapse Link offers as soon as possible. Therefore, we've announced the deprecation of the Export to Data Lake feature, effective October 15, 2023. If you're already using the Export to Data Lake feature, you can continue to use it until November 1, 2024. If you're new to the Export to Data Lake feature or are planning to adopt this feature in the coming months, we recommend that you use Synapse Link instead.

We understand that that transition might seem daunting, but we want to provide a smoother experience and offer guidance. To get started, see the Synapse Link transition guide. We're listening closely to the community and are working on multiple features to help make the transition smoother. We'll announce these other improvements to the transition process as we bring new features online. If you want to stay in touch, join the community at
