CDN setup for Marketing

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 17

Hi community,

I have the following problem. I setup CDN in Azure and now want to take advantage of it in Dynamics 365. Does anyone know where the variable

{{marketingcdn}} is to be set ? This is used in marketing emails and elsewhere, but I cannot find where it is set.

Also does anyone know if File Storage in D365 can be directly connected to Azure Blob bypassing the SQL storage ? Any documentation anywhere ?

I'm not talking about the PowerBI setup using Azure Blob documented by MS.

Thank you for any help.

Tomas

EDIT:

I did some more investigation and found out there is a CDN Configuration entity (which is actually responsible for another error - see my other post.) However this enity is locked and not for editing, so you even cannot show it somewhere. However you can query the content via REST API. There is one CDN listed but apparently is not enabled. From the security I can see there is an option for system administrator to add CDN configuration there via REST, but before going further, is there any experience out there with this ? You guys do not use CDN for your assets in marketing emails and sites ?

CDN Configuration record:

  "msdyncrm_cdnenabled": "false",
   "msdyncrm_publicassetscdn": "mktdplp102cdn.azureedge.net/.../1.33.1023.0",
    "_modifiedby_value": null,
    "modifiedon": null,
    "statuscode": null,
    "timezoneruleversionnumber": null,
    "overriddencreatedon": null,
    "statecode": null,
    "_owningbusinessunit_value": null,
    "utcconversiontimezonecode": null,
    "_ownerid_value": null,
    "_createdonbehalfby_value": null,
    "_createdby_value": null,
    "msdyncrm_cdnconfigurationid": null,
    "createdon": null,
    "msdyncrm_name": null,
    "_modifiedonbehalfby_value": null,
    "_owninguser_value": null,

    Hello ,

    Both CDN config entity as well as storage type used in Dynamics 365 for Marketing is not configurable. it is managed by Microsoft and should not be altered.

    Let us know if there is a specific use case you are trying to solve . perhaps there are other ways.

    Regards,

    Hi Ghufran, that is what expected when I saw it locked. As you can read above, our marketing team asked my where they can setup {{marketingcdn}} variable that appears in the marketing email templates and other places. So they do not need to copy paste the URL of our CDN in Azure Blob storage. I would expect it in some setting, where you say {{marketingcdn}} = https://....... but I cannot find it anywhere.
