Is it possible to synchronize Business Central to Azure Data Lake?

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 26

In Dyn 365 CE there's a way to sinchronize data (unidirectional) to the Azure Data Lake Storage: inside the Power App Admin Portal, in "Data" there's the option "Export to Data Lake". [CDS -> Azure Storage Account v2]. 

I'm not a BC speciallist, and I want to know if that's possible, or maybe there is the same option?

Thanks!

    Hello,

    CDS synchs to Azure Data Lake. BC can synchronize to CDS? Maybe that this is what you are looking for?

    Thanks.

    Thanks for the reply, Marco.

    Actually, I want to know if there is a Power Apps Portal of Business central, as there is for Customer Engagement. Or, if it is the same Portal. 

    If there's no portal, what is the way to sync BC data in CDS, and then export it to Azure Data Lake (if there's a way).

    I hope I made myself understood.

    It’s the same portal. CDS sync is possible with BC but out the box only for a set amount of entities. More entities can sync but with development. In Power Apps take a look at data flows. You can create a pull of data from chosen locations with methods like ODATA, which BC has available. Publish web services for the data you can’t sync with the out the box collection into custom CDS entities. As Marco said after that export to an azure data lake is controlled in the Powerapps portal.
