ODATA call from external system

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by VRD 517

Hi,

We have external API that makes call to our D365FO using OData.

I am just curious to know how the OData call be made to D365FO from outside without having any entry in System Administration-> Setup -> Azure Active Directory Applications as mentioned in below article.

https://www.d365ug.com/blogs/nandita-nityanandam/2018/11/20/third-party-integration-in-d365fo-using-odata

The issue we found that this Odata call from external API results in error ' Cannot edit a record in Activities (smmActivities).\nAn update conflict occurred due to another user process deleting the record or changing one or more fields in the record.'

This however works fine from Excel file import using DIXF. I wanted to reproduce the error but just not sure how can I make a Odata call without having above mentioned registration.

Appreciate if someone can help if faced such situation before. Thanks.

    Hi,

    Did you resolve this issue? Please let me know the solution of this because I am facing the same issue but using AAD authentication.

    Thanks Martin for your comments. I wanted to reproduce the scenario hence was just wondering because I haven't tried OData call using native app before.

    You can register the app in AAD as a native app (instead of a web app) and then use username & password instead of a client secret. Then you don't need System Administration-> Setup -> Azure Active Directory Applications to define the user.

    Nevertheless the fact that you have an update conflict inside F&O shouldn't be related to the way of authentication.
