30 March 2023

In the general integration practice, it is a very common use case to monitor a folder path for any file changes, and as soon as a file with certain criteria lands in the folder or gets modified, a process should kick off or otherwise, an email notification should be sent via email. With the new Premium File Watcher Task added to our SSIS Productivity Pack in our most recent v23.1 release, this can be easily achievable in an automated fashion. In this blog post, we will demonstrate the design and configurations required to watch a file path on a continuous basis and send an email notification when a specific change happens in it.

In some unique cases, we may receive an XML document that needs to be processed in the ETL process, which might contain general XML content but includes some embedded XML content made of escaped characters. The integration requires the embedded XML content to be fully parsed and processed. In this blog post, we will show you how to properly handle and transform mixed XML content with escaped characters to ensure the successful parsing of API responses and files.

Enumeration fields or optionsets need to be handled well in a migration scenario. And it is easy to not have an option in a target system, which was a legacy option in your Source data set. One such example would be currency options. Currency abbreviations can easily be missed, incomplete, or need to be changed to better reflect the destination system. In this business case, we are working with an old database system and have now been tasked to create the contact information in HubSpot.

While migrating from CRM to CRM, or any other Source system to CRM, in an ETL, records will need to be associated with users. And since the Source and Target Systems are different, there may not be a guarantee that some users may still exist in the organization. And in such cases, such users become either unlicensed, or stub users. These type of users have restrictions when it comes to being set as an owner of records, and in this blog post, we will see how this can be handled efficiently.

With the recent news of SOAP basic authentication deprecation, it becomes imperative to start using the OAuth authentication for your SharePoint integration process. In response to this deprecation, we have recently added support for OAuth in the latest (v22.1) of our SharePoint toolkit, which offers a paralleled feature set as the SOAP service endpoint. It also includes some enhanced capabilities that were not possible using the SOAP service endpoint. This blog post will demonstrate the process involved in order to start using the OAuth authentication type in your integration.

There are many reasons you might need to send retries on failed HTTP-based service requests, particularly when you are working with API integration in an ETL process. Now, a simple retry can easily be done in the HTTP Connection Manager using its built-in Retry on Intermittent Errors option. In addition, there might be cases in which you would want to implement a more customized retry on additional HTTP errors to facilitate a more resilient integration process. In this blog post, we will see how KingswaySoft can help in both scenarios.


Introducing the Metadata Source Type in CRM/CDS Source Component

It is not unusual to run into a business requirement that you need to extract Dynamics 365 metadata during your ETL process. We used to believe that this is not a general requirement until we have recently announced our DES deprecation replacement solution, in which it is important to have a way to retrieve the list of Option Set values along with their label values in the system since Dynamics Entity Changes feature only returns integer values for those option set/picklist options. In this blog post, we will discuss this scenario and how to work with our DES deprecation replacement solution.
