I don't know if this is the right place to ask but I give it a try. Does anyone know if there is a functionality in Dynamics CRM 2011 to create a schedule that does an automated XML Export of an entity and/or a schedule for import another file from a defined place ?
Do I have to code that myself :( ? Background for this question is the daily synchronisation between two databases
I'm working on this myself and having found one of the most helpful Dynamics helpers out there (see http://varghesedanny.com/ )
Here is a copy & paste of our recent volley back & forth about this...
I had been leaning towards plugin + XRM whereas my other main counterpart is looking into the SSIS method...
Assumptions: 1. Assuming you have the data already in the SQL database in a format ready for consumption 2. Assuming this is a database outside of CRM
Possible solutions:
Using XRM methodologies, you can create an “integration logs” entity with fields around status of the integration, an entry for the data integrated and a field for error handling. Then on update of a field (you can do this manually or using a button), trigger an asynchronous plug-in to read the database, parse the XML and pull it into CRM.
You can use SSIS (free with SQL Server) and add a scheduled task to kick off an integration process. This is a bit complex to setup, but not too bad.
That being said there is workable code in PHP that my team has proven to work w/ Rollup 10 here...
As far as I know this is not available in CRM 2011. There is a solution for your requirement but it is a 3rd-party application.
