DMF - calling "ImportFromPackage API" in Logic App.

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by AskForum 15

Hi Seniors,

I want to confirm this understanding is correct or not.

If we use "Data management framework's package API" (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/unified-operations/dev-itpro/data-entities/data-management-api) 
from Logic App i.e. call "ImportFromPackage API" in Logic App, then data is processed as data management scenario and not as OData, isnt it?

Because, I want to call postTargetProcess() when all records are transferred from staging to target. As mentioned in Ivegen's Blog (https://ievgensaxblog.wordpress.com/2016/05/07/ax-7-process-the-data-after-data-entity-import/)

Please let me know this is possible.

Waiting for your response.

    Hello yes it is possible

    but only with Data Export Packages that have a file destination.

    The steps are to execute the Action that exports the entire data export package to a BLOB. Then retrieve the URL from the output of the action you called.

    Download the zip file from that blob,

    Extract it, and then you will see your exported file, with the package manifest.

    The part i am stumped on is executing an Azure SQL Export Data Package via the API.

    Underneath are some links on the File Based method.

    Hi HelloWord,

    Yes.It through Data Management.

    ImportFromPackage() uses a batch to perform the import. must be used in Data management to perform parallel imports. ImportFromPackage() must not be called in parallel threads.

    Manually run project import through data management when using composite data entities

    Thanks Blue Wang for further details and confirmation.
