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.

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.

When working with Dynamics 365 online, your integration performance is subject to what is allowed by the server infrastructure managed by Microsoft. In particular, Microsoft has a throttling strategy in place to prevent exhaustive resource usage on the server-side from each individual tenant. This is for the good reason of making sure that the servers operate in a healthy environment, so that it does not degrade the overall performance of all other tenants in the same server group, while one tenant is performing a high-paced data load. However, this can create challenges when your data load has to be completed in a particular time window, in which case you might have exhausted all of your options to speed up the data load performance. In this blog post, we will discuss a new feature that can be used to overcome this limitation and boost data load speed.
