Data Management Framework (DMF)
Data Management Framework (DMF) is a standard tool in D365FO that can
be used import, export, and copy data (setup, configurations, references,
master, and document data) into legal entities. This tool is purposefully
designed to assist data migration in D365FO.
DMF works with data entities (i.e., conceptual abstraction and encapsulation
of underlying table) to quickly migrate reference, master, and document
data from external systems to D365FO.
Each entity (i.e., entity type: Entity) has a target mapping that shows the
mapping of staging table to target. It means that once you want to import
data in D365FO via DMF you need to have a source file with heading that is
like target fields. If the source file have correct data in regards to type of
fields and type of data that each field must have (plus without any
duplicate), data will be imported on staging table, then it will be checked if
the data that is on each field can be imported into target table (e.g. if the
value is found on related table). Therefore, you have possibility to overwrite
(i.e., Update) and insert record into the target table.
Note: If on staging tables fields you have a value that is not found
on related table, you will get an error message while import. You
can either update the staging table with correct value or update
related table with the value to import the data into the target table.
Dual-write
What is dual-write?
Dual-write is an out-of-box infrastructure that provides near-real-time
interaction between customer engagement apps and finance and operations
apps.
Dual-write provides tightly coupled, bidirectional integration between finance and
operations apps and Dataverse. Any data change in finance and operations apps
causes writes to Dataverse, and any data change in Dataverse causes writes to
finance and operations apps.
Required role to set up dual-write: System administrator in finance and
operations apps and Dataverse.
DRA
The Document Routing Agent (DRA) is an application that resides on the
Customer’s network, to act as a bridge between the internet-hosted
Dynamics 365 (D365 F&O) system and Customer’s network printers.
DRA run as either a desktop application or a Microsoft Windows service.
DRA as a desktop application uses Adobe Reader to spool the document to
the shared printer device chosen in finance and operations.
RSAT
The Regression suite automation tool (RSAT) significantly reduces the time and cost
of user acceptance testing (UAT) of finance and operations apps. UAT is typically
required before you take a Microsoft application update, or before you apply custom
code and configurations to your production environment. RSAT is fully integrated
with Microsoft Azure DevOps for test execution, reporting, and investigation.
