Hi Anonymous,

 

I'm a little confused, because the official documentation you mentioned regarding the deprecation of the Dynamics 365 connector is for Power Apps and Power Automate, not for Fabric Data Factory? So this documentation should not be relevant for the Dynamics 365 connector in Fabric Data Factory?

 

Why is the Dynamics 365 connector included in a new service like Fabric data pipeline, if the connector was deprecated back in 2020?

 

I also don't find any documentation for this connector in Fabric Data Factory.

 

A Dynamics 365 connector is listed in the docs for Azure Data Factory, though:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/data-factory/connector-overview

 

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/data-factory/connector-dynamics-crm-office-365?tabs=data-factory

 

This documentation says: "To copy data from Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations, you can use the Dynamics AX connector."

(Please note that this is the ADF documentation).

    I still find it strange that there is no documentation for the connector, because the connector is available in the user interface in Fabric Data Pipeline.
