Hello,
As Microsoft anounced "OData v2.0 Service removal date announcement", is there any way to detect which OData version I'm currently using in my Power BI reports so I will not have problems after April 30, 2023?
Kind Regads,
Lucian
Solved! Go to Solution.
@Lucian Well this is the email I received below. In re-reading this about 12 times. I *think* that the Instance Web API is the Web API, an OData 4.0 service that they mention. So safe *probably*?
So, we cross the fingers and hope will all work after April 30, 2023 🤞😜
Well, I don't think that post means that OData connector will be removed for good and we have to change it with the Dataverse connector. Unfortunately the lack of information, especially related to Power BI, just create more confusion.
Just to be more confusing, checking the screen posted by @lkay in the previous post, I have observed under the "Service Root URL" the link for "Download OData Metadata", and this link is as follows: https://companyname.crm4.dynamics.com/Tools/SystemCustomization/WsdlProgramming/download.aspx?file=O...
The last part make me think that I'm using already the OData V4.0, but is this way to check the proper version?
Kind Regards,
Lucian

Thanks @Lucian - I also had the same question this morning.
@Greg_Deckler do you mind kindly elaborating on what you mean by "source systems for what version of OData they support".
In the past, this is how I connected powerbi to CRM data:
Then fetching the instance Web API link from Customizations --> Developer Resources --> Instance Web API:
and then I pasted here:
Echoing the question that was posted: any way to detect which OData version I'm currently using in my Power BI reports ?
thank you!
@lkay @Lucian My understanding according to the email that was sent out is that OData endpoint is going away completely and you need to convert these to use the Dataverse connector. So if you are using the Dynamics 365 Online (legacy) connector you will have to change it. It's not that there is some other OData version of that endpoint that you can use. Sorry, the whole version of OData thing threw me off.
My understanding is that the Dataverse connector uses OData 4.0.
@Lucian Fairly certain you would have to check your source systems for what version of OData they support.
