A good example of Trace Parser, Visual Studio and Excel

Prerequisite Before analysing a trace file, you might need to create a database for trace data. When you do troubleshooting actions on any VMs lower than D365FO 10.X.X (i.e. AX2012, D365FO 7.X, D365FO 8.X), no database was pre-created for trace’s data. You will need to register a new one. Please check here. A good tip of using Excel to analyse INSERT INTO statement captured in a Trace file: Check here.

Dynamics 365 FinOps Data Integration using Microsoft Forms (Part 1)

With any D365FO users, Data Management workspace and Data Entities should have become one of the most used and well-known tools in the system. We all agree how powerful such integration framework is, especially when it comes to a large number of records that we would need to import into different tables. The classic method that we have been utilizing is to include all source data in a single (or multiple, much depending on the purpose and order of data integration) Excel sheet, trigger an import execution, pass any validation layers that present and ultimately have the data available on D365FO.
