About: RECORDGENERATOR Activity

In Business Integration Solutions, use the RECORDGENERATOR activity to write records into Microsoft Dynamics BC.

Usage

Use this activity to convert an XML document into Microsoft Dynamics BC records.

Concept

An import pipeline reads data from an external system and through various pipeline elements translates the data into a more readable XML document. Based on an internal document definition, the Record Generator fetches the data from the XML document and writes it into Microsoft Dynamics BC.

Make sure that the external data being written into the Microsoft Dynamics BC have the same data type as in the internal table structure. When the file contains data from another data type, the record generator will give an error.
