To retrieve information from a Microsoft Dynamics repository, create a new fetch task by following these steps. The connector runs fetch tasks automatically, based on the schedule that is configured in the configuration file.
To create a new Fetch Task
In the [FetchTasks]
section of the configuration file, specify the number of fetch tasks using the Number
parameter. If you are configuring the first fetch task, type Number=1
. If one or more fetch tasks have already been configured, increase the value of the Number
parameter by one (1). Below the Number
parameter, specify the names of the fetch tasks, starting from zero (0). For example:
[FetchTasks] Number=1 0=MyTask
Below the [FetchTasks]
section, create a new TaskName section. The name of the section must match the name of the new fetch task. For example:
[FetchTasks] Number=1 0=MyTask [MyTask]
In the new section, set the following parameters:
EndpointUrl
|
The base URL of the Dynamics web API. |
RetrievalSpecification
|
The path to an XML file that contains the specification of what to retrieve from the repository. For information about how to create this file, see Create the XML Retrieval Specification. |
NtlmUsername
|
The user name to use to access resources protected by NTLM authentication. |
NtlmPassword
|
The password to use to access resources protected by NTLM authentication. Micro Focus recommends that you encrypt the password before entering it into the configuration file. For information about how to encrypt parameter values, see Encrypt Passwords. |
