Endpoint URL

The D365 Finance Operations resource URL, and the selected entities and parameters. This field is parkable and non-editable.

Parameters

The D365 Finance Operations query parameters.

There are two ways to enter the required query. You can either click to open the Expression Editor and enter your query manually, or you can click to open the D365 Finance Operations Query Wizard. After creating a query using the wizard, you can also manually change the query in this property.

This is available only if you selected Get in the Method parameter (above).

Paginations

Max Records

Define the maximum number of records to be returned as part of the D365 Finance Operations request.

In case the user enters the value as 0, it will be set back to the default value of 5000.

Page Size

Enter the page size here.

Each page contains a specific number of records and the D365 Finance Operations server handles it as a separate request, with its own timeout.

An increase in the Page Size may result in increase in the memory consumption on the Business Central Server or client. For optimum performance, set the value of the Page Size based upon the available memory.

The supported range is from 50 to 10000. Recommended and default value is 500.

Refresh Schema

Click the Refresh Schema button to create a schema for the D365 Finance Operations entity selected. The schema will be generated based upon the D365 Finance Operations metadata.xml generated on the resource.

If the schema already exists, the current schema will be overwritten and synced with the D365 Finance Operations metadata. If the schema does not exist, it will be created as per the metadata.xml of the D365 Finance Operations resource. The configuration information will be saved, and the Data Mapper window will be opened with the selected schema as the Destination. This is applicable for all operations other than the Get Operations.

For any updates in metadata at server side, first execute the Get Metadata operation before clicking the Refresh Schema button.
