Configuring the Contoso online store example

Version: 8.2

Dynamics Integration Data Exchange is designed to synchronize Dynamics AX catalog data with Sitecore.

The SDK contains samples that transform catalog data from Dynamics AX for Retail into a format that can be imported into Commerce Server. These samples can be modified for the custom transformation of data to support specific business requirements.

Only minor changes, such as authentication, are required to get started.

  1. Make sure that the following Sitecore packages are installed in the following order:

    1. Sitecore.DataExchange.Framework.zip

    2. Sitecore.Commerce.DataExchange.Core.update.zip

    3. Sitecore.Commerce.DataExchange.Providers.DynamicsRetail.update.zip

  2. Log into Sitecore as an administrator, and navigate to Content Editor.

  3. Navigate to Sitecore > System > Data Exchange > Commerce Tenant > Endpoints > Providers > Contoso Dynamics CRT Endpoint to set an AX data connection.

  4. In Connection, specify the SQL Server, SQL Server Port, the AX Database Name, the AX User name, and the Password to access the AX database.

  5. In the Dynamics session, specify the Channel Id.

  6. Navigate to Sitecore > System > Data Exchange > Commerce Tenant > Pipeline Batches > Contoso Commerce Route Pipeline Batch, and make sure that the Enabled property under Administration is checked. If you want to run Synchronization outside of Sitecore, make sure that the CanRunOutOfProcess property is also checked. under Runtime Settings
