dataverse

SQL 4 CDS XrmToolBox Tool - Mark Carrington - I’ve been aware of this clever tool from Mark Carrington for some time, but have not had much occasion to use it. I suspect that, in part, this is because of my relatively low experience with SQL - if I need to bulk query CDS records outside code I tend to go straight to FetchXml tools. However the recent integration of an OpenAI CoPilot is a gamechanger for users like myself as it is now trivial to create the basic queries under the data you need. #

We have an integration between Dataverse and a third party system that runs in Azure Functions. Third party have now acknowledged that in certain race conditions their system can create two entries duplicated on what should be a unique key. Just deployed what I hope is a fix to our code that uses blob lease distributed locking via the madelson/DistributedLock library… #

A short reflection on the Dataverse resilience tests so far #

A fourth approach to parallel record creation in Dataverse using HttpClient with retry logic from Polly #

A third approach to parallel creation in Dataverse using HttpClient without any retry logic (naive starting point) #

A second approach to parallel record creation using ServiceClient but using Parallel.ForEachAsync #

I try a naive approach to parallel record creation using ServiceClient and example code from the documentation. #

A collection of notes exploring how to make applications that rely on Dataverse more resilient #
