  Hey guys! Howz life? Today we are gonna talk about some cool features available on Azure APIm, as a a part of Azure Copilot. If you are new to Azure APIm, and you don;t have much background as to how to weite a policy, what do they do actually, Azure Copilot can help you out. Azure APIs are actually pretty famous way of inbounding, middlewaring and outbounding load from any 3rd party system to Azure. Azure API Management is a hybrid, multicloud management platform for APIs across all environments. As a platform-as-a-service, API Management supports the complete API lifecycle. You can write YAML based policies statements that can govern a lot of things, like parsing an incoming a JSON payload, forwarding the call to another 3rd party URL, or managing number of calls per sec -- only to name a very, very few.  You can create An Azure APIm very easily: just crawl up to the usual home of https://portal.azure.com and  a. Create An Azure API by searching for 'API management s...

  I am sure you must have read my earlier post: https://subsd365.blogspot.com/2024/03/using-python-to-fetch-data-from-d365.html, which outlines a way of reading the data from D365FO, using Python. This post will help you just not fetching the data from F&O, but also visualise the data plot against x and y axes and then understanding the trend of your business (eg: you can see which Item is a high demand item, which customer has made the maximum transactions across a given time frame -- even when could a customer potentially could transact again: examples galore). And uh, ok -- before you proceed you have read the above post first and make sure: a. You have installed Jupyter notebook on your machine (it's free and absolutely easy to install and operate). b. You have a valid Microsoft Entra Id configured and given API permission to D365F&O. c. You have listed the client Id in your D365F&O side Entra Id registration. Before we begin, let us  quickly  check: ...

I hope you all are doing great and might have gone through my earlier blog on Azure APIm introduction: https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/2520883737187850604/4308148657431504181 This documentation focuses through live examples as to how such a system could be effectively designed and made to work with D365. Situation: problem statement We have a 3 rd party logistics system who creates Purchase orders in DAX, validates and creates GRN in AX and subsequently posts them. Solution design a.        A batch job that creates an Azure storage file in a shared Azure folder. b.        Custom Ax services pick up the file and creates Purchase orders in D365 c.        The third party receives the purchase order in their own system and tries to replicate the same in Ax. For that I.                   ...

  Azure API: quick overview Azure APIs are a stub of reliable connecters to any external world that can let you connect your application to talk to any 3 rd party appliance. Azure API in itself is a huge sea of possibilities: a.        letting you parse a web request using its rich NEWTON-SOFT based policies b.       letting you further call a function app c.        letting you further call a logic app d.       letting you further call another OpenApi/SOAP based web service The most appreciative features of Azure API are: a.        high availability: owing to being the integral part of MS Azure offering, Azure APIs can offer you an undisrupted service b.       flexible payment options like I.                   ...
