Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations - Example - Mule 4

The following example illustrates how to work with the features of Anypoint Connector for Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations (Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Operations Connector) using the Retrieve Multiple operation to accept data and then output the results in JSON format.

This example uses the following operations in the flow:

HTTP Listener
Accepts data from HTTP requests
Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Operations Retrieve multiple
Connects and executes a query to retrieve all the customer entities
Transform Message
Outputs the results of the Retrieve Multiple operation in JSON format.

The following screenshot shows the Studio app flow for this example:

Figure 1. Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Operations Use Case Flow

Use a properties file to define these attributes for use in the flow:

username="${operations.username}"
password="${operations.password}"
resource="${operations.resource}"
clientId="${operations.client_id}"
clientSecret="${operations.client_secret}"
tokenRequestEndpoint="${operations.request_endpoint}"

You can paste this XML code into Anypoint Studio to experiment with the flow:
