Import data with custom request add-in
The import data with custom request add-in (Figure 1.1) is used to submit custom requests against e.g. a modified remote system plugin.
The add-in parameters are:
Parameter name |
Value |
Comments |
Preconfigured endpoint | A preconfigured endpoint |
Select a preconfigured endpoint from the list in Settings > Integration > Endpoint management. The selection includes the request body configured in Endpoint management as well as the authentication. The request body can be overridden for standard Dynamicweb plug-in units endpoints. |
Web service URL |
An URL |
Enter the URL to the DW Connector webservice. This is overridden when a preconfigured is selected |
Security key |
A string |
The secret key required by the DW Connector webservice. This is overridden when a preconfigured is selected If access to the endpoint requires an authentication method other than a security key (such as OAuth 2.0 for Dynamics 365 SaaS applications) it must be added to a preconfigured endpoint in Settings > Integration > Endpoint management. |
Request XML |
An XML request |
Passing a request for data to the plugin on the remote system. When a preconfigured endpoint is selected, the request XML field overrides the request defined in a standard plug-in unit endpoint. The parameter should be left empty for other types of preconfigured endpoints. |
Import activity |
An import activity |
Specify which import activity should take the data returned by the remote system and import it to the Dynamicweb database |
Log all request and responses |
True/false |
Logs all requests and responses – this is useful when debugging |
The notification parameters are used to send a notification email to one or more email addresses whenever the batch job is run – you can use the Only on failure setting to only send an email if the job fails.
