How to –Upload files to File Column / Attribute in SSIS from Azure Blog Storage – KingswaySoft (Dynamics 365 / CRM)


Below are a few ways we can upload files to the File Column type field using KingswaySoft’ s Integration Toolkit and Premium Flat File Source and Premium Derived column which are part of the SSIS Productivity Pack of KingswaySoft

https://nishantrana.me/2022/03/17/how-to-upload-files-from-file-column-attribute-using-ssis-kingswaysoft-dynamics-365-crm/

Using the Import column – https://nishantrana.me/2022/08/10/how-to-upload-files-to-file-column-attribute-using-ssis-kingswaysoft-and-import-column-dynamics-365-crm/

Using the Script Component – https://nishantrana.me/2022/08/09/how-to-use-script-component-to-upload-files-to-file-column-attribute-in-ssis-kingswaysoft-dynamics-365-crm/

Here instead of uploading the files from the local drive, we will be uploading the files stored in the Azure Blob Storage to the corresponding contact records inside CRM.

Below is our Blob Container – here to make things simple we have the mobile number of the contact records used as the pdf file name uploaded, and which will be used for updating the contact records.

The contact records in CRM

Below is how our package looks like

Here we have specified the Item Selection Mode as Recursive (File Only) to make sure it picks the files only and not the folder.

Within the Derived Column, we are replacing the pdf extension from the file name i.e. mobile number, and using it to find the contact records and update them.

Finally, in the CDS / CRM Destination Component, we are performing an upsert using the dervied Mobile Phone Formatted derived column as a match.

The mapping –

Let us now run the package.

Let us now open the records and check.

As expected we can see the file uploaded.

Enable/Disable Affinity Cookie on Azure Function App


Meghna Kharera's Blog

Affinity cookie is used to control the effective loading of the website and to ensure that all user requests are directed to the same server in any browsing session.

  2. Locate your Function App
  3. In Setting Pane, select Configuration
  4. Add New application setting
  5. Add Name as : PreferConnectionAffinity and Value : true
  6. click OK and save the setting
  7. Now when ever request will be send, it will be appending a affinity cookie to it and reach a dedicated server

Disable Affinity Cookie on Azure Function:

  1. Navigate to Azure Portal

How to – Use Import Column to Upload files to File Column / Attribute in SSIS KingswaySoft(Dynamics 365 / CRM)


A few weeks back had posted on how to upload files to the File Column type field using KingswaySoft’ s Integration Toolkit and Premium Flat File Source and Premium Derived column which are part of the SSIS Productivity Pack of KingswaySoft

https://nishantrana.me/2022/03/17/how-to-upload-files-from-file-column-attribute-using-ssis-kingswaysoft-dynamics-365-crm/

Here we will see an example of achieving the same without using the KingswaySoft Productivity Pack’s Premium Flat File Source and Derived column. (although would recommend using it as it includes over 300 premium components making it easier to rapidly build efficient solutions)

https://www.kingswaysoft.com/products/ssis-productivity-pack

Below is our source file

The contact records in CRM

Below is how the package looks like

The Flat File Source points to the location where we have the source csv file containing email, file path, and file name.

Import Column takes the File Path as the Input.

For the Input and Output properties, add an output column (BinaryColumn) of DataType = image.

In the FilePath input column properties, specify the column id of the output column.

Finally, in the CDS / CRM Destination Component, we are performing an upsert using the Email id as a match.

Here we have mapped the output column of the Import Column i.e. BinaryColumn to the binary content field of the file type attribute of the CRM.

Let us now run the package.

Let us now open the records and check.

As expected we can see the file uploaded.

Read blob file from Microsoft Azure Storage with .NET Core


Brian Pedersen's Sitecore and .NET Blog

UPDATE 2021-06-29: Microsoft have change the approach to storage accounts. Read the new way here: Read and Write blob file from Microsoft Azure Storage with .NET Core.

In order to read a blob file from a Microsoft Azure Blob Storage, you need to know the following:

  • The storage account connection string. This is the long string that looks like this:
    DefaultEndpointsProtocol=https;
    AccountName=someaccounfname;
    AccountKey=AVeryLongCrypticalStringThatContainsALotOfChars==
  • The blob storage container name. This is the name in the list of “Blobs”.
  • The blob file name. This is the name of the blob inside the container. A file name can be in form of a path, as blobs are structured as a file structure inside the container. For ecample: folder/folder/file.extension

You also need this NuGet package:

Windows.Azure.Storage

The code is pretty simple:

The usage is equally easy:

How to – Use Script Component to Upload files to File Column / Attribute in SSIS – KingswaySoft (Dynamics 365 / CRM)


A few weeks back had posted on how to upload files to the File Column type field using KingswaySoft’ s Integration Toolkit and Premium Flat File Source and Premium Derived column which are part of the SSIS Productivity Pack of KingswaySoft

https://nishantrana.me/2022/03/17/how-to-upload-files-from-file-column-attribute-using-ssis-kingswaysoft-dynamics-365-crm/

Here we will see an example of achieving the same without using the KingswaySoft Productivity Pack’s Premium Flat File Source and Derived column. (although would recommend using it as it includes over 300 premium components making it easier to rapidly build efficient solutions for different scenarios)

https://www.kingswaysoft.com/products/ssis-productivity-pack

Here we will be using Script Component to read the file from the path and convert it to DT_IMAGE.

Below is our source file

The contact records in CRM

Below is how the package looks like

The Flat File Source points to the location where we have the source CSV file containing email, file path, and file name.

Script Component has File Path and File Name as the input.


Add a column using Add Column in the Output Columns, with Data Type as image [DT_IMAGE]


Click on Edit Script..

Add the below code to read the bytes from the file path and add it to the output column.

Finally, in the CDS / CRM Destination Component, we are performing an upsert using the Email id as a match.

Here we have mapped the output column of the Import Column i.e. DerviedFileContent to the binary content field of the file type attribute of the CRM.

Let us now run the package.

Let us now open the records and check.

As expected we can see the file uploaded.
