Setting Lookup field in the Dynamics 365 for Sales Connector in Informatica Cloud


Informatica Cloud has recently released new connector for integration with Dynamics 365 named Dynamics 365 for Sales Connector, which uses Web API of Dynamics 365.

Below is how we specify the details of the connection –

Because of lack of documentation for the new connector, while trying to insert a record inside CRM and trying to setup a lookup field we struggled a lot.

Eventually, we realized the format that is required for setting the lookup field.

EntitySetName:(GUID)

i.e.

sab_fash_categories(72e0b837-e060-4a5c-b831-0e8266dd9a56)

Here sab_fash_categories is the EntitySetName of the custom entity sab_fash_item and it is being used as a lookup in another entity.

For the older version of the connector that used OrganizationService, the documentation is available which specifies the following format for the lookups

{SchemaName:GUID} i.e. the way we specify while setting EntityReference field
