I have used Kingswaysoft in the past for migrating data to Dynamics CRM Online but in my current project some consultants recommend Zappysys SSIS PowerPack - https://www.zappysys.com/products/ssis-powerpack . I had never heard of it and don't have experience with it. Can anyone share their experience with Zappysys in general and more specifically when using it for migrating data to CRM Online,
Kind regards,

Hi,
I am working on Data Migration from CRM 2016 On Premise to CRM 365 Online using Kingswaysoft.
Facing challenges in mapping fields for activities (Email, Phonecall, Letter...etc)
I looked at the kingswaysoft FAQ link https://www.kingswaysoft.com/products/ssis-integration-toolkit-for-microsoft-dynamics-365/faq
but not able to understand how to map party list fields like From, To, CC, BCC .
I don't see From, To, CC, BCC fields in the CRM Source table(email) to map to destination.
Kingswaysoft FAQ , mentioned about JSON format source, what it mean? Do I need to write script component in SSIS and read data from any fields?
Can someone help me, which fields in the email table corresponds to fields(From, To, CC, BCC) in the destination.
Thanks
Krishna
Hi,
I am working on a test data import from on-prem to online. I am using the out of the box 'data import tool' to import lookup field values between the two organizations.
I noticed that the guids are not coming through this import process. It is assigning new guids to the lookup values which is not desirable for our project. Is this true?
I did try kingswaysoft ssis tool to do the same lookup data import and it nicely brought in the same guids. Can someone please shed some light on this? I am little confused as how the out of the box tool is important when it can't retain guid to other environments.
Thanks for any help!
Hi,
I am working on data migration from crm 2016(onprem) to dynamics 365(online) using kingswaysoft.
I am not sure how to proceed with the businessunit field. Our new d365 online got a new business unit when this new environment was created. In the SSIS package, to map the new businessunit field in target environment, how do I specify in the package? Thanks for any help!

I have a transformation script component within a data flow task - using KingswaySoft.
However, I get the error "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" when the script task executes.
I pass an SSIS variable into the component called "ContactGUID". The component also has 1 input, "CRMRecordId", which is the GUID of the custom entity I want to retrieve the x_contact value from. The component has a CRMConnection manager and one output column added.
My first question is there anyway to debug Script Components? I have tried setting a message box/break points - but the object error appears as soon as the script component is reached within the data flow.
Here is my code:
#region Namespaces
using System;
using System.Data;
using Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Pipeline.Wrapper;
using Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.Wrapper;
using Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using KingswaySoft.IntegrationToolkit.DynamicsCrm;
using KingswaySoft.DynamicsCrmServices.Soap2011;

using KingswaySoft.DynamicsCrmServices.Soap2011.OrganizationService;

using System.ServiceModel.Description;
using Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Pipeline;
using System.Runtime.Serialization;
#endregion
[Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Pipeline.SSISScriptComponentEntryPointAttribute]
public class ScriptMain : UserComponent
{
public IOrganizationService _service;
KingswaySoft.DynamicsCrmServices.Soap2011.OrganizationService.IOrganizationService orgService;
public override void PreExecute()
{
Console.WriteLine("starting pre-execute");
base.PreExecute();
var connMgr = this.Connections.CrmConnection;
var connectionString = (string)connMgr.AcquireConnection(null);
var conn = new CrmConnection(connectionString);
var orgService = (IOrganizationService)conn.GetCrmService(); // SOAP 2011
}
public override void PostExecute()
{
base.PostExecute();
}
public override void Input0_ProcessInputRow(Input0Buffer Row)
{
ColumnSet cols = new ColumnSet(
new String[] { "x_contact" });
Entity contactIdentifier = orgService.Retrieve("x_contactidentifier", Row.CrmRecordId, cols);
if (contactIdentifier.Contains("x_contact"))
{
Variables.ContactGUID = Convert.ToString(contactIdentifier.Attributes["x_contact"]);
}
}
}
When I comment out the call to "orgService" the error is no longer - which leads me to believe it may be something todo with the "Pre-Execute" Method.
Any help would be much appreciated - Thanks

Hi,
I am using kingswaysoft to do a test migration from CRM 2016 onprem to Dynamics 365 online. It is working fine so far but I am stuck on how to map a new field(Option Set) in the destination that doesn't exist in source.
We are going to use a new field on one of the custom entities in Dynamics 365. And during migration, based on the other fields in source, this new field in destination needs to be updated with one of it's options.
In Kingswaysoft adapter, is there a way I can specify to update the new field value based on other field values? Right now, all I am seeing is 'Ignore' in source input column for this new field in destination CRM field(SSIS kingswaysoft).
Please let me know of any approach this can be handled. Thanks for any help.
Hi All,
I am admin and i have disabled the 2FA authentication in the user admin and also selected the password reset to None in Azure Directory, but when I try to log in, microsoft still prompt me to use the authentication App. With the prompting, I have noticed, all the connection in my third party tools like XRMtoolbox and Kingswaysoft SSIS tool is having problem connecting to the CRM server, since they do not support 2FA (kingswaysoft does not). Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong. I get the below error in kingswaysoft when i try to connect:

Hi,
I am facing an issue in migrating MarketingLists (List) from CRM 2016 databse to CRM 365 online.
Marketing List migration is done but 'Member Count' field is showing wrong count. Example- When there are 10 members associated with the marketing list it is showing Member count as '4'.
Migrated Marketing List and List members.
I have tried in 2 ways
1. Migrated Marketing List without mapping 'Member Count' from source to destination.
2. Migrated Marketing List by mapping 'Member Count' from source to destination.
In both ways I can see the count wrong.
Any one has idea how to migrate it to get correct member count.
Regards
Krishna
Hello,
I'm searching for solutions to achieve the migration of Dynamics CRM 2016 onpremise data to new instance of Dynamics 365 online. I know I can try with Kingswaysoft, but I wonder if the Configuration Migration Tool could be useful to migrate ALL DATA for most of entities (including activities) and maintain the GUIDs.
Will I need to migrate CRM 2016 onpremise to Dynamics 365 onpremise before? Is the configuration migration tool good enough to accomplish this migration? Or is it better KWS, Scribe or Cobalt solution?
Thank you in advanced!

I have a CRM application and i am pulling data using FETCH XML wrinting in Kingsway soft CRM source Editor (SSIS).
I am trying to save the value in a variable and use in later dataflow or connection manager set up for destination. I am having trouble assigning values to variable. Please help me on this.
I tried using below.
<fetch version="1.0" mapping="logical" aggregate="true">
<entity name=@[User::tablename]>
<attribute name=@[User::ColumnName] alias=@[User::tableAlias] aggregate="countcolumn" />
</entity>
</fetch>

<all-attributes />
<filter type="and" >
<condition attribute="modifiedon" operator="ge" value="@[User::ModifiedOn]" />
</filter>
</entity>
</fetch>
The @[User::EntitiesName] variable is build at runtime; Also the value @[User::ModifiedOn] is build at runtime. I received the error
System.Exception: There was an error when retrieving the CRM metadata for the entity or FetchXML query provided.

Hi Team:
Currently we have SSIS jobs that download and upload data between salesforce and on-premise oracle using a WSDL based connector. Now we want to replace Salesforce with MS Dynamics 365 online. Please keep in mind that i need to download Dynamics entities as well as update Dynamics entities (bi-directional data sync). What is the best option in your experience to connect to Dynamics via SSIS. I am trying to avoid third party connectors like kingsoft etc. if possible .
Thanks,
LJ
