Connecting Via A Query Publisher

A query publisher is a polling mechanism that pulls data from Microsoft Dynamics 365 or CRM.

You can use a query publisher to get changes out of Dynamics 365 or CRM as XML messages without setting up the adapter’s publisher.

Most of what the publisher can do with user filtering, event type monitoring, and retrieving parent and child objects can also be done with a query publisher.

A query publisher is a little easier to set up than a publisher although the query publisher does not have all the point and click features of the adapter’s publisher configuration utility. The adapter’s publisher is a push from the Dynamics 365 or CRM server.

Use the workflow publisher with Dynamics CRM 4.x.

Note: Be careful when comparing date/time stamps.

For query publishers, monitors, and data views, the Adapter for Dynamics 365 and CRM always converts date/time stamps to the logged in user's time zone. This is the Adapter default and cannot be changed to UTC/GMT.
