Publisher For Microsoft Dynamics 365
The TIBCO Scribe® Insight Microsoft Dynamics 365 and CRM Publisher publishes new and changed data to the ScribeIn message queue as XML messages. These messages can be used as source data for TIBCO Scribe® Insight integration processes or forwarded to other non-TIBCO Scribe® Insight processes.
The Dynamics 365 publisher is the most efficient way to retrieve "what's new" from the Dynamics 365 application in real-time. A publisher is a component that works with a data source to track which data has been modified over a specified period of time. The publisher feeds that data to an integration process, allowing only the changed records to be transferred to target systems.
The type of publisher you can use is determined by which version of Dynamics 365 you are using:
- Plug-In Publisher — Dynamics 365 and Dynamics CRM 2011 through 2016
- Workflow Publisher For Dynamics CRM 4.x — Dynamics CRM 4.x
The chart below shows the preferred publishers.
Tip: If you are using Microsoft Dynamics 365 or CRM, use the TIBCO Dynamics 365 Plug-in publisher, which appears in the Console Publisher drop-down as Microsoft Dynamics 365 Publisher. To distinguish it from the Dynamics CRM 4.x Publisher, this Help references it as Microsoft Dynamics 365 and CRM Publisher.

Creating
Schemas With Duplicate Entity/Parent/Child Names
When you create a schema using the workflow publisher, TIBCO Scribe® Insight automatically generates a schema file in .XDR format. The XDR schema is created with a node for every Entity, Parent Object, and Child Object, even if the entities or objects use the same name, such as an Account Entity and an Account Child Object.
Although the publisher creates a schema with identical nodes, XDR schema standards prevent the Workbench from opening or processing it. To work around this issue, you must use an XML sample message as the schema.
To Create An XML Sample Message:
- In the Console, add a new publisher.
- Perform an action in the TIBCO Scribe® InsightAdapter for Dynamics 365 and CRM, such as an Update or Insert, that causes a message to be published to the ScribeIn queue.
- Save this XML message and use it as both the sample file and the schema when creating the DTS.
Note: Make sure that every field you want in the schema contains data. The Publisher for Dynamics CRM 4.x only publishes fields that contain data.
Next steps
Using the chart above, select the appropriate publisher for your Dynamics 365 implementation. Then set up, configure, and test that publisher.
