Microsoft Dataverse

    What is Microsoft Dataverse? 

In other words Microsoft Dataverse is a database which allows us to store data in secured cloud storage options in the form of standard and custom entities. Terminology wise Dataverse replaces entity as table and field as Column.

 

That means Microsoft Dynamics 365 applications like Sales, Services and Marketing can use Dataverse directly to store and secure the data without any manual integrations as it is already in compatible with it.

 

But for Dynamics 365 Finance, Dynamic 365 Supply Chain Management, and Dynamics 365 Retail currently require the configuration of the Data Integrator to make your business data available within Dataverse.

 

All server side logics and validations( Business Rules, Business Process flows, Workflows and Business logic with code) works as it is with Dataverse.

Also, the Dynamics 365 connector is deprecated, but continues to work until removed.Do not use the Dynamics 365 connector for new flows. Use the Dataverse (current environment) connector whenever you can. If the Dataverse (current environment) connector does not fit your needs, use the Common Data Service connector.The Dataverse (current environment) connector should be your first choice because it provides the most capability and best performance.
