Data integration between dataverse and oracle

Posted on by Jaizalsprint

Need to synch data between dataverse and oracle based on the changes in the table.

The synch need to happen both the ways.

A single table in oracle keeps some records. This is updated by the user. This needs to be synced to dataverse

Similarly any changes on the dataverse table needs to synch to oracle.

What is the best approach or any solutions

Hi @Jaizalsprint ,

Personally I would look at Azure Data Factory for this ETL type of communication. You can create pipelines with Copy Data action and map the data from one system to the other. You can utilize things like Azure Key Vault in this process to secure your access to Oracle and Dataverse and run these jobs on schedules. https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/products/data-factory/#overview

There are other approaches you can look at like Data Flows https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-query/dataflows/overview-dataflows-across-power-platform-dynamics-365 which could work very well for your situation.

There are multiple 3rd party ETL tools like eOne SmartConnect, Tibco / Scribe, etc. but don't think you need to get into these tools for your requirement.

My initial reaction whenever anyone talks about 2 way syncs is use a virtual table on the Dataverse side of things but that isn't that practical due to the other database being Oracle

My next concern is that you need to work out a mechanism to avoid creating an infinite loop which means that at least one side of the transfer (preferably both) needs to run a full comparison of the old and new records and only update them if the change is not just the change tracking id....

Beyond that you have a number of options from Azure Data Factory to just 2 power automate flows (one triggered on record change, the other triggered by a http request say when the oracle database changes). I would also ask when you want the changes to occur - real-time requires a lot more work than an overnight sync.
