Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee
I have a business scenario wherein SQL Server on-premise table & Dataverse table to be in sync all the time.For this I have created automated flow from SQL Server -> Dataverse table & another flow from Dataverse table -> SQL server.
 
But on testing it,this goes in to infinite loop & creates duplicate records.
 
Can you help on how to achieve it ?

    Hi @Anonymous 

     

    For your scenario I would look at defining an alternate key on your table in Dataverse and set that to a unique identifier from the SQL table.  The in your flow, add logic to check whether the alternate key value already exists in Dataverse before creating a new record, otherwise update the existing record.
