You can use the Move file action to move a file to another location.
If the direction is:
| 1. | Click Connectivity studio Integration Design. |
| 2. | Click the Connectors tab. |
| 3. | In the list, find and select the desired connector of type Azure file storage. |
| 4. | Click Edit. |
| 5. | You can export connectivity setup and import it in another D365 FO environment. For example, you first set up and test the connectivity setup in a development environment. When finished, you deploy the setup in your production environment. To prevent messing up your production data, use different file locations for your development or testing environment and for your production environment. To strictly distinguish between different environments, you can define unique file action properties for each of your environment types. So, each file action can have a different set of properties for each applicable environment type. Which file action properties are applicable to the current environment is defined in the Environment type field on the Connectivity studio parameters. Example: If set to Development, the file action properties, as defined for environment type Development are applicable. |
| In the Environment types field, select an option. | |
|
Note: For each file action, you can repeat the sub-tasks for each of your environment types. To set the environment-specific properties of a file action, only change the environment type, find the file action, and set the properties. So, do not create a new file action for each environment type. |
|
| 6. | Expand the File action section. |
| 7. | Sub-task: Set up a Move file action with direction Source. |
| 7.1 | Click New. |
| 7.2 | In the Name field, type a value. |
| 7.3 | In the File action field, select 'Move'. |
| 7.4 | Click Save. |
| 7.5 | Define the name of the file to be moved. You can use filtering symbols. Example: CustGroup*.txt. |
| In the File name field, type a value. | |
| 7.6 | You can (temporarily) disable a flow action. Example: In a test setup, the setup to do the file action is not available. To prevent errors during test runs of the message, you disable the file action. In this way, you do not have to change or delete the file action. |
| Select Yes in the Skip field. | |
| 7.7 | Enter the UNC path to the applicable Azure file share or Windows folder. |
| In the Share field, type a value. | |
|
Note: You can only use a Windows folder if it has access control with a user and password defined. |
|
| 7.8 | Enter the user name to be used to access the Azure file share or Windows folder. To access an Azure file share, the user name is the name of the applicable Azure Storage Account. |
| In the User name field, type a value. | |
| 7.9 | Define the password or the password reference to access the Azure file share or Windows folder. Whether the password or password reference applies is defined by the Display secret field in the Connectivity studio parameters. If the Display secret parameter is set to: - Secret, fill in the Password field with the desired password or access key. The password or access key is specific for the current file action. - Secret reference, fill in the Password reference field with the desired secret reference. The password reference refers to a centrally stored password or access key which makes updating secrets easier. - Both, fill in either the Password field or the Password reference field. |
| In the Password field, or in the Password reference field, type a value. | |
|
Note: To access an Azure file share, the password is the key, or the password reference refers to the key of the applicable Azure Storage Account. |
|
| 7.10 | Enter the path to the Move folder of the connector. The file is moved from this folder to the Working folder. |
| In the Working path field, enter or select a value. | |
