To start using ConnectIT, you will first have to provide some information and preferences on the setup card.
The easiest way to do this is to start the Setup Wizard. This wizard will configure the general setup, however it is also possible to manually configure the ConnectIT setup or modify the setup after using the wizard.
On the General tab, fill out your license key and make sure the ‘Status’ field shows a green ‘Valid’.
If you are using Business Central in a cloud environment, leave ConnectIT API at its default choice ‘Cloud’.
Are you using Business Central on Prem, in certain cases it can be necessary to self-host the ConnectIT API.
The following fields are available on the General tab:
Field | Description |
|---|---|
License Key | Specifies the license key used for the ConnectIT 365 installation. |
Status | Specifies the status for the license key. This is updated when the setup card page is opened.
|
ConnectIT API | Specifies if the cloud or self-hosted version of the ConnectIT API should be used.
|
ConnectIT API Base-URL | Specifies the base URL for the ConnectIT API. Only required when using a self-hosted API. |
On the Processing tab default options are available that can be configured for new export/import definitions. These are optional processing configuration options that will not be set automatically when the Setup Wizard is used.
The following fields are available on the Processing tab:
Field | Description |
|---|---|
Maximum No. of Retry Attempts | Specifies the default maximum number of retry attempts for export/import entries to be processed. This value will be used when a new definition is created, but can also be changed for specific definitions. If the value is set to 0, this means that the export/import process will not try to re-process an entry with errors. |
On the No. Series tab, select No. Series for the import definitions, export definitions, tasks (flow) and endpoints.
If the setup wizard is used, these No Series will automatically be created.
If you turn on ‘Use Mapping Helper’, ConnectIT will try to map tables and fields automatically when creating import definitions from .json/.xml files.
On the Logging tab, select the default logging level. You can choose between several levels, ranging from ‘None’ to ‘Debug’.
This is the default logging level that will be used for new definitions.
It is also possible to different logging levels for each definition, which can be configured in the logging setup or on the import/export definitions.
The following fields are available on the General tab:
Field | Description |
|---|---|
Default Logging Level | Specifies the default logging level for new Export/Import Definitions. The default v.alue for new installations will be Information, which is also recommended for a production environment. |
Log Job Queue Entries | Specifies if alert notifications should be sent when the Job Queue Entry for export or imports fails with an error. This will trigger an e-mail with error message and callstack to the E-Mail Recipients. |
Restart on Error | Specifies if ConnectIT 365 should try to restart the Job Queue Entry after failing with an error. This will try to set the Job Queue Entry to status Ready with earliest starting date time set to 5 minutes from now. |
E-Mail Recipients | Specifies the E-Mail Recipients for the e-mail alert notification after the Job Queue Entry fails with an error. Please note that this uses the standard E-Mail Accounts functionality to determine the sender and e-mail server. |
On the Alerts tab, optionally a Twillio account can be added in case you like to use WhatsApp and/or SMS functionality to get informed in case of processing errors.
