View the Status of Synchronization Jobs

Use the Coupled Data Synchronization Errors page to view the status of synchronization jobs that have been run for coupled records in a Dataverse or Dynamics 365 Sales integrations. This includes jobs that were run from the job queue and manual synchronization jobs that ran on records from Business Central. For example, viewing their status is helpful when troubleshooting because it gives you access to details about errors related to coupled records. Typically, these types of errors are caused by user actions, for example, when:

  • Two people made a change to the same data in both business apps.
  • Someone deleted data in one of the apps, but not both.

Note

The Coupled Data Synchronization Errors page shows information about jobs related to coupled records. If you resolve all of the errors but records are still not synchronizing, it might have something to do with a setting for the integration. Typically, your administrator will need to resolve those types of errors.

Example

This video shows an example of how to troubleshoot errors that happened while synchronizing with Dataverse. The process will be the same for all integrations.

To view and resolve synchronization errors for coupled records

  1. Choose the Lightbulb that opens the Tell Me feature. icon, enter Coupled Data Synchronization Errors, and then choose the related link.
  2. The Coupled Data Synchronization Errors page shows issues that occurred when you synchronized coupled records. The following table includes actions that you can use to resolve issues one by one:
Action Description
Remove Coupling Uncouples the records and they will no longer synchronize. To restart the synchronization you must couple them again.
Retry and Retry All For each record where an error is found, synchronization is skipped unless you fix the issue. Retry will include the selected record in the next synchronization, and Retry All includes all of the records.
Synchronize The app will try to resolve a conflict where data was changed in both business apps. You can choose the data to use.
Restore Records and Delete Records These are useful when a record was deleted in one of the business apps. Delete Records deletes the record or row in the app where it still exists. Restore Records recreates the record or row in the business app where it was deleted.

Note

To reduce the number of conflicts you need to resolve, you can set up your integration table mappings to apply these actions automatically. For more information, Mapping Integration Tables.

To view the synchronization log for a specific (manually synchronized) record

  1. Open, for example, a customer, item or any other record that is synchronizing data between Business Central and Dataverse or Dynamics 365 Sales.
  2. Choose the Synchronization Log action to view the synchronization log for a selected record. For example, a specific customer you synchronized manually.

Remove Couplings Between Records

When something goes wrong in your integration and you need to uncouple records to stop synchronizing them, you can do so for one or more records at a time. You can uncouple one or more records from list pages or the Coupled Data Synchronization Errors page by choosing one or more lines and choosing Delete Coupling. You can also remove all couplings for one or more table mappings on the Integration Table Mappings page.

If an entity with a unidirectional coupling is deleted in Business Central, you must manually delete the broken coupling. To do that, on the Coupled Data Synchronization Errors page, choose the Find for Deleted action, and then delete the couplings.
