Parts of an integration

The process of extracting data from source applications or databases and bringing the data into a destination is called an integration. Integration Manager provides you with a safe and easy way of integrating data between business applications. You can integrate data from external business databases, an e-commerce solution, or other data file types into the Microsoft Dynamics GP application.

An integration contains sources, destinations, and destination mappings.

• Sources include the data to integrate into a destination. Source data can originate from text files, ODBC databases, and XML files. With Integration Manager, you can integrate text and ODBC source data. You also may integrate source data from XML files.
• A destination indicates where to integrate your source data. Integration Manager allows you to integrate data to destinations in Microsoft Dynamics GP.
• The destination mapping indicates where each item from your source data goes in the destination.

To guide you through the process, the Integration window shows the parts of an integration that you need to set up.
