How to use the global Discovery Service after Microsoft deprecated the regional Discovery Service using COZYROC Dynamics CRM Connector.

How to connect to Dynamics 365 after Microsoft deprecated the regional Discovery Service.

After Microsoft has deprecated the regional Discovery Service as mentioned here. COZYROC has added a new parameter in the 2.0 version 2.0.100.1956 of COZYROC SSIS+.

In order to see the new parameter, you will need to upgrade to the latest 2.0 version or 2.0.100.1956 and after and explicitly specify the organization service address in the new parameter named "OrganizationURL".  The new parameter can be found by right clicking the Dynamics CRM Connector and selecting Properties and then scrolling to find the "OrganizationURL".

Note: When you are trying to create the connection from scratch you can't select Organization due to the changes, then the Dynamics CRM Connection is not created and therefore you cannot right-click the connection manager to see the properties window to update the new parameter.  A shortcut might be to find a Dynamics CRM Connection that existed prior to Microsoft's changes and then begin the configurations from there. This issue is solved in COZYROC SSS+ version 2.0.100.2249 and after.
If you get the Error Message: "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" when trying to switch the Organization drop down, it is because the Dynamics 365 discovery service has been disabled by Microsoft.  The organization can no longer be chosen from the Organization pick list. Follow this KB article to resolve the error.




The customer can find the value to enter into this parameter by searching for the organization url in the Dynamics CRM developer panel. See the following steps:

1. Click the "Settings" icon and choose "Advanced Settings".

2. Click "Settings" dropdown, then choose "Customizations".


3. Choose "Developer Resources".


4. The endpoint under the "Organization Services" is what is needed for the "OrganizationURL".
