# Starting update
**The original repository "[microsoft/bc2adls](https://github.com/microsoft/bc2adls)" is in read-only mode. But since a lot of partners are using this tool, we want to develop it further as open source software. A special thanks to the creators of this tool: [Soumya Dutta](https://www.linkedin.com/in/soumya-dutta-07813a5/) and [Henri Schulte](https://www.linkedin.com/in/henrischulte/), who put a lot of effort into it!**

## Introduction

The **bc2adls** tool is used to export incremental data from [Dynamics 365 Business Central](https://dynamics.microsoft.com/en-us/business-central/overview/) (BC) to [Microsoft Fabric ](https://learn.microsoft.com/nl-nl/fabric/get-started/microsoft-fabric-overview) or [Azure Data Lake Storage](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/blobs/data-lake-storage-introduction).

## Documentation

For detailed documentation, installation guides, and setup instructions, please visit our [Wiki](https://github.com/Bertverbeek4PS/bc2adls/wiki).

### On-Premises Note
On BC On-Premises, the server configuration setting `DisableWriteInsideTryFunctions` is set to `True` by default. This blocks database writes (including IsolatedStorage) inside TryFunction procedures, which can cause token cache errors. If you encounter issues with the token cache, set `DisableWriteInsideTryFunctions` to `False` in your BC server configuration. See [Microsoft documentation on TryFunction behavior](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/business-central/dev-itpro/developer/devenv-handling-errors-using-try-methods) for details.

## Testimonials

Here are a few examples of what our users are saying ...

> “After careful consideration we, as Magnus Digital, advised VolkerWessels Telecom, a large Dutch telecom company, to use and exploit the features of BC2ADLS. We see BC2ADLS currently as the only viable way to export data from Business Central to Azure Data Lake at large scale and over multiple administrations within BC. By the good help of Soumya and Henri, we were able to build a modern data warehouse in Azure Synapse with a happy customer as result.”

&mdash; Bas Bonekamp, [Magnus Digital](https://www.magnus.nl/)

> “With the bc2adls we have found a way to export huge amount of data from Business Central to a data warehouse solution. This helps us allot to unburden big customers to move to Business Central Online. Also it is easy to use for our customers so they can define their own set of tables and fields and schedule the exports.”

&mdash; Bert Verbeek, [4PS](https://www.4ps.nl/)

> “I can't believe how simple and powerful loading data from  Business Central is now. It's like night and day—I'm loving it!”

&mdash; Mathias Halkjær Petersen, [Fellowmind](https://www.fellowmindcompany.com/)

> “At Kapacity we have utilized the bc2adls tool at several customer projects. These customer cases span from small a project with data extract from 1-3 companies in Dynamics Business Central SaaS (BC) to an enterprise solution with data extract from 150 companies in BC. bc2adls exports multicompany data from BC til Azure Data Lake Storage effectively with incremental updates. The bc2adls extension for BC is easy to configure and maintain. The customer can add new entities (tables and fields) to an existing configuration and even extend the data extract to include new company setup. We have transformed data with the Azure Synapse pipelines using the preconfigured templates from the bc2adls team. The data analyst queries this solution in Power BI using the Shared Metadata db on Serverless SQL. In the enterprise project we did the data transformation using Azure Databricks. Thanks to the bc2adls team providing these tools and great support enabling us to incorporate this tool in our data platform.”

&mdash; Jens Ole Taisbak, [TwoDay Kapacity](https://www.kapacity.com/)

> “We have had great success using the BC2ADL tool. It is well thought out and straightforward to implement and configure. The Microsoft team that develops the tool continues to add new features and functionality that has made it a great asset to our clients. We looked to the BC2ADL tool to solve a performance issue in reporting for Business Central. Using the BC2ADL tool along with Synapse Serverless SQL we have been able to remove the primary reporting load from the BC transactional database, which has helped alleviate a bottleneck in the environment. When the BC2ADL tool was updated to export from the replicated BC database we were able to really take full advantage of the process and provide intraday updates of the Azure Data Lake with no noticeable affect on BC performance. The Microsoft team has been extremely helpful and responsive to requests from the community on feature requests and support.”
