Abstract

The Routing Framework is a general synchronization framework between Sitecore and an external system. Dynamics Integration Routing designed to synchronize Dynamics AX catalog data with Sitecore.

The SDK contains samples that transform catalog data from Dynamics AX ® for Retail into a format that can be imported into Commerce Server. These samples can be modified by customers or partners for custom transformation of data to support their specific business requirements.

The routing framework deployed with an example to work with the Contoso Online Store provided by AX sample data. Only minor changes are required, such as authentication, to get it up and running.
