What is changing?
Aligning future investments
between LinkedIn and Microsoft
Dynamics 365
ATTRACT
Will be retired and will we will work with our customers to
transition to a comparable solution – such as LinkedIn
Human Resources Hub or one of several available ISVs in
App Source.
ONBOARD
Will be retired and we will work with our customers to
transition onboarding guides using export tools
CORE HR
Will be renamed and launched as Dynamics 365 Human
Resources. All roadmap investments will align to our new
product strategy and vision
Photo Placeholder
Dynamics 365 Human Resources will no longer be sold as of February 1, 2020.
ATTRACT – RETIRING FEBRUARY 1, 2022
Eligible customers using the Attract app may continue to use it through February 1, 2022 or until the end of
their most recent Dynamics 365 contract or renewal, whichever occurs first.
Microsoft will offer a data migration path to LinkedIn Talent Hub. The initial release of LinkedIn Talent Hub
supports customers with less than 1000 employees. Data export tools will be available from within Attract
to help customers transition to the Human Resources Acquisition solution of their choosing.
ONBOARD – RETIRING FEBRUARY 1, 2022
Eligible customers can continue using Onboard until the end of their most recent Dynamics 365 contract or
renewal.
Migration tools will be provided within the Onboard app to help customers export onboarding guides and
replacement templates.
CORE HR – BECOMES DYNAMICS 365 HUMAN RESOURCES ON FEBRUARY 1, 2020
Customers who are utilizing the core HR capabilities within Dynamics 365 Human Resources will have their service
continued under the Dynamics 365 Human Resources brand with no disruption in service. No migration is required.

1.Microsoft hybrid integration
platform offers a variety of
connectors. Custom connectors
can be built through Pro dev
extensibility approach
Through this extensibility you
can access proprietary data
sources, it can do a lot more to
enable integration of pro dev
code
2.OOB Template + OOB
Connector is available to
integrate CDS to Finance
and Operations
3. Dayforce integration is
based on DMF export
framework
Dayforce will produce a
GL transaction file and
place it in a blob storage
account specified in the
Dayforce Configuration

BYOD should be

solution. While you are
able to manipulate and
store whatever data you
want in the Azure SQL
database (such as for
data mashups), data
stored in the Azure SQL
database will not be
synchronized back to

High Potential performance
issues
• Batch data APIs are designed to handle large-volume data imports and exports. It's difficult to define what exactly qualifies as a large volume. The answer depends on the entity
• Batch data APIs are considered asynchronous integration patterns, because when these APIs are called, data is imported or exported in batch mode. For example, calls to the ImportFromPackage API can be synchronous

Challenges with today’s approach
Source and destination environments must be in the same
region
Canvas apps, flows, custom connectors, and connections)
will not be copied to the target environment. This copy
must be done using Admin Portal export/import option
If Target and Finance is not in the same regional cluster ,
Logic App integration may fail

Updates
Update policy
Updates are released on a regular cadence to all environments.
Service updates: Weekly updates that include bug fixes and new features. Service updates also include applicable
Platform updates when they release. To get an idea of when Platform updates are released, see Table 3: Platform
releases. Weekly updates usually release on Wednesdays.
Common Data Service solution updates: These updates occur approximately every six weeks, as needed. They
include new entities and changes to existing entities in Common Data Service. These updates release to the same
regions as the weekly updates, and they take about six weeks to replicate through all data centers. Solution updates
may or may not align with weekly service updates.For more information about weekly updates, https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/human-resources/hr-admin-whats-new
Preview features in a sandbox environment: You can validate preview features in a sandbox environment
before enabling them in your production environment. For more information about enabling features, see Feature
management overview.
All new features remain in preview for at least 30 days, and typically 30-60 days. Major features are generally available
in October and April of each year following the preview period. As soon as you see new capabilities in the Feature
management workspace, you can turn them on. Some features may be on by default
