BC2ADLS. Business Central Data to Fabric or Data Lake
What is BC2ADLS?
BC2ADLS is a freeware tool that takes Dynamics Business Central Data to Microsoft Fabric or to a Data Lake.
It was originally built by 2 Microsoft Employees as an example on how data from Business Central could be made available for Analytics in Azure.
More info can be found here: https://github.com/microsoft/bc2adls
They are not supporting the tool anymore, but there are forks, like https://github.com/Bertverbeek4PS/bc2adls
Why use BC2ADLS
BC2ADLS is quite easy to setup on newer versions of Business Central - both in 365 versions and OnPrem versions. It is also quite performant.
