Change in base URLs for Business Central SaaS Tenants. I have noticed the Business Central links for Tenants have changed. For Production the URL in use will be https://businesscentral.dynamics.com/<Tenant ID>/Production whereas earlier the URL https://businesscentral.dynamics.com/<Tenant ID>/ For Sandbox the URL in use will be https://businesscentral.dynamics.com/<Tenant ID>/Sandbox whereas earlier the URL was the same as current URL This changes are mainly to distinguish between the multiple Production Tenants coming up in October with the 2019 Wave 2  Release. For now, both the Old and New Production Tenant URLs are operational. If you login through  https://home.dynamics.com/   or through Admin Center it will redirect you through the New URL. I will keep you posted as soon as notice an updates. #msdynbc #msftadvocate #businesscentral #changeinurls #msdyn365bc

In today's blog, we will be diving deeply into the validation of the data passed through the API endpoint, how it enters into the source tables and is manipulated to be inserted/modified into single or multiple tables.
