Scribe Integration to Microsoft Dynamics GP
We have used Scribe Integration tool for about 10 years now for a number of financial applications and our target is Microsoft Dynamics GP. We are currently using it with GP 2016 and it works very well for us. It allows us to rely on the business rules validation that Scribe uses when integrating financial data to GP. We are using Scribe at my specific location and I know it is used in other locations as well. Using Scribe to integrate data allows our users to continue using the same business apps they always used instead of keying the data in GP.
- Offer integration for various modules of GP.
- Groups and alerts are easy to set-up.
- Initial configuration and installation are lengthy.
- Does not roll back all errors.
We are using TIBCO Cloud Integration (including BusinessWorks and Scribe) for providing various accounting services to our clients and in addition to this, we are also using TIBCO Cloud Integration (including BusinessWorks and Scribe) for providing a consolidated, single user experience for better and aligned engagements within our organization. The major scope is to benefit from the cloud features like scalability, flexibility and high availability and at the same time cater to our client needs. We really like that TIBCO Cloud Integration (including BusinessWorks and Scribe) works seamlessly with our legacy systems and with some effort we are moving in the right direction by migrating on premises services to cloud platform.
- Automation of development pipelines
- Use of microservices for Agile SDLC
- Automation of business process and workflows
- Still figuring out debugging
- Integration with other TIBCO tools can be a tedious task

TIBCO and Sales Order Process.
Our Sales Order process is heavily reliant on TIBCO-Scribe as an interface between our CRM and Accounting ERP. This includes the creation of new customer and vendor accounts and sales orders into the Accounting system. Our quotes and orders are initially generated out of CRM and then duplicated in the Accounting system for customer, vendor, purchase, and sales invoice creation. Final data are synced back to the CRM from the Accounting System. We built and scheduled for execution TIBCO maps around our sales order processes.
- The UI is easy to navigate and map flows are intuitive and easy to build upon after some basic training. However, a user should have some basic knowledge of writing nested statements.
- Very responsive customer support.
- The debug feature is a great tool for troubleshooting. You can easily identify where the issue is in your flow. At each debug step, it returns the expected value, and when there isn't the expected value, you know when to modify your flow.
- It seems to struggle with being able to query large data sets. It would error out when attempting to query about 15K customer accounts.
- Training. I had to look on the internet for some videos to understand how the control boxes work. When we initially installed TIBCO we received a crash course. You need someone with a good analytical, technical, or data background to use this tool.
- Error messages doesn't always match the issue causing the error.

Reasons to use TCI
TCI is used to integrate Business systems with SAP systems. Volume of transactions vary dynamically depending on time and day of business. Sometime 100000 messages are expected in an hour or less and system resource utilization was a bottle, implementing solution with TCI resolved as it was easy to integrate other systems which are already on cloud and resource scaling was flexible enough to change dynamically
- Security policies for authorization and authentication
- Error handling made easy
- Plugins to connect with systems
- Logging - providing a inbuilt log framework
- Feature to easily generate yaml files

TCI worth a try
TCI (FLOGO, BW6, Mashery) is used for integration of SaaS application including to integrations with on-prem applications. Use cases e.g are synchronisation of users from the HR application and retrieval of flight data from the source application
- Transform data
- combine data from several sources
- retrieve data from different sources using SOAP or REST webservices
- debug facilities in BW6, more possibilities for detailed unit testing, testing xslts etc...
- use of eclipse makes it slow
- in BW5 internal xsds could be used so that not everything needs a separate xsd definition. This option is gone in BW6...

TIBCO means successful data migration/integration
Used TIBCO for migration of our data for our learning management
system.
TIBCO, is useful for successful Content ,data migration(courses,
classes, registrations, transcripts etc.) ,User migration(Internal users and
Partner migration)and Report migration
Integrations with different applications Workday, Single Sign-On, CertTracker,
Okta, Partner contact sync and Questionmark is successful.
LOD: Learn on demand is a third party vendor application where all
Virtual classes are delivered by the vendor application. Learning management
system sends the class and registration events to learn on demand via real time
web service call through TIBCO

Great for Dynamics CRM
We use TIBCO Cloud Integration to synchronize our ERP data with the CRM. It is used for six companies in Europe. As the ERP is the leading system, the source data always comes from Infor LN and Sage B7 ERP. This data is integrated into three different On-Premise Microsoft Dynamics CRMs. Most of the data is synchronized daily and partly every few minutes to keep the CRM data up to date.
- Easy integration, even for non-programmers
- It can connect to a lot of different systems/databases easily
- The support is helpful and questions are answered fast and professionally. And if nothing helps, you get remote live-support
- Good on-site training available
- It is fast and (the CRM module) has the ability to cache query results
- Export and import of mappings are very easy
- Easy change of connections in (imported) mappings
- The debugger is a pain. Sometimes it is hard to find an issue
- It is not possible to split the integrations into steps. You need to copy/paste (and maintain) integration-steps that are used in multiple integrations
- You cannot call a flow from another flow
We have been suggesting TIBCO Cloud Integration Scribe Online as our preferred tool for all the integration scenarios that includes Dynamics 365. For clients who prefer on-premise we suggest scribe insight. Currently, we have implemented Scribe Online in 2 of our projects. It involved moving Data from legacy systems to Dynamics CRM.
- Scribe online helps support complex integration scenarios especially in case of XML structure with parent-child relationships.
- Scribe online interface is very user friendly and intuitive.
- It doesn't require any programming skills to implement to complex scenarios.
- We faced one issue with The XML Source component of Scribe Insight which wasn't not in the Scribe Online version. "Repeating nodes are not supported for cousins, siblings, etc. Multiple repeating nodes must be related linearly to repeating nodes that already exist. Thus, a new repeating node must be a grandparent, parent, child, grandchild, etc., to an existing repeating node." The product can be updated to include the repeating nodes support.
- Scribe Insights Interface can be updated and be made more user friendly - basically like the Scribe Online interface
- Cost is also one of the factor, usually, when it comes to Dynamics CRM/365 Integration most of the places, we have customers using KingswaySoft instead of Scribe.
We currently use it to integrate ms CRM 2016 with Hubspot. And we run a few other update jobs in CRM.
- Connector towards Hubspot and MS CRM works good for Scribe.
- Incremental updates based off last run date.
- Building blocks in Scribe work fine.
- Annoying lockout of webapp during development.
- Error handling is not so informative.
- Help and support info is not the best.
- Functions, lookups and more technical features are not as good as SSIS.

Tibco Scribe, Dynamics CRM, and Dynamics GP
We use Scribe to integrate Dynamics CRM with Dynamics GP.
- Performs calculated data transformations on the fly.
- Schedules recurring jobs with great flexibility.
- Allows granular selection of notifications.
- User interface isn't as intuitive as it could be.
TIBCO Cloud Integration (including BusinessWorks and Scribe) is used by a semiconductor manufacturing department. It is mainly used to call services to retrieve data between different systems with different protocols. We use the TIBCO Rendezvous protocol behind BusinessWorks and SOAP for invoking web services. It is used (very efficiently) for logistics management and positioning products in the department. Developing, deploying, and monitoring TIBCO Cloud Integration (including BusinessWorks and Scribe) applications is straightforward, and logging and centralization make it easy to detect problems.
- Robustness
- Simplicity for designing solutions
- Ability to connect to multiple sources
- Easy to debug
- Easy to use drag and drop in Designer
- Integration with native self-built Java modules is difficult
- Can be less heavy on memory use
- Difficult for users with no IT experience
We use TIBO to integrate our ERP systems with our Dynamics CRM cloud instances and use it across the whole group. The main focus is to get customer master data in the CRM system including orders, quotes, and KPIs. Most of the integrations are daily synchronization jobs that sync all daily changes into the CRM systems. Partly we have triggered integrations to sync leads from CRM back to ERP.
- Great UI
- Easy to build logic
- Easy datamapping
- Very reliable
- Integration templates for "standard use cases."
- Performance increase for large bulk jobs (average around 3 seconds per record but can be more).
- Licensing not based on solutions.

Great experience with Scribe Online integration
We use Scribe for copying data from MS Dynamics CRM cloud to our on-premise servers in a scheduled manner. It is being used by our department for internal use.
- Flexible scheduling of jobs for SQL server.
- Reliability of data copies from cloud to on-premise.
- Custom one-time jobs can also be created (both small and big) as per user requirements.
- On some occasions, the scheduled jobs fail due to technical glitches. This can be improved for better user experience.

Scribe Replication Service Issues
Scribe Replication Service (RS) is used only by me to replicate 73 MS CRM 365 entities to an Azure SQL Database, used as a "data warehouse". The 73 tables in our Azure SQL database are updated by the RS every night. The intent was to have a copy of the most useful CRM entities in the cloud for reporting purposes with Power BI.
- Daily Replication succeeds without errors more often than not.
- The Replication Service does not include the ability to "pre-filter" the data in any way, i.e., it gets ALL records from the beginning of time and ALL columns, many of which are not used in CRM.
- Several errors with records that fail to be processed are frequently reported, including "Execution timeout expired", "data would be truncated", and "Cannot insert duplicate key row". I've opened support cases for these, but none seem to have a solution I can use.
- The row counts of all entities replicated should be approximately equal to the row counts in the source database, but several entities' counts are significantly different.
- In the Scribe Online web app pages, the error details panel cannot be resized andruns off the bottom of the screen, making impossible to read the entire error message.

Scribe - Easy to Use, Functional and Fantastic
We use Scribe to transfer data between multiple systems. From our account/contract system to our CRM system, as well as from our CRM system to another database.
Scribe plays a major role in making sure we have data integrity across multiple systems. It allows to avoid manual updates of data between system, which is crucial when we have limited staff. This allows staff to focus on other job duties.
- The creation of integration maps is straightforward.
- The ability to schedule when solutions are run is of great value because we need to have systems updated in a particular order. Scheduling makes this easy.
- When errors do occur, the error messages give enough information to allow us to diagnose how we need to fix records as necessary.
- The system could be a little faster when navigating within maps. Sometimes there are delays while the page loads.
- There could be more examples of how to use Scribe in the documentation.
- I would suggest that Scribe provide suggestions when sending error messages eg Have you tried to refresh the metadata? This would save contacting support for some people.
We use Tibco Scribe to bring the data from our Dynamics 365 CRM Cloud environment to our on-premise data warehouse. We use this data in our BI environment, where our business users use it to create dashboards and reports. The sync is done on a daily basis using a manually selected set of Dynamics 365 CRM entities.
- The setup of both the sending as the receiving side is easy, you don't really need expert skills to set up the "technical" part.
- We don't need a complicated ETL tool to extract the data from the Cloud environment.
- The overall management of what needs to be synchronized is straight forward.
- Thanks to the specific SCRIBE fields in the receiving database we have a track of deleted records (for which we don't have anything in the CRM database).
- The synchronization is not fast and seems to do some unnecessary work.
- Selecting the entities to synchronize is quite tedious, you need to scroll through quite a big list (especially when you have a lot of custom entities) a filter would be welcome.
- You need to manually update the metadata of the sending connection to see newly created entities, it would be nice if you could schedule those tasks too.
- We already had quite some situations where MS changed things in the data model of CRM that caused issues in the sync tasks.

TIBCO Scribe Is a Powerful, Drag-and-Drop Tool for Data Integration and Transformation
We currently use Scribe for data integration between our CRM (Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement) and our ERP (an old AS400) as well as our CRM and our external website (HubSpot). We are also migrating to a new ERP (Dynamics 365 Business Central) and Scribe continues to play a roll in keeping our data integrated. Besides "near real-time" updates for data used is both systems, we also use Scribe for massive data uploads and edits (such as with our new ERP), as well as transferring data from our ERP into line-of-business model-driven PowerApps using the Common Data Service. Obviously, being connected so much with our CRM, much of the usage is for Sales and Marketing. But Finance, Purchasing, and our Creative Labs and Quality Control Labs also benefit.
- Near-real time integration of multiple systems along with data validation and translation in the integration maps.
- Integration Events have also been used in the past to display related data from a different system on-load, rather than always copying data and storing it in multiple places.
- Massive data uploads are useful, for example, when adding a new field to records and loading correct data on all the records as a starting place.
- TIBCO Scribe also has so many connectors. We've used D365CE, D365BC, SQL, Excel, HubSpot, and ODBC.
- Logic built into the functions and drag and drop actions make creating maps pretty painless and very powerful.
- Some level of beginner training would be great. There are some commands that aren't immediately clear what the slight difference is between each one and what scenarios make one command better than another.
- Similarly, example Scribe maps could also be useful, if that's possible. Again, it was a little slow for me getting started and seeing examples always makes things easier for me to understand.

Scribe Online: Use it
We offer Scribe to multiple customers as a Microsoft partner. Our most common uses are one-off migrations from legacy systems to dynamics 365 or ongoing integrations between dynamics 365 and another system.
- Point and click design for integration maps
- Simple scheduling of integrations
- Useful error reporting
- Since moving to Scribe online: no publisher
- Online editor can be sluggish: lagging
- Debug should mimic a commit not actually commit
- Improve having live and testing integrations in one tenancy
