How to perform data validation on data from source files into CRM Dynamics 2013 - dynamics-crm-2013

Is it possible to perform data validation on fields from external source files(.csv,xml,txt) using the out of the box CRM Import Wizard? or do I need to perform validation using the CRM Web service SDK in say a plugin or so, please advice on best approach for this m i would really appreciate it.

The best place to do data validations is in plugins, i.e. in the pre-validation and pre-operation stages of the create and update messages.

How to migration existing V1 Json data-factory template to V2 version and use the MS migration tool

Have requirement to migrate the Azure data factory v1 jobs to V2 version.Tried using the existing migration tool by MS its not working giving error.Need help and advice ,how to achieve the migration and what best option or approach can be followed .Also any way to validate the Json template before deployment.
Tried with the MS v1 to v2 tool.Its giving error can't covert also tried directly connecting portal by tool.. same error. Any powershell script or other method where can divide the json and make it v2 format and validate same quickly.
Suggest the best practice or method to be followed.Any existing case study or reference which done this activity will be really helpful.
Based on my research and this thread,it seems that only v1 to v2 migration tool could be chosen so far.
See documentation for more on the differences between V1 and V2, and ADF V2 offers richer control flow, authoring, and monitoring capabilities.
If you crashed into error while using the tool, the migration tool allows for direct feedback to be submitted in the tool itself.
More details, please refer to this blog.

How to migrate ArcGis Online data to external database?

I am using Arcgis Online. I want to migrate my feature layers (data which stored in esri's internal database) to external database.
Can anyone help me to figure out how I can do it? Also how can I use external database in my Application(PostgreSQL/Neo4j).What I need is, to host my own database server like neo4j and use as a replacement of feature-table provided by ArcGis.
Thanks,
Tarni
You have many options for downloading data from ArcGIS Online.
If you do not have many feature services, the easiest way would be to go to "My Content", then find your feature service. You should see an "Export Data" option towards the top-right.
If you have multiple feature services, you could repeat the directions above, but choose "Open in ArcGIS Desktop". This will download a file that will set up the connection in ArcMap for you. You can also hit the services directly from ArcGIS Desktop by going to "My Hosted Services" in ArcCatalog and logging in.
Another option is to use a Python script. This may be best if you have alot of data, and if the data is updated frequently. Check out https://github.com/tedrick/SyncSurvey for an example of getting data repeatedly from a feature service.

Why don't you want to use standard approach called solutions?
To migrate changes you can create Solution, add changed components into it, export solution from source system and then import this solution to target system.

We have Oracle 11g base HR System. Now our requirement is to make some workflow on SharePoint 2010. So we comeup to the decission that we will make webpart to insert, update and retrive records from Oracle and then we will start workflow on that.
So my question was, is it possible to start workflow without is list or document library. If yes than how can I get some idea on that. Some URL where I can find more details.
Kindly let me know if I am going in wrong direction. Please help on that.
You can have site level workflows in SharePoint 2010 which can run without list or a library.
See:
http://www.sharepointbriefing.com/spcode/article.php/3910746/Using-SiteLevel-Workflows-in-SharePoint-2010.htm
However, there is not much information available in the question to evaluate weather its the right option or not. It depends on what is the workflow requirement etc.

Regarding sharepoint and SQL data store

I have to create a web form and store all kinds of data from the page, the data will be text, num, email and checkboxes.
I have to store them in a database SQL. I have to deploy the same page in the sharepoint server and users will be able to use that page to fillin the details once the details are filled in it should be loaded in to the SQL seperate databse.
could anybody tell me what would be the best approach.
Please give me rough idea so that I will take the steps to get it complete.
Do you have to use a SQL database? You could simply use SharePoint lists for this type of functionality.
If you HAVE to use SQL then look at Business Connectivity Services through SharePoint Designer 2010, or if you are using WSS 3.0 or MOSS 2007 then look at creating custom web parts.
