Planview Portfolios REST API with ADF – The OData Feed
In the introduction, I explained the setup of the use case and why we need to use the OData feed: to get the list of Project IDs, because the REST API doesn’t have an endpoint for this. Weird, right? In this part of the series, we’ll dive into the Lookup activity, which uses the OData […]
Extracting Data from the Planview Portfolios REST API using ADF – Introduction
I have a client using Planview Portfolios to manage their PMO. As part of the data warehouse, we want to extract the project data from the Planview REST API. There are other methods to get data, such as using OData (which is used in the Power BI connector), SOAP Web Services (2005 called) and a […]

Speaking at the Future Data Driven Summit 2023
I’m going to give a lightning talk at the online (free) Future Data Driven Summit. The subject is How I saved 80% on my Azure Data Factory Costs. The abstract: Azure Data Factory (ADF) is the tool in the Azure cloud for creating your data pipelines. It allows you to move and transform data from […]
Reading AFAS REST API Data with Azure Logic Apps
Recently I had to read some REST API data using an Azure Logic App. The data itself comes from AFAS, a Dutch SaaS ERP company. In general, the process is mostly the same as reading the data with Azure Data Factory (check out this blog post to learn more): There’s a minor difference in how […]
