Olister Rumao's Dynamics 365, Office 365, NAV / Business Central and Power Platform - Blog

Introduction: With my previous blog, I had explained how to configure CI/CD for Microsoft Dynamics Business Central. The only drawback when it comes to developing in VS Code Online is that it works with Base Operating System as Linux. Which implies that the ALC(Application Language Compiler) built for Windows has to also work on Linux but it doesn't.
Because of which it becomes difficult to compile your Business Central projects in VS Code Online.
In this blog I will be attempting to collaborate VS Code Online with Azure Pipelines to get things running with auto-deployment.

Problem:
A friend of mine was looking to migrate their Business Central development and support from one partner to another.
While, asking me for advice, I was evaluating what was the best solution knowing that their Business Central had customization installed and I found this which made it easy for them as their going to continue customizing Business Central from another partner.

Solution:
In Business Central version 14 Sandbox, you are allowed to Download Source Code.
But in Business Central version 14 Production, this was not the case. No Apps. could have been downloaded even though you got it developed from a Partner/ Developer and installed from them.

In Business Central version 15 Sandbox, you are allowed to Download Source Code just like you would in Business Central Version 14 Sandbox.
  And this is also the same condition  for Business Central version 15 Production tenant as well.

Without this, the possible solution to get your app source code back from Production, you would …

Introduction: While Business Central upgrades from Version 14 to Version 15, there are few deprecation and additions done by Microsoft to the Base Application. These deprecation are good in terms of getting better systems as it upgrades.
The drawbacks of Deprecation is that your App needs to be upgraded as well as it use BaseApp as reference. Additionally, additions done are good but when you Extension App clashes with Upgraded Base App.
Let us discuss.

Problem Statement: Every document that goes out or comes into Business Central requires some kinda validation to check its originality which confirms the confidentiality of the document.
