Hi Experts,
 
I have a requirement where if Microsoft releases new version then we would like to know if there is any data entities are became obsolete if so we need to find if there any extension we have in our ISV model.
 
For this I was just hoping If I could use this var extensionName = Microsoft.Dynamics.AX.Metadata.Storage.DataEntityViewExtensionLoader::GetExtensionName(metaData, qualifiedName); it expect two parameters I have tried multiple ways to pass like below 
Microsoft.Dynamics.AX.Metadata.MetaModel.AxDataEntityViewExtension meteData= new Microsoft.Dynamics.AX.Metadata.MetaModel.AxDataEntityViewExtension();
and Qualified name as entityName I am not sure what does this function accepts as the passing parameters. Can anyone share some insight ?
 
Regards
Guru

    Thanks Martin for your response,
     
    I our ISV solution we have many customizations over multiple standard entities, our idea is to build the workspace load the entities post the upgrade so that we can just see everything on the workspace (Obsolete/new) rather than going through individual object or the warning.

    Just compile the code and check compiler warnings. If you have a reference to an obsolete entity, you'll get a warning like this:
     
    Referenced object 'TradeOpenTradeAgreementJournalHeaderEntity' is marked as obsolete.
     
    Do you have a case when this doesn't work for you?
