There are two D365 for Operations development environments: A and B
A - belongs to LCS impelementation project.
B - within LCS partner project.
As you might guess, such situation is to avoid more expenses: MS would want us/customer to purchase another DEV box in the LCS implementation project above, but it's more reasonable to use partners' Azure accont.
Both environments are set up against the same VSTS, and version works fine. Build server is not set up yet, though. Early design phase. Solutions are not identical. Reason for this: several ISV solutions are installed in the A (before VSTS was set up), that are not present in B.
Now I want my B to be as much as possible similar/identical to A. I would like to avoid manually installing the same packages in A. They're some 8..10. What would be the best approach?
- shall Build environment (when it will be set up) take care of this?
- LCS can't help me here a lot, since A and B are not in the same LCS project. Or can it?
- can VSTS synchronize the packages from A to B, by including their model descriptors and eventually other files?
- or this will never work?
p.s. I have read "Apply a deployable package to a Finance and Operations environment" and have read other forum topics like https://community.dynamics.com/ax/f/33/t/237855 and other. But most of them are cover topics like "moving changes from DEV to TEST" or "installing a single package in my onebox". But in my case there is a number of packages and two (or several, in future) DEV environments.
Thank you!
