Hi,

You could use package deployer for deployment which is a part of CRM SDK.

docs.microsoft.com/.../dn688182(v=crm.8)

If you want to go for Continuous Integration, you can try DYnamics 365 Build Tools: marketplace.visualstudio.com/items

Here are few links which could help you-

For build management you can use: Developer Toolkit

For Release management you can use: xRM CI/CD Framework

Hi all, thank you for all your help.

Right now I'm trying out the Dynamics 365 Build Tools by Wael Hamze. Any idea where should I put the CRM Credentials? Right now I'm having issues Unable to Login to Dynamics CRM.

What is the correct syntax for the Connection String? I'm using D365 Online (Latest, Trial).

Hi My connection looks like this... apparently username and password are variables. Rest speaks for itself.

Hi Pranav, Thank you for helping!!

These parameters "$(CRMUserName)" and $(CRMPass). How can I configure that on my side?

For me, I'm putting the values directly..

Also, your URL doesn't include Orgname?

Here's mine,

Url=portalname.crm5.dynamics.com/org4f7c030c; Username=admin@portalname.onmicrosoft.com; AuthType=Office365;

Hi Pranav, thanks for the info. I'm able to connect by using a different organization that is not a Trial environment. Not sure if there are issues connecting with the Trial Version.
