How to add an existing model to Azure DevOps (VSTS)

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by FlorinF

Hello !

I want to setup TFS with D365FO  8.1

How can I add all the existing source code to TFS from an existing developer machine? I have a dev machine in which TFS was not used from the start and now I want all the code changes to be uploaded in TFS. In Ax2012 we had "Add model to version control", is there similar functionality in D365FO? I can create some mappings to x:\AosService\PackagesLocalDirectory\ but I don't know the folder structure that must be created in TFS and also don't want the whole PackagesLocalDirectory uploaded in TFS.

Tutorials shows you how to set TFS starting from existing repository but not how to create an repository from existing customized models.

Thank you

    The mapping is necessary, of course.

    Then for each model, all the folder with the model (not the whole package) and the descriptor file. For example, if I have MyModel inside MyPackage, I'll add the whole folder PackagesLocalDirectory\MyPackage\MyModel and the descriptor file PackagesLocalDirectory\MyPackage\Descriptor\MyModel.xml.

    In D365FO you don't have any specific functionality for adding stuff to version control. But Visual Studio has such functionality and you use it also with D365FO.

    You should map x:\AosService\PackagesLocalDirectory\ with [YourADOProject]/Trunk/[Branch]/Metadata

    And Visual Studio 2015 / Projects with [YourADOProject]/Trunk/[Branch]/Projects

    I think the folder structure is created automatically when you setup LCS - ADO integration.
