Can I have an extension for Business Central that works for Cloud and On-premise?

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by

Hello, everyone.

I'm starting with Business Central and I need to develop an extension for it with some custom web services and that sends some data and receive it too.

The thing is: I will have to do this for the Cloud version and for the On-premise too.

Hence, my questions:

1) Is it possible to have the same extension working for the two versions?

2) If not, I could re-use a lot of the same code, right?

3) Would it be recommended?

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,

Fabiano

    1) Absolutely yes, this is the default behavior when you create an extension with AL:GO!

    If you want to have an extension that works only on premise, set Target="OnPrem" in app.json.

    This is absolutely recommended and you should always develop with the default settings.
