Posted on by 38

Hi All,

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/business-central/dev-itpro/developer/devenv-api-pagetype


I have successfully able to create custom API page for "vendor bank account" list in business central online sandbox environment by using above link and it worked as expected..


I did the same steps for online production environment but while I am trying to download symbols for production environment its shows the below error in VS code..

This is my launch json file and made some modification for production environment. I don't know what I'm missing. Kindly help me to fix this issue..

    Hello,

    You can only develop against a Sandbox. A  Sandbox can be a copy of production.

    Thank you.

    Hi Marco Mels

    I'm new to business central custom development.

    Thanks for your answer.

    I inspect the both production and sandbox environments. I can only access the sandbox table using my API.

    how can I access the table(Vendor bank accounts) data from production environment using the custom API.

    please share your thoughts...

    Hi, You don't have direct access to the Production environment in VS Code other than using Snapshot Debugging. (Although that's not direct access either).

    I think your problem now is, how to install the program into the Production environment.

    I think there should be a xxx.app file in your VS Vode project.

    Try to upload this file on Extension Management page.
