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..

        {

    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.

    Here is a similar example:

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks.

    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...

    Hello,

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

    Thank you.
