Hi Team.
I have done few customizations in TEST Model. and created a deployment package. Now I verified AOS Services folder
I saw in Bin folder few files are there related to TestModel*. Is it our customizations I mean source code?
As I know deployment package does not contained any source code.
Please give me more shed on this.
thanks!
Hi @rp@n,
A deployable package only contains the compiled binaries (runtime objects). There is not source code in a deployable package as it has no use to move source code to a UAT or production environment. The binaries are stored in the AOSService > Packages folder.
You can use DevOps source control where someone can get latest from checked- in objects, export and import a project file or export and import models.

Thanks Andre,
Kindly let me know in AOS service - bin folder, the test model* few files are there. What it does?
Kindly provide me the answer based on my original post
Please give me more shed on this
Thsnks!
Like mentioned above, these are runtime files/compiled binaries. These files are used for installing the solution and do ensure your customization is running on an environment where your package will be installed.
If you start with a new fresh model, also on your DEV environment there is the bin folder in your solution directory. Initially, it is quite empty until you build your source code. Then the runtime files will be created and placed in this folder. The Dynamics 365 solution takes these files to run your customizations.
So, can I say like ,in the bin folder the respective files like testModel* is contained source code in binary format.
Is it correct?
If no, then where source code get stored? I mean in which path...
Thanks!
No, it's not source code. The compilation process reads source code and create binaries (such as DLL files) from it. While source code is something that people can read and write, binaries are what computers can execute. As always, you can easily find more information about this process on internet.
Source code is not deployed to other environments; it's used in development environments only. The default location is AOSService\PackagesLocalDirectory folder (typically on C or K drive).
Thanks Martin,
Now It's cleared almost. Only one question
As you said "The compilation process reads source code..."
Please let me know from where it read the source code ?
Source code is stored in files (in the folder mentioned in my previous reply), therefore what the compiler reads obviously must be these files.
Sorry Martin, which previous reply. Kindly elaborate please
Hmm, is it really that difficult? There're two replies from me and in the second one, I referred to "my previous reply". So which one could it be?
Also, it was a reply to your question "where source code get stored?".
I searched and found
C:\AosService\WebRoot
Then search web.config file
then search Aos.PackageDirectory
am i right?
