Apply deployable package in Sandbox (BUILD) - D365FO

Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Hi all,

Recently I deploy a virtual machine to BUILD in Dynamics 365 for financial and operations and completed correctly this environment. Now I generated a deployable package in the sandbox from DEV and I appled it on BUILD too.

I have problems in BUILD, but I imported the file in the Asset library into my LCS project but I can´t to see it in the Maintain option (on the list of selection). When I look in DEV, I can to see the file and I can to select it and apply in this environment.

I don't know if I need to make another process or configure different my sandbox.

Thank you for your help.

    Hi diegoxc, what about to implement ISV deployment packages?, actually I have an ISV solution and I´m confused on how to implement it in a Build environment.

    Even though you could potentially build and package the application suite separately, i would advise against it. Otherwise you will get confused with other environments, and whether or not you deployed the package with everything (including app suite hotfixes) or only a newer version that didn't have app suite, since you made the assumption they are already deployed.

    Yes the size is large, but if you do it from an Azure VM it should be fast enough that you don't need to worry. I'd prefer staying consistent with what is in your deployable packages.

    Hello "Joris" applied a metadata hotfix set successfully using the following: yetanotherdynamicsaxblog.blogspot.com/.../how-do-you-update-operations-with.html , updates were applied in the Sandbox environment - Standard Acceptance Test, however now that I perform make a minor change to any code in my project and check-in the changes, build aplication from VSTS, the size of the file AXDeployableRuntime varies, once it includes hotfixes to the base application, it can inflate to over 700 MB. Creating the deployable package of my project from Visual Studio the size of only 3 to 5 Mb, from the VSTS build how can I reduce the size?  Thank you.

    Diego - the build VM is intended to be the one that "builds" the package. You code on DEV, check into source control. Then from vsts you run your build definition which will have that build VM create a deployable package. Assuming there are no errors, your VSTS will then have the deployable package which you can use to deploy to sandbox.

    It is not allowed to deploy package to build, since it's supposed to compile and create packages. That is why you don't see it in LCS, you can also update the build VM with platform updates - you cannot apply custom deployable packages.
