hi
Does anyone have an example on how to use this utility to build D365 application from command line? I could not find any. :( Looking to build entire application.
Please let me know if you have a sample command that I can use. Don't want reinvent the wheel if possible :)
regards
harry
You can (and should) check in binaries (instead of source case) in this case. Why do you say it's not an option? It's commonly done and recommended by MS engineers (although I'm not sure without checking if it's covered in documentation).
Thanks for the link by the way. It seems if we check-in ISV models then problem is completely solved. I dont know why at go-live Microsoft recommended not to do that. :( I have opened a discussion with Microsoft support to clarify this issue.
Compile is not needed if you already have deployable packages. They are the result of the compilation!
There's no compiler and no source code in test and prod environments, either. And you can deploy packages in those environments. The packages contain the compilation result = dll assemblies.
hi
I am compiling entire application. We have extended ISV solutions in addition to OOB D365. I believe a full compile is necessary. Is this not correct? If our customized model will contain binary as well as source code then probably compile will not be needed?
You don't need (and you can't) compile the deployable packages after installing them. They are dlls that the build created from source code.
Deployable packages don't contain source code. There's nothing to compile.
By the way here are instructions on how to handle third party models and binaries in your source control. You should really add the isv solutions to source control, too. Even if they are binaries only.

"If you install the same binaries to another environment with the same version as in production, you'll get the same application." Yes, this is exactly what I am trying to do. I have written script to deploy packages on the local box. However, I need to compile application once I deploy the package and I am trying to automate this step. Once this is done I will write script to load db but that should not be terribly complicated.
How is compilation of source code related to production? There are is no source code in production.
You use a build server to create deployable packages (this is when source code gets compiled to binaries) and then ask Microsoft to install these binaries to production. If you install the same binaries to another environment with the same version as in production, you'll get the same application. Another solution would be copying binaries from production, but you don't need that if you know what you've installed to production (and that's what you definitely should know, otherwise you're in trouble).
