How to re-launch all the workspace(s) back efficiently everytime a sandbox undergoes an update?

Posted on by AXBOY 625

Hi All,

As we all know everytime Business Central undergoes a update all our custom extensions are deleted. I have just started working on BC recently , so every such time i have to re-launch all my workspaces individually back to the updated sandbox.  I have following 2 queries :  

  • Instead of just re-launching all the workspaces individually, is there any efficient way to perform this so that i can save time? 
  • As the extensions are deleted, the manual setup done on the sandbox on various setup page on BC is also removed? Is there any way to save those setup changes?

Please help!

Thanks in advance

    What do you mean with workspaces?

    You could use the API to recreate your sandboxes: docs.microsoft.com/.../administration-center-api

    And you could create installation code in your extensions that performs the required setup.

    There is no other practical way unless you use devops.

    You could investigate how to to do this in several blogs. Some of these are here

    Actually i want to know if i can create a single extension where i can store all my projects so that  it would be easy for the client to just publish that single extension to production environment instead of publish each project individually.

    I am not talking about multi-root workspace, i want each project to be a part of single extension, so that it is easy for the client to move all the projects in one go and also the developer can make changes on each single project by opening that project only.

    I hope my query is clear, Please HELP!

    From what I understand you want a mega-super-big launch.json that take all the .app files in the workspace and send them in the right order.

    This is a good candidate for IDEAS site. Currently it does not exists this functionality out of the box
