How To Use Azure DevOps Repos with D365FO?

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Momochi 1,036

Hi dears in the community !

I just started learning Azure DevOps, because I want to always make sure that my AxModel have the latest code changes.

But I'm not actually able to understand how a developer like me gonna use it in my daily development tasks.

So I have an AxModel for example the model is called "AxModel1".

And I have an Azure DevOps project with a Repo Called "Repo1".

Will the "Repo1" have the "AxModel1" files only?

Because If I'm a developer who is assigned for example to a task to create an SSRS report into AxModel1, what is the procedure exactly?

The developer should clone the repo into his Visual Studio?

Then how the references will work if he wanted to write code that references standard Ax Models objects outside the AxModel1?

I'm confused here actually to what should be available in the Repo as a D365FO Development and what the developer will clone or fork.

I'm sorry for my lack of knowledge and I hope I was clear.

Any advice is appreciated !

Thanks in advance !

    Hi Momochi,

    Repos folder in azure devops will have only your custom model - There will be descriptor file in the model which will have all the standard models that your custom model is referring to. So, you must have valid folder structure in report to check in the model.

    Server will always be connected the devops project - You can check out the object you wish to edit and then check in the changes to devops against your custom model once you complete the developemtn.

    Please refer to the below blogs and documentation which will be helpful.

    Hi Momochi, You can check this video to understand Repo and Branches concept in VSTS. On high level, Developers use Dev branch to check-n their changes, Main branch to merge changes and deploy to Test & prod environment. Get latest on branch will provide you the all the latest changes checked-in so multiple developers can work on same object.
