Hi,
Is there any way to set up a regular Azure DevOps pipeline to export DB from one environment and import DB into another environment?
Thanks,
Hi Yuji
Probably you are looking for Database movement API (docs.microsoft.com/.../dbmovement-api-overview), but it's under preview at the moment and list of actions is quite limited.
Also, you can take a look at d365fo.tools (github.com/.../Invoke-D365LcsDatabaseRefresh.md)
BR, Sergei
Yes, it's possible.
You can use the new LCS API which is in preview: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/fin-ops-core/dev-itpro/database/api/dbmovement-api-authentication
You can trigger any PowerShell scripts from ADO build pipeline. So you just need to create such PowerShell scripts that export / import database. If you take this path you should check d365fo.tools PowerShell module: https://github.com/d365collaborative/d365fo.tools
Thanks for the information. I may just plan to use Power Automation to consume the DB Movement API, however is it possible to call the Power Automation endpoint from Azure Release Pipeline?
That question is not so much related to D365FO anymore, so perhaps you can look into Power Automate and Azure DevOps communities.
Here's a tutorial for creating a custom trigger in Power Automate and calling it from your app: https://flow.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/call-flow-restapi/
So, in your scenario you would implement this trigger, and some program/script that calls it, and then call that program from the release pipeline.
To use d365fo.tools, I need to have a Tier 1 environment, right? I am not sure how to install these tool on Azure DevOps pipeline.
You can install and run D365FO.tools scripts on the build VM as well.
Either put a PowerShell script on the build VM, and inside that script, install d365fo.tools and run your commands, or set up this PowerShell command directly in the build pipeline settings.
