How to include ISV packages and customizations in new VHD development environment

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 15

Dear Forum,

I have recently picked up a delivered Dynamics 365 FO project that has only acceptance and production. I have then created a development environment by downloading the provided VHD and created some customizations.

My problem is that new development environment does not contain all ISV packages and customizations and I don't know 
how to export from test/acceptance (remote desktop is not allowed, I guess) to my local Virtual machine to create a deployable package.

Would anyone have any suggestions?

    Tier 2+ environments don't contain source code, therefore you can't get it from there. Don't they have a source control repository that you simply need to connect too?

    Hi Martin,

    No source control repository is available (from what I am aware).

    But I do not really mind about the sources - I just need to include all the external packages properly (binaries should be fine), and then generate a deployable package from Visual Studio, promote to test/acceptance and production.

    Would that be possible?

    Hi Athankon.

    To get the code deployed on a UAT and production environment, you would need to have a deployable package on LCS. Is the package still available in their asset library? If so, you can install that package and add the components to the build process.

    Hello,

    Actually, I have found the sources in a repository - so everything is more clear now.

    Thanks for taking time to answer me.
