Configuration Management in D365 Finance & Operations

Posted on by 96

Hi Guys,

how do you manage configuration deployments/movements from stage to stage? The use case is like this: We develop a feature in which we have to adjust Code in X++ and also have to make, lets say, 5 configurations changes.

How do you manage now the deployment of Code? This is straight forward via DevOps. We build our X++ artefacts and then deploy them from stage to another stage via DevOps. But how do you manage the deployment of configuration settings from stage to stage?

If you have a handfull of changes, you can deal this manually. But how about having a lot of changes? You can't write all of them down, deploy to a stage, then make another change because your setting was not correct and write down the change setting again. This complexity you can multiply by stage and number of features.

I have found this: docs.microsoft.com/.../set-up-configuration-manager-lcs But the documentation is very short and it looks like that it only works with AX 2012 R3. During my researches I have also read, that in LCS is a feature available called "Configuration & data manager". Unfortunately I did not found any documentation about it. Someone knows what this is exactly about?

Discussion on this topic is highly welcome.

Cheers,

Chico

    Hi Cihan,

    Configuration and data manager lets you copy a configuration from one instance of Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations, Enterprise edition to another.

    You can copy from and to Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations, Enterprise edition environments that meet the following criteria:

    They are managed as part of an LCS project.

    They run on the data management framework in Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations, Enterprise edition and can leverage data packages (containing entities).

    You can also create groups of data packages called Process Data Packages (PDP) and use them for all kinds of deployment to any environment in the LCS project being worked upon.
