We have created a new development server for new member joining our development team. Now we want to configure a new development server for Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations. The requirement is such that the new server should be an exact replica of an existing server that we already have access to. The new server should have all the data and customizations that are already present in the existing development server. This will enable the new developer to have access to all the work that has been done on the existing server.
Please suggest solutions.
Thanks and Regards.
Hi, since you didn't mentioned so I am assuming that your project/customer is on cloud and not on premises.
For new Dev VM same as existing, you need to know the size of VM which can be found on Azure Portal (Size will be in terminology like D8, D12 etc). Create new cloud hosted dev environment using same VM size.
For Database same as existing VM, you can export .bak file from existing, upload to LCS and import it in new VM
For same code as existing, when you map with same branch and get latest, It should fulfill this criteria as well.
Hi Mohit,
Thanks for your response.
While importing the .bacpac file via command prompt, I have encountered the following error.
An unexpected failure occurred: Data plan execution failed with message One or more errors occurred. (One or more errors occurred. (One or more errors occurred. (Violation of PRIMARY KEY constraint 'PK__CLASSIDT__D9C1FA01E117F8EA'. Cannot insert duplicate key in object 'dbo.CLASSIDTABLE'. The duplicate key value is (AADAuthentication Monitoring Diagnostics). The statement has been terminated.))).error in sql import.
Your help will be appreciated.
I am attaching the screenshot for your reference.
The same error is discussed in Error occured during database import process from UAT to DEV Environment. Try looking there.
