#msdyn365bc 2023 Release Wave 2 - Open Visual Studio Code from web client to investigate or troubleshoot extensions.

HI Readers,

As Business Central 2023 Release Wave 2 Preview is announced. 

In this series we will discuss all features in detail. 

In this article we will discuss regarding - Open Visual Studio Code from web client to investigate or troubleshoot extensions.


With this feature -
  • As a developer or consultant, you can open a new Visual Studio Code session from within the web client for a specific customer production or sandbox environment. 
  • Two different contexts will be supported: Open a page from within the Page Inspector or troubleshoot the current session from within the Help and Support page.
  • If Visual Studio Code is already open, the last active session will be used; otherwise, a new Visual Studio Code will open. If the AL Language extension isn't installed, the user will be asked to install it, and the process ends.
  • The user will be asked if they want to investigate, or debug sandbox or production.
  • A new project will be created, and a matching launch configuration will be created, depending on production or sandbox environment.
  • If the user chooses to investigate, symbols for the invoked page will be added and the AL Explorer will open to easily allow browsing objects.
  • If the user chooses to debug, Visual Studio Code will attach to the web client process, which it was invoked from and await breaking on error.
  • In both cases, access to the source code will be gated by the resource exposure profile settings for each extension.

MSDYN365BC - Data Upgrade To Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central on premises.

Hi Readers, We have already talked about the number of steps for upgrading to Business Central on Premises from different NAV versions. After that article, I received multiple requests for an article which list down steps for Data Migration. In this article, we will discuss steps of data migration to MSDYN365BC (on-Prem) from NAV 2017. For this article, I am considering a Cronus Demo Database without any customization. For an actual upgrade project, we will have to complete object merge using compare and Merge process. After the Merge Process, the next step is data migration. Let's discuss those steps. Direct Upgrade to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central (on-Prem) is from following versions - 1. NAV 2015. 2. NAV 2016. 3. NAV 2017. 4. NAV 2018.
