However, these still below to a named person so you'd want a service account or centrally managed account to create all projects. Pro For 4 USD a month, you can upgrade 1 account on GitHub to GitHub Pro, which gives you more stuff. Using YAML plus actions, you could probably get a lot of the same benefits from Azure DevOps without having to use DevOps.  Thoughts  I think the prospect of using Github for community or personal development for F&O is a good idea. Git is simple and so is GitHub. You can work and share your code with whomever you like. Additionally, private repos are now free so you can use those, too. However, the prospect of using Github for an implementation or support project is a much harder sell for the client or organization. While I'm pretty sure you could use GitHub to get to around the same service level as Azure DevOps, there is a fair amount of risk. That risk is, in my opinion, simply too great to suggest using it for the time being. There is nearly no documentation on the subject and there is no one at MSFT you can call for help specific to F&O. Although it may look like Azure DevOps isn't the favorite for MSFT in terms of product hype or feature development, DevOps is still a proven tool we can rely on. I got the chart below from this site but I think it's really helpful given the context.  ( 3 min )

Also, your project folder will need to be in the package directory more than likely (or somewhere under source control in the same repo as your code).

If you're using the more than 1 package approach, it can be shared if you like. Additionally, there is no source control explorer. You can compare your changes against the branch you're in but that's it. However, you don't really need source control explorer as a developer. If you're coding, you can do …  ( 4 min )

Let's take a look at the lifecyle of a Git Branch. Unlike TFVC, branches in Git are typically short lived when it comes to development. In TFVC you may have a branch for each developer or a branch for development in general, another for test then a release branch. In Git, we will be using branches differently. We'll get a change request as a work item in DevOps, review it, create a branch, assign to a developer to do the work plus commit it, optional build automation may occur, next a pull request, or PR, with a review and then the changes are accepted into the parent branch. We'll walk through this in specific details. In this example, we'll be using a bug but you can replace "bug" with "Feature", "Product Backlog Item", "Change Request", "Customization", "Enhancement", or any other word …  ( 4 min )

How Shoud I Manage Packages in Git? There are 2 options when looking at Git for managing your X++ code. The main driver for which option you select is if you will only ever have 1 package in your code base or more than 1. This include any ISVs or any other item that will have a code footprint anywhere in F&O. To learn more about packages, please see https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/fin-ops-core/dev-itpro/dev-tools/models.  1 Package as a Branch This option is the simplest. You would have 1 package as a branch. A good example of this is this GitHub project. It's a small package that add a features, it only depends on OOTB F&O packages and models and has no other dependencies not does anything else depend on it. It doesn't get any more simple than this.

Submitted by Nathan Clouse on 04/01/22. Using Git with 1 Package When using Git for F&O, there are 2 basic flavors of using it; with 1 package or more than 1 package. This post will cover how to setup Git for use with 1 package. To learn out to create a Git repo in Azure DevOps, please refer to MSFT documentation. To learn how to create a repo on Github, please refer to GitHub documentation. Using Azure DevOps In your dev VM, open Visual Studio then open Team Explorer. Click on Manage Connections then Connect to a project.  Next, select your repo and place it in your PackagesLocalDirectory. K drive on cloud hosted machines and C on VHDs.  Wait for it to clone and, that's it. Refresh your models like usual and you can develop against 1 package using Git in Azure DevOps. This is what the sync'd directory will look like.  Using GitHub In your dev VM, open Visual Studio then open Team Explorer. Click on Manage Connections then click Clone  Log into GitHub then select your repo making sure to change the local path to include your PackagesLocalDirectory path. Click clone and wait. That's it. Your repo folder will look like this: Callout: If using VHD, drive will be the C drive rather than K drive. Conclusion Very straight forward process. However, when using this style of package manage, you will only ever be allowed 1 package. You can add as many models as you like but you'll only ever have 1 package. This includes ISV packages as well including binary or source packages. I recommend this style of management for personal projects or something you'll be sharing on GitHub. I wouldn't recommend this approach for use on an implementation project.   View the discussion thread. Reported:  ( 3 min )

Hearing Australia is Australia’s largest provider of government-funded hearing services and have been servicing people with hearing loss in Australia for 75 years. This is an inspiring story that features Jacqui Peck, an Audiologist who taught herself Power Platform while visiting remote communities in the Australian outback. She partnered with the ICT team, as a fusion development team, to transform one of their key programs for hearing assessments. The solution was built using Dataverse, Power Apps, Power Automate and Power BI. Over 100 Community Engagement Officers and Audiologists use it each month and it has become a single source of truth for program data. This has also helped secure continued funding from a government grant.  ( 11 min )

what is a pull request? how do they work? what do they signify? Create a Pull Request (PR) The code is done but not the work. The developer still has to singal that his work is complete. We'll want to create a Pull Request or PR for short. There are 2 ways to do this. The first is in VS, which will just redirect you to Azure DevOps. The second is Azure DevOps. In VS, it can be found here: In Azure DevOps, go to Repors, select your repo, select your branch then click "create a pull request". Inside the PR, you can add some details for the PR. Additionally, reviewers and actions can be configured inside DevOps. Notice you can select what you are creating a PR into. You can set a reviewer or additional reviewer if you'd like. Also notice that the PR is automagically associated with out bug work item. Let's create the PR. As you can see, it merged successfully on its own and now we, or the approver, can approve and complete. Typically we wouldn't approve our own PRs. We'll see this when we complete. We'll have an option for the merge type, if we want to use something different. Additionally, we have "complete associate work items after merging" checked as well as "delete bug200 after merging". This will resolve the bug setting it's status to done and deleting the branch we created for the work item called "bug200". Next, click "Complete merge". This is what the bug work item looks like after completing the PR: The work item's status is "Done". Also note the links section. We can see that we had a commit and PR. However, the link to branch is now gone because the branch itself is gone. Conclusion Because Git Branches allow us to pull everything up, rather the push specific changesets like in TFVC, we can more easily keep track of what is where. As a for instance, until bug 200's work gets a completed PR, I know it's only in the branch for that work item. Blog Main Tag:  Git  ( 3 min )

Submitted by Nathan Clouse on 02/08/22. What can we do with ATL to create some transactions? Let's take a look. After this post, I wanted to manufacture some data to better show that adding computed fields adds overhead for every operation within a data entity. That post somewhat showed it but I wanted something more cut and dry. I thought a good way to manufacture data in a Contoso environment would be use ATL, string together some ATL processes to create, pack, and invoice orders. In designing a way to do this, I had to fumble my way through how to do it. I wanted to add approximately 10 million processed orders. It didn't exactly work out but here is what I learned.

Warehouse Slotting for transfer orders Nathan Clouse Thu, 01/13/2022 - 03:40 Module Warehouse management Available in Version 10.0.17 Learn More URL https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2105700 This feature allows warehouse managers to replenish picking locations based on demand from transfer orders that aren't yet released to the warehouse. It ensures that picking locations will include all the items needed for the transfer orders once they are released to warehouse. This feature requires that you also enable the "Warehouse slotting feature".  ( 1 min )

Slotting allows users to gather consolidate demand by item and unit of measure from orders, in status either ordered, reserved, or release. Once demand has been generated, it can be located to locations that will be used for picking based on quantity, unit, physical dimensions, fixed locations, etc. Once the slot plan has been established, replenishment work can be created to bring the appropriate amount of inventory to each location.  ( 1 min )

Zone threshold replenishment Nathan Clouse Thu, 01/13/2022 - 03:40 Module Warehouse management Available in Version 10.0.17 Learn More URL https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2106002 Zone based replenishment is a feature which utilizes min/max replenishment strategy but evaluates entire warehouse zones, if set, instead of just individual locations. This gives companies the ability to better and faster determine whether additional inventory is needed within a picking zone. The setup for the new feature is very similar to location-based replenishment. As new replenishment template is created for min/max replenishment, the user can simply specify whether the threshold should be evaluated per Location or per Zone. In case of zones, specific zones are then added to the Zone selection query and those will be evaluated by the newly created replenishment template when processed. Just like location-based min/max replenishment, the zone-based min/max replenishment is based on setting up a minimum threshold of inventory that triggers the creation of replenishment work order for selected items and item variants. In return, replenishment will be created for quantity that increases inventory up to the desired zone maximum threshold.  ( 1 min )

Wave parallelization for Allocate Wave method Nathan Clouse Thu, 01/13/2022 - 03:40 Module Warehouse management Available in Version 10.0.17 Learn More URL https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2163966 This features gives you the option of running the allocateWave method for wave templates in parallel to improve wave processing performance. On enabling this feature, this parallel processing will be activated and task configurations will be created for all warehouses from all legal entities that have "Use warehouse management processes" enabled. Each task configuration includes a setting that lets you define the number of tasks that will run simultaneously (which is equivalent to the number of parallel processes). Roughly, the time used on the allocate-wave step (which is typically 30% to 60% of the total processing time) is reduced by a factor equivalent to the number of tasks. It’s also possible to define the batch group that will be assigned to process these tasks. When this feature is enabled, all legal entities will process waves in batches and "Wait for lock" will be set to a default value of 60,000 ms if it was previously set to 0 ms. Other than this, the existing task and wave processing configurations will be kept for all warehouses that are already configured to process waves in batches, and for all warehouses that are already configured to use the allocateWave method in parallel. After enabling this feature, all new legal entities will be configured by default to process waves in batches, "Wait for lock" will be set to a default value of 60,000 ms, and all new warehouses with "Use warehouse management processes" enabled will have the allocateWave method configured to run in parallel by default. Existing warehouses for which you change "Use warehouse management processes" from "no" to "yes" will also run this method in parallel by default.  ( 1 min )

Let's explore the order of operations when using a data entity. When creating a solution that may use a data entity, OData or not, it may be helpful to understand the precise order of operations for what gets called when in the call stack. Also, when extending OOTB data entities, what changes you are going to make may have changes to the overall performance of the data entity depending on where you put them. Since data entities are generally not the most performant things even at the best of times, having a deep understanding of what is occurring when can help prevent performance headaches later.  Who does What When Why?

Either to process it manually or to run some analysis on it (Or whatever reason you fancy). Unfortunately Visual studio only allows you to copy one result at a time from that window which doesnt make it very friendly. I had over 600 results Bring in AutoHotKey ! This is an extremely powerful scripting language. It runs off keyboard shortcuts, so you can run this from where your cursor is pointed at. For my scenario, i managed to make it run with Ctrl + j and it goes through all the lines so quickly that VS doesnt skip to the source reference file. Once installed, run it in the same context as Visual studio i.e. is VS is running as an administrator then run the script as an administrator as well (So that VS doesnt capture the hotkeys and keep it to itself) https://github.com/shashisadasivan/MyScripts/blob/master/Misc/Visual%20Studio/VSCopySymbolResult.ahk View this post on Instagram A post shared by Zia (@zia.the.dog)  ( 3 min )

Watch our video to see how you can begin to build a work breakdown structure for a project from a sales quotation record using standard templates to improve efficiencies and standardize project task structures, how you can automatically schedule tasks based on predecessors, how users have the ability to take this information and use a familiar tool to product and manage this work breakdown structure using Microsoft Project, and how linking to Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 the two systems maintain a single version of the truth. Once a project is won, the system provides the capability to schedule resources enabling visualization of employee capacity to enable allocation to projects. Once underway, the Microsoft Dynamics AX modern applications provide the ability to enter time and expenses. Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 provides an integrated solution with mobile capability to meet an organisation’s project resourcing needs.

An example of this would be to model the budget planning hierarchy differently to the reporting organisational structure, focusing on budget centric areas of the organisation. Watch our video to see an example of how an organisation creates a new budget plan, devolves the budget planning process out to the different departments using a familiar interface giving additional efficiencies and secure direct interaction with the data.

What are the differences between an Action Method and a Computed Column? Let's take a look. Data entities have a few options for getting data to present in a specific way. One way is to use a virtual field with postLoad(). However, we can also use computed column as well as action methods. Both have their results exposed via OData but computed columns also present in the DMF when exporting (plus importing with some extra code).   What's a computed column? Documentation on this can be found here. In simple terms, it is a field that is calculated whenever the data entity is executed. This is done by the view for the data entity and not with X++. The location where this type of column is populated, on the SQL server rather than the AOS, is an important distinction. This means that SQL sever i…  ( 6 min )

What is Throttling, a 429 Status code, how do we handle them, and create safe patterns for using OData Entities? Throttling, in a general sense, is something acting upon another actor to actively hinder a process or request. Dynamics 365 For Finance and Operations recently added Priority-based Throttling. In the past, when hitting an OData endpoint, we only had to worry about non-affirmative timeouts; it took longer than 120 seconds to complete. It didn't specifically matter to me, the consumer of an endpoint, what else Finance and Ops may have going on. Now, with priority-based throttling, it is my problem as a consumer. I now get affirmative decline in the form of a 429 HTTP return code. When does throttling occur? I'd suggest you review the FAQ for Priority-Based Throttling. However, in…  ( 6 min )

What can we learn about update performance from simple entities? Similar to how we tested insert performance for simple entities, we're going to run similar tests to see what kind of performance we can expect with an update workload for a "simple" entity. The Tests To draw out values and differences, we'll be testing with 2 basic test types: "Minimum" and "Maximum", just like we have in the past. What we're trying to draw out is the performance difference between updating a record with a small amount of attributes specified and quite a few attributes specified. To help draw out our datapoints, we will be using a version of the SalesOrderHeaderV2 data entity that has all references to all tables that are not SalesTables removed. This entity exposed table SalesTable with nearly no business …  ( 4 min )

What can we learn about insert performance from complicated entities? Simlar to our last entry, what makes a data entity "simple"? Let's re-run the same tests from Insert Performance For Complicated Entities but with a simple entity. I would define a simple entity as an entity that has 1 or 2 tables, can perform it's tasks with a small amount of code, and is build to be light weight for a specific purpose. I would describe it as something that doesn't do much but the few things it does do, it does very quickly. The Tests To draw out the differences between specifying a minimalist set of attributes to create a Sales Order header and specifying lots of attributes, we'll be using a custom entity called AAXSalesOrderHeaderV2EntityReadOnly.

What can we learn about insert performance from complicated entities? What makes a data entity complicated? What makes a data entity slow? Let's take a look at data entity performance when inserting records and see what we can learn. First, let's define a "complicated" entity. I would classify a complicated entity has having lots of data sources ( 5 or more ), having lots of code related to it and in the entity itself. Additionally, because these have lots of data sources and code, depending on what fields are specified, the performance of the entity will change based on the data being specified. As a for instance consider what an entity that accepts addressing info would do when an address is specified compared to what it would do when an address is not specified.  The Tests To draw out …  ( 4 min )

It is a general issue with D365FO development on those development VMs (virtual machines) when it is not working as planned, in the end we throw it away and start over.
