New Functionality In Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central 2022 Wave 2: Compile Against Installed AppSource Apps

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business CentralThis post is part of the New Functionality In Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central 2022 Wave 2 series in which I am taking a look at the new functionality introduced in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central 2022 Wave 2.

The third of the new functionality in the Service and Platform section is compile against installed AppSource apps.

To increase stability of the environment operations, such as upgrade, copying, restore, lowering support impact both on partners and Microsoft, compilation should be done against the AppSource apps versions that are actually installed for the environment, not against the latest available version of those apps on AppSource.

Enabled for: users, automatically
General Availability: October 2022

Sometimes compilation on environment operations such as upgrade, copying a sandbox from production, or AppSource app install fails due to unexpected application incompatibility. The underlying cause for this has been that compilation has been done against the latest version of the AppSource app, even if the actual tenant or environment has a lower version installed. The end result would depend on the existence of breaking changes in these AppSource apps, and which versions are actually installed, but could lead to compilation failures.

To increase stability of the environment operation, and lowering support impact both on partners and Microsoft, compilation will now be done against the actually installed AppSource apps.

In the future, if the users experience issues with any environment operation, they can find the details of the failure in Business Central admin center, on the Environment Operations page.

New Functionality In Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central 2022 Wave 2: Use Power BI App on Telemetry For Insights Into Environments

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business CentralThis post is part of the New Functionality In Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central 2022 Wave 2 series in which I am taking a look at the new functionality introduced in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central 2022 Wave 2.

The second of the new functionality in the Service and Platform section is use Power BI app on telemetry for insights into environments.

Tenant admins can get Power BI reports on telemetry with a one-click installation from Microsoft AppSource. These reports will give them insights into the performance, stability, and usage of Business Central.

Enabled for: users, automatically
General Availability: October 2022

To make it simple to analyze Business Central telemetry, we’ve developed a Power BI app available from Microsoft AppSource. The app is free and open source but requires a Power BI pro license.

The app consists of four reports:

  • Usage
  • Errors
  • Performance
  • Administration

Once installed and configured, different personas can analyze data to help drive decisions:

  • The account manager can plan new activities with an existing customer.
  • The product owner responsible for an extension/app can track which features in apps or per-tenant extensions are being used and how often.
  • The project manager responsible for the implementation of a Business Central environment for customers can track progress on user acceptance testing (UAT) efforts and get smoother go-lives for customers.
  • The support person performing triage, investigation, and mitigation of customer issues can diagnose errors and performance issues.

Get the app on AppSource here: Dynamics 365 Business Central Usage Analytics.
