Business Central in Dataverse with Virtual Tables

Business Central in Dataverse with Virtual Tables

In my session at Dataverse Summit 2022 I also introduced Business Central’s feature, the virtual tables in Dataverse. Virtual tables complement the possibilities such as Data Sync and Connectors to connect both worlds. In my opinion, virtual tables are the best way of integration.

Furthermore, virtual tables in Dataverse are similar to physical tables in usage and this is a clear advantage in contrast to connectors….

Monitoring Telemetry from Azure Data Studio

Monitoring Telemetry from Azure Data Studio

Recently, I realized that there is a very simple way to prepare and share telemetry reports. This are Jupyter Notebooks. A Jupyter notebook is ideal for combining documentation texts and telemetry queries. This means that my explanations and recommendations for action are part of my telemetry reports. I like this possibility. This helps us at COSMO CONSULT to create prepared reports for monitoring and analysis of Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central in a simple way.

Monitoring Build Pipelines with Application Insights

If you don’t know what is going on in the background and what causes problems – you are in trouble. You have to investigate issues direct in each…

Release Management with Artifacts & Stages – CI / CD 8

In my last article of the CI/CD series I explained which package types I use to upload my Artifacts. As you can imagine, this is just one piece of the puzzle in my release management workflow for Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. More important for me is the correct traceability of my artifacts. In other words, this is the key to keep control over my projects.
