Hi, I was wondering if we can create an automatic build and deploy in AX 2012 with TFS. I would like the build to be triggered on particular action/Manual trigger and on trigger and approval a build should be successfully deployed in the other environment. For example from DEV to TEST. This is actually available as an integration between VS 2012,TFS and Inrelease(for automatic code deployment ). I have seen couple of examples for .net projects but wanted to know if the same can be done with AX devlopment builds. any inputs would be appreciated.
It definitely is possible - although I’m not using Team Foundation Build with AX2012 right now, I did it in my previous job. You can do almost anything you want in TF Build - if you don’t find any suitable build activity, you can always create a custom one.
First, take a look at what others prepared for you:
Thanks Martin. we are working on implementing this in our organisation. Lets see how this comes along.
Hi Martin,
Can we modify the Build Script to build for particular change sets ?
I believe we can create a new build process template and set the Change sets in the build parameters screen. Is this possible ? If possible will the AX build script use the build process template we configured ?
I don’t know which AX build script you’re referring to. Scripts usually can be changed.
Build process templates are used by Team Foundation Build and if you use TF Build, you usually don’t need any additional build script.
It simply can’t be answered without more information from yourself.
