Hi everyone!
It is with great pleasure that I'd like to announce the initial release of the AX & TeamCity build automation and deployment solutions is available on CodePlex today!
What the solutions include:
The underlying data structure for AX is gigantic, as many of us have become intimately aware. As such, performance tuning is always something on the mind of those who administer the ERP system. Better performance = better experience for your end users.
One great way to help with performance is caching. AX 2012 has a lot of options for caching, including Entire Table caching, record level caching, and the SysGlobalObjectCache or SGOC for short.
Continuous Deployment with AX is a two part gig. First you need a building software like Microsoft's Release Management or JetBrain's Team City ( covered in part 1 ). Second, you need to be able to call all of the building activities within AX itself such as synchronizing with Version Control, x++ compile, CIL compile, and so on. This is what we will cover today, and will follow up with how to automate the entire process ( part 3 ).
