Know what an Install Codeunit does and how to execute it in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central

 Hi Readers, 

Business Central gives you a facility to perform certain operations while you install the extension. This can be done with the help of an Install codeunit. You can also use these codeunits if you want to test something during the extension installation. 

Some of the examples can be populating empty records with data, service callbacks and telemetry, version checks, and messages to users. 

How to create it?

Consider these Key Points before you upgrade to Business Central online

Hi Readers,

I hope you are doing well and had a great weekend!

Since a lot of changes have been happening since the release of Business Central and everyone is looking for an upgrade and want to move to SaaS, i.e, Microsoft NAV (from any version) to Dynamics 365 Business Central. I would like to talk about some checkpoints

Before you jump into the data, application and PowerShell commands, there are a few important points that you should consider. You can also call them as Prerequisites or precheck. Following are the points:

1. Codeunit 1 (ApplicationManagement) has been deprecated and replaced and new ‘system’ codeunits has been introduced. No functionality has been removed by this change. All system method triggers, event publishers, and their code have been moved to other codeunits.

Creating APIs in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central and using Postman to send GET, POST, PATCH and DELETE requests

Hi Readers,

I hope you are doing well. Here is another interesting blog for you all!

APIs give more feasibility over Web Services and have fewer restrictions than them. The data can also be in any format, and also provides the segregation over Page Cards which we had to create for Web services. Business Central gives a lot of facilities for APIs. You can also connect to external APIs without any hassle and access JSON parameters. But that is again for another blog.

Today, we’ll see how to create APIs pages and use GET, POST, PATCH and DELETE methods for CRUD operations, through Postman.

Let’s get started!
