Dual-write provides an OOB infrastructure for setting up integration between Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations (F&O) and Dataverse, Dynamics 365 CE apps. In this post, I will let you in on general findings related to this subject and environments in particular.

Demystifying dual-write

Lately I have been working with dual-write in different projects. In this post I will give an introduction to the subject from a technical perspective as well as functional and hopefully bring some clarity to what’s behind that magical door. Note that some parts of this post will be outdated when One Dynamics One Platform and unification of admin centers become reality. I will then update with a link to a new post.

ValueRule in Classic UI vs. Unified Interface

Now I will let you in on a finding I did the other day. It is all about a very tiny detail but still, it might be good to be aware of this fact. As usual when you find something suspect in Dynamics 365 CE you cannot really be sure if the behaviour is classified as a bug or by design. I registered a Microsoft case this time just to find out.

When working with Dynamics 365 CE and designing solutions, it happens from time to time that you want to cascade information from parent records to child records. One example could be to have the address of the contact updated when the address of the parent account is changed.

How to publish an app on AppSource

AppSource is like an app store for your Microsoft products and there is a certification process which your product has to go through before it can be available in there. Last year I worked with getting a product through the certification process and this year on the 15th of March it was finally approved and published. Now that I am familiar with the process, I thought I could share my findings.

When customizing the App for Outlook – be aware of this

I ran into something the other day and by writing about this perhaps it saves time for someone who might run into the same thing. I recently learned that now we are able to customize the App for Outlook. There are some default values in the app that must be there in order for the app to function properly though. In this blog post I will highlight those default values and let you know what to do if the tracking panel suddenly goes missing.
