Happy New Year! (To everyone who follows Gregorian calendar :)). Let me look a bit at what I did in 2023 and what I expect in 2024. I keep working for a large end-user company. I do a lot of different things there (X++, Azure Functions, code reviews, Powershell, DevOps processes and so on), but …

The usual setup (documented by Microsoft) of version control for F&O is using Team Foundation Version Control and configuring the workspace mapping like this: $/MyProject/Trunk/Main/Metadata k:\AosService\PackagesLocalDirectory $/MyProject/Trunk/Main/Projects c:\Users\Admin123456789\Documents\Visual Studio 2019\Projects This means that PackagesLocalDirectory contains both standard packages (such as ApplicationSuite) and custom packages, i.e. your development and ISV solutions you’ve installed. This works fine …
