How to get meta data of an Data Entity MSDynD365

Hi Folks,

Here we got one awesome update on D365FO data management, now you get metadata of any data entity in a very useful format in an excel file.  You will get the below information for each data entity.

Let's see how to get that, go to the "Data management" workspace and click on the "Data entity" tile.

Select your data entity and in the menu bar select the "Get metadata" button.

The system will download the metadata in an excel file even for any custom field or entire custom data entity, pl find below a sample file for the Vendor Group.

Cheers!!!

QuickFix: Maintenance mode doesn't activate

Hi Folks,

While trying to bring your Tier-1 environments in maintenance mode using SSMS, system may take longer than expected even after multiple time ISS reset using CMD.

Try this, Open Visual studio (type DevEnv in windows search bar) and click 'Dynamics 365' menu then select ‘Restart IIS Express’ this will bring your system into maintenance mode immediately.

I came across a useful blog on Computed columns in Views - Dynamics AX, however, its written for AX 2012 but fits pretty well with Dynamics 365FO as well. 

Have a look.
