Prepare for major updates with preview environments for Wave 2 Busines Central 2022 (21)

 

Preview Environments for Business Central Wave 2 (2022, 21)

About one month before a major update, you can try out new functionality in preview environments. Preview environments are Business Central online sandbox environments that you create on a preview version of the application. When you create the new sandbox environment, choose the preview version marked as (Preview) from the version list. This way, you get a new sandbox environment with a preview version of the application.

Source - Documentation

you can start using preview environment for following purpose

Review the new functionality. Try it out, and begin training employees on the new features that are coming.

Validate your extensions.

Upload and install your extensions into the sandbox environments created on the preview version and run through the functionality. Verify that the customization continues to work and is compatible with the new version.

In rare cases, if you discover any changes required for your per-tenant extension to become compatible with the next release, apply the changes to your app, test it again on a sandbox environment running on a preview version. Then, if tests complete successfully, upload the app into your production environment, setting the Deploy to field to Next major version. This way, the compatible version of your app will be used when you schedule the upgrade of your production environment to the new major update once it becomes available.

Test the quality. If you run into issues related to the preview, please provide feedback on Collaborate.

Data Upgrade Extension using AL Code

 Data Upgrade Extension using AL Code

This article provides information about how to make a newer version of extension upgrade available on tenants. The first phase of the process is to develop the extension for upgrading. In this phase, you add code to upgrade data from the previous extension version. Once you have the upgrade code in place, you can publish and synchronize the new version, and the run the data upgrade.

When you develop a new extension version, you must consider the data from the previous version. Determine the modifications that must be made to the data to make it compatible with the current version. For example, maybe the new version adds a new field that needs default values set for existing records. Or, the new version adds new tables that must be linked to existing records. To address this type of data handling, you must write upgrade code for the extension version. If there are no data changes between the extension versions, you don't need to write upgrade code. All data that isn't modified by upgrade code will automatically be available when the process completes.
