ISV Solutions Dynamics Nav to Business Central

Overview

The 2019 release wave 2 update delivers a set of features designed to simplify ISV development for new solutions and, specifically, for streamlining the migration from the source code customization model of Dynamics NAV to Business Central. The Dynamics NAV business has been driven by strong vertical ISV solutions, surrounded by add-on solutions. For the 2019 release wave 2 update, our focus will be streamlining the path for ISVs to bring their solutions – and in turn their customers – to Business Central online.

localize by extracting more and more of our system logic into modules, forming a system application and an application foundation. These modules are putting simplicity in focus by following a one feature = one module principle. Each module encapsulates the complexity and replaces implementation details with clean, documented, and stable APIs. The smaller modules speed up the development cycle, and make it easier to monitor and optimize functionality from security and performance perspectives. The number of modules can vary, depending on the configuration, and you can update each module individually. Because this is a major shift in the development paradigm for both Microsoft and our partner community, we make each module available well ahead of the 2019 release wave 2. As we finish modules, we publish the source code in the ALAppExtensions repo on GitHub so that you can provide direct feedback and make contributions
