Move Fixed Report from DEV

Move Fixed Reports

Several ways exist to move fixed reports. This section of the Fix Reports guide provides some examples. 

Note

This process can vary from environment to environment, so we cannot provide a detailed step-by-step guide. Always refer to Microsoft documentation.

Create a Model File

To create a model file, follow these steps:

1. Log in to your Dynamics server and run a Command Prompt as Administrator.

2. In File Explorer, locate the Fix reports folder. All reports are saved here by default (unless there are reports from another ISV solution): K:\AosService\PackagesLocalDirectory\LACFixReportsForApplicationSuite.

3. Open the Command Prompt and navigate to your AosService\PackagesLocalDirectory\bin folder.

4. Run the model to create the model. Remember that your output path should exist before doing this.

Example

modelutil -export -metadatastorepath=K:\AosService\PackagesLocalDirectory -modelname=LACFixReportsForApplicationSuite -outputpath=C:\LACExport

5. You can now import this model file into any non-production environment.

Import example

modelutil.exe -import -metadatastorepath=K:\AosService\PackagesLocalDirectory -file=C:\LACExport\LACFixReportsForApplicationSuite-Lasernet.axmodel

Create a Deployable Package

To create a deployable package, follow these steps:

1. Log in to your Dynamics server and run Visual Studio as Administrator.

2. In File Explorer, locate the Fix reports folder. All reports are saved here by default (unless there are reports from another ISV solution): K:\AosService\PackagesLocalDirectory\LACFixReportsForApplicationSuite.

3. In Visual Studio, click Dynamics 365 > Deploy > Create Deployment Package.

4. Scroll down and select LACFixReportsForApplicationSuite. The name may vary depending on other ISV solutions.

The packages are now ready for import.

If the following error occurs, then the reports have not been deployed correctly:
