Package configurations and deploy them to an online environment

This article describes how to package configurations and deploy them to your Microsoft Dynamics 365 Commerce online environment.

When your local site configurations (modules, data actions, and themes) are ready to be deployed to your online environment, you must package and deploy them by using Microsoft Dynamics Lifecycle Services (LCS).

Package the local site configurations for upload

The yarn msdyn365 pack command creates a package of the local site configurations. You can then use the package to upload the configurations to an online environment via LCS.

The command should be run from the root directory of your local online software development kit (SDK) files. The output of the command is a new zip file in the same directory.

Here's an example.

c:\repos\D365.Commerce.Fabrikam>yarn msdyn365 pack

Upload a package by using LCS

To upload a site configuration package by using LCS, follow these steps.

  1. Go to https://lcs.dynamics.com. (Alternatively, if you're using the test integration LCS server, go to https://lcs.tie.dynamics.com). You should see a sign-in page that resembles the following illustration.

  5. To upload the package, in the More tools section, select the Asset Library tile.

  6. On the Asset library page, in the left pane, select the e-Commerce package tab. If you don't see the e-Commerce package tab, you must enable e-commerce features. Contact your Microsoft Commerce representative to obtain the required code.

After the deployment is completed, you should see your changes in the authoring tools or on pages that are rendered. For example, new modules or themes are available to page authors, or changes are rendered and appear in the online environment.
