Upgrade to Microsoft Edge to take advantage of the latest features, security updates, and technical support.
Yes, source code will be available after the hard seal. It's required for effective implementation and debugging.
There is a special extensibility request form on the Lifecycle Services (LCS) site.
You can gain access to the Operations Extensibility group in Yammer. Operations Extensibility is an active group that has a significant amount of partner engagement. You get access via the Connect site by signing an NDA.
Documentation about extensibility patterns is available on the Extensibility home page.
We will announce training sessions in multiple ways. AppSource partners might receive direct invitations for some sessions. We will also announce workshops in the Operations Extensibility Yammer group and other forums.
The application is being sealed as a step toward reducing upgrade costs in the ecosystem, so that customers can stay current on new releases. Customers can take advantage of new innovations that come from Microsoft and partners.
Extension packages enable better performance at design time, faster build automation, and unit testing. They also provide more efficient distribution and installation of models from independent software vendors (ISVs) and customers across different systems.
There are several areas where the product team is working to improve the extensibility of the product. This work ranges from platform changes that have broad impact to refactored application code that provides additional hook points. For details, see the Operations Extensibility Yammer group and the product release plans.
This scenario is very similar to a scenario where a critical bug fix is required, and the same process should be followed. As a required first step, you must create a case for support.
We recommend that ISVs also seal their models. This step helps achieve the broader goal of reducing upgrade costs.
On-premises solutions will follow the same patterns as cloud solutions. Therefore, no overlayering of Microsoft code will be supported.
We plan to provide monthly updates of platform and application after Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations release 8.0.
Some extensibility requests break changes. Some of the more common potentially breaking requests are listed here along with potential workarounds. In addition, read Creating extensions to understand the existing platform extension capabilities and Tips for logging extensibility requests to learn more about how to create solid requests if a capability doesn't exist in the latest release.
Throughout the application, an effort has been made to avoid breaking changes to APIs made by customers, partners, or ISVs. When a class or method has the InternalUseOnlyAttribute applied to it, this means that the API is for internal use only and could change without warning. If customers, partners, or ISVs use or extend an API with InternalUseOnlyAttribute, this could create issues because the API could change at any time, which would require changes in their extensions before an update can be applied. This could result in urgent changes and the need to recompile. Developers should not depend on these classes and methods remaining unchanged.
Calls to classes and methods with the InternalUseOnlyAttribute will result in compiler warnings. Starting in Platform update 20 to Platform update 24, targeting classes and methods with InternalUseOnlyAttribute using Chain of Command will result in compiler errors. In Platform update 25 and later, we plan to continue to issue compiler warnings.
