Analyzing web service publish failure telemetry
APPLIES TO: Business Central 2023 release wave 1 and later
Web service publish failure telemetry gathers data when a web service couldn't be published or a published web service isn't working correctly due to an error in creating metadata for the web service. As a partner, the data gives you the ability to investigate & fix potential problems that are preventing web service from working correctly.
The following sections explain the different events included in an outgoing Web Service Publish Failure trace, along with their dimensions. The tables list the dimensions that are specific to Business Central.
