Package deployment in Dynamics 365 F&O On-Prem instance using CMD

Hello Devs,

In this blog, I will show how we can deploy package in Dynamics 365 F&O in On-Prem instance.

Prerequisites:

• LCS login
• VM Instance

Note : "AFPRunBookId-runbook" is the book title in my case, You have to set as per your case.

The process can be divided in below steps,

Step # 1:?

Download package and Unzip the package(Don't forget to unblock it before extracting, Right click and check unblock).

Step # 2:

Rename the VM name from the file in?DefaultTopologyData.xml(VM name could be found on My PC properties).

Step # 3:

We need to execute below series of command.?

Note :?In my case the I was using C Drive

1) The folder in which the package is placed, it should be non user folder and there should be no space within title of the folder (All folders that are in file path)

Example : C/User/Download (Will result in error, User folder error)

C/Program files/Package (Will result in error, space within path).

Series of CMD commands:

You should rename the RunbookFile?

1) Check the available list of Runbook

C:\DP2>AXUpdateInstaller.exe list

2)?

C:\DP2>AXUpdateInstaller.exe generate -runbookid="AFPRunBookId-runbook" -topologyfile="DefaultTopologyData.xml" -servicemodelfile="DefaultServiceModelData.xml" -runbookfile="AFPRunBookId-runbook.xml"

Note : "AFPRunBookId-runbook" is the book title in my case, You have to set as per your case.

3)?

C:\DP2>AXUpdateInstaller.exe import -runbookfile=AFPRunBookId-runbook.xml

Note : "AFPRunBookId-runbook" is the book title in my case, You have to set as per your case.

4)?

C:\DP2>AXUpdateInstaller.exe execute -runbookid=AFPRunBookId-runbook.xml

5)

C:\DP2>AXUpdateInstaller.exe execute -runbookid=AFPRunBookId-runbook

There would be list of steps that will be completed once the step 5 command will be executed.?

Hope you will find this blog helpful!
