Overview
In Visual Studio we have solution that contains multiple
projects. These projects helps us to organize and manage the elements.
Each project contain elements from only one model. In order to move
elements from one environment to another in D365, It can be easily done by using
project package file which contains list of the elements added in the
project.
To transfer the elements first create a project in VS and add
elements to the project and follow the steps.
Export a project
Exporting a project is quite simple. You need to Right-click
it and select Export Project.
Provide the name of the project file and click Save. Project file is created
with extension .axpp.
Import a project
Now, you can use this file to move the elements into any environment
by just simply importing the project.
Go to Visual Studio and click on Dynamics 365 -> Import
Project. Now select the .axpp file you need to import. By default all the
elements in the project are selected for import. After selecting the elements
click OK.
NOTE: Project package file doesn’t only carries the
elements but also contains the information about the model and the layer they
belongs to. So during import if the model doesn’t exists Visual Studio creates
the missing model automatically.
