Dynamics AX 2009 Version Control Interview

mfp — Wed, 28 Jan 2009 10:53:00 GMT

At Convergence in Copenhagen 2008 Morten Jensen (PM in the MorphX Team) and I were interviewed by Ben Riga on the version control integration in Dynamics AX 2009.

In AX 4 we first introduced version control with integration to SourceSafe. In AX 2009, we introduced Team Foundation Server (TFS) support as well as a MorphX VCS a low –end home-brew version control. I demo the MorphX VCS feature showing how it integrates Check In/Check Out functionality directly into the AX IDE. MorphX VCS is included with Dynamics AX. The target for this low-end VCS is VARs maintaining numerous client system customizations on the same code base.

Version Control is just one leg of the Dynamics AX team’s commitment to Engineering Excellence. They’ve also integrated unit testing and best practices policy enforcement. The Dynamics AX team uses this integration themselves integrating with Source Depot (an internal Microsoft versioning system). They are looking at moving to TFS.

See the full interview and demos at Channel 9.

Version control for everyone

mfp — Wed, 19 Dec 2007 16:12:00 GMT

With Dynamics AX 5.0 there is no longer an excuse for not using a source control system when developing in MorphX. The version control integration options in Dynamics AX 5.0 both cater to larger development organizations by seamlessly integrating with Visual Source Safe and Team Foundation Server, and to smaller development teams who cannot afford the additional overhead of these larger system with a new, simple, yet powerful, version control system: MorphX VCS.

All 3 flavours enable check-in/check-out/undo check-out/change history/change descriptions/quality bar enforcements etc. Using a version control system can dramatically improve the quality, predictability and productivity of your MorphX projects.

This channel 9 screencast gives a preview of the version control system integration options in the next release of MorphX - the IDE of Dynamics AX. It shows a side-by-side comparison of the integration options with Team Foundation Server, Visual Source Safe, and MorphX VCS. The last half of the screencast gives a demonstration of MorphX VCS.

Finally I want to wish everyone a "God Jul" (as you say this time of year where I live.)

Channel9 screencasts updated

mfp — Fri, 26 Jan 2007 17:16:00 GMT

I have just re-encoded my Channel9 screencasts, so they now deliver a better audio experience. The video is still sub-optimal, as I have to abide to the 20mb file limit on Channel9. I have favored high resolution (1024x768) so you can see what is going on during the demos, over color depth and smoothness.
