I needed to automatically update a FogBugz Case based upon actions within Visual Studio Team Services (VSTS) work items. To achieve this I am using Zapier and the FogBugz API.
With the release of Octopus 3.5 you can now utilise Azure AD authentication. This document is an overview of how I have implemented this.
On a frequent basis I am being requested to recreate / move AX databases between environments.
DEV to UAT. PROD to UAT. GOLD to LOCAL. PROD to LOCAL etc.
This is not officially supported by MS, they recommended that the DB’s never move because there are so many references to settings on a per environment basis that you are likely to cause problems. Hence we never ever move a DB to PROD, we can move from and to any other platform for testing and development, but never to PROD. In most cases, this is not a problem but there are circumstances that need to be considered to get the restored database functioning.
To set up Release Management for AX 2012 I will be utilizing the Build and Release functions of Visual Studio Online. Below image is an overview of the process for releasing the code into our AX platform.

First I needed to query AX for all the built in Roles
