Customization Analysis Report generation in Dynamics 365 F&O

 

In this lesson, we will see how to generate a CA Report for your model. It shows some best practice rules that are included in the report and provides suggestions for fixing errors and warnings that are associated with these rules and present in your model. 

The Customization Analysis Report is a utensil that analyzes your customization in the custom models or extension models and runs a predefined set of best practice rules. The report is one of the requirements of the solution certification process. The report is in the form of an excel document.

Steps

1) Run the command prompt as an administrator

2) Go to your AOSService folder. You can either find it in C or K drive in your VM. If you are using azure cloud VM then it will be in your K drive otherwise in the C drive. The xppbp.exe tool is located in c:\packages\bin or K:\AosService\PackagesLocalDirectory\bin.

3) Once you found your AosService folder then you can replace it with the below command.

Standard syntax

xppbp.exe -metadata=<local packages folder> -all -model=<ModelName> -xmlLog=C:\BPCheckLogcd.xml -module=<PackageName> -car=<reportlocation>

Example

K:\AosService\PackagesLocalDirectory\bin\xppbp.exe -metadata="K:\AosService\PackagesLocalDirectory" -all -model="AmirAliCustomization" -xmlLog=C:\temp\BPCheckLogcd.xml -module="AmirAliCustomization" -car=c:\temp\AmirAliCustomization.xlsx

Run the script and go to the C drive and in the temp folder, you will get the excel file.

Happy Learning.
