How to sync Dataverse changes between multiple development environments

Posted on by CijoyFrancisP

Hi,

I am using Power Platform with Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations module. Every developer has their own development environment for FinOps and Dataverse.

FinOps codebase is managed through Git. When I want to get the changes committed by other developer, I can do a Git pull and it brings all changes to my FinOps development environment from the main branch. Just wondering how do I do this with the Dataverse changes? How can I get the Dataverse changes done by other developer(and deployed to UAT) into my Dataverse development environment?

I am currently using PowerApps Pipelines for deployment to UAT & Production environments.

Thank you.

Hi @cijoyfrancis

You must upload the changes to your development environment and then deploy the Pipeline to your UAT, or you can use the Power Platform CLI. You can continue using GIT to synchronize the changes but the process of taking them from desa or uat I recommend you deploy Pepiline

The ideal is that you use Plugin Registration Tool to upload the changes and after testing them in Desa you can deploy them in UAT

Hi @Jmanriquerios ,
Thank you for your reply.
Sorry, I didn't fully understand your point.

To make my question bit more clear, lets just mention only about Dataverse.

For eg. there are 4 developers, each of them have their own Dataverse development environment. There is also UAT and Production environment.
"Developer A" completes a task (with Dataverse table changes and PowerApp/PowerAutomate changes) and pushes the changes to UAT and Production through PowerPlatform Pipeline.

"Developer B" doesn't have the above changes in his Dataverse environment which "Developer A" completed and deployed. How do "Developer B" gets these new changes to his Dataverse development environment?

If it was a C# project with Git, I can do a pull from the main branch and it will bring all new changes to my environment. Not sure how to do this in Dataverse environment?

Hi @cijoyfrancis

What I'm telling you is that unlike DF&O, where each developer has their development machine in Power Apps, there is only one development environment, so you must maintain the management of the code if you want to have it organized in GIT or Devops and then upload the change in development using a tool like the Plugin Registration Tool, and once you upload it to development you must deploy it in UAT under the mechanism that you are using in the ALM, which in this case I understand is with the pepiline
