Hi
I'm interested in creating a Finance app and using Business Central data, like in this Learn guide: Use model-driven apps and Microsoft Dataverse with Business Central - Training | Microsoft Learn
I've imported BC data into Dataverse (e.g., Vendors) from these instructions: Create an entity and connection to import data from Business Central - Training | Microsoft Learn albeit that it's slightly different now (under Tables, not Entities). And so I am able to display our suppliers to users when they make a purchase request.
My question/s is/are about how deploying this app to production will work in terms of the data source. To build and test the app, I've connected to our staging BC instance (copying the OData URLs from there). But once I've deployed to production, how will these imported tables react? Will they use the same data source (i.e. staging) or can I repoint them to our production BC some how?
Any help or understanding is greatly appreciated.
Dataverse table data is not shared across environments, so if you've staged data in a dev environment you'll need to do the same in the production environment.
However, if you have, say, a virtualized table, that data comes over because it's not really in Dataverse to begin with. Since Business Central makes you publish data as a web service (for access in Dataverse), I'm thinking a table that points to this service will do so after moving into production environment.
I don't have experience with BC, just Dataverse multiple environments and sql, so the rest is speculation.
