How To Compile Model

Compile module

This how-to will guide you on how to compile a module without using Visual Studio.

Prerequisites

• Machine with D365FO installed
• PowerShell 5.1
• d365fo.tools module installed
• d365fo.tools module loaded into a PowerShell session

Please visit the Install as an Administrator or the Install as a Non Administrator tutorials to learn how to install the tools.

Please visit the Import d365fo.tools module tutorial to see the different ways you can load the d365fo.module into a PowerShell session.

List all modules / models

Listing all installed modules / models can help you while troubleshooting your environment. Type the following command:

Get-D365Module

Search for modules / models

To limit the output of modules in the console, you can utilize the search functionality in the Get-D365Module cmdlet. Type the following command:

Get-D365Module -Name *Project*

Compile module / model

We need to know the name of the module / model that we want to compile, and provide that as a parameter. Type the following command:

Invoke-D365ModuleFullCompile -Module Project

Compile multiple modules / models

We can utilize the Get-D365Module cmdlet and its output to the PowerShell pipeline, to supply the needed parameters to the Invoke-D365ModuleFullCompile cmdlet. Type the following command:

Get-D365Module -Name *Project* | Invoke-D365ModuleFullCompile

Closing comments

In this how to we showed you how to compile a specific module / model in a D365FO environment. We also showed you how to combine the Get-D365Module cmdlet with the Invoke-D365ModuleFullCompile cmdlet to make it easier to compile multiple modules / models.
