Microsoft Dynamics GP 2015 R2 will soon be released (due late May/early June and, as with previous releases, Microsoft have started a Feature of the Day series on the Inside Microsoft Dynamics GP Team blog. As I have done with the last three series, I’ll be reposting these blog posts here with a little commentary.
The third Feature of the Day is Scriptable Provisioning & Management.
A critical element in successfully delivering Microsoft Dynamics GP as a cloud offering is the ability to centralize and automate the provisioning and management of the application.
Automation speeds up delivery, minimizes human involvement which reduces costs and the possibility of human errors, and can provide self-service functionality to the end user.
This feature addS APIs and PowerShell cmdlets that will enable automated/scriptable GP provisioning and management.
The screen shot shows a list of the PowerShell cmdlets available:
Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013 R2 saw the introduction of some PowerShell cmdlets, to which this new set adds. At Perfect Image we have been doing an increasing amount of work with the web client and have also had a number of projects recently whereby new companies are being created on existing systems.
The cmdlets have the potential to speed up both the deployment of the web client and new companies.
It has been on my To Do list for a while to learn PowerShell, but I think I may have to move it up the list fairly quickly.
