This post is part of the New Functionality In Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central 2022 Wave 2 series in which I am taking a look at the new functionality introduced in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central 2022 Wave 2.

The seventh of the new functionality in the governance and administration section is Get more visibility into outages.

In the unlikely event that an outage affects your environment, we’re making it easier for business users and administrators to learn about any outages that have been declared if they are experiencing issues.

Enabled for: users, automatically
General Availability: December 2022

With this release wave, Microsoft will more proactively inform business users and administrators in case they have declared an outage that affects their environments. Business users will see outage details when they try to sign in but the sign-in fails, and administrators will see a notice in the Business Central administration center.

The sixth of the new functionality in the governance and administration section is restore deleted environments.

Business Central comes with the promise of keeping your data safe and available to you. In this release wave, we give environments a state of soft-deleted for seven days after you delete them. The same terms apply when the environment is scheduled for deletion after a trial has expired. During this time, admins can restore the deleted environment in the Business Central admin center.

Enabled for: Admins, makers, marketers, or analysts, automatically
General Availability: November 2022

Environments in the soft-deleted state are visible in the admin center. Admins can restore such an environment without having to involve Microsoft support. Microsoft’s aim is to reduce the risk of data loss if an environment is deleted by accident, which in earlier versions would require urgent assistance from Microsoft support.

My opinion

While it shouldn’t be needed, I think this sort of enhancement is always going to be popular, for risk mitigation if for no other purpose.
