This post is part of the New Functionality In Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central 2024 Wave 2 series in which I am taking a look at the new functionality introduced in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central 2024 Wave 2.
The 2nd of the new functionality in the Governance and administration section is migrate record links and notes with cloud migration tooling.
Business users often attach links and notes to records in Business Central to add context and extra information. For businesses transitioning from on-premises to cloud environments, this feature ensures that these links and notes on records are included in the cloud migration without the need for the external tooling. This feature saves valuable time and reduces the risks of error with manual data transfer.
Enabled for: Users, automatically
Public Preview: Sep 2024
General Availability: Oct 2024
Feature Details
Previously, the record links and notes were not automatically migrated to the online tenant as part of the cloud migration process. Instead, you had to use manual means to move the data. Now, the cloud migration setup and replication tooling will automatically migrate the links and notes on records for you with minimal work on your part.
My Opinion
More and more clients are making the decision to migrate, or upgrade from an on-premises deployment of Business Central, to the cloud SaaS version of Business Central. This enhancement should make the move to th cloud easier to do while preserving data in the system without needing external tools.
