How does your team share API collections? Curious to hear what works.

3/3
Step-by-step walkthrough:
✔️ Export a Postman collection properly
✔️ Structure your repo for easy imports
✔️ Import using Raw URLs from GitHub
✔️ Import by downloading the file
Part 1 of 3. Part 2 covers connecting GitHub to Postman. Part 3 goes into CI/CD automation.

#msdyn365BC devs, ever join a project with API work and zero Postman collections?
You build one from scratch. Then a second dev joins and does the same. Then a third. Nobody's in sync.
There's a simple fix using Raw URLs from GitHub or Azure DevOps.

3/3 MS announced BcContainerHelper is being retired. If you still rely on it, now is a good time to try something new.
Free, MIT licensed, open source.

2/3 What it does:
✔️ Browse every BC version from the Microsoft CDN
✔️ Create containers in 3 clicks
✔️ Generate launch.json, compile, publish AL apps
✔️ One click environment setup
✔️ Manage users, databases, networking, SSL
✔️ Save container profiles for different projects
1/3 For years I used the same PowerShell script to spin up BC containers. It worked, but I always felt there should be an easier way.
So, I built BC Docker Manager. A VS Code extension to manage BC Docker containers. No scripts. No Docker Desktop. No BcContainerHelper.

#msdyn365BC devs, ever reviewed deeply nested AL code that’s hard to follow?
I just made a tiny VS Code extension, AL Indent Prism.
It adds subtle colors per indent level so structure is clear.

Thanks for sharing Natalie!
Updating a global app in Business Central?
Do it from the Admin Center, not from Extension Management. The update runs at the environment level and affects all companies.
I wrote a short, no BS guide here: learnbeyondbc.com/blogs/update...
#msdyn365BC
#msdyn365BC devs, if you ran into issues in 26.x with your extensions…
BC27 confirms you weren’t imagining it, some events really did stop firing, and things fell over because of it.
I put together a practical, no-BS blog on handling this with AL preprocessor directives.

Woaaaah, huge thanks brother for the appreciation 🔥😁
Take it easy champ. Glad it helped 😁
Luc and Milan went crazy!
43 dev tips in 45 minutes! I was there, and it was pure gold. No filler, just nonstop value.
Thanks champs 🔥
Woooooah, Thanks for additional inputs Natalie. This is so darn good 😁
Areopa webinar drop: Extending Business Central AI Agents with Azure AI Foundry

Really solid stuff for anyone building on BC + Azure AI. ❤️

#msdyn365BC devs real talk: extensions.json is the config file nobody talks about, but everyone should use.
New dev joins. “What VS Code ext. do I need?” You list them. They miss some. Things break.
This file fixes that:
✅ Auto‑installs
✅ Keeps setups identical
✅ essential tools
Check below 👇
⚠️ Heads up, Business Central devs, MS just refreshed their container-based dev environment docs.
Docker + BCContainerHelper users, this update includes:

Heads-up #msdyn365BC devs: Microsoft tightened code signing rules.
New certs need secure hardware (Azure Key Vault or FIPS USB). No valid signature = no AppSource. Even on-prem needs explicit skip.

#BCWeekendCodeHacks for #msdyn365BC developers.
Ever needed to delete records… but still keep them?
BC’s Data Archive lets you do both.
It’s like taking a snapshot before the shredder.
✅ Works on custom tables
✅ Saves everything as JSON
✅ Export as Excel or CSV

#msdyn365BC folks, this just dropped in BC 2024 Wave 2:
Production Scrap Report for manufacturing ops
✅ Scrap % across production orders
✅ Quantity over time
✅ Bottlenecks by Work/Machine Center
✅ Scrap by Code

95% of #msdyn365BC devs set up OAuth2 in Postman the hard way. Here’s the 5% method that actually works.
✅ Workspace
✅ Collections
✅ Variables that behave

#OAuth2 #Postman #API #Automation #BusinessCentral
Worth a topic in Areopa champ! Huge thanks 😁
OAuth2 app registration looks simple… until you understand what’s happening behind the scenes.
Most guides say “click here, do that.”
This one explains why, and how to configure with confidence.

Good content, @waldo1001.bsky.social and @tinestaric.bsky.social perfectly handled my 3 solid questions about the topic during Q & A. (They obviously know their stuff)
Wanting for more champs! 😁
❌ Temporary Site Issue – We're on It!
