Compile a package / module / model

Invoke-D365ModuleCompile [-Module] <String> [[-OutputDir] <String>] [[-LogPath] <String>]
 [[-MetaDataDir] <String>] [[-ReferenceDir] <String>] [[-BinDir] <String>] [[-XRefSqlServer] <String>]
 [[-XRefDbName] <String>] [-XRefGeneration] [-XRefGenerationOnly] [-ShowOriginalProgress] [-OutputCommandOnly]
 [<CommonParameters>]

Compile a package / module / model using the builtin "xppc.exe" executable to compile source code

Invoke-D365ModuleCompile -Module MyModel

This will use the default paths and start the xppc.exe with the needed parameters to compile MyModel package. The default output from the compile will be silenced.

If an error should occur, both the standard output and error output will be written to the console / host.

Invoke-D365ModuleCompile -Module MyModel -ShowOriginalProgress

This will use the default paths and start the xppc.exe with the needed parameters to compile MyModel package. The output from the compile will be written to the console / host.

Invoke-D365ModuleCompile -Module MyModel -XRefGeneration

This will use the default paths and start the xppc.exe with the needed parameters to compile MyModel package. The default output from the compile will be silenced. The compiler will generate XRef metadata while compiling.

If an error should occur, both the standard output and error output will be written to the console / host.

Invoke-D365ModuleCompile -Module MyModel -XRefGenerationOnly

This will use the default paths and start the xppc.exe with the needed parameters to only generate cross references for the MyModel package.

Get-D365Module -ExcludeBinaryModules -InDependencyOrder | Invoke-D365ModuleCompile -XRefGenerationOnly -ShowOriginalProgress

This will update all cross references, keeping the assemblies and PDB files unmodified. The output from the compile will be written to the console / host.

Default value: $Script:MetaDataDir
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False

The path to the bin directory for the environment

Default path is the same as the aos service PackagesLocalDirectory\bin

Type: String
Parameter Sets: (All)
Aliases:

Required: False
Position: 6
Default value: $Script:BinDirTools
Accept pipeline input: False

The name of the SQL server where the cross references database is located; the default is "$env:COMPUTERNAME" This parameter is only used for XRefGenerationOnly

Type: String
Parameter Sets: (All)
Aliases:

Required: False
Position: 7
Default value: $env:COMPUTERNAME
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False

The name of the cross references database; the default is "DYNAMICSXREFDB" This parameter is only used for XRefGenerationOnly

Type: String
Parameter Sets: (All)
Aliases:

Required: False

Instruct the cmdlet to enable the generation of XRef metadata while running the compile

Type: SwitchParameter
Parameter Sets: (All)
Aliases:

Required: False
Position: Named
Default value: False
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False

Instruct the cmdlet to only generate XRef metadata while running the compile and not update the assemblies and PDB files

Type: SwitchParameter
Parameter Sets: (All)
Aliases:

Required: False
Position: Named
Default value: False
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False

Instruct the cmdlet to show the standard output in the console

Default is $false which will silence the standard output

Type: SwitchParameter
Parameter Sets: (All)
Aliases:

Required: False
Position: Named
Default value: False
