Takes care of all the details and steps that is needed to create a valid bacpac file to move between Tier 1 (onebox or Azure hosted) and Tier 2 (MS hosted), or vice versa

Supports to create a raw bacpac file without prepping. Can be used to automate backup from Tier 2 (MS hosted) environment

Invoke-D365InstallSqlPackage

You should always install the latest version of the SqlPackage.exe, which is used by New-D365Bacpac.

This will fetch the latest .Net Core Version of SqlPackage.exe and install it at "C:\temp\d365fo.tools\SqlPackage".

New-D365Bacpac -ExportModeTier1 -BackupDirectory c:\Temp\backup\ -NewDatabaseName Testing1 -BacpacFile "C:\Temp\Bacpac\Testing1.bacpac"

Will backup the "AXDB" database and restore is as "Testing1" again the localhost SQL Server. Will run the prepping process against the restored database. Will export a bacpac file to "C:\Temp\Bacpac\Testing1.bacpac". Will delete the restored database. It will use trusted connection (Windows authentication) while working against the SQL Server.

New-D365Bacpac -ExportModeTier2 -DatabaseServer localhost -DatabaseName AxDB -SqlUser User123 -SqlPwd "Password123" -NewDatabaseName Testing1 -BacpacFile C:\Temp\Bacpac\Testing1.bacpac

Will create a copy the db database on the dbserver1 in Azure. Will run the prepping process against the copy database. Will export a bacpac file. Will delete the copy database.

New-D365Bacpac -ExportModeTier2 -SqlUser User123 -SqlPwd "Password123" -NewDatabaseName Testing1 -BacpacFile "C:\Temp\Bacpac\Testing1.bacpac"

Normally used for a Tier-2 export and preparation for Tier-1 import

Will create a copy of the registered D365 database on the registered D365 Azure SQL DB instance. Will run the prepping process against the copy database. Will export a bacpac file. Will delete the copy database.

New-D365Bacpac -ExportModeTier2 -SqlUser User123 -SqlPwd "Password123" -NewDatabaseName Testing1 -BacpacFile C:\Temp\Bacpac\Testing1.bacpac -ExportOnly

Will export a bacpac file. The bacpac should be able to restore back into the database without any preparing because it is coming from the environment from the beginning

New-D365Bacpac -ExportModeTier1 -BackupDirectory c:\Temp\backup\ -NewDatabaseName Testing1 -BacpacFile "C:\Temp\Bacpac\Testing1.bacpac" -DiagnosticFile "C:\temp\ExportLog.txt"

Will backup the "AXDB" database and restore is as "Testing1" again the localhost SQL Server. Will run the prepping process against the restored database. Will export a bacpac file to "C:\Temp\Bacpac\Testing1.bacpac". Will delete the restored database. It will use trusted connection (Windows authentication) while working against the SQL Server.

It will output a diagnostic file to "C:\temp\ExportLog.txt".

New-D365Bacpac -ExportModeTier1 -BackupDirectory c:\Temp\backup\ -NewDatabaseName Testing1 -BacpacFile "C:\Temp\Bacpac\Testing1.bacpac" -MaxParallelism 32

Will backup the "AXDB" database and restore is as "Testing1" again the localhost SQL Server. Will run the prepping process against the restored database. Will export a bacpac file to "C:\Temp\Bacpac\Testing1.bacpac". Will delete the restored database. It will use trusted connection (Windows authentication) while working against the SQL Server.

It will use 32 connections against the database server while generating the bacpac file.
