My friends, MVP Mark Polino ( @mpolino ) and Andy Snook ( @snookgofast ), both members of the Fastpath team, have just released a comprehensive security book titled, Microsoft Dynamics GP Security and Audit Field Manual .

In part 2 of this series, I covered how to setup a Build Definition of for our Build-Engine project. I also began showing the steps required by the Build-Engine definition in order to take your development project from the dictionary to an actual set of extracted dictionaries and chunk files that can be delivered to your QA team. NOTE : the same process can be used to take your dictionaries from QA to release to your download site. The first step, as shown before, is to determine the source for the Build-Engine process. We said that we would use the Build-Engine project itself as source for the Build process, since it contains all our Dexterity (and Dexterity Utilities) files, PowerShell scripts, and macros to make it all happen. 1. Following the selection of the source, our first task is to create the necessary folders to host the various files. This tasks uses an inline PowerShell to do this: CreateFolders (inline PS script) $folders = @("Build", "Source&qu
