Dynamics AX MVP builds a Configuration Launcher
Arijit Basu, a Dynamics AX MVP from Kolkata, India, has often seen that it becomes difficult to manage AX Configurations in an implementation. To relieve this pain in one of his implementations, he came up with an AX Configuration Launcher which can be installed on each user’s machine.
The launcher creates two local folders, one for .axc files and other for .url files. This launcher then shows all the files in groups to the user. These two folders can now be remotely updated/ synced by the admin so when new configurations are available, it is dropped into these folders and end users can access them. Also when existing configurations are no longer used, they can be remotely removed from the folders.
In version revisions, Arijit has revamped the user interface, and added the ability to sync from a centralized network share and to configure the application.
