{How to} update Dynamics 365 Apps in an Environment Power Platform Admin Center

Hello Everyone,

Today I am going to show how to update Dynamics 365 Apps from Power Platform Admin Center.

For example: You don't see some of the Dynamics 365 new features in  your environment, its because the updates are no updated in the particular environment.

So in order to see new features some of them will come with App updates, hence we need to update the Model Driven Apps.

How do you do that?

Login into Power Platform Admin Center

Select the environment and  click on  "... "  and  "Resources and" "Dynamics 365 Apps"

In my use case i am installing updates for Dynamics 365 Sales

You can also check which version of Model Driven App is currently installed before you make updates to the App here:

Click on updates :

We need to accept Microsoft terms and conditions before make update :

and confirm.

See the App update is in progress:

It may take 2hr to complete the update and check back after sometime and your Dynamics 365 App is installled with updates.

That's it for today.

I hope this helps.

{Resolved} Preview Environment Login Error Sorry you'll need to sign up

Hello Everyone,

Today i am going to show how to resolve the Microsoft preview environment login error.

Why you are not able to login into Microsoft Preview Environment.

Lets see that in action.

It is because the user logging in don't have Power App License.

Login using Microsoft Power App license and then you should be able to login into your preview environment.

So if you are accessing the preview environment using your sandbox then its the same the user's license is invoked and you can Microsoft Preview Environment.

I hope this helps.

Then Try it now appears on the page, refer to the above screen shot.

Its completely free you can create and test apps in your environment, with full featured Power Apps development tools, premium connectors, and Dataverse.

Click on Try it now, then a new page will appear.

Then 

Enter : Environment name and select the "region" carefully as the PREVIEW features first available in USA region so you need to select the "Preview(United States)" as your region and "Accept" the changes.

Note: Once you select the region and accepted it can't be rollback to any other region, so select which region you want to be inn.

Thats it for today.

{How to} turn on Asynchronous merge Dynamics 365

Hello Everyone,

Today i am going to show how to turn on asynchronous merge through Power Platform admin center.

First of all what is Asynchronous Merge?

Transcations can be configured to cascade across all related records. so if changes on parent record made will be effect on the all child records too.

So cascading relationships are configured at the table level.

Sychronous versus asychronous:

With the sychronous cascading transaction, all impacted records are identified by the system and when the records are processed and locked by the system. Once all the changes happened then they are unlocked.

Whereas asychronous transcation will be run in the background.

How do you enable that from PPAC

Login into PPAC

select the environment and click on settings > Products > Features

Asychronous Merge : Turn on.

Finally "save" the changes.

When enabled, records merged through the unified client interface will be merged asychronously in the background.

Note: Allow records to be merged asychronously.

I hope this helps
