==============
Today is ZBB for Milestone 1 for the next version of Dynamics AX. ZBB is short for Zero Bug Bounce, which basically means all known defects introduced since last release must be fixed. For the Partner Productivity team it means that all known defects in the new Code Upgrade toolbox are fixed. It also means I get to do what I like the most: Share exciting technology with you!

A big thank you is due to everyone who helped make this happen. All the cool ideas stem from talks with customers, partners and from online surveys. Thank you for providing us your valuable feedback!
Please notice that the icons and text resources below are not finalized yet.
Detecting upgrade conflicts


This dialog replaces the dialog you used to get, when you click "Create upgrade project". As you can see, you now have more options. For the normal upgrade conflicts, you are still able to delete obsolete elements (those casting a shadow on an identical element in the lower layer). A new option is to "Auto-resolve property conflicts". Enabling this will automatically resolve conflicts where one property is changed in Your revision, and another property is changed in Their revision on the same AOT node. If the same property is changed in both Yours and Theirs it will still be marked as a conflict. With the new toolbox you can also create upgrade projects for stale code, that needs to be revisited. By stale code I mean code that violates certain practices, and must be updated before going live. Basically the feature runs the best practice tool on your code and looks for certain types of violations and creates an upgrade project with the violating elements.

The Upgrade Project

The upgrade project itself also offers new functionality. Each conflict, and resolved conflict will have a new icon on the individual node. This makes it quite easy to get an overview of where conflicts are, and where to pay attention. As you work your way through the conflicts, you can mark a conflict as resolved, and the conflict icon changes from a red alert to a green checkmark.

Compare

The compare dialog has also had a facelift. First off all the stylesheet has been updated to include some nice gradients. While this is merely eye-candy we also added many new cool features. First of all the compare dialog can now be started by a short-cut key (CTRL-G), and it is promoted to be at the same level as Find in the context menu. This should save you for some mouseclick. Secondly your preferences are now being stored, so the next time you open compare, you don't have to select (again) what you want to compare. And as if that wasn't enough, more information is now available to assist you making the right decisions more easily. For properties the Original value is now included, so you now can see both: Yours, Theirs and Original in the same window.

Estimation report

Do you need to tell your boss when you'll be done with your work? I do. For code upgrade the help is near. You can now print a report, that is fully configurable with estimates for solving the detected conflicts of the various types. The estimates are broken down to the same granularity as the detected conflicts, which is on a per node level. Please note, that the data in the screenshot is staged, and not really meaningful.
Convergence

At Convergence in Dallas next week, my team will be present. They will share the same information as in this post. If you are there, make sure to pay them a visit.
