Please add options to automate all ALM steps.
Currently, the export and import of a solution that has custom Dual Write mappings can be automated.
The following can not be automated:
- creating a link between D365FO and Dataverse environments with option to specify companies
- unlinking environment
- clear dual write tables in D365FO and Dataverse
- running mappings including the options to specify the intial sync
- applying a solution
- stopping mappings
- pausing mappings
- changing the version of a mapping
- updating the current version of a mapping after a new version of a solution has been applied

We have created a Visual Studio package solution that does this very thing.And it has been tested and used on Dev/Test environments.So, it is possible.

Sorry but the statement from "Administrator" is not covering this topic here and I cannot understand why 88 votes are made obsolete.1 - creating a link between D365FO and Dataverse environments with option to specify companiesTo be automated, just give us API params to define source and target and it could be worked in easily in our pipelines.2 - unlinking environmentTo be automated3 - clear dual write tables in D365FO and DataverseAlready happening on linking currently but the notification after linking could be improved (when the progress at all is working)4 - running mappings including the options to specify the intial syncTo be automated, at least the version without the initial sync (regular activity for each migration when GOLD-->MIG copies are ongoing)5 - applying a solutionTo be automated, just prepare API params to define versions6 - stopping mappingsTo be automated (same as button functionality)7 - pausing mappingsTo be automated (same as button functionality)8 - changing the version of a mappingI agree here, this must be tested upfront in lower envs. No automation needed from my point of view.9 - updating the current version of a mapping after a new version of a solution has been appliedI agree here, this must be tested upfront in lower envs. No automation needed from my point of view.So from 9 recommendations, 7 are totally valid. Can we please reopen this item or do we now have to maintain the next Ideas like https://experience.dynamics.com/ideas/idea/?ideaid=2f777091-6dba-ec11-bea1-0003ff45dadf

This needs to be a base feature in order to any type of CI/CD automation. Requiring someone to do steps manually defeats the purpose of being able to automate deployments.

This would be a dream come true.

Manual uptake on new versions of the mapping is a mandate as each map version potentially brings new features or enhancements. The customers must test these maps in their dev box before promoting to production. So there is not much we can do here!
