Upload assets by using Azure Pipelines

  • Artículo

You can automate the upload of assets to the Asset library in Microsoft Dynamics Lifecycle Services (LCS) by using the Dynamics Lifecycle Services (LCS) Asset Upload task in Azure DevOps. This task is available only in Releases pipelines.

This article assumes you have a working knowledge of Azure Pipelines.

Note

Before you can add these steps to a pipeline, the Dynamics 365 finance and operations Tools extension for Azure DevOps must be enabled and installed in the Azure DevOps account. For more information about how to install an extension for an organization, see Install extensions.

Make sure that MSAL.PS is installed

Versions 1.* and later of the upload task require availability of the MSAL.PS PowerShell library. A task is available to automatically install the tools during pipeline execution. This task can be added anywhere in the stage before the upload task. For more information, see Add the MSAL.PS install task to a pipeline.
