You are a Dynamics 365 Finance system administrator.

You have a test environment that is used by several people at any given time.

You create a new data entity in your development and migrate the code to the test environment.

In the test environment, you are unable to find the data entity in the list.

B.

The proposed solution to enable the Public API check box in the data entity will not directly solve the problem of locating the data entity in the list.

Enabling the Public API check box in the data entity simply makes the entity available to external systems through the Data Management Framework (DMF) public API, which allows the entity to be accessed via web services. This does not affect the visibility of the entity within the Dynamics 365 Finance application.

To locate the data entity within the Dynamics 365 Finance application, there are a few possible steps that can be taken:

  1. Check if the data entity has been deployed to the correct environment. If the entity was migrated to a different environment or package, it may not be visible in the current environment.

  2. Ensure that the user has the appropriate security permissions to view the data entity. Users can only view data entities that they have access to.

  3. Check the configuration of the data entity in the application. The data entity may not be visible in the list because it is not configured to be displayed. This can be checked by navigating to Data management > Framework parameters > Entity Settings and verifying that the Display in list option is set to Yes.

  4. Verify that the data entity was published after it was created or updated. If the entity was not published, it may not be visible in the list.

In summary, enabling the Public API check box in the data entity does not directly address the issue of locating the data entity in the list. Other steps need to be taken to ensure the data entity is visible within the Dynamics 365 Finance application. Therefore, the answer is B. No.
