Issue

Some X++ hotfixes related to model “DemoDataSuite” belongs to your one-box development machine only.It means you cannot deploy it on UAT or on production environment else you will get below error related to applicationfoundationformadaptor dependency

The running command stopped because the preference variable “ErrorActionPreference” or common parameter is set to Stop: Unable to resolve dependency ‘dynamicsax-applicationfoundationformadaptor’.

Solution

To exclude package “DemoDataSuite” or any other model from VSTS Or DevOps build output you can set the parameter or variable PackagingExclusions before queuing the build.Once the build will complete, deployable packages or artifacts will not contain excluded models.
