Appchecker README

The Dynamics Appchecker is a set of technologies that allow customers to gain insight into their application code (i.e. source and metadata) in ways that have not been possible before. The tecnology is based on representing both source code and metadata as XML and providing rich search facilities by using the XQuery language to express declarative queries over the source code. The current implementation runs inside a BaseX database running locally on the developer's box. You can find more information about installing BaseX here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/unified-operations/dev-itpro/dev-tools/install-basex  

Rules

The rules directory contains the set of rules that are will be checked when the user uploads their deployable package to LCS. If the submitted application code does not satisfy these requirements, the deployable package will not be accepted. The rules can be inspected and downloaded for any use, but Microsoft is the only agent that can modify and add new rules.

Tools

The tools directory contains tools that the user can use to query over his source code that is extracted into an XML database.

Using

• First, you will need to have a BaseX server installed on a server that can be reached from the computer on which you are running this extension. BaseX is open source and can be installed from here: www.basex.org.
• You then need to extract the ASTs for the source code that you are looking at.
