Maximizing Performance in Microsoft Dynamics 365 F&SC: Diagnosing and Resolving System Slowdowns
Session Overview: Ever had users report sluggish performance in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance & Supply Chain (F&SC)? Or wondered how to optimize your system for faster, more efficient processes? This session equips you with the essential tools and strategies to diagnose and resolve performance bottlenecks.
We’ll start with a high-level view of system performance, leveraging the powerful capabilities of Lifecycle Services (LCS) environment monitoring. Learn how to analyze SQL utilization, track memory trends, identify long-running queries, and apply active monitoring techniques. Then, we’ll take a deep dive into D365 trace analysis—exploring how to capture, load, and interpret trace files to pinpoint inefficiencies in specific processes. Finally, we’ll uncover the power of Just-In-Time (JIT) access to test queries and analyze performance using the Query Store.
By the end of this session, you’ll have a clear understanding of the built-in performance optimization tools within D365 F&SC and the confidence to tackle performance challenges head-on. Don’t miss this opportunity to fine-tune your system and enhance user experience!
Learning Objectives:
- Diagnose Performance Issues Using LCS Monitoring – Learn how to utilize Lifecycle Services (LCS) environment monitoring to analyze SQL utilization, memory trends, long-running queries, and active system performance metrics.
- Capture and Analyze D365 Trace Files – Understand how to take a D365 trace, load and interpret trace files, and pinpoint inefficiencies in specific processes to enhance system performance.
- Optimize Queries with JIT Access and Query Store – Gain hands-on knowledge of how Just-In-Time (JIT) access can be used to test queries, review them within the Query Store, and identify potential optimizations for faster system performance.
