Prism for AL
Download
Current Release
The latest production release is Prism for AL 2.5.0 SE.
Performance Tip: For optimal graph loading performance, please review
your anti-virus path exceptions.
The exclusion paths were changed in preview version 1.9.0 due
to heavy file activity during graph building.
Need a trial license? After download and installation, get your trial license via Prism's control panel.
See Release Notes for product history and read the EULA for terms and conditions.

Visual Studio Code Extension
Local application data file performance and anti-virus programs
When Prism for AL meets a package for the first time,
the individual source files are cached in the file system. Likewise, Prism for AL uses
the file system heavily when generating a code graph. Anti-virus programs can
slow down these processes significantly, so you may consider excluding Prism for AL's local application data path
(this is %LOCALAPPDATA%\Statical\PrismAL and/or a corresponding MSIX virtualized path)
from being scanned.
No matter which anti-virus program you are using, please use Prism for AL's Help | Optimize Prism Package Cache Performance menu to copy to clipboard a PowerShell script that excludes Prism's local application data paths from Windows Defender. You need to run the script as administrator. If you use a different anti-virus program, you can read the paths to exclude in the script.
