>... Do you know how I can validate the RS is running properly? ... There are at least 3 options: 1) The easiest way to have some high level idea about RS availability you can point your browser to the following URL which can in fact be thought of like "health check endpoint": https:// YourServerNameIsHere .cloudax.test.dynamics.com/healthcheck?testname=ping It could take some time to create a response if RS or CDX were not used for awhile but eventually you should see something similar to: If you prefer to do this check in any kind of automation you might want to use an additional parameter which will tell the check to return result as XML, in this case you should add the following at the end of the Url above: &resultFormat=xml 2) You have probably seen the very last post (sent on on 23 Dec 2015 2:06 PM) to this thread which explains how to send couple of requests to RS, as was mentioned there that could be done by leveraging any language/framework which is capable of issuing HTTP requests and analyzing response. 3) If you are using the LCS VM or deployed not only RS but also ecommerce or MPOS - then of course just use them (by interacting with the UI) - that will be good indication that Retail Server is in working condition. >... you still have a hard life if you are trying to integrate a third-party eCommerce (especially if it is not Windows/.NET/ASP based ... In addition to a Managed proxy mentioned in the above referenced forum thread, there is one more type of proxy which doesn't have any dependency on .Net: How to access Retail Server in TypeScript(JavaScript) application . I would like to hear more specific details if you/anyone else still believe something is still coupled with .NET from Retail Server endpoint point of view in such a way that it blocks certain 3rd parties to achieve their goal. Just in case, again, the Retail Server is standard ODATA Service which is an open protocol and has nothing to do to Microsoft/.Net which means that Retail Server can be consumed by any client capable of issuing/handling HTTP Requests. If, by any reason, you still cannot/don't want to use those 2 proxies mentioned above you can generate/build your own by writing everything (sending and handling HTTP requests) from scratch or by leveraging one of ready to reuse libraries which exists for several different languages: http://www.odata.org/libraries/ so you could just generate your proxy based on the metadata available at: https:// YourServerNameIsHere .cloudax.test.dynamics.com/Commerce/$metadata
