Ensuring a seamless Dynamics AX 2012 R3 Upgrade using Upgrade Analysis Functionality

In order to get the most out of a Dynamics AX investment, many organizations look to upgrade to AX 2012 R3 to access new and improved capabilities like warehouse management or e-commerce and social media. To ensure a smooth and successful upgrade, you can use the upgrade analysis functionality in Lifecycle Services (LCS) to assess the impact of an upgrade based on the analysis data of your model and efficiently plan your upgrade to Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012.

The Upgrade Analysis Process in AX 2012 and AX 2009

In LCS, using upgrade analysis, you can either plan a full-version upgrade to AX 2012 from AX 4.0 or AX 2009 or an in-place upgrade from one version of AX 2012 to another. The following chart shows how the process works for both:

Upgrade Analysis in AX 2009

Upgrade analysis uses an RDC tool to analyze information about the existing AX System. This information can help you in estimating the scale of the upgrade project. To use the upgrade analysis functionality, you need to first install the RDC tool, and then upload the RDC files and AOD files. The RDC tool collects metadata about the production environment, such as the number of records in the tables. Here are the steps you need to follow:

Install the RDC tool

  • Sign in to LCS.
  • Open a project, and then click “Upgrade analysis”.
  • On the upgrade analysis create job page, in the source-to-target upgrade list, click “Download”.
  • Download the RapidDataCollector.msi file, and then run it on an AX 4.0 or AX 2009 client to install and run the Rapid Data Collector service. The service creates a zip file that contains RDC files.
  • Enter a name for that job, identify the version and build of AX that you are upgrading from, and then click “Create”.

Upload and analyze files

You can upload RDC and AOD files in any order.

  • Click, On the “Upgrade analysis file” upload page and add files.
  • Enter the file location and click “Upload”.
  • After you’ve uploaded all the files, click “Analyze”. When the analysis process is completed, the status appears as Complete.

In-place upgrade in AX 2012

In case of in-place upgrades, you need to upload a model store that you have exported as a zip file.

Export model store

Use the AxUtil command-line utility to export the model store from the system that you plan to upgrade. Use any application to zip the export model store file.

Upload Zip File

In LCS, open a project, and then click “Upgrade analysis”.

On the Upgrade analysis create job work page, enter a name for the page, identify the version and build of AX 2012 that you are upgrading from, and then click “Create”.

Click on the “Upgrade analysis file upload” page and add files.

Browse to the zipped model store, and then click “Upload”. After the file is uploaded, the site lists the file name and size.

Click “Analyze Code” to start the analysis process. This process usually takes about 4 hours, depending on the size of the model store. When the process is complete, the status appears as Complete.

Once the analysis is complete, click on “Download report”.

The download process creates two reports: an overview report, which is an HTML file, and a detailed report, which is an Excel file.

To view the detailed report, you need to download the Excel spreadsheet. This report contains a number of sheets which provide a detailed description of the impact of different elements in the upgrade process.

List of sheets name and description

Ensure a Seamless Upgrade

With any enterprise software, upgrades are inevitable. As technology, industry dynamics, and customer needs keep changing, upgrading to the latest version of Dynamics AX enables organizations to cater to new requirements and improve their bottom line. If you are currently not running the latest version of Dynamics AX and are looking to upgrade, the upgrade functionality in LCS provides you with detailed information on all code conflicts that would need to be addressed before you embark upon the upgrade journey. By understanding conflicts and issues and resolving them on time, you can seamlessly plan a full-version, minor-version, and in-place upgrade to Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012.

Dynamics 365 FO PU15: Create multiselect lookup control in out of box form

August 25, 2018, 9:53 am
$

Recently came across the situation where we need to create the multi select lookup in the out of box form, As we knew in previous versions we have an option of over layering but from PU15 version they have completely restricted the over layering concept. Because of the same it was impossible for us to use the previous workaround for multi select lookup using SysLookupMultiSelectCtrl class as we have to declare the variable of it globally which is not possible in out of box form's extension in PU15 version of Dynamics 365 FO.

At the end of all and like always we found the solution for the multi select lookup within the Dynamics 365 FO only, There are out of box two classes used to build the multi select lookup, you can take below both class as a reference and create your solution,
  • ERDataAreaIdLookup
  • ERSysLookupMultiSelectGrid
I am giving the source code of above both class for your reference so you dont have to dig into AOT and check,

internal class ERDataAreaIdLookup
{
    internal static ERSysLookupMultiSelectGrid performMultiselectLookup(FormStringControl _callingCtrl, FormStringControl _recIdsControl, FormStringControl _strIdsControl, str _currentStrIds)
    {
        Query lookupQuery = new Query();

        var selectField = [tableNum(ERDataAreaView), fieldNum(ERDataAreaView, id)];

        QueryBuildDataSource dataAreaDS = lookupQuery.addDataSource(tableNum(ERDataAreaView));
        dataAreaDS.addSelectionField(fieldNum(ERDataAreaView, id));
        dataAreaDS.addSelectionField(fieldNum(ERDataAreaView, name));

        dataAreaDS.addSortField(fieldNum(ERDataAreaView, id));

        return ERSysLookupMultiSelectGrid::lookup(lookupQuery, selectField, _callingCtrl, _recIdsControl, _strIdsControl, _currentStrIds);
    }

}

internal class ERSysLookupMultiSelectGrid extends SysLookupMultiSelectGrid
{
    #SysOperation
    private const str CollectionValueSeparator = #CollectionValueSeparator;

    internal static ERSysLookupMultiSelectGrid lookup(Query _query, container _selectField, FormStringControl _callingCtrl, FormStringControl _recIdsControl, FormStringControl _strIdsControl, str _currentStrIds, queryRun _queryRun = null)
    {
        _strIdsControl.text(_currentStrIds);
        _recIdsControl.text('');

        var lookupMS = new ERSysLookupMultiSelectGrid();

        lookupMS.parmCallingControl(_callingCtrl);
        lookupMS.parmCallingControlId(_recIdsControl);
        lookupMS.parmCallingControlStr(_strIdsControl);
        lookupMS.parmQuery(_query);
        lookupMS.parmQueryRun(_queryRun);
        lookupMS.parmSelectField(_selectField);
        lookupMS.run();

        return lookupMS;
    }

    internal container getSelectedStrings()
    {
        return selectedStr;
    }

    internal SysLookupMultiSelectValues getSelectedStringsJoined()
    {
        return SysOperationHelper::convertMultiSelectedValueString(selectedStr);
    }

    internal static boolean stringListContainsItem(str _stringList, str _possibleItem)
    {
        container items = str2con(_stringList, CollectionValueSeparator);
        for (int i = 1 ; i <= conLen(items) ; i++)
        {
            str item = conPeek(items, i);
            if (item == _possibleItem)
            {
                return true;
            }
        }
        return false;
    }

}

If you still have any query please write me in the comment,

Cheers!!
