Setup source Environment

1. Import the PreProcessing (databaseupgrade\xpo\UpgradeAX5.xpo) XPO, located in the installation CD folder and Un check "Import with ID values:"
2. Open the PreProcessing Checklist "SysCheckList_PreUpgrade50" located in the AX50PreUpgradeFramework project.
3. The Preprocessing Checklist appears, if your checklist has this @ABC123 instead of text, and then do this to get the missing label file. To apply the new label files in your AX4/5 machine (if you are working with preprocessing framework):

· Copy the label file to the label folder in your AX4/2009 machine
· Restart the AOS
· Label folder in AX4/2009 is a sub folder under ...\Application\Appl\ where you can find *.ald files in it.

4. Run through the PreProcessing Checklist Items to prepare the database for Upgrade

· If upgrading AX 2009, and the upgrade scripts don't run after opening the cockpit, jump to step #12 and follow the steps there to setup the batch server (AX4 does not require setting up a batch server). Then come back to this point and continue.
· If upgrading AX4, You need to compile the ReleaseUpdate* classes and the ReleaseUpdateCockpit form.
· If upgrading AX4, when running the cockpit run multiple instances of AX4:

o Start the new Microsoft Dynamics AX client.
o Select Basic > Periodic > Batch > Processing.
o A batch dialog appears.
o Add DataUpgrade in the Group field, and click OK.

13. Make sure that only the machine you are using has the Is Batch Server checkbox checked. Now go to the Batch Server Groups tab and select the DataUpdate Batch Server Group
14. Another configuration that is required to start running these jobs is the Batch Group form. You can access this in Administration\Setup\Batch Groups
15. Select the DataUpdate Batch Group and go to the Batch Servers tab.

Data Upgrade Stages

Source DB connection step:
In the Source DB connection step, specify the server name where the Source Database is located and the Source Database name. Click OK once this information is entered.
PreSynchronize step:
This step loads the Upgrade cockpit. Depending on which stage you started the Upgrade Process, you might need to configure the Batch Groups and Batch Servers. Once this configuration is set, click the Run button. PreSync scripts should start running at this stage.
Create Tables Step:
This step synchronizes the database. No special steps need to be taken here.
Generate table and field mapping:
This step generates table and field mapping between source and target systems. There should be no mapping with error.
Generate Bulk Copy and Script Prioritization Step:
Bulk Copy Priorities and Script-Table dependencies are resolved in this step. No special steps need to be taken here.
Launch Data Upgrade Step:
This step loads the Upgrade cockpit. Once the cockpit is loaded, click on the Run button and the Post Sync scripts should start running.
This is where the data is actually copied from the Source Database to the Target Database based on the Mappings found in the Generate Table and Field Mapping step.
