Dynamics Ax 4.0 to Dynamics Ax 2012 upgrade – Part 2, Security Upgrade Advisor Tool


In part 1 I talked about few general issues regarding the upgrade process to Dynamics Ax 2012 from earlier versions.

In this part I will talk little bit about the Security Upgrade Advisor Tool from Microsoft to map/transfer security information from a legacy (Ax 4.0) system over to the Dynamics Ax 2012 target system. 

On Dynamics Ax Information Source there is available video where the SUA tool is demonstrated, but the the first step in the process is not shown in the video. This is how to export the legacy security information as an XML file.

Here is how to do that:

After you have downloaded the SecurityUpgradeAdvisorTool.msi from Dynamics Ax Information Source (you need to have access as partner or customer) and extracted the msi file you need to run the X++ job ExportSecuritySettingsBuild in the legacy system. This generates the XML file that is used in the 2012 system to import the legacy security information.

For the rest of the process simply follow this video

When extending tables we need to follow the naming rule as such: <TABLENAME><_Extension> the compiler understands the _Extensions suffix and knows that the table in question is extending a table from the standard system. This gives us access ...
