This is where you will make sure any changes in the SYP layer is let through any overshadowing layers. So if you have customization in elements being patched in SYP, you will need to make sure your code in the overlayering (ISV, VAR, CUS or USR) contains the fixes from SYP. While merging the CU into the application, any developing process in the same AOT needs to be halted until you are finished. Depending on the size of customization and overshadowing, I'd say it is a matter of a couple of days work (on average). tommy.skauehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13189067870996112658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3369503819828617336.post-3355660113194726382013-04-07T18:18:04.937+02:002013-04-07T18:18:04.937+02:00hi tommy

That doesn't sound like a good setup, to be honest.<br />http://blogs.msdn.com/b/axsupport/archive/2012/03/29/overview-of-ax-build-numbers.aspx<br /><br />However, the upgrade will not consider the kernel, but rather the application (code). <br />Since your application is CU2, you need to have it upgraded to at least CU3. <br /><br />Best of luck!tommy.skauehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13189067870996112658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3369503819828617336.post-82818800540431062382013-04-06T19:51:19.901+02:002013-04-06T19:51:19.901+02:00hi tommy

If you can't figure out what code that needs to be changes, I suggest you head over to the Community Forum and ask specific questions there.

What version of DMF is this? Beta 2?...Hi Manjunath<br /><br />What version of DMF is this? Beta 2? There are a couple of code changes that needs to be done in order for that one to work in R2. You should go through all the DMF elements in FPK-layer and make sure they are not overshadowing code is SYS/SYP. I know there are at least a macro-element that is overshadowed. A full Compile of the AOT should reveal this. tommy.skauehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13189067870996112658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3369503819828617336.post-80819847893404194482013-03-21T08:04:15.851+01:002013-03-21T08:04:15.851+01:00I am unable todo CIL Generation after installing D...I am unable todo CIL Generation after installing DMF.<br />I am getting error saying : CIL generation: Value cannot be null.

During install of the new R2 "Foundation Label", it will discover 6 label file elements with same name, but in a different model, namely "Foundation Label II", and the installed will actually remove these 6 label elements from the AOT! A workaround is to remove Foundation Label II before upgrading. This will allow the installed to install all the labels from RTM, including those in Foundation Label II, and all the new ones shipped with R2. <br /><br />As for a clean install, this is not a problem, and the only "limitation" I have found in the Norwegian translation is some strings actually not being translated but simply being English. I guess someone ran out of time, and they pulled a few shortcuts. ;-)tommy.skauehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13189067870996112658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3369503819828617336.post-9910473921849727802013-02-12T13:30:50.836+01:002013-02-12T13:30:50.836+01:00Yet another one, but always nice to see other norw...Yet another one, but always nice to see other norwegian-axgeeks out there! Actually came here from you post on the AX forum commenting upgrade with label-problem.. Nice to see other with similar problem. I wondered about norwegian labels in AX r2. As I read on your post on the AX forum, it's incomplete. Have you heard anything about when it's going to be released? Since I'm installing AX r2 for a company (now)(a clean one) I wonder if you have found a work around for the problem. Or what does microsoft say about this? Any article about this... Only found your post about this. <br /><br />Else thanks in advance, I'm still in the learning process of AX, but again seems like I always will be.. <br />-Thorbarnabas.bloggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08381584284052312366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3369503819828617336.post-55656441140621839802013-01-17T18:54:58.993+01:002013-01-17T18:54:58.993+01:00The upgrade procedure is the same if you have Feat...The upgrade procedure is the same if you have Feature Pack or not. You still need to have at least CU 3 installed. If you have data you need to preserve from your RTM version, then you need to follow the guide precisely, even if you do not have any customization. tommy.skauehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13189067870996112658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3369503819828617336.post-79229106536993200142013-01-17T12:19:42.273+01:002013-01-17T12:19:42.273+01:00I need to upgrade the Ax2012 feature pack2(standar...I need to upgrade the Ax2012 feature pack2(standard app) without new customizations and with new data to Ax 2012 R2, Please let me know the process to achieve the same.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01928104711850819500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3369503819828617336.post-70274943612504413882012-12-16T08:54:32.862+01:002012-12-16T08:54:32.862+01:00Nice blog post, Tommy.
