also allows you to record business process flows and identify the entry points
used.
5.
Code Upgrade Service Tool (Beta): The Code Upgrade Service Tool
(Beta) is designed to help Microsoft Dynamics AX developers upgrade their X++
code to Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012. The service analyzes X++ code patterns and
automatically fixes some patterns, provides suggestions on how to fix other
patterns, categorizes upgrade tasks, and enables developers to add their own
patterns to be analyzed.
6.
Security Upgrade Advisor Tool
(Beta): The
Security Upgrade Advisor Tool (Beta) is intended to help simplify the process
of upgrading security settings from an earlier version of Microsoft Dynamics AX
to Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012. It compares entry point and permissions between
systems and generates a list of matching privileges that can be used a
particular role. The role-to-privilege mapping is based on the user
group-to-access right mapping in earlier versions of Microsoft Dynamics AX
systems. The tool is designed as an aid for upgrading security settings and is
not one click solution. Developers are advised to review each suggestion
carefully before making any changes.
7.
Intelligent Data Management
Framework Tool: The
Intelligent Data Management Framework Tool is designed to help system
administrators optimize the performance of Microsoft AX installations. The Intelligent
