In readiness for future AXR2 implementations, where can i find a list of released Dynamics AX2012 R2 hot fixes? There is a hotfix release page for AX2012 and AX2009 but not for AXR2.

Many Thanks,

Why would Hotfixes be limited to just Partners? Us customers need to be able to see and apply them too. Please open this up to Customers.

Hello Daniel!

Are you na AX Developer? AX Hotfixes do not work like Windows 7 or 8 KB or update. If you just apply a AX hotfix you can crash all your system.

A hotfix must be used just if necessary, and must be validated in test environment first.

I think that Microsoft do not open this resource for customers for security reason.

That is what i think!!!

Francisco is right. Installing a HotFix might actually change code in the business application and not only core or kernel components. Such changes needs to be supervised by developers, or your installation might get unstable and flawed.

Another more open source for releases and build versions is here:

Just because someone is a customer does not mean that they do not do their own development/deployment/maintenance work, or that they are somehow more stupid. I do happen to be an ax developer that works for a customer and it would help me out a lot if I could even view the list of hotfixes for AX 2012 R2. We have come across some really strange bugs and some of them are covered by hotfixes. It is a waste of time and money for me to have to ask my partner to ask Microsoft for a patch/hotfix so that I can apply it. BTW I apply all hotfixes/patches in my dev environment first. If they appear stable I move them to the test environment so that users can vet them, only after they pass that do they ever make it into a production system.

Why am I discriminated against just because I am a customer?

Hi Daniel

First of all, I am confident the limitations are not personal, just business (as usual). ;-)

Surely there will be skilled AX developers who are not eligible to access the Partner portal, but would be fully capable of handling the installation of a HotFix.

I believe the whole concept of having a Partner restricted distribution of HotFixes is just as much business as QA. That is just how it works.

HI Tommy,

It's disappointing but I think you are right. Just another way to funnel money to a middleman that doesn't want to get cut out of the pie. I'm not saying that partners aren't necessary all the time. There are times when they can be very useful.

It's just kind of like a car manufacturer saying that you have to get all your servicing done at the dealership. Or a phone OS provider saying that you have to get your patches through your carrier.

I hope MS will change their mind and let us at least view the hotfixes. I'll have to bug someone when I'm at the next developer conference.
