Import model store into a fresh new installed Database AX2012R3CU11

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by CBNestor 529

Hi all,

I recently installed a new databases for a fresh environment. But I want to install only the ModelStore of our previous customized enviroment.

I haven't been in this process but I tried Exporting and importing by creating a new schema and the applying the changes. Everything looks fine until I Synchronized the recently installed model on target database.

And 4 error shows up after database synchronization on tables I never used before (at least they are not customized)

the problem is that when I go to the AOT and look on this fields I don't find them anywhere. They are in SQL for sure but not showing in the AOT so it makes difficult to track their IDs.

My question. What should be the right process to install a customize modelstore into a new database. I that ok what I am doing?

thanks for your time beforehand.

    Good to know,

    thanks for info. I will duplicate the databases instead and generate similar environment. And stop installing modelstore on new databases x)

    Hi Nestor,

    Even standard tables and fields can have different IDs per environment.

    Hi André,

    thanks for replying

    I understand the ID issue. What I don't get is that those ID conflict that I am facing. Are untouched tables they are not modified and/or customized. And isn't it right that the foundation(sys) Elements they have the same IDs everytime a new database is installed?. Also I dont get Why I cannot see the these fields in the AOT inside the tables described by the error log.

    Hi Nestor,

    in AX2012 the model database and business database always go hand in hand. You can't move just one of them into another system, there will be issues with wrong object id values.

    If you export/import modelstore, you should get errors in the import in this case - saying that there are ID conflicts. Unless you did it via database backup, not the modelstore export/import tool.

    The only scenario where you can copy modelstore between environments is if the source and target systems have identical object id values. Normally this is the case between staging and production systems. You start by copying the prod system as staging system. Then you can do prod modelstore deliveries from staging.

    In all other cases you should export/import models between the systems, instead of export/import modelstore.

    Hi Nestor,

    When you move a model DB, you also have to use an application DB from the same environment. This is because AOT element numbers are environment specific.

    E.g. If you have two custom fields on a table, in one environment it could be:

    50000 NewFieldX (string)

    50001 NewFieldY (int)

    In another environment the IDs can be different:

    50001 NewFieldX (string)

    50002 NewFieldY (int)

    The DB sync finds the fields based on the ID and thinks that the type of field 50001 needs to be change now. So, ensure you move the modelDB together with a corresponding application database.
