Deployment without downtime

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 346

Hi All ,

AX 2012 R3 

The client has business operations in 17 countries and development across all companies as some companies already on Go-live and other on planned for roll-outs. As part of roll-outs, Application is underway with major customization, Post-development, the changes moved to multiple environments like UAT, SIT,Pre-prod and finally to Prod environment.

The client required deployments to Prod environment very frequently most of the times monthly as per the roll-outs, but the challenge is that client does not allow the major downtime as it is 24*7 business operations and not allowed to deploy changes to user layer.

Does it possible to deploy the code to AX 2012 R3 without downtime? 

Does anyone of you have any positive experiences to date over international clients and if so what is the procedure?

Appreciate your insights.

    No, deployment without any downtime isn't supported. To minimize the downtime, prepare the compiled application in another environment, import the modelstore to another DB schema and then switch schemas. You'll still have to synchronize DB before allowing users to use the system again.

    Thanks Martin for the reply.

    In our case , it would take approx. 5-6 hrs down time ,but you are suggesting another process .

    Please share any portal or document link to know more about this .
