Fixing customization to Ax elements

Posted on by Community Member

I had added some new method to an existing table thru AOT and it shown as (usr) model

I need to fix this customization to secure it from deletion.

I had faced one problem with my company administrator (I'm not sure what happen exactly) but while he was doing a database backup from live server to test server (my work only in the test server) all my previous work had been canceled like new added custom tables, new methods added to an existing tables, etc.

I knew one fast solution it to import the saved .xpo for any custom projects I did before but I want another solution or suggestion to prevent like these problem to happened again.

Most thanks Sukrut for your suggested answer but would you please refer to any documentation on how to use TFS as I'm new in the pool.

Note that you don't have to set up TFS, you can use the hosted version called Visual Studio Team Services (VSTS).

Hi there,
I had checked TFS and VSTS and this is not what I'm looking for. May my inquiry is not clear enough.
My company using AX2012 and they have two different internal servers (one called LIVE and the other called TEST).

My job is to do the development on TEST and then .xpo Export/Import from TEST to LIVE.
I had notice that all of my developed projects are build in (usr) model and other model like (var) could not be deleted from the system.
Any element in (var) model changed to (usr) model after any changes and if I delete the element it is back to (var) model and all changes had gone.
My simple question how to fix and save my changes from deletion?

Developing in TEST, deploying via .xpo files... That's exactly how it shouldn't be done. No wonder you all sorts of problem.

Yes, if you delete your changes from USR, they get deleted. If you want to "save changes from deletion", simply don't delete them.

HI Mustafa,

Any element in (var) model changed to (usr) model after any changes and if I delete the element it is back to (var) model and all changes had gone.

This is standard feature if you delete or compare any object in user layer it delete all changes done in user layer .

If you want to save changes is done in user layer just take xpo from user layer and delete changes in user layer. After import this xpo in var layer.

When I import back this project it comes in the layer I selected (var) and changed could not be deleted.
