Upgrade from Ax 2012 R3 CU9 to AX7

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 260

I am upgrading from Ax 2012 R3 CU9 to Ax7. The following tasks I followed:

i. Created a model at Ax 2012 R3 CU9 environment named, "Testing" at CUS Layer.

ii. Created some new objects and changed in an existing menu. Compiled the project and tested it.

iii. Now from Ax Command Shell I extracted the model by running the code:

Export-AXModel -model  Testing -file c:\Testing.axmodel

iv. Right click the Testing.axmodel file and send to Compressed Zip folder which created Testing.zip file. Thus I created a model file in microsoft compressed file format.

Now I followed these steps in LCS. (I created some AX 7 environments thru this LCS)

v. In my project created VSTS setup. 

vi. opened the Code Upgrade Tool. Created a new job with the following option:

a. "Estimation Option" is unchecked. 

b. Version Upgrading From - Microsoft Dynamics Ax 2012

c. Name - TestUpgrade

vii. Added the Testing.zip file by going to the option - "Add File". The Zip file uploaded successfully. Following property is showing:

a. Name- Training.zip

b. Type - Modelstore zip file

c. Size - 14 K

viii. Now went for the option "Analyze Code". The code is analyzing for several minutes in "Processing" stage. Suddenly LCS thrown an error:

"Model store file is missing in the zip file submitted for processing."

Can anybody please help me saying what is wrong in my steps? How do I create packages for uploading at Ax7 environment?

    Hi Pralay,

    You gave exported a single model, not the complete model store. This is causing your issue. The zip file should contain the complete model store with all models.
