Data Import/Export Framework

Posted on by Jacqueline Olson 641

I was looking at the AX 2012 Upgrade Guide.  On page 40, it says -

If you have installed any version of the Data Import/Export Framework from InformationSource, you must fully uninstall it before upgrading. This includes removing all binary files by using Add/Remove Programs, and then uninstalling any model that begins with DMF from the FPK layer. For more information see How to: Remove (Uninstall) a Model (msdn.microsoft.com/.../6552673a-a386-4349-9438-64c0de94ca7d(AX.60).aspx).

You do not need to remove installations of the Data Import/Export Framework that were installed as part of cumulative update 7 for AX 2012 R2.

I am going to do an in-place upgrade from AX 2012 R2 (no CUs)...so according to the above documentation, I am going to remove DIEF per above.  

Questions:

1. So, after I've upgraded to AX 2012 R3, I will need to re-install DIEF (the version from CU7)...where can I download this newer version from?

2.  I am assuming you will need to do a new install of DIEF after R3 so, no upgrade for DIEF?

    Hi Jacqueline,

    If you install Ax 2012 R3, the Data Import Export Framework is part of the installation. You don't have to install a separate model. You will meed to reinstall the binaries e.g. client and server files. This is a part of the setup.

    You can actually migrate your DIXF data from previous versions to the latest version. You can read it in my blog: www.kaya-consulting.com/.../how-to-upgrade-data-importexport-framework-to-ax2012-r2-cu7
