Hello,
we have following problem in our Dynamics AX09:
- We started to produce in AX2009 two years ago in 2011 with only one client
- Now we are going to use AX2009 in other departments of our company
- That´s why we need more clients in AX2009
- How can we install more clients additional?
- We´ve got some tables which must be used across clients
- In my search I´ve heard about virtual clients
- To virtuel clients there can be tabele collections assigned
- We tried to copy the InventTable from our „old“ client in the table collection:
- Result: InventTable of our „old“ client was empty and the table collection was also empty:
- BUT: As I created a new article, all clients, which where assigned to the virtual client, had this article in Access
- I really don´t want to create all our artikels a second time in the table collection.
Do you know if it is possible to configurate our system this way?
Can you tell me about the options?

I have the same question (0)By client, you mean company (DataArea), right?
You can create new companies in Administration > Common Forms > Company accounts form.
About virtual companies, you have to realize that data in the virtual company have different DataAreaId that data in the non-virtual company. That's likely the reason why you don't see any data. You would have to change the current DataAreaId to the ID of the virtual company.
Be very careful when planning virtual companies - if your shared table used references to non-shared tables, the references would be potentially invalid in other companies. You have to either include all such tables in a single collection, or prepare another logic to deal with the problem, e.g. by synchronizing referenced data across companies.
