(0) ShareShare

Posted on by

Hi all, (English isn’t my first language, so please excuse any mistakes !)

I have a question about data migration ax 2012. If i have server with database about "sales order" (let's call it server A) and another server with database of dynamics ax 2012 r3 (call its server B)

And now i want to get all data "sales order" in server A and put its in server B(dynamics ax) and make sure its goes to exactly "sales order" in dynamics ax

How i can do that ?

Thanks all very much !

    Hi IMHO you could use the DMF and setup entity for import data from A database to B database see the following link

    Hi Daniele, thanks for answer !

    How about using X++ to get and insert data from A database to B database ?

    I write something here

    wordpress.com/.../923089417

    take it as a suggestion : anyway try to use the DMF that's more standard and reliable.

    Bye, Daniele.

    Hi Sohaib,

    Yes, both servers in same network and domain.

    Hi Daniele,

    I cannot log in into your website, can you send another ?

    alright, in that case DMF can be best choice.

    instead of wasting time to write x++ code, you may write a SQL query and connect your server B with server A using ODBC.  Finally execute that query inside dmf

    have a look at next blog post

    Thanks Sohaib !

    But i want automatic get and insert data into server Dynamics AX, follow your link, i need to do some anothers setup to insert data.

    All step :

    1. I create query connect between 2 server A(sales order) and server B(ax 2012)

    2. In server B have table(B_sales) that store data "sales order" from server A

    3. Use X++ code (classes and bachjob) to automatic insert data from table (B_sales)  into Dynamcics AX sales order.

    (I follow this link :msdaxtech.blogspot.com/.../sales-order-and-purchase-order-tables.html).

    And the 3 step make me confure, i still dont know how to do it ?

    if you want to follow you own way, you should have started your question in different way. the question gives an impression of asking suggestion about ways of importing data from one server to other.

    anyway, now if you are following your own way to do this job, you may clarify for us,  what do you want actually, why you want to use batch job? do you want this process to happen periodically? DMF Also allows you to run jobs periodically. if you wan to run it periodically, what is your point controlling "last synched value" i.e. last synch/read created how many records and now today in next run how many records and which record should be fetched? why x++ is preferred choice for you here in this case?
