Export a project though command line

Posted on by MDeeb 84

HI Everyone,

am using Devops in AX 2012 , to push everything from Developmen to UAT, to Produuction automicatically, it worked fine with models when exporting /importing models, however I want to move projects instead of models, I just still need to know how could I export a project through command line and not manually.

Thank you,

    Also please remember that you need to have id values of prod and staging in sync before you can do a modelstore delivery. So you need to copy your prod databases (business database and model database) to staging , and after that only do modelstore deliveries from staging to prod. If you ever move new objects (with object id = anything in data dictionary, classes) to prod using models or xpos, the id values will get out of sync and you need to rebase your staging again from prod.

    If you have moved a table from model A to model B, it will not have any impact in the database sync. The sync simply synchronizes all database elements from AOT to database, it doesn't care about the models.

    I mean when exporting model store and importing it to production with some elements models has changed , when running synch it shall not affect any data right ?

    thank you,

    Hi, Mdeeb

    As you import the modelstore into production, there is no possibility for element Id conflicts between your so called staging or test to production environment.

    /Uday.

    I don't understand the question.

    The sync can fail for example if you introduce a new unique index, but the existing data in the table violates the new index.

    thanks a lot Nikolaos, one more question data synchronization does not fail on any element in case the element model was changed right ?

    You don't need to run x++ compilation or CIL generation in prod if you do a modelstore delivery (since it was already done in staging, and you are copying the whole codebase). Synchronization is of course needed.

    so can I export the model from Development to staging environment and perform full compile and then export the model store from staging and import it to production , does this also requires full compilation on production ? and I assume synchronization.

    Thanks a ot

    You need to export/import all changed models into your staging system, and do a modelstore delivery from staging to prod. This way you will always know that you won't face strange surprises during prod delivery.
