I'm looking for a document on how to install PSA module for Dynamics AX 2009.  The User Guide at https://mbs.microsoft.com/downloads/partner/ax/userguides/DOC_AX2009_04_PSA2009ImplementationGuide.pdf refers to an installation document but I can't find it anywhere?

    Manual Installing Professional Services Automation

    Microsoft Dynamics AX

    Prerequisites

    Before you begin ensure the following prerequisites are met:

    • Install the core MicrosoftDynamicsAX 2009 components (file server, object server, client, and database) before you set up and configure Enterprise Portal. For more information, see the MicrosoftDynamicsAX Implementation Guide.
    • Verify that the core MicrosoftDynamicsAX installation meets all requirements, such as Active Directory® directory services being configured in native mode. For more information, see Hardware and Software Requirements.
    • Verify that Enterprise Portal and Workflow are installed. See the MicrosoftDynamicsAX Implementation Guide.
    • Verify that the Project, Human resources (HR), Customer relationship management (CRM), General Ledger, Accounts payable (AP), and Accounts receivable (AR) base AX modules are installed.
    • Verify that the AX 2009 Timesheets was installed.
    • Verify there is no existing BUS layer file installed in the AX2009 application folder (typical path for this file is C:\Program Files\Microsoft Dynamics AX\50\Application\Appl\DynamicsAx1 \axbus.aod). In case there is a BUS layer file present in the application folder. First back up this file and then merge the existing BUS layer with the one provided as an XPO file in the installation package.

     

    3.   Installing PSA

     

    Step

    Description

    1.       Stop the Dynamics AX Object Server (AOS) Service Instance

    Thanks Liviu, that's excellent.  Do you have the  URL where I can find the PSA installation files?  Doesn't seem to be included in the main AX2009 DVD image set.

    Thanks

    Hans
