AX 2009 AOD deployment procedure

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 11,633

Hi All,

I have to perform AOD deployment in AX 2009 environment for one of the client that is still using this product. Below are the steps that I can think of, for AOD deployment. Can anyone please confirm if there are any additional steps required or anything that needs to be taken care of? Please note that I will be deploying the changes for two layers i.e. USR and CUS.

1) Stop AOS server of source environment.

2) Stop AOS server of target environment.

3) Take the backup of business database of target environment in case we need to revert it if something goes wrong.

4) Take the backup of axusr.aod and axcus.aod files for target environment and put them in old folder under the application directory.

5) Copy axcus.aod and axusr.aod files from source application directory and paste in under target application directory.

6) Restart target AOS.

7) Perform full application compile.

8) Run database synchronize.

I am not sure if deleting aoi file is necessary. Can anyone please confirm if we need to delete this file for successful deployment?

Thanks,

Baber.

    Hi Ievgen,

    Thanks for your prompt response. The link mentioned the application label and cache files as well, as I am not updating label files, so I assume I don't have to delete these. Agree ?

    Regarding AOI files, this is what I want confirmation for and based on the instructions in the link, I will delete this file before AOS restart.

    Cheers,

    Baber.

    I would rather delete them that not, just to stay on the safe side, AX will rebuild them anyway after restart.
