Upgrade from 2012 to D365 is well documented on docs docs.microsoft.com/.../upgrade-overview-2012 Please go through docs available and then ask specific questions.

Thanks for giving inputs, We are going to start the migration from AX 2012 R3 to D365.

I'm having few concerns,

Now, We have Ax 2012 R3 Environment. But, how to communicate to D365 ? means AX 2012 R3 -> D365 (Any Like LCS we are using)?

How to start at first step?

while moving from LCS, is it move XML files?

Note: I heard about LCS ( I need to sign & get the id.... how to do that)

Please give me the valuable suggestions.

Thanks,

vinay.

It looks like you completely ignored a link I've provided, it says how to get LCS trial here https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/unified-operations/dev-itpro/migration-upgrade/upgrade-overview-2012#sign-up-for-a-finance-and-operations-lcs-trial-or-partner-project did you read it ?

The process starts from creating project in LCS and Azure dev ops and connecting them. How to get access and create project for D365 for finance and operations in LCS is well defined on the link shared above and link below .

docs.microsoft.com/.../support-experience

High level steps for code upgrade once you connect projects from LCS and Azure dev ops are

- You are going to upload model store from AX 2012 to LCS to get the estimates

- Once you get estimates , run actual code upgrade service from LCS , which s going to check in all your code as Overlayed code. All code is going to be in XML artifacts.

- You are going to deploy VM's for developers and map their VM's to branch created by code upgrade service in Azure dev ops.

- You are going to remove all over layered code and refactor it using extensions . More information about extensions is present on extensibility page

Thanks Sukrut for Quick Reply, Every think is fine. Here, we have AX 2012 R3 & D365 both environments. is it possible, can we import/export through models by using shell scripting From Ax 2012 R3 to D365 !

Is it possible through models ? In-case possible can you please provide commands for that !

Thanks,

vinaykumar.

No you can't do that. The model files of ax2012 are not compatible with D365FO model files. You need to use the code upgrade tool in LCS. It will upgrade the whole modelstore.

Why you want to Upgrade ISV code ? You should ask ISV to provide you deployable package for the version you are upgrading to. For code upgrade , you are going to use Visual studio ,after LCS finishes migration and check ins code in Azure dev ops branch.
