Migrating Management Reporter 2012 CU 9 Legacy to DataMart

Posted on by Community Member Microsoft Employee

Hello,

We are looking to migrate an existing MR 2012 CU 9 Legacy system to the DataMart. I am familiar with adding and removing the Integrations in the Configuration Console, and plan to add the DataMart connection then remove the Legacy connection once the DataMart has successfully integrated. I will then delete the Legacy companies named "XXX-Curr" so only the DataMart companies will be available.

Is there anything I'm missing here? It seems like it should be a straightforward process. However, if MR is looking for "XXX-Curr" I could see how there would be a tedious re-coding of the reports to select the correct company name.

Thank you!

RE: Migrating Management Reporter 2012 CU 9 Legacy to DataMart

Jon,

I have done more than a few of these, and you are correct, it is tedious to make these changes manually. This is especially vexing on the Dynamics SL product. Microsoft Technical Support has a tool called "Dynamics AX Management Report 2012 TDBX Update Diagnostic," which works as follows.

You export your building blocks to a TDBX, then run this utility against it... It allows you to update segments in the TDBX globally. Then you can import the modified building blocks back into your system.

Since you're bringing the data mart online, prior to taking down your Legacy connection, you can log the technical support request, required to get this fix, once you determine if this fix is necessary. The technical support incident should be credited back to you as this is a known issue. I know this is silly, but when has that ever gotten in the way of a bad idea or bureaucratic hurdle.
