In step 1 after entering the credentials

Source server (in the format servername\serverinstance)

There is a step in the upgrade checklist that will prepare the model element metadata in the database. To cure this error, run the CheckList.

To run the pre-upgrade checklist, follow these steps.

Go to System Administration > Setup > Checklists > Dynamics 365 for Unified Operations data upgrade checklist.

If the checklist isn't shown, follow these steps.

Open the Developer workspace, and in the AOT go to Menu Items > Display > SysCheckList_UpgradeToNextV.

Select and hold (or right-click) SysCheckList_UpgradeToNextV, and then select Open.

Does anyone know how to get around this error in the AX2012 to D365 self service upgrade? It seems the Database version check fails and the error in the log is Invalid object name dbo.ModelElement.

Hi Gunjan Bhattacharyya ,

Video tutorial: community.dynamics.com/.../techtalk-ax2012-data-upgrade-in-self-service-environment-july-16-2021

My case is the same as the one in the video tutorial and the name of the database is: MicrsoftDynamicsAx

Values:

Source server (in the format servername\serverinstance): XXXXXXXXX\MSSQLSERVER

Source database name: MicrsoftDynamicsAx

User name: sa

Password: **********

If I use MicrosoftDynamicsAx_model as database name, the error is different with another table name.

Error in this case: Microsoft.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Invalid object name 'dbo.SysSetupLog'.

Hi Gerardo Moreno,

Which database are you trying to upgrade - the AX transactional database or the model DB? The model DB has a table "dbo.ModelElement",.
