In Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012, you can select the Single-computer installation option to install a complete Microsoft Dynamics AX system on a single computer for testing, demonstration, or development. Setup uses default settings to configure all components, and new Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 databases are created. User names and passwords are the only input required. If you want to connect to an existing database or specify other custom settings, you must use the custom installation type. IMPORTANT : You should not use the single-computer installation in a production environment. Use this installation type only for development, testing, and demonstration. A single-computer installation includes the following components: • Database • Application Object Server (AOS) • Enterprise Portal • Help Server • Reporting Services extensions • Analysis Services configuration • Client • .NET Business Connector • Debugger • Trace Parser • Visual Studio Tools • Microsoft Office Add-ins • Management utilities Regards, Hossein Karimi

Blog Post: Troubleshooting in Installation AX 2012
In Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012, it is easier to troubleshoot problems with installation, because log files and reports are easier to find. Because log files and reports are saved to a single location, you do not spend time searching in multiple places. In addition, a new Setup summary report is added. This report lists the components that you installed, their installation status, and next steps, if applicable. You can access the Setup log files and reports from links in the Setup wizard, or you can navigate to the Setup Logs location in the folder where you installed Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012.

Blog Post: Install an Environment
This topic describes installation of the Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 database and application object server. As part of installing the database, you must identify any additional model files that are required for your environment. Model data files contain metadata information about application objects and are stored in the database. They replace Application Object Definition (AOD) files. For more information about model files, refer to the "Overview and Planning" chapter in this course. The AOS is a Windows service that controls communications among Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 clients, databases, and applications. The Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 client is an interface to Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 data and functionality. When you install a Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 client, the following components are included: • The Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 interface that connects to an AOS. • The Microsoft Dynamics AX Configuration utility. BEST PRACTICE : If you are installing a large number of clients, it is recommended that you install them from a file server and create a shared configuration file. For more information, refer to the "Client deployments" topic in this chapter. Regards, Hossein Karimi

Blog Post: Add Your Own Models
During installation, Setup imports models from the \Models\Standard folder. This folder contains the axsys.axmodel file that is used to import the SYS layer. It is possible to include your own models during the installation. Use the following steps to include your models during the installation: 1. Copy the installation files from the installation media to your local hard drive or a network share. 2. Browse to the \Models\Standard folder. Create a folder within the Standard folder. Copy your .axmodel model files to the folder that you created. BEST PRACTICE : It is recommended that you create a different folder to store the models received from different sources. For example, create a folder for each independent software vendor (ISV) or each value-added reseller (VAR). Store the model files received from the ISVs and VARs in their respective subfolders. During installation, Setup will display a list of model files from the Standard folder and all subfolders within the Standard folder. WARNING : Do not copy your model files to the Standard folder. The Standard folder must be used for models that are mandatory such as the axsys.axmodel file. Regards, Hossein Karimi

Blog Post: Post-Install Recommendation
By default, if a Windows service takes longer than 30 seconds to start, the system warns you that the service did not respond to a start command. The AOS Windows service can take longer than 30 seconds to start and the lack of a response within 30 seconds can cause the service to stop. If an AOS repeatedly does not start, you might want to configure the registry to give Windows services more time, such as 120 seconds, to start before prompting with an error that a service did not respond to a start command. WARNING : This section contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. Be aware that serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. It is recommended that you back up the registry before you modify it. If a problem occurs, you can restore it. Regards, Hossein Karimi

Blog Post: Install an AOS Instance
Use this procedure to install a single or initial instance of the AOS on a server. If you are installing other Microsoft Dynamics AX components at the same time, the installation screens will vary based on the components you are installing. 1. Start Microsoft Dynamics AX Setup. Under Install , select Microsoft Dynamics AX components . 2. Step through the initial wizard pages. 3. If the Setup Support files have not yet been installed on this computer, the Select a file location page is displayed. The Setup Support files are required for installation. Provide a file location or accept the default location and then click Next . On the Ready to install page, click Install . 4. On the Select instalAXlation type page, click Custom installation , and then click Next . 5. On the Select components page, select Application Object Server (AOS) , and then click Next . 6. On the Prerequisite Validation page, resolve any errors. When all errors are resolved, click Next . 7. On the Select a file location page, select the location where 32-bit versions of Microsoft Dynamics AX files should be installed. 8. On the Connect to a Microsoft SQL Server database page, in the Server name box, type or select the name of the SQL Server computer. In the Database name box, type or select the name of the Microsoft Dynamics AX database. 9. On the Configure an Application Object Server (AOS) instance page, assign a name to the AOS instance. Optionally, you can specify the following ports: Port Purpose Default TCP/IP port Used by other Microsoft Dynamics AX components to communicate with the AOS. 2712 Services WSDL port Used by external applications to access the WSDL for AOS-based Microsoft Dynamics AX web services. 8101 Services endpoint port Used by external applications to access AOS-based Microsoft Dynamics AX web services. 8202 10. If you are installing a second AOS instance on a server, you must specify unique port numbers. By default, each time that you install an additional AOS instance on a computer, the port numbers increment by one. For example, the second AOS instance on a computer would be assigned to TCP/IP port 2713 by default. Port conflicts can cause one AOS to stop. NOTE : It is recommended that you use a uniform naming convention for all aspects of the installation, including the database name, the AOS name, and the application file instance name. Because Microsoft Dynamics AX installations typically include one database, one set of application files, and multiple AOS instances, make sure that AOS instance names are consistent with the naming convention, yet unique. For example, you might use a name like Fabrikam_DYNAX6_Live_AOS1, which includes a shortened form of your business name, the Microsoft Dynamics AX version, a code for the purpose of the installation, and an identifier for the AOS instance. 11. On the Specify an AOS account page, select either the Network Service account of the local computer or a domain account for the AOS service. 12. Setup grants the following permissions to the AOS account: a. Adds the AOS account to the database as a user, and makes it a member of the db_ddladmin , db_datareader , and db_datawriter database roles. b. Grants the user execute rights to a list of stored procedures, tables, views, and the DBO schema. Detailed information can be found in the Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 Installation Guide . 13. On the Prerequisite validation results page, resolve any errors. When there are no errors, click Next . 14. On the Ready to install page, click Install . 15. The AOS Windows service can take several minutes to start the first time after it is installed. To determine whether it has started, open Administrative tools > Services , and review the status of the Microsoft Dynamics AX Object Server service. Regards, Hossein Karimi

Blog Post: Modify the Registry
Use the following procedure to configure the registry so that the AOS Windows service has ample time to start before Windows prompts with an error. 1. Click Start , click Run , type regedit , and then click OK . 2. Locate and then click the following registry subkey: \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control 3. Right-click Control , click New > DWORD (32-Bit) Value . 4. Right-click the new key and then click Rename . Enter the name ServicePipeTimeout . 5. Right-click the key again and then click Modify . 6. In the Value data text box, enter 120000 and then click OK . The value 120000 allows the AOS Windows service 120 seconds to start before the system prompts with a warning. If the AOS fails to start after you implement this registry key, verify in the Microsoft Dynamics AX Server Configuration utility that the AOS is using a unique port. Port conflicts prevent the AOS from starting. Regards, Hossein Karimi

Blog Post: Install an AOS instance on multiple computers
For most production environments, you will install multiple AOS instances, each on a different server. You can use multiple AOS instances to support batch processing and load balancing. If you plan to install multiple application object servers on the same computer, you must specify a unique port for each AOS otherwise port conflicts will cause one or more application object servers to stop. Install each AOS instance as described in the "Procedure: Install an AOS Instance", but be certain to point all the AOS instances to the same database. You can use a single domain account for all instances of the AOS service or you can specify a different account for each instance. It is recommended that you use a separate domain account for each AOS instance. If you use multiple accounts, you can create a group in Active Directory to more easily manage AOS account permissions. Use the following procedure to set up permissions for the Active Directory group. 1. Create a group in Active Directory. 2. Add the AOS accounts to the group you created. 3. Make the Active Directory group a login on the database server. 4. Make the login a user in the Microsoft Dynamics AX database, and add the user to the following database roles: db_ddladmin , db_datareader , and db_datawriter , and grant access to the following objects. Type Permission Objects Schema Control DBO Table Select SchemaVersion View Select UTILELEMENTS, UTILIDELEMENTS, UTILMODELS Stored Procedure Execute CREATESERVERSESSIONS, CREATEUSERSESSIONS, getNumInternal, XU_AllocateHandle, XU_AppendMerge, XU_AppendMergeSecurityMetadata, XU_AssignAxId, XU_BuildElementList, XU_BuildElementListByParentHandle, XU_BuildElementListByParentName, XU_BuildHandleOrderList, XU_BuildNameOrderList, XU_BulkReadHdlElements, XU_ConflictDetectPreProcess, XU_ConflictDetectRedo, XU_ConflictResolve, XU_ConflictResolveReplace, XU_ConflictResolveToNewModel, XU_ConflictResolveToNewModels, XU_CreateModel, XU_CreateVirtualModel, XU_Delete, XU_DeleteElements, XU_DeleteExt, XU_DeleteLabelTextByHandle, XU_DeleteModelOnly, XU_DeleteModelsInLayerOnly, XU_DeleteMovedElements, XU_DeleteReferencedModelElements, XU_DeleteTopElements, XU_DeleteVirtualParentsMerge, XU_DirtyLayers, XU_DirtyModel, XU_DisableEnableNonClusteredIndexes, XU_Find, XU_FindByNames, XU_FindByParentHandle, XU_Fixup, XU_FixupInfo, XU_ForceWrite, XU_ForceWriteSecurityMetadata, XU_GetConflictingElements, XU_GetDirtyFlag, XU_GetGlobalFieldId, XU_GetLabelFileInfoByModuleAndLang uage, XU_GetLabelFilesInfo, XU_GetLabelTextByHandle, XU_GetLayerOfModel, XU_GetMetadataVersion, XU_GetModelElementCount, XU_GetNextAvailableAxId, XU_GetNextAvailableFieldId, XU_GetSchemaVersion, XU_InitSystemClasses, XU_Insert, XU_InsertByParentHandle, XU_InsertByParentName, XU_InsertLabelTextByHandle, XU_IsAxIdAvailable, XU_IsAxIdUsed, XU_LayerExists, XU_Layers, XU_ListModels, XU_LoadBatchByKey, XU_LoadConceptByNameCP, XU_LoadConceptByNameCPS, XU_MergeAssignAxIds, XU_MergeAssignAxIdsPerType, XU_MergeClassic, XU_ModelExistsById, XU_ModelExistsByName, XU_MODELSECPOLRUNTIMEEXSele ct, XU_ModelSecurityCommonSelect, XU_ModelSecurityPermissionSelect, XU_ModelSecurityPolicyConstraintSelec t, XU_ModelSecurityPolicySelect, XU_ModelSecurityPolicyTableSelect, XU_ModelSecurityRoleSelect, XU_ModelSecuritySubRoleSelect, XU_ModelSelect, XU_MoveModelToModel, XU_OutOfModelParentsExists, XU_PrepareConflictResolve, XU_PrepareModelSelect, XU_ReadHeader, XU_ReadHeaderExt, XU_ReadHeaderExtByNames, XU_ReadHeaderExtByParentHandle, XU_ReadLayerHeader, XU_Reindex, XU_SecurityInvalidateCache, XU_SecurityInvalidateCacheForRole, XU_SecurityInvalidateCacheForSecurabl e, XU_SecurityInvalidateCacheForSecurabl eGroup, XU_SecurityLoadRoles, XU_SecurityQuerySchemaVersion, XU_SelectLabelsFromModel, XU_SetDirtyFlag, XU_SetGlobalFieldId, XU_Shrink, XU_TransferObjectsToSchema, XU_Update, XU_UpdateHandlesForSecurityMergeMe tadata, XU_UpdateHandlesForSecurityMetadata, XU_UpdateLabelFileTimeStampByHandl e, XU_UpdateModelManifest, XU_ValidateConfigKeyAndLicenseCode Integrity, XU_ViewModel, XU_WriteLayerHeader 5.

Blog Post: Install a Client
Use this procedure to install a Microsoft Dynamics AX client using the Setup wizard. If you are installing other Microsoft Dynamics AX components at the same time, the installation pages will vary based on the components that you are installing. 1. Start Microsoft Dynamics AX Setup. Under Install , select Microsoft Dynamics AX Client . 2. Step through the initial wizard pages. 3. If the Setup Support files have not yet been installed on this computer, the Select a file location page is displayed. Provide a file location or accept the default location and then click Next . On the Ready to install page, click Install . 4. On the Select installation type page, click Custom installation , and then click Next . 5. On the Select components page, select Client . and then click Next . 6. On the Prerequisite Validation page, resolve any errors. When all errors are resolved, click Next . 7. On the Select client preferences page, specify the initial settings for the client. Select a display language, select a workspace type, and specify whether Setup should create a desktop shortcut. Click Next . 8. On the Client configuration options page, specify whether the client will use individual configuration settings or a shared configuration file. 9. If this client should use a shared configuration file, enter the network location for the shared file. If you choose this option, client configuration settings will not be stored locally, and the Microsoft Dynamics AX Configuration utility will not be installed on the client computer. If a configuration file does not exist at the network location that you specify, a new configuration file will be created. NOTE : A configuration file includes the location of the client application. If the Microsoft Dynamics AX client location differs between the computer generating the configuration file and the computer using the configuration file, the client using the file will not start. It is recommended that you create multiple configuration files if the client is installed in different locations on different computers. For example, the default location of the Microsoft Dynamics AX client application differs between 32-bit and 64-bit operating systems. On a 64- bit system, the default path is \Program files (x86)\Microsoft Dynamics AX. On a 32-bit system, the default path is \Program Files\Microsoft Dynamics AX. If you have clients on both operating systems, it is recommended that you create a configuration file for each version of the operating system, and then specify the appropriate file when installing clients. For more information about using a shared configuration file, refer to the "Procedure: Deploy Multiple Clients". 10. Click Next . 11. On the Connect to an AOS instance page, enter the name of the computer running the AOS instance to connect to. You can optionally specify the AOS instance name, the TCP/IP port number, and the services WSDL port. If you do not know the name of the Application Object Server or the port information, contact the Microsoft Dynamics AX administrator. Click Next . 12. On the Prerequisite validation results page, resolve any errors. 13. When there are no errors, click Next . 14. On the Ready to install page, click Install . Regards, Hossein Karimi

Forum Post: RE: Breakdown realized and unrealized transactions
Hello Thu, If you use only a single account for your FX gains/losses then things become difficult to separate. What you can get out - based on my example - is the following: 1. You can identify the total FX effect of 100 in my example on your account 2. You can identify the previously posted unrealized FX effect by applying filters on the transactions recorded on your single FX account 3. You could also get the reversal effect of the unrealized FX gain / loss but would have to make calculations - for example - in MR to get this. Theses are all, however, only second best workarounds. If your management is highly interested in unrealized and realized exchange rate gain/loss effects, you should think about changing your accounting setup and use separate accounts for realized / unrealized FX gains/losses. Best regards, Ludwig
