AX 2012 upgrade - Connect to source database failure

During database upgrade checklist I was failed to connect with source database. I followed the suggested steps from upgrade guide as pasted below but these weren't enough in my case for successful connection. Configure matching user permissions Windows integrated security is used to connect to the source database from the target system. If the administrative user who is performing the upgrade on the target system does not have access to the source system database, the source system will reject the database connection. Open Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio on the source system and perform the following steps: 1.      Grant Microsoft Dynamics AX database access to a domain user with administrative privileges on the target Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 system. 2.      Add the user to the   db_owner   and   public   roles. SOLUTION:  Make sure you have assigned sysadmin role to the AOS ...

AX 2009 client static void lookupInterCompanyItemId(FormStringControl   lookupCtrl, DataAreaId _dataAreaId = "") {     SysTableLookup          sysTableLookup = SysTableLookup::newParameters(tablenum(InventTable), lookupCtrl);     Query                   query = new Query();     QueryBuildDataSource    qbds = query.addDataSource(tablenum(InventTable));     ;     sysTableLookup.addLookupfield(fieldnum(InventTable, ItemId));     sysTableLookup.addLookupfield(fieldnum(InventTable, ItemName));   ...

InventTrans table data model changes in AX 2012 vs AX 2009

The purpose of this post is to give an overview about the changes been made in the Dynamics AX 2012 data model related to inventory transactions. For more details; how to implement code changes for inventTrans table the best resource is this white paper  Implementing InventTrans refactoring for Microsoft Dynamics AX Applications AX2012 Before AX2012, the only table used for recording all the inventory transactions was  InventTrans .  In AX2009, a lot of data in InventTrans is either redundant or fields are used to represent a specific type of transaction like sales, purchase, transfer etc. In AX2012, the base is still the same i.e. every inventory still gets recorded in the  InventTrans  but the only difference is that the table has been more normalized now. A new table has been added called  InventTransOrigin  which is actually now holding the relationship between the originating tables (transaction tables) and InventTrans . The InventT...
