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 service account from SQL management studio under this path SQLSERVERINSTANCE\Security\Logins\<AOSService Account>. Right click on AOSService account and choose Server Roles from left hand side panel and assign sysadmin role listed on right hand side.

Scenario: There are times when you want to delete an entity from target entity list and when you do so, you face an error message which does not tell you where exactly the entity has been used.  "Entity cannot be deleted while dependent Entities for the processing group exist. Delete dependent Entities for a processing group and try again. " Solution: Browse the environment by appending this part  /?mi=SysTableBrowser&TableName=DMFDefinitionGroupEntity&cmp=USMF   at the end.  For example; if the environment URL is  https://daxture.sandbox.operations.dynamics.com then the complete URL will be https://daxture.sandbox.operations.dynamics.com/?mi=SysTableBrowser&TableName=DMFDefinitionGroupEntity&cmp=USMF Filter for Entity and it will give you the DefinitionGroup where the entity has been added or used in data management import/export projects.
