slide 1: Use the DMT to migrate from Dynamics AX 2009 to Dynamics 365 for
Finance and Operations
You Can utilize the Microsoft Dynamics AX 2009 Data migration tool DMT to
migrate Your information from AX 2009 to Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Finance
and Operations. Using the DMT is the only supported upgrade path from AX 2009
into Finance and Operations. The DMT helps you locate and fill gaps between the
table schemas of AX 2009 and Finance and Operations in addition to helping you
move your data.
Archictecture
The following example describes the architecture of the DMT and how data in the
source system AX 2009 is processed and moved into the target system Finance
and Operations.
Data migration process
The following illustration shows the overall process of collecting And preparing
the data in your AX 2009 instance and then importing this information into your
Finance and Operations environment.
slide 2: Before you can use the DMT to export data from the source environment AX
2009 you must complete the following pre-processing tasks:
· Mapping the table fields between the source and target environments
· Implementing traffic to this source data
· Establishing default values to the origin data
· Applying query filters
Because There can be numerous legal issues in the source program you must
select the legal entities that contain the data to migrate. For the selected legal
entities you can review the source tables and their row counts. You can also view
any virtual companies. Eventually they can analyze virtual companies that legal
entities are attached to the related tables.
slide 3: Successful Migration of exported data requires that a resource table be redirected
to an equivalent target data thing. You prepare the mapping using a Microsoft
Excel mapping file which allows for automatic mapping of the origin and target
areas of each table. The mapping document also has the data from the Finance and
Operations schema of the information entities and the default data that is required
in some tables.
Before You can migrate information from AX 2009 into Finance and Operations
you must complete these tasks to satisfy the migration requirements:
· Select target measurements that correspond to the source dimensions that are
populated based on the chosen legal entities.
· Review the stock dimensions which are included together with the chosen legal
entities.
· Select the chart of accounts for each legal entity or merge several legal entities to
one chart of accounts.
· Complete the basic ledger installation.
· Employ data conversions To the source data based on the extended data type
EDT of this area.
