Microsoft Corp. has launched a collection of online services for Microsoft Dynamics ERP customers who want to move certain applications like expense report processing into the cloud while keeping their ERP (enterprise resource planning) systems on-premise.

Microsoft said it can best serve its customers by offering a flexible deployment model so they can implement their ERP systems in the environments that are best for them. Microsoft said currently over 150 partners worldwide offer customers this hybrid option.

The online services that can be attached to its Microsoft Dynamics ERP platform including a new Azure-based service called Sites, new Commerce Services, and an expansion of…

I was recently installing 6.0 build and got this error during the creating database stage of the installation.

After some initial research, found that I missed Full Text Search Engine installation component while installing SQL Server 2008. Re-ran the Setup wizard for SQL Server 2008 and installed Full Text Search component by selecting add features to an existing installation wizard.

This helped solving the issue

A few days ago, we were brainstorming on the reporting architecture for a new implementation.

We had the following options on the table:

•  Ax Security (Configuration key, Security key etc.) set at table levels can be leveraged 
•  No bypass of Business Logic as the communication is through AOS
•  Leverage data methods in Reports  

Cons:

• Tight integration of Reporting IDE with AOT
• AX Resource need to spend time learning SSRS
• Additional components such as EP and Role Centers needs to be configured

• Ax team and SSRS team can simultaneously work on Data and Report design resp
• Additional component such as EP does not have to be installed 
• It provides an option of writing logic inside Ax or in SQL store procedure
• Stored Procedures provide faster access to data
• Reports can be loosely coupled and extendable say tomorrow if you want to extract data from another data source say for that matter SAP, you need to just write one more SP inorder to do that

•         Internal AX Security is bypassed as SP directly access the data
•         In case of an upgrade, the metadata or the field names used in SP needs to be modified if they change    

So, our vote was for the second option as it’s loosely coupled and provides flexibility to have multiple datasources
