You run the delta preprocessing scripts after you complete the Global address book country/region upgrade task on the Microsoft Dynamics AX source system. The delta preprocessing scripts check for changes to the production data that have occurred since you started running the live preprocessing scripts. Then, like the live preprocessing scripts, the delta scripts process the updated data into the shadow and dictionary tables.

Like the live preprocessing scripts, the delta preprocessing scripts run while your Microsoft Dynamics AX source system is live and being used for production. To optimize performance, you can pause some or all of the delta scripts by using the Manage running tasks form.

Note

Some delta preprocessing scripts cannot be paused. These scripts appear in the grid with a Task state that says The task does not support pausing.

You can run the delta preprocessing scripts multiple times until you are ready to enter single-user mode. To minimize downtime, make sure to run the delta preprocessing scripts just before entering single-user mode.

  1. In the Preprocessing upgrade checklist, click Run delta preprocessing scripts.
