After you set up the server that runs the Version Control System (VCS), you must add models that contain elements from your master copy of Microsoft Dynamics AX to the VCS server.

Create a Local Repository Folder

Create a repository folder on your computer. When you add the Application Object Tree (AOT) elements to the server, a copy of each object is also added to your repository folder.

  1. Open Windows Explorer.

  2. Create a new folder to use as your local repository folder, such as C:\AX_dev\Root.

Note

You must specify your local repository folder in the Version control parameters form. For more information, see How to: Set Up Local Version Control Parameters (Developer)

Add Elements to the Repository

  1. Click Version control > Add model to version control.

  2. In Check-in description, describe the check-in.

  3. In Model ID, select the model you want to add to the version control system.

  4. In Model repository folder, specify the location of the model folder in your local repository. For example, C:\AX_dev\Root\PrimaryAXApplication\ModelA.

  5. Click OK.

    Note

    This process can take a while, depending on the computer and network speed.
