    Добрый день!Вопрос по поводу объекта «Номенклатуры». При попытке использовать его в таком виде, какой он есть, в InventTable создается запись со значением Product=0. В случае добавления класса, который подставляет в поле Product ссылку на существующую запись в таблице EcoResProduct, при выполнении doInsert() выдается ошибка, что такая запись в InventTable уже существует. Как быть?Сергей

    We are going to update the video next week. Regarding the error, you completely uninstalled the previous version and installed new version. Also, is the Data import/export framework service running?

    Hi Mittal,During the validation step of the installation, I receive a prerequisite validation error :"Gacutil utility for registering .Net 3.5 assembly".On newsgroups i found many workarounds like coying gacutil.exe and gacutil.exe.config files into  "C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft SDKsWindowsv7.0AbinNETFX 4.0 Tools" and others folders.But I stil not able to pass the validation step.My Windows operating System is in French,  ... may be an explanation about the failure of the workarounds in my case.Anay idea ?Guillaume

    Hi IT Programmer"create a entity based out of multiple tables."Do you mean multiple target tables part of single entity - if so , yes you can do that.Do you mean multiple staging tables part of single entity - if so, no. However you could try to use composite entity.

    Hi Mudit,you're right, the workaround is to change the decimal regional setting.Greets,Guillaume

    Hi Mudit,I played with the previous beta version of DMF and I was wondering if the new version has the same limitations when it comes to creating custom entities and the need for the developper to actually code the table verifications, inserts and then return the rec ids for referenced data?Thanks,Maxime

    We are also getting this error  - "Assembly containing type brMicrosoft.Dynamics.AX.DMF.DriverHelper.DMFOdbcDriver is not referenced." when attempting to browse to the file in Setup --> Source Data formats -->  selecting DSN name and browsing to the DSN file.  In addition we get the error Object "CLRObject" could  not be created.  This is using the newest Data Import Export tool referenced above.

    Hi Mittal,Thanks a lot for your help.Any idea for importing Chinese?Which code page should be chosen? I have ticked Unicode and tried UTF8 & most Chinese but still failed. System keep prompting the file has problem or fail the validation.E.g. The byte sequence 0xff at position 1. in file C:UsersDesktopPurchaseType.dat is not valid in codepage 950. The Unicode substitution character U+FFFD was substituted.Meanwhile, we have added several fields at InventTable, but when I find in the mapping, I can't find them. Any steps I missed?Thanks in advance~~~

    Hi Mudit,do you also plan to upgrade the DMF to CU6?As far as I can see, between R2 and R2 CU6 only 3 AOT code objects need to be changed (Macro DataContainerTypes, Menu MainMenu and Security Process Cycle SysServerIT).Are there any changes required to the Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 Data Migration Framework Service, or to the referenced DMF DLLs?best regards,Martin

    Kyle2011 - did you mark Unicode option in source format?Graemy - new entities if created correctly would automatically generate mapping,etc. So nothing should be needed. But if you do manual mapping , you can export dmf* tables.using dat/def.martin - you can use it against cu6 by resolving conflicts against those 2-3 objects.We are planning for cu7 for next release, there is lot of new features as well..

    HelloDuring PurchOrderHeader or SalesOrderHeader target process we get the error message "The record already exists.". But the target table is empty, the log offers no further information's and the validation of all staging entities are successful.Sometimes it was possible to create a new target entity with the same entity. But in this case we can not find a solution. Does anybody have an idea what's could be happen?regards, Markus

    Hi Mudit! If you have set up custom entities in one environment, and want to move them to another environment, is there any documentation/reference for what metadata should be moved? I'm thinking entity table, mappings, etc. Thanks!

    I was looking at the AX 2012 Upgrade Guide.  On page 40, it says -If you have installed any version of the Data Import/Export Framework from InformationSource, you must fully uninstall it before upgrading. This includes removing all binary files by using Add/Remove Programs, and then uninstalling any model that begins with DMF from the FPK layer. For more information see How to: Remove (Uninstall) a Model (msdn.microsoft.com/.../6552673a-a386-4349-9438-64c0de94ca7d(AX.60).aspx).You do not need to remove installations of the Data Import/Export Framework that were installed as part of cumulative update 7 for AX 2012 R2.I am going to do an in-place upgrade from AX 2012 R2 (no CUs)...so according to the above documentation, I am going to remove DIEF per above.  Questions:So, after I've upgraded to AX 2012 R3, I will need to re-install DIEF (the version from CU7)...where can I download this newer version from?  I am assuming you will need to do a new install of DIEF after R3 so, no upgrade for DIEF?

    Hi VP, I was doing an in-place upgrade (AX 2012 RTM to AX 2012 R3).  Since my customer had DIEF from a version prior to AX 2012 R3 Cu7, I had to remove that DIEF model. (followed the instructions in the upgrade guide)  Once I got the customer upgraded to AX 2012 R3, I then installed DIEF from the R3 installer.  Please see here for installation details - technet.microsoft.com/.../dn720760.aspx
