In Microsoft Dynamics AX 2009, a Reporting Project is used when users modify .moxl files, which are representations of report models in files.

Overview

Description

Reason for deprecation

In Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012, the development experience is being aligned with repository-centric development for Microsoft Dynamics AX. Therefore, all model data is stored in the repository and is directly modified on the repository.

Replaced by another feature

Yes. A new project that is known as a Model Project enables direct modification of any reporting data on the repository. Local .moxl files are not required.

For more information, see How to: Create a Repository.
