Preprocessing upgrade checklist > Run live preprocessing scripts > Manage running tasks
Preprocessing upgrade checklist > Run delta preprocessing scripts > Manage running tasks
Use the Manage Running Tasks form to pause or resume preprocessing scripts that are running on the Microsoft Dynamics AX source system during the two live preprocessing tasks: Run live preprocessing scripts and Run delta preprocessing scripts.
Running these scripts might impact the performance of your live system and some scripts might run for several hours. During times of peak load for your enterprise, you can pause the live or delta preprocessing tasks to free resources for business operations in Microsoft Dynamics AX. During off hours, such as evenings or weekends, you can resume running the paused tasks. Pauses take effect at the next commit point after the pause command is issued.
Tip
By default, commit points happen after every 10,000 transactions. You can customize the commit frequency in SQL Server Management Studio by changing the value for the Iterationlimit column in the ReleaseUpdateConfiguration table. You must then restart the Application Object Server (AOS).
To pause all upgrade scripts, click Pause from the Upgrade live preprocessing or Upgrade delta preprocessing form. A mess is displayed, and you have the option to pause all running tasks. Click OK. The status of all Ready tasks will be changed to Waiting.
