Importing a layer model into the baseline model store

To import a layer model into the baseline model store

  1. On the source system, export all models for the current layer by using the axutil export command-line utility. For example, to export the USR model, type the following command:

    AxUtil export /model:"USR Model" /file:"UsrModel.axmodel"

    For more information about the AxUtil export utility, see the help for AxUtil. Type AxUtil /?.

  2. On the target system, import all models from the previous step into the baseline model store by using the AxUtil import command-line utility. For example, to import the model from the previous step into the MicrosoftDynamicsAXBaseline model store, type the following command:

    AxUtil import /file:"UsrModel.axmodel" /db:MicrosoftDynamicsAXBaseline

    For more information about the AxUtil import utility, see the help for AxUtil. Type AxUtil /?.

  3. After you have imported all models for the current layer, continue with the next steps in the Code upgrade checklist. Then return to this step when you are ready to import the models for the next highest layer.

    Important

    You must first import the models that Microsoft owns. You can then import the remaining models one at a time, starting with the lowest layer.
