Export script

Export the data definition language (DDL) statements that will be executed during the synchronization process to a script. To help speed processing, for example, to run scripts in parallel, you can run exported DDL scripts from outside Microsoft Dynamics AX. However, when you run scripts in parallel from outside Microsoft Dynamics AX, you may encounter dependency issues and errors. Microsoft cannot assume responsibility for issues encountered if you decide to run DDL scripts outside the client. We strongly recommend that if you are going to run an exported script that you first create a backup of the database.

Continue the synchronization process.

Cancel

Cancel the synchronization process.
