Имейте в виду что
If you have previously installed the Data Import/Export Framework from InformationSource, you must fully uninstall it before installing again with cumulative update 7 for Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R2. This includes removing all binary files by using Add/Remove Programs, and the uninstalling Data Import/Export Framework model

Иначе при установке Database компонент инсталлятор говорит что вы где-то что-то нехорошее сделали с перекрытыми конфигурационными ключами, но что где и с какими - не говорит. Гадина, пол-выходного угробил

With the recent release of Cumulative Update 7 for Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R2, the case management functionality of Microsoft Dynamics AX has been enhanced for documenting and releasing product changes to production.

Many manufacturing companies will welcome this simple built in possibility of creating product change cases to document component substitutions in bills of materials or formulas, or changes in the production route, and of being able to visualize the impact of such component changes.

The new product change functionality provides enhanced support for approval and activation of the changes to bills of materials, formulas and routes that are associated with a product change case, which reduces the effort needed for releasing product changes to planning and production. This new capability also offers a new opportunity to integrate changes from an external PLM solution into Microsoft Dynamics AX with the context of the PLM change order with enhanced support for validation, approval and activation in production.

The diagram below illustrates the overall product change process, and highlights those elements (with black outline) that are supported by the new product change features in Cumulative Update 7 for Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R2.



Meet me at Convergence EMEA 2013 at the Manufacturing booth if you would like to see the feature in action.

We will soon share more details about this new functionality in this blog.
