Heads Up on this important change
Background—on July 31, 2012, the latest update for MR 2012 was released. It’s called Management Reporter 2012 RU 2 (for rollup 2).
This is the very last release for the ‘regular’ AX 2012 data provider. This is the data provider that allows MR to talk live to the AX database. But it’s slow, very slow, due to architecture changes in the new AX.
So Microsoft is moving all AX 2012 customers to the data mart provider which is much faster.
So to boil it all down…if you’re using AX 2012 and you’re not using the datamart, you should make plans to switch.
Here is more information on using Management Reporter 2012 with AX 2012.
Here is more information straight from the horse’s mouth, the Dynamics CPM blog on Management Reporter.
Cheers! Jan
Hi Jan,
Thank you for the tutorials… they were worth every penny.
I have a problem with MR2012 Dynamics Ax 2012 Datamart.
It’s taking prox 50 minutes for GL entry to trickle down and show up in reports!
Any suggestions how I can improve this.
Thank You.
Hi Tim…you’re welcome, and LOL re worth every penny :)
Yeeks re 50 minutes! This is only a SWAG: rebuild the datamart. But you really need to talk to someone who installs this stuff. [Meaning, not me.] So try your partner, or if you’re a consultant, then I’d go straight to microsoft tech support and see what they recommend. If you feel like it, please post the answer back here so everyone gets to see. Crossing fingers. Jan
