Hi Guys,
The general business scenario we will be moving database from Production servers to Sandbox, UAT, DEV servers and after every restore there are few steps we need to follow to make system up and running.
I would like to list out the steps needs to be followed to configure retail when copying or restoring database between environments in Dynamics, please find the same below.
1. Run the Environment retargeting tool from LCS.

I would like to list out the steps needs to be followed to configure retail when copying or restoring database between environments in Dynamics, please find the same below.
1. Run the Environment retargeting tool from LCS.
When you do any kind of copying between
environments in Dynamics there are some settings related to Retail which are
copied that are actually wrong for the destination environment.
To fix these you need to apply tool called Environment
retargeting tool and also its knowsn Retail
Reprovisioning tool.
This tool needs to be run every time we do
restore and all the environments. Irrespective if they use Retail components or
not.
a.
Please make sure that we have the latest version
of the tool.
b.
To check the same go to LCS – Asset Library. Go
to Software Deployable Packages – Import
and Select the latest Environment Reprovisioning tool.
c.
Please select the latest tool and click on Apply.
d.
Once its applied then it will get Queued and
start servicing, this operation will finish within 30 min (Please make sure to
use latest version of tool).
2. Once retargeting tool applied then you need to
run these five steps.
a.
Navigate
to the “Organization administration > Number sequences > Number
sequences” and click on “Generate”
b.
Open
the "Retail Parameters" form, and press the "Initialize"
link under the "General" tab. Answer "Yes" to the prompt.
This will provide any new Retail seed data.
c.
Open
the "Initialize Retail Scheduler" form, and run it with "delete
existing configuration" set to "yes".
d.
Restart
the "Microsoft Dynamics AX Batch Service" on all AOS VMs. This will
update any cached connection credentials that may be used when running a CDX
data sync. (done by DSE if PROD)
e.
Navigate
to the "Channel Database" form and run a CDX 9999 sync (full sync).
This should succeed if everything is properly configured for retail.
And also please have a look at blog to understand about Datawriting batch job
Good Yaar (Y)
