As we all know, ax system is divided into three layers:Client,application Server,Database server.
We have added additional application Server for the following two reasons:
- Use multiple servers to share different roles (such as batch tasks, reports, services).
- Increase the resilience of your infrastructure.
The clustered servers in AX are not based on Windows servers, but are implemented by their own technology. It improves performance, but does not improve availability. When a server is hung up, the client loses connectivity and any tasks being processed are rolled back. Once the client is restarted, it is connected to another server in the cluster.
Below, follow the Reinhard and install the additional AOS.
1. Install additional application servers
1.1. Set Permissions First
- On the new application server (msdynax_applicationserver), add your Domainaccount (Msdynax\reinhard) to the local Administrators group.
- Add your Domainaccount (Msdynax\reinhard) as an administrator for MSSQL .
This will set the permissions.
1.2. Get Database Information
Enter System administration>inquiries>database>database information.
Here we can get the database name(microsoftdynamicsax) and database server name of database server (msdynax_databaseserver).
1.3. Installing the AOS
Run the AX Setup program, select application Object Server (AOS), and then click Next.
Enter the database name(microsoftdynamicsax) and database Server namethat you just acquired (Msdynax_ Databaseserver), next.
Enter the name and port of the AOS instance, and leave the default, next.
Set up an AOS run account. Here, I use Domainaccount:Msdynax\reinhard, which has the permissions assigned earlier. Next, start the installation.
After the installation is complete, the service will run automatically and will take several minutes.
1.4. Configure Client Login Parameters
Open Control Panel > Administrative Tools >microsoft Dynamics AX system Configuration.
Select Originalin the configuration, click Manage Button, select Create configuration.
In the pop-up window, enter the Configuration name:msdynax_applicationserver, and click OK.
Click Edit, enter the name of the instance we just created, and the server name .
Click OK, save the configuration, and exit the Configuration tool. This is set up.
Open the client, go to System administration>common>user>onlineusers, and view the online users.
We can find that in the AOS Instance Name , there is a " email protected]_applicationserver ". The new application server is now ready to use.
