The main purpose of this documentation is to help the user migrate from the field developed Microsoft Dynamics AX Snap pack to the productized version of the Microsoft Dynamics AX Snap Pack. The list below provides the information on each item with reference to the Field and the productized version. For more information, refer our product documentation site. 

Migration to the Productized Snap Packs

Before the migration begins, it is important to identify and note if the Snap consists of the same FQID as before or a different version (your Technical Account Manager would assist the process). 

FQID for a Snap

FQID consists of the Snap class ID and the class version and can be located on the Info section of the Snap. Typically, a migration for a Snap will go from "<class_id>_<class_version>" to "<class_id>_<class_version + 1>". The Snap is updated with its version to match the incremented class version. 

Also, the steps for the process of migration depends on whether or not the Snap gets the same FQID as that of the Field Snap.

Locating the FQID for a Snap:

Go to the Info tab on the Snap to locate the Class FQID. In the following screen shots, note the FQIDs are same for the Field and the productized Snap respectively, com-snaplogic-snaps-msdynamicsax-create_1, meaning the <class_id>_<class_version> are the same. The productized Snaps with different FQIDs would have an incremented version number (<class_id>_<class_version + 1>).

The following images display the FQIDs (highlighted) being the same for the AX Create Snap on the Field and the productized versions respectively. Note 'A51' and 'snapsrc890'  are the Snap Pack versions that change with every build. 

The respective steps are enumerated below:

 Steps to migrate from the Field to the productized versions with a different FQID

1. Subscribe to the productized Snap Pack 
   1. As an org admin, go to the Manager→Organizations→Select the desired productized Snap Pack (your Technical Account Manager will initiate the process and inform when enabled)
2. The productized Snap Pack is displayed on the Snap catalog once the application is refreshed
3. As an org admin, go to the Manager→Snap Statistics→Note the total number of pipelines belonging to the Field Snap Pack (For example, 18 pipelines)
4. Get the list of pipelines to update from all the projects
5. Create the new accounts in the pipelines or from the Manager interface
6. Update all the existing pipelines that have a Field Snap with the respective productized Snap 
   1. Drag the productized Snap from the catalog, configure the Accounts/properties, replace the Field Snap with it and validate the pipeline
   2. Repeat the process for all the impacted pipelines
7. Go to the Snap Statistics and make a note the total number of pipelines on the Field and the Productized Snap Packs
8. The Productized Snap Pack should display the total number of pipelines as that of its Field Snap Pack (i,e. 18 pipelines) 
9. The Field Snap Pack must display  '0 pipelines'  and that confirms the complete migration
10. Delete the Field Snap Pack from the Manager interface. In order to delete:
    1. Find the project in which the Field Snap Pack is located  
    2. Delete the Field Snap Pack and then delete the old accounts 

Microsoft Dynamics AX Account 

The productized On-premises version of Dynamics AX Snap Pack consists of account that support the On-Premises: 

• • Dynamics AX NTLM account

UI changes on the Productized version

• There is only one account currently on the productized version and be provided with the respective settings.
• The dynamic accounts for the Dynamics AX Snap Pack are available for the productized version, however, the values are passed using the pipeline parameters. 

Microsoft Dynamics AX NTLM account

• The * mark in the property represents as mandatory Fields
• Pass the values dynamically using the pipeline parameters for the Dynamic Account (view the screenshots in the above Account section)
