Framework EDI Installation Guide 2.0

1. Open the Framework Systems EDI folder

   Navigate to the shared network location or local directory where the Framework Systems EDI package has been delivered and open the EDI folder to confirm its contents before proceeding.

   • Confirm the folder contains the AXDeployablePackage ZIP archive and the EDITransactions ZIP archive.
   • Do not move or rename any files before completing the installation.

2. Unzip the AXDeployablePackage archive

   Locate and extract the deployable package archive. The folder name follows this pattern, where the X placeholders represent the build date and timestamp:

   AXDeployablePackage_202XXXXX_XX_XX_XX.zip

   • Right-click the ZIP file and select Extract All, or use your preferred extraction tool.
   • Extract to the same directory so the contents remain easy to locate in step 3.
   • Verify that AXUpdateInstaller.exe is present in the extracted folder before continuing.

3. Run AXUpdateInstaller with the DevInstall parameter

   Open a Command Prompt as Administrator, navigate to the extracted package folder, and execute the installer using the DevInstall parameter:

   AXUpdateInstaller DevInstall

   The installer applies the deployable package to your local development environment. This process may take several minutes to complete.

   • Run the Command Prompt as Administrator; the installer requires elevated privileges.
   • Wait for the installer to finish and confirm a successful completion message before proceeding.
   • If the installer fails, review the log files generated in the package folder for details.

   For full documentation on installing deployable packages, see Install deployable packages from the command line on Microsoft Learn.

4. Unzip the EDI Transactions folder

   Return to the Framework Systems EDI folder and extract the EDI Transactions archive:

   EDITransactions.zip

   • Right-click the ZIP file and select Extract All.
   • After extraction, confirm the EDI Transactions folder and its contents are intact.

5. Copy the EDI Transactions folder to PackagesLocalDirectory

   Copy the extracted EDI Transactions folder to the AOS packages directory on the K: drive:

   K:\AOSService\PackagesLocalDirectory

   You can copy in Windows Explorer or with this command in an elevated Command Prompt, replacing <source> with the path where you extracted the archive in step 4:

   xcopy /E /I "<source>\EDI Transactions" "K:\AOSService\PackagesLocalDirectory\EDI Transactions"

   • Verify the folder appears under PackagesLocalDirectory before moving on to step 6.

6. Check in all objects in the required package folders

   Using Visual Studio or the Dynamics 365 source control integration, check in all modified and new objects from each of the following three package folders. All three must be checked in before the installation is considered complete.

   6a. Adviser package	K:\AOSService\PackagesLocalDirectory\Adviser
   6b. EDI package	K:\AOSService\PackagesLocalDirectory\EDI
   6c. EDI Transactions package	K:\AOSService\PackagesLocalDirectory\EDI Transactions\EDI Transactions

   • In Visual Studio, open the Application Explorer, right-click each folder, and select Add to Source Control if objects are not already tracked.
   • Select all pending changes and perform a Check In for each folder.
   • Add a meaningful check-in comment referencing this EDI package version.
   • Verify no errors appear in the Output window after each check-in before proceeding to the next folder.
