Administration

In Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012, administration and initial setup are
significantly simplified. Some of the major advances include:

• Uses standard web service concepts.

• Services groups with the AutoDeploy property on work out of the
box without any need for administrator setup or configuration.

• Top level concepts are reduced from 17 to 4.

o Inbound ports.

o Outbound ports.

o Value substitution maps.

o Web sites.

• User interface is redesigned using the "progressive disclosure" principal.

o Administrators are only provided options as they need them. For example: Service contract customizations are available when configuring enhanced inbound ports, but not when configuring
basic inbound ports.

• Partial import/export to move integration project configurations across environments.

o Use of a new global feature to move data setup between environments.
