Enterprise Portal Improvements Installation and Deployment

The following improvements simplify the tasks of installing and deploying
Enterprise Portal and role centers:

• No compilation necessary: In earlier versions of Microsoft
Dynamics AX, you could not install Enterprise Portal on a server
with an incomplete initialization checklist. The installation failed
because the Enterprise Portal X++ classes were not previously
compiled on the server. You no longer have to compile these classes
to install and deploy Enterprise Portal.

• AXUpdatePortal utility: This feature improves deployment and
administration tasks. Additionally, with this utility you can deploy
Enterprise Portal on remote servers, create sites, and deploy changes
to existing sites.

• Enhanced AOT support for 32-bit clients: In earlier versions of
Microsoft Dynamics AX, administrators could not deploy changes to
Enterprise Portal from the Application Object Tree (AOT) on a 32-
bit client to a 64-bit Windows Server. In Microsoft Dynamics AX
2012, administrators can deploy changes from 32-bit clients to 64-bit
clients by clicking a button.
