AX 2012 Steps to use Data Transfer Tool

The following steps are used to transfer data from one transaction db to other. Generally it would be used when we need Production data in our Dev/Test environment.

Note: Data Transfer Tool should be installed


Login to SQL server
Restore Transaction & Model databases backup [Source]
•      Open Command prompt as administrator and Navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 Test Data Transfer Tool (Beta) folder [In the server DTT installed]
Run following command to export data
        DP.exe EXPORT C:\[FolderName] [RESTOREDDBNAME] [SQLSERVER]
        [Data will be extracted as files in the mentioned folder]
Stop AOS of the destination instance
DP.exe IMPORT C:\[FolderName] [DESTINATIONDBNAME] [SQLSERVER]
Start AOS


Note: You need to reset your SID after restored if two instances are running in different active domain directory.
