AX2012 R3安装升级包CU8后进入系统，系统会提示打开软件升级清单“Software update checklist”，清单列出了升级要做的一系列动作。
- 在进行到编译应用时“Compile application”出现很多错误：

查看第一个错误\Classes\PayrollCalculatePayStatementBenefits\classDeclaration，进到代码发现“Symmetry.TaxEngine.BenefitInfo benefitInfo401_403;”一行Symmetry.TaxEngine.BenefitInfo没有定义，应该是某个.NET应用没有正确注册。在AX社区https://community.dynamics.com/ax/f/33/t/126055.aspx查到是因为ste-net.dll没有成功引用，在目录C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Dynamics AX\60\Client\Bin找到ste-net.dll，重新添加到AOT/References下。
重新编译，错误只剩下“The table WHSWorkLineCycleCount does not contain the method WHSWorkTable”。也是在AX社区找到答案，https://community.dynamics.com/ax/f/33/t/137853.aspx，表WHSWorkLineCycleCount 和表WHSWorkTable的关系CreateNavigationPropertyMethods 没有设置为YES，实际上系统中这个relation根本就没有CreateNavigationPropertyMethods属性，解决办法是需要应用hotfix KB3001197（https://mbs2.microsoft.com/Knowledgebase/kbdisplay.aspx?WTNTZSMNWUKNTMMYNLOWUUPRYQYWXNMQVMLWYXRMMRSVYSUZ）。
再次重新编译，又出现错误“Stack trace: An empty SQL statement descriptor list has been encountered.”，按照微软TechNet(http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj161010.aspx)的说法是一些Configuration key被关闭导致的，在Configuration key配置中启用所有的Key，同步数据库表，重新编译application成功。
- 按照升级清单执行到Compile into .NET Framework CIL时出现错误“The CIL generator found errors and could not save the new assembly”，停止AOS服务，删除目录C:\Program Files\Microsoft Dynamics AX\60\Server\MicrosoftDynamicsAX\bin\XppIL下的所有文件，重新启动AOS，再做一次full CIL编译成功。
- 进行到“Synchronize database”时出现错误“Failed to create a session; confirm that the user has the proper privileges to log on to Microsoft Dynamics”，我的系统中数据是从R3的demo data导入的，当前的admin用户在demo分区的ps和ext分区中部存在记录，参照“http://domhk.blogspot.com/2014/10/ax2012-r3-demo-data-failed-to-create.html”解决，具体是新导入2个用户，然后直接在数据库中更新这2个用户记录为admin用户(ID,Name,SID,NetWorkAliae,Partition)在ps和ext中的记录()。
AX2012 R3 Demo data: Failed to create a session; confirm that the user has the proper privileges to log on to Microsoft Dynamics.
When setting up a machine with the demo data given by Microsoft, you may encounter this error when synchronizing database.
The cause of this issue is that in the demo data there are three partitions, and there is no “admin” USERINFO records for “ps” and “ext” partitions. Since there is no existing USERINFO records for “ps” and “ext” partitions, I created two dummy user (just give them a userId and save. Don’t enable them). Then go to SSMS and run:
|
1
2
3
|
UPDATE USERINFOSET ID = 'Admin', Name = '[name]', Enable = 1, SID = '[sid]',NETWORKDOMAIN = '[domain]', NETWORKALIAS = '[alias]',PARTITION = [recid for 'ps' partition record]WHERE ID = 'temp1' |
Repeat the above for ‘ext’ partition. Then the problem is solved.
EDIT: If you plan to use the ‘ps’ and ‘ext’ partitions, you’ll also want to take care of security role assignments in SECURITYUSERROLE table.
成功安装CU8后AX 2012 R3的kernel version为6.3.164.3198，application version为6.3.1000.473。

[AX 2012 R3] Why is my Kernel build version not changing after installing CU-8 or the latest binary hotfix?
Scenario:
You have downloaded the CU-8 hotfix from partnersource/customersource and/or are using the LCS Update installer to download and install CU-8 on your AX 2012 R3 RTM.
You have completed the install and been through the software update checklist.
Later you run AX client and click on Help > About, and notice that the Kernel build version has not been upgraded to 6.3.1000.309, but the Application build version has to 6.3.1000.437.
Note: you will also get the similar issues if you instead downloaded the very latest Kernel build 6.3.1000.x and were trying to install this on a system that has Kernel build 6.3.164.x
Why?
There is a change in the pre-requirements and the update process is halted due to that.
For example, if you have an older version of the Report Viewer 2012 installed and/or AX Visual Studio Tool (for Visual studio 2010) installed on the system then axupdate will not allow you to update the AOS, Client, Components and Setup Support Files components. Also if you have Retail binary components installed, they will fail to upgrade because the AOS components fail to be updated.
Resolution:
To successfully upgrade the kernel you need to upgrade to the latest Report Viewer 2012 and remove the AX Visual Studio Tools if they are installed. CU-8 or later binary now supports the new Visual Studio 2013 Dev Tools instead.
