In addition, the tool also allows you to record business process flows and identify the entry points used.
5.   Code Upgrade Service Tool (Beta): The Code Upgrade Service Tool (Beta) is designed to help Microsoft Dynamics AX developers upgrade their X++ code to Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012. The service analyzes X++ code patterns and automatically fixes some patterns, provides suggestions on how to fix other patterns, categorizes upgrade tasks, and enables developers to add their own patterns to be analyzed.
6.   Security Upgrade Advisor Tool (Beta): The Security Upgrade Advisor Tool (Beta) is intended to help simplify the process of upgrading security settings from an earlier version of Microsoft Dynamics AX to Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012. It compares entry point and permissions between systems and generates a list of matching privileges that can be used a particular role. The role-to-privilege mapping is based on the user group-to-access right mapping in earlier versions of Microsoft Dynamics AX systems. The tool is designed as an aid for upgrading security settings and is not one click solution. Developers are advised to review each suggestion carefully before making any changes.
7.   Intelligent Data Management Framework Tool: The Intelligent Data Management Framework Tool is designed to help system administrators optimize the performance of Microsoft AX installations. The Intelligent Data Management Framework assesses the health of the Microsoft Dynamics AX applications, analyses current usage patterns, and helps reduce database size.
