A configuration is a group of startup and tracing settings for Microsoft Dynamics AX. Configurations are stored in the registry by default, but can also be stored as files. You can manage configurations for your local Microsoft Dynamics AX client or for the system-wide .NET Business Connector.

You may want to create new configurations to:

  • Tune or troubleshoot Microsoft Dynamics AX. Change the Application Object Server (AOS) that a client connects to, or set tracing options.

  • Move from a development environment to a production environment. Set a startup message and startup company, change the log directory, change the Microsoft Dynamics AX Application Object Server (AOS) that a client points to, encrypt client/server communication, and whether a system allows debugging.

  • Save a configuration file for use in a broad deployment of clients.
