You can connect a client to a different Application Object Server (AOS) instance from the Microsoft Dynamics AX Configuration Utility.

Connect to a different AOS instance

  1. Open the Configuration Utility ( Start> Control Panel> Administrative Tools> Microsoft Dynamics AX Configuration Utility).

  2. Verify that the currently open configuration target and configuration are the ones you want to modify.

  3. On the Connectiontab, in the Application Object Server instancelist, choose the AOS instance to connect to, and then click the uparrow until it is first in the list.

    Note Note

    Microsoft Dynamics AX connects to the first AOS instance in the list unless it is unavailable, then it connects to the next instance in the list.

  4. Click OK.

Add an instance to the list of available AOS instances

  1. On the Connectiontab, click Add.

  2. In the Application Object Serverbox, type the name of the computer running the AOS instance you want to connect to.

  3. Optional. In the Instance namebox, type the name of the AOS instance.

  4. In the TCP/IP portbox, type the TCP/IP port that the AOS instance is running on, and then click OK.
