Connecting Visual Studio with a different Config File - Visual Studio 2010 and Dynamics AX 2012

Visual studio must be installed on that machine. Live/Test configuration file must be saved on that machine.

Steps:

1. Launch cmd
2. Navigate to the dir where VS is installed. In my case it is : Chdir  C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio     9.0\Common7\IDE\
3.  Enter the command: devenv.exe /AxConfig "enter here the live/test client config path"
    eg. devenv.exe /AxConfig "C:\AX CONFIG\Live cus.axc"

Go to View in Visual studio, click Application explorer. This would show the entire Test/Live AOT. You can then edit any report you would like.

 Screen shot as follows of the command prompt

The virtual path maps to another application, which is not allowed

Image
During the development we came across this issue, which wasted a lot of our precious time. So I decided to share its solution with everyone. We have Project and Sub-Project Structure i.e. we have a root project and several sub-projects. The ROOT Project is entitled as TEMS8 and all other subprojects have been configured as per the image below. (Click on the image for large size) Now after setting up everything on a new Machine, we came across the Error as The virtual path maps to another application, which is not allowed Finally after investigation, we figured out that we have created multiple virtual directories which mainly causes the issue. For instance, we have another virtual directory created for DATADEF which is inside the virtual directory of TEMS8. So this was the main issue. The resolution was to remove the DATADEF Virtual Directory. Everything worked out perfectly, once we removed the inner virtual directory. We should not have something like this image below  W...
