AX to Robots post-migration activities

After you have migrated or recreated your organization's scripts and any data, and recreated automated processes in Robots, move on to the post-migration activities.

Task/Activity Details
If applicable, install Direct Link on the server where the Robots Agent is installed

If you have been using Direct Link with AX to access SAP data you need to do one of the following:

  • Install Direct Link to work with the Robots Agent
  • Transition to using the ACL Connector for SAP (the SAP Connector) instead of Direct Link

    See Connecting to SAP.
Test viewing output results in Analytics See Viewing the tables, files, and logs in an ACL robot.
Compare Robots and AX output results

You should run AX and Robots in parallel for a period of time and compare output results from the same automated processes in each application.

Assuming you have not changed the logic of the process in Robots, output results should be identical.
Set up user and admin access to the Robots app and individual robots

See Robots app permissions.
Develop a plan for legacy AX data

Your organization's AX installation may contain a large amount of legacy data. Organizational policy, and laws in your jurisdiction, may require that you preserve accessible copies of the data for a specified period of time.

Work with the appropriate stakeholders in your organization, and your Diligent account representative, to plan an orderly process for archiving or purging legacy AX data.
