What's New AX 2009

1)   Support for localization.
Now, with Microsoft Dynamics AX 2009, setup can now be run in some or all of the languages offered within the Microsoft Dynamics AX application.
2)   Addition of new components.
Such as Role Centers and Enterprise Portal framework, Workflow, business
intelligence features, and synchronization for Microsoft Project.
3)   Automated prerequisite installation.
AX 2009 installer automatically provides the system implementer with the option to install most prerequisite software, if that software is required but missing from the computer.
4)   Support for multiple application instances in the same directory.
In earlier versions of Microsoft Dynamics AX, it was possible to install more than one application on a computer but each application installation had to be in a separate root directory. With Microsoft Dynamics AX 2009, implementers merely supply an application instance name and the installer will allow for both applications to reside in the same folder.
5)   Add, modify, and remove components.
If there is an existing installation on a computer, and the system implementer reruns Setup, they will be given the option of adding, removing, or modifying components.
6)   Improved servicing and maintenance.
All components, other than the Application Object Server (AOS), reside in a single components installer (.msi) file so that most components can be patched by a single patch (.msp) file. Earlier versions of Microsoft Dynamics AX had multiple installer files that would require running the patch file multiple times.Combining the installer files into a single file improves the Total Cost of
Ownership for Microsoft Dynamics AX Customers.
7)   .NET Business Connector recommended for integrations.
Business Connectors enable applications that are running outside Microsoft Dynamics AX to interact with an Application Object Server (AOS) instance. The recommendation is to use the .NET Business Connector to integrate with Microsoft Dynamics AX.
The COM Business Connector is included for backward compatibility only, and is no longer available from the Setup wizard. However, for this version it can be installed from the command line. In the next release of Microsoft Dynamics AX, only the .NET Business Connector will be available.
