Override existing DB
Now If you want you can override the existing empty environment database with a backup copy of your UAT or Production Environment Database.
To do that you can download your DB backup from LCS
So opena again LCS and click on “Asset library”
Click on db backup and download it
…Wait several minutes…
After download is completed Go to to this link https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/tools/sqlpackage-download?view=sql-server-ver15 and download “Windows .NET Core” Zip file and extract it to a folder
Open a cmd prompt window and paste this script
SqlPackage.exe /a:import /sf:C:\Users\Admin95bf664719\Desktop\UATbackup.bacpac /tsn:localhost /tdn:AxDB_fromUAT /p:CommandTimeout=0
where C:\Users\Admin95bf664719\Desktop\UATbackup.bacpac is the path of the backup file and AxDB_fromUAT is the target DB
…..Depending on your DB size this operation could take up to 4 hours…..
After completion you have to switch the current database with the one
To do that rename the current AxDB in AxDB_OLD and the AxDB_fromUAT in AxDB.
Before renaming you must disable 3 services and do some SQL script
Open Services and temporary disable these 3 services
Now open a new SSMS session, connect to AxDB and launch this script to rename the current AxDB to AxDB_OLD
ALTER DATABASE AxDB
SET SINGLE_USER WITH ROLLBACK IMMEDIATE
ALTER DATABASE AxDB MODIFY NAME = AxDB_OLD
ALTER DATABASE AxDB_OLD
SET MULTI_USER WITH ROLLBACK IMMEDIATE
Then manually rename the new AxDB_fromUAT to AxDB
Remember to restart the 3 previosly disabled services
Now you can connect to your D365FO cloud hosted environment
