AX 4: Import from XPO - need help

[Hugon]

Hi All
Do you know way how to import table's new fields and field groups ONLY from XPO file?

[glibs]

You can use compare layers utility. This function is available in import dialog. Compare your USR with .XPO there. There you can open objects from the project from your USR and from .XPO in separate windows. For fields, field groups and groups on forms and reports it is convenient to use drag-&-drop from .XPO to your USR.

Brilliant! I uploaded most of tables and forms using this way. But I have problem this doesn't work for EmplTable. I have SYS and BUS layers in EmplTable and I tried upload second one (BUS). Can't do this. Any ideas why?

[glibs]

What exactly the system does not allow you to do?

[Ivanhoe]

I can't drag table's fields and fieldgroups - is it correct? With forms it works fine.

P.S. I use not USR but VAR layer.

I can't drag fields, field groups from EmplTable

In DAX 4.0 it 's not possible to use drug&drop for table fields and field groups, but in DAX5.0 it's allowed for table fields (but not for field groups )

I can't agree with you :-)
I can drag&drop fields between tables from XPO and AX layer in DAX 4.0, ie. tables created by me and then when I am updating this table using import I can do this operation. For some reasons this doesn't work ie. for EmplTable.
