1. Install Commerce Data Exchange: Async Server AX 2012 R3

Commerce Data Exchange: Async Server is part of the asynchronous system that shares data between the Microsoft Dynamics AX database and channel databases. Async Server is installed at headquarters and communicates with Microsoft Dynamics AX. In addition to Async Server, Commerce Data Exchange includes Commerce Data Exchange: Async Client, which is installed at channels and communicates with the channel database.When you install Async Server, the Retail Salt Utility is also installed. The Retail Salt Utility provides extra encryption for the passwords and credentials that are associated with the Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 for Retail system.

1. Start Microsoft Dynamics AX Setup. Under Install, select Microsoft Dynamics AX components

2. If the Setup Support files have not yet been installed on this computer, the Select a file location page is displayed. The Setup Support files are required for

installation. Provide a file location or accept the default location, and then click Next.

o App pool name – The name of the application pool that the web application runs under.

We recommend that you specify separate application pools if multiple Retail components are installed on the same computer. Multiple web applications can share an application pool if resources on the computer are limited. However, if the shared application pool fails, all of the applications that use it will stop responding. In addition, if one application is heavily used, it can negatively affect the performance of the other applications in the pool.

o Website name – The name of the website that Async Server runs on.o TCP port (optional) – The port on which Async Server receives TCP

requests. Specify a TCP port if your environment uses high-performance data synchronization. You can specify any available port. Verify that the port is open in Windows Firewall.

o AOS service user – The user account that the instance of Microsoft Dynamics AX Application Object Server (AOS) runs as.

o SSL certificate thumbprint – The thumbprint for the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption certificate. You must obtain a valid, registered certificate from a provider.
