I’ve been doing this a lot recently so I decided to share with you how to rebuild the Data Mart for Management Reporter 2012.
- Close all instances of MR and back up the Management Reporter database
- Start the Configuration Console and click on “Integration” under ERP integrations

10. Configure Management Reporter

Management Reporter needs to know how to connect to the AOS (Provide the name of the AOS server) and the SQL database (Server name and database name) and which user to connect with, so provide that information in the Dynamics AX2012 connection information. In the Data Mart Connection Information provide the Database server, and a username and password (If the user you are using can create the necessary databases you can use “Windows authentication”).
11. Click Close when it’s finished

12. Return to the Configuration Console and select your new integration. Click Enable Integration.

13. The initial integration takes about 5-10 minutes depending on the server, but I’ve also seen this take up to one hour.

14. Once the integration finishes, the data mart rebuild is complete.
Good luck!
