Ax 2012 data upgrade on the self-service environment hosted on the Europe region (eu.lcs.dynamics.com).

When you run the DataMigrationTool.exe application a console window opens where you can specify the cloud environment type:

• Public: [ lcs.dynamics.com ]
• GCC: [ gov.lcs.microsoftdynamics.us ]
• UAE: [ uae.lcs.dynamics.com ]

As you can see, there are no options to select the EU or European option for LCS geography. As a result, if your environment is hosted in the European LCS region, you will not be able to proceed with the data upgrade.

To solve this issue, you need to do the following:

    1. Edit the "DataMigrationTool.exe.config" file. It is located in the folder where you extracted 

    the Data Migration Toolkit. 

    2. You need to find the lines: 

    <add key="lcsApiEndpoint" value="https://lcsapi.lcs.dynamics.com/" />

    <add key="lcsApiEndpoint_us" value="https://lcsapi.gov.lcs.microsoftdynamics.us/" />

    <add key="lcsApiEndpoint_uae" value="https://lcsapi.uae.lcs.dynamics.com/" />

    3. Modify the line: 

    <add key="lcsApiEndpoint" value="https://lcsapi.lcs.dynamics.com/" />

    It should be like this:

    <add key="lcsApiEndpoint" value="https://lcsapi.eu.lcs.dynamics.com/" />

    4. Run the DataMigrationTool.exe application again and select the default option. 

    It should now point to the EU LCS geography.

As a result, you should be able to proceed with the data upgrade on the self-service environment hosted in the Europe region (https://eu.lcs.dynamics.com/).
