Powershell command modifies MorphX objects directly in the AOT - Confirm layer

[AlexHimself]

The PowerShell command Set-AXReportDataSource modifies the MorphX object in the AOT under \SSRS Reports\Report Datasources\DynamicsAXOLAP (or whatever your DataSourceName parameter is).

Confirm by examining the AOT and verify the change is in the correct layer. The -ServicesFilePath switch on the PowerShell command does not seem to work correctly to get in the desired layer in all instances of AX.

If change is in the wrong layer, export the MorphX object via XPO, delete it from incorrect layer, then connect to correct layer and import XPO.

Thanks for the feedback. We don't plan to update the topic.

At https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamicsax-2012/set-axreportdatasource it is documented that -ServicesFilePath allows you to use a client configuration (.AXC).

You don't want to let users know this does not work?
