Today i was testing the new CU8 for Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R3, and after the full Compile and full CIL compile I got stuck upon the data upgrade list. The DataUpgrade job was in “Waiting” status and couldnt get it to start. After some digging and modifying the partitions to make sure the permissions were correct, it still didnt work.
With some google magic I stumbled upon the link below with a great check list for verifying if the BatchServer is configured correctly. Check it out below!
