The consolidated GLS layer for Microsoft Dynamics AX 2009 is available

In previous releases, separate GLS layers existed for each country. For Microsoft Dynamics AX 2009, the individual GLS layers for Japan, Thailand, China, India, and Brazil were merged to create a single, consolidated GLS layer. A consolidated GLS layer makes it easier to implement a multinational deployment of Microsoft Dynamics AX.
