# Set up default connectors for data migration project

You can migrate data from an AX2012 database to D365 F&SCM. To generate data migration messages based on selected tables, default connectors are required on the project.

Define these default connectors for your data migration project:

- Database connector to connect to the AX2012 database.
- D365 F&SCM connector to connect to the current D365 F&SCM environment.

Make sure the right application is defined for these connectors.

### Steps

1. Click **Connectivity studio - Integration Design**.
2. Click **Projects**.

> [!NOTE]
> **Note**

> Your currently active project opens. This is the project as shown in the **Project** field on the **Integration design** workspace. Make sure your data migration project is selected.
3. Click **Edit**.
4. Expand the **Default connector** section.
5. Click **New**.
6. In the **Connector** field, enter or select a value.
7. In the **Initialize** field, you can keep the default value '**No**'.
