The Microsoft Dynamics AX 2016 release is one of the most highly anticipated product releases the Dynamics community has seen in years. Now it’s almost here. This video shows some of the Tweets and other conversations around the Dynamics AX 2016 new version.

The above video focuses on the new cloud capabilities in the upcoming 2016 release of Dynamics AX, aka Dynamics AX7.  You can learn more about turning your current version of Dynamics AX into a hybrid or fully cloud enabled solution on our Hosted Dynamics AX Cloud page.

“The ability for Microsoft and AX7 to support a hybrid cloud environment is really essential to meeting the real needs of customers,” said Josh Greenbaum, Principal Analyst with Enterprise Applications Consulting.  “When you combine that with LCS, Lifecycle Services, and the Azure Cloud, the offering takes a competitive leapfrog ahead of anyone else in the industry.”

However, if your business is a publicly traded organization or needs to adhere to SOX regulations, you know there are important compliance considerations you must address before moving a financial system to a cloud environment.  Learn more about ERP cloud and responding to regulatory compliance here: Microsoft Dynamics Cloud Security and Compliance page.

Dynamics AX 2016 post, quotation marks

“What we see is a lot of investment in user interface and making it much more usable for end users, but also taking advantage of the broader suite of Microsoft capabilities.” Rebecca Wettemann, VP Research with Nucleus Research, about the Dynamics AX 2016 release.

 

Dynamics AX is Microsoft’s most powerful enterprise resource planning solution and is a favorite among large enterprises in industries like manufacturing, retail and life sciences.  The upcoming release of the newest version has gone by many names over the past several months, including Dynamics AX Rainier, AX7 and now just Microsoft Dynamics AX.

DIXF – Cannot Preview source file – CommunicationException – An error occurred while receiving the HTTP response from DMFServiceHelper.svc

Consider a scenario where you are importing data using DIXF, and you get an error when you try to “Preview source file”.

1. The error

The error you see looks something like this:

System.ServiceModel.CommunicationException: An error occurred while receiving the HTTP response to http://servernamehere:7000/DMFService/DMFServiceHelper.svc. This could be due to the service endpoint binding not using the HTTP protocol. This could also be due to an HTTP request context being aborted by the server (possibly due to the service shutting down).

We also see these sorts of events in the Windows Event Log:

Event 1026- .NET Runtime – Application: Microsoft.Dynamics.AX.DMF.SSISHelperService.exe – The process was terminated due to an unhandled exception – exception code 1

Event 1000- Application Error – Faulting application name: Microsoft.Dynamics.AX.DMF.SSISHelperService.exe, version: 6.2.1000.4051, time stamp: 0x5272cc67 – Faulting module name: KERNELBASE.dll, version: 6.3.9600.17055

2. Minimum requirements

We support running AX 2012 R3, AX 2012 R2 CU7, and AX 2012 CU7 on SQL Server 2012 SP2CU2 or higher.

TechNet Blogs »  Dynamics AX In-Market Engineering »  Announcing Support for SQL Server, SharePoint, and Office 2013 Service Packs as well as Visual Studio Team Foundation Server and Visual Studio Online   http://blogs.technet.com/b/dynamicsaxse/archive/2014/10/09/announcing-support-for-sql-server-sharepoint-and-office-2013-service-packs-as-well-as-visual-studio-team-foundation-server-and-visual-studio-online.aspx

Check the system requirements for details:

Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 System Requirements   https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/download/details.aspx?id=11094

3. Solution

The fix for this SSIS issue is included in SQL Server 2012 SP2 CU2:

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2991528

Please patch your SQL Server 2012 SP2 components to CU2 or higher. The highest available Cumulative Update (CU) for SQL Server 2012 SP2 is currently CU9, so I would recommend going with that build at this point in time.

Cumulative update package 9 for SQL Server 2012 SP2   https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3098512

Please implement this in TESTfirst, before rolling out in PROD, in line with your change management processes.

Today I had to troubleshoot the Inventory journal DMF import, which previously working fine. But somehow it start to throw “Lot ID not specified. Import cancel. Hour of hours debugging reveals nothing. Finally I found some warnings in Database synchronize. These warnings described some index errors on DMF entity tables and need to drop and recreate them.

So I delete the DMFInventJournalEntity  table at SQL Server level and from AOT right click on table and click on synchronize. This recreate the require table at SQL server level.

Or ignore the old entity create a new entity and import data with that.

Speech Recognition in UWP

January 15, 2016, 10:16 am

In Windows 10 the Microsoft’s voice assistant Cortana was introduce and came as a part of desktop. A small Cortana query box is sitting on the right side of the Start button, ready to take a voice command. In order to launch it, one should always start the phrase with “Hey Cortana” or activate Cortana by clicking on the box to listen.

Cortana voice command

You can enrich your app by extending Cortana using voice commands. An app can be launched in the foreground or background. Besides launching, voice commands can require additional context or user input in order to fulfill and perform some task.

This approach is more suitable if you want to personalize Cortana to “improve it to your assistant”. By integrating extended Cortana functionalities using voice command directly in your app, user can perform action without opening the app at the first place. This can be observed as a shortcut to your app functionalities.

Cortana is built on top of speech recognition API, but instead of using SRGS format for your grammar the developer should use VCD format.

Speech recognition

You can enrich your app by using the Speech Recognition API. An app can accomplish tasks using the speech recognition by converting spoken words into texts and perform actions based on some business logic in behind. It can also capture dictated text/phrases.

This approach is more suitable if you need to perform some actions within the app by using verbal interaction.

Using Speech Recognition in UWP example

The speech recognition classes are located in the Windows.Media.SpeechRecognition namespace. Audio permission classes are located in the Windows.Media.Capture namespace.

The page that will contain voice interaction implemented, will run a speech recognizer in the background. The recognizer will listen for commands defined in the SRGS file and raise events as you speak.

The Speech Recognition Grammar Specification (SRGS) is an industry-standard format for describing the phrases to be recognized. You will define verbal commands using SRGS. In the SRGS example below, the command is to select an item with an id that contains only digits. The length of id is 1-N.

SRGS Grammar

Initialize the recognizer

The speech recognizer may be initialized in the OnNavigateTo event. The following steps are needed to initialize a continuous recognition session using an SRGS grammar:

  • Check for permissions
  • Initialize the SpeechRecognizer object
  • Load and compile the SRGS grammar
  • Listen for the ResultGenerated event, which is raised as words are spoken
  • Start the continuous recognition session

Handle speech results

Your app will receive a continuous stream of results via the ResultGenerated event. The listener for this event must do the following:

  • Determine whether the result is a successful recognition
  • Determine whether the result has sufficient confidence
  • Determine the appropriate response / business logic.

Production cost estimates for raw materials that use FIFO valuation methodology in Dynamics AX 2012 R3

I recently worked with a customer whom was in the process of implementing the Production control module in Dynamics AX 2012 R3. Specifically they were trying to figure out why costs weren’t being estimated on Production orders for Components\Raw materials that used a FIFO valuation methodology. Specifically, the scenario was as follows:

–  The finished good item, FG, used a FIFO Item model group.

–  The component item, COMP, also used a FIFO Item model group.

–  The component item, COMP, had an Inventory movement journal that was posted establishing an On-hand quantity of 100 ea’s at a Cost price of $1.11.

Screenshot1

–  The On-hand for the COMP item reflected a Quantity of 100 ea’s and a Financial cost amount of $111.00, with a FIFO’s Average Cost Price of $1.11.

Screenshot2

– At this point in time, a Production Order is created for the FG Item and the Production order is estimated. When you review the results of the Cost estimation of the FG Production order, the cost for the COMP component item does not get picked up.

Screenshot3

Why doesn’t the Cost estimation for the COMP get picked up on the FG estimated Production order? It doesn’t get picked up on the Estimated Production order because it isn’t able to determine what to estimate an average cost price at that point in time. In order to have the COMP FIFO item to have estimated costs picked up in the Price calculation for the FG production order, one of the following should be true:

1.  If on the COMP item, you have the ‘Use latest cost price’ option marked, then the posting of the Inventory movement journal establishing On-hand quantity of 100 ea’s at a Cost price of $1.11 would have written the cost price record into the INVENTITEMPRICE table. When you do an Estimation on a Production order for FG that involves the COMP item, it would have used that $1.11 INVENTITEMPRICE record and calculated $1.11 Cost price per unit for COMP on the estimated FG Production order.

Screenshot4

2.  If you have a cost price specified on the Manage costs tab of the Released product details form for the COMP item, the estimation of a Production order for FG that involves this COMP item will have picked up the $1.11 cost price.

Screenshot5

 

For those of you struggling with understanding how FIFO component items costs might be picked up in a Production order estimation scenario, I hope that this helps!

Dynamics AX7 Development 3–Create a new form

Lets have a look at creating a form. This is probably a little more exciting than the previous posts. As this is totally new to AX7.

Right click and Add > New

Select the Form object from the AX7 Artifacts

2016-01-14_1558

Initially it will show the pattern as unspecified. This is something we should always set if we expect our form to work across platforms (browsers). Otherwise we can set it to custom and it is free form. Which is a bit messy and unsupported.

2016-01-14_1600

Right click the Design and apply a pattern.

2016-01-14_1601

Once you have applied a pattern the bottom part of the form will show you the expected pattern. Now it is a matter of filling it up with the required control types.

Lets right click New > control we want to add.

2016-01-14_1608

Once you have added all your required controls.

Drag the table from the AOT to the Data Sources node. It should look something like this.

2016-01-14_1611

Now you can preview by clicking the tab.

2016-01-14_1613

Build your VS project. There should be no errors.

If you want to debug and run in a browser. Make sure to set the object as your Start Object.

The Process Challenges in Automation Testing

January 17, 2016, 11:56 pm

Regression suite is often the candidate for automation since it contains bigger number of test cases and covers the most important areas of the software. In agile environments, automation is ongoing activity and the main emphasis should be put on building the proper framework.

However, there are several challenges which appear during the process:

  1. Automating the complete application: Automating 100% application is a big task which needs a good strategy. It requires proper planning and monitoring since there are lots of permutations and combinations of data.
  2. Important test cases: How to decide which test cases are more important than others? We should have a criteria which will decide for us. These criteria can vary and depend on multiple factors (i.e. complex business logic, areas which are of more interest to clients, risk prone areas).
  3. Deciding on the framework: Framework is the most important part of the automation. More time should be devoted to developing the appropriate framework than to scripting test cases. This is also an area where testers should get full support from the development team – usually it is needed to adapt the existing or even to develop brand new automation framework. If the framework is rock solid, scripting and maintaining becomes easy.
  4. Scripting knowledge: For automation, it is very important to know the scripting language. However, the emphasis should be on the logic itself. Also, automation should not be the responsibility of some handful resources, rather entire team should contribute towards it. This will enhance the team skills and improve the collaboration among the team members.
  5. Reporting: Every tool has a standard to report the test results. However, sometimes these generic reports do not suite our needs. Customizing the reports can be challenging task which will require good planning and maintenance.

Enterprise Portal on SharePoint 2013 – form resets

We got several requests when user where complaining that form resets.

Ie. User was selecting the customers on customer page, we could see that suddenly the page resets and only first customer has been selected. We could also see the issue on some forms when user fills data in. Suddenly all data disappeared.

When we took network traces we cold see that if it takes more than 30 seconds between the server requests (POST/GET), the authentication token gets invalid and it forces to perform a silent authentication roundtrip. This means that the page is reloaded with the original values, cleaning any change you’ve done.

To fix the issue we need to install two hotfixes:

– SharePoint hotfix Dec 2014 Cumulative Update for SharePoint 2013 (15.0.4675.1000) : https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/stefan_gossner/2014/12/09/december-2014-cu-for-sharepoint-2013-has-been-released/

Revisiting the Data Import Export Framework

I had a chance recently to revisit using the DIXF on a new project we have to integrate data from multiple ERP's. The target environment is AX 2012 R3 CU10 with the latest and greatest DIXF. I have covered DIXF in previous posts and talked about it Data Migration presentations as s good tool if you can get it to work. In my revisit test, I found it quick and easy to bring in the complete Chart of Accounts (Main Accounts) from AX 2009. 


Environment


  • AX 2012 R3 CU10
  • Blank database, initialization checklist completed.
  • SQL 2014 components installed

Process

  1. After initialization complete, I setup a 64 bit User DSN in ODBC
  2. Create a test company in AX 2012
  3. Create a fiscal calendar in General Ledger - Setup - Fiscal Calendar 
  4. Setup the basic Ledger in General Ledger - Setup - Ledger. Chose the Calendar I had created and currency.
  5. In DIXF setup a Source Data format for an ODBC connection created in Step 1 
  6.  Create a processing group in DIXF 

  7. Select Entities and choose the Main Account Entity
  8. Click Modify source mapping and update the map 
  9. One note as AX 2009 does not have the Chart of Accounts option and this is a required field in 2012, I hard coded this in the mapping the the "Shared" accounts I chose above. With a string value. You do this by clicking Mapping details, adding a new row, select the destination field and select default value. 
  10. Then you are all set, from Processing Group click Get Staging Data and then Copy data to Target. Total time about 20 minutes to get a complete set of Main Accounts in the system.
