Workflow hierarchy limit checker for D365FO
A couple of years back I wrote a post on a workflow hierarchy limit checker job. It was a simple job that took a starting worker and traversed up the hierarchy. It printed the userid/worker/position/manager/spending limit/approval limit in an info log.
Today I rewrote it slightly to use a dialog for D365FO. Since it is not possible to change the code that easily in D365. This currently only works for Expenses. Its not pretty at the moment but it works.
I intentionally left the error in there. This will print the same error as what the workflow engine would. Hopefully this would give you a clue on where it stops.
Hopefully I can come back and extend it to the other document types such as purchase requisition and purchase orders.
Code is available on GitHub. I gave it a generic name like “Workflow plus”. I hope to add a few other nice commonly used workflow enhancements to it.
Another common enhancement I can think of is - Purchase order spending and approval limit; currently you don’t have this on the document. It is not possible to create a stop condition based on approval/spending limits
You can run the job via the url. Later hopefully I can add a menu item and security to it.

Process upload jobs encountered ProcessSourceRequestHeaderException Dynamics Ax 2012 R3.
After completing VAT patch in Dynamics Ax 2012 R3, We got error in Retail Process job.
Process upload jobs encountered ProcessSourceRequestHeaderException.

Yes one thing is clear that some fields in missing In Retail store database. On opening in AX, The same table has more fields then retail store db, these fields came with Patch. Some Sync problem. So I have to follow these steps to complete the sync

Management Reporter 2012 compatibility with Microsoft SQL Server 2017
Management Reporter 2012 is currently not compatible with Microsoft SQL Server 2017. When you try to install Management Reporter 2012 on SQL Server 2017, you receive this error:
The database deployment failed. Additional information: Microsoft.SqlServer.Dac.DacServicesException: Could not deploy package. —> Microsoft.Data.Tools.Schema.Sql.Deployment.DeploymentFailedException: Unable to connect to target server.
There are no plans to support Microsoft SQL Server 2017 with AX 2012 R3. As such, Management Reporter 2012 is also not supported with Microsoft SQL Server 2017. MR 2012 is supported with a minimum of SQL Server 2012 Standard Edition and the recommend being SQL Server 2016.

Database index analysis
I find myself fine tuning the ax database more frequently to get the best possible performance. I have noticed that sometimes the default dba scripts to rebuild, reorganize indexes and update statistics for tables don't always run properly.
I use the following to break down the current avg fragmentation for a specific table
SELECT a.index_id, name, avg_fragmentation_in_percent
FROM sys.dm_db_index_physical_stats (DB_ID(N',<database name>'),
OBJECT_ID(N'dbo.<table name>'), NULL, NULL, NULL) AS a
JOIN sys.indexes AS b
ON a.object_id = b.object_id AND a.index_id = b.index_id;
I also use the following script to look at overall indexes which may need attention. The below will generate the commands to rebuild or reorganize a fragmented index along with updating a specific tables index instead of relaying on the dba scripts.
DECLARE @fragmentPercent int = 30;
SELECT OBJECT_NAME(ind.OBJECT_ID) AS Tablename,
ind.name AS IndexName, indexstats.index_type_desc AS IndexType,
indexstats.avg_fragmentation_in_percent,
'ALTER INDEX ' + ind.name + ' ON ' + OBJECT_NAME(ind.OBJECT_ID) + ' REBUILD;' as RebuildIndex,
'ALTER INDEX ' + ind.name + ' ON ' + OBJECT_NAME(ind.OBJECT_ID) + ' REORGANIZE;' as ReorganizeIndex,
'UPDATE STATISTICS ' + OBJECT_NAME(ind.OBJECT_ID) + ' WITH FULLSCAN;' as UpdateStatics
FROM sys.dm_db_index_physical_stats(DB_ID(), NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL) indexstats
INNER JOIN sys.indexes ind
ON ind.object_id = indexstats.object_id
AND ind.index_id = indexstats.index_id
WHERE indexstats.avg_fragmentation_in_percent >= @fragmentPercent and indexstats.index_type_desc <> 'HEAP'
ORDER BY indexstats.avg_fragmentation_in_percent DESC![]()

Get all users missing a worker relationship assignment or retail channel
I found that sometimes when setting up a large amount of users in AX for retail it can lead to sometimes missing a worker relation configuration or missing a retail channel assignment. When this happens it wont break anything but some odd ball things can start to happen. I use the following job to make sure all of the users have at least a worker assignment and are assigned to a retail channel (when valid)
static void CheckUserSetup(Args _args)
{
UserInfo userNames;
DirPersonUser userRelations;
MCRChannelUser retailChannelUsers;
//find any users that are missing either a user relation or retail channel setup
while select * from userNames
outer join userRelations
where userRelations.User == userNames.id
outer join retailChannelUsers
where retailChannelUsers.User == userNames.id
{
//check to see if there is a user relation
if(!userRelations)
{
info(strFmt("No User Relation: %1 (%2)", userNames.id, userNames.name));
}
//check to see if the user is in a retail channel
if(!retailChannelUsers)
{
info(strFmt("No Retail Channel: %1 (%2)", userNames.id, userNames.name));
}
}
}![]()
