I was working with ODBC and i found this error, On searching i have found this article.
Cannot execute the required database operation.
The operation failed.

Searching on the Internet I found the following post in Microsoft Support:

However, after read that I thought that my problem should be due to my code, so i have decided to take a fresh and closer look on code and i found

So, in conclusion: I made a stupid mistake, This error is shown if you try to get an index that you previously obtained before.

How I fooled myself for 5 years…
I’m working quite a long time at a customer now. In August 2013, I was (re)hired to help on a migration from Dynamics AX4 to Dynamics AX 2012. As I had worked at this customer before, I know about some issues related to performance of the ledger balances. Now in AX2012 the update of balances were different. During posting of accounting entries, records in a table called “Dimension set unprocessed transactions” are inserted. A batch job will take care of updating the balances. Now how did I fool myself?
The background
I have written about this topic in the past as well. That post was related to performance which can be read here: “Rebuild balances in ax 2012 – Do you have a minute or more…”
Update of balances should be scheduled as a batch job to have the dimension set balances updated. When opening e.g. the Trial balance list page, the update balances job is also run for the dimension set selected on the list page. This is real-time processing and the user has to wait for this job to be completed.
The reason for this is to ensure that the report is mentioning the latest actual amounts. I had checked the behavior and noticed that the records related to the selected dimension sets were indeed processed and updated in the balances. Other unprocessed transactions did remain in the table. Now closer to the point where I got a wrong assumption…
When you plan for scheduling a batch job, you will be prompted with a Financial dimension set. At this customer we do have more than 20 dimension sets active. We decided to plan the 10 most used dimension sets to run every 10 minutes. Effective it did start one each minute. Sounds logical, right?
The clue
There were some blockings on the balance tables and I started the investigation where it came from. I thought, we possibly also had to schedule additional sets. But then also consider available threads, avoid possible deadlocks, etc. During measurements, I noticed that all unprocessed transactions were picked up by one single batch job which was (I thought) set to run only one dimension set. This appeared to be true. I also have checked the coding of the class which handles this batch job. Indeed, it is NOT using the parameter when running in batch. Even the default task description of the batch job is giving you the idea that it runs for a single dimension set. It is only used when you run the update balances manually on the client. So, in fact, we did already run every dimension set for every minute… Now we changed the batch settings to run only one batch job with a given recurrence which gives the batch jobs form a better overview with less tasks.
What about the blockings?
Well, we have to find out if the blockings were caused by a full rebuild due to a consolidation or year-end process. Possibly there will be a need to be able to not only rebuild for a given company or dimension set, but also a given fiscal year or even a shorter period. But this will be part of a further analysis…
That’s all for now. Till next time!

Resource Forecasts in Dynamics 365 for Project Service Automation
One significant benefit of using Dynamics 365 for Project Service Automation (PSA) is the structured approach to allocating project resources. Resource requests can be fulfilled quickly and effectively, which increases resource utilization and helps to deliver successful projects. Using resource requests, bookings and actuals, we can also derive a picture of what skills, roles, service lines, and other resource attributes are in demand and which may be in short supply when considering things like industry trends, opportunity pipeline and the like. In this post, I’ll walk through how to extend the set of built-in analytics that comes with PSA to gain insights in how skills and roles are distributed in your organization and how they match up against anticipated demands based on the opportunity pipeline. In the attachment there is an example of one of the views you can build with this model, and answers the question “How Does my capacity by role align to demands in my future projects”.
Please see the attached document for the steps on making the changes required to open up these capabilities.

Dynamics AX 365 insert not allowed for field ‘XXXX'”,”type”:”System.InvalidOperationException”
I was working on creating the new Data entity related to Case Details on Dynamics ax 365, The creation went well and simple. when i tried to consume the new Data entity from odata client using c#, i got this exception.
An error occurred while processing this request.{
“error”:{
“code”:””,”message”:”An error has occurred.”,”innererror”:{

}
}
}
This error is related to CaseId field on Case Details, after enough investigation i found that validatefield method from corresponding table is being fired and not allowing manual insertion on CaseId field. As this field is Number sequence bound. But our requirement was to create the case using custom value provided from Odata client using c#.
After enough research i got the clue to skip the table level validation from data entity. So i have decided to modify the data entity and override following methods and skip the table level validation for the CaseId field.
Thanks

Consuming Dynamics AX 365FO Data entities using Web API (Part 3)
Hi Guys,
This is with the 3rd and final part of same demo, In this post we will see what is the code we need to write on wep api project to get the data from Dynamics ax 365. In this post we will be reading the purchase order data from Dynamics ax 365. In case if you have not read the previous two parts then follow these links
To start with, we need to add few dll references on Web api project. Please make sure Microsoft.OData.Client dll should be of same version what we have referenced in AuthenticationUtility and ODataUnity project(These projects are previously discussed in last blogs).
using Manage Nuget Package option we can install package for Microsoft.OData.Client
Now with the simple coding part, we need to reference following dll.
I have created this initConfiguration method to authenticate my call using Azure, GetAuthenticationHeader method is given on OAuthHelper class, we will pass true for web api projects.
Then i have created this fillOrder method to fill the list based on the query i have read from Dynamics ax 365 for purchase orders.
This is the main web api method for reading the purchase orders, i am reading top 50 for now.
After all this simple coding and all the configuration effort, when i click run on the project, i got this cool browser with my results of orders.
This is the result after all the effort,
