How to enable debugging on Server

How to enable debugging on Server

In most of the cases, our X++ classes have to be executing within the server (AOS). In a default deployment, we're not able to debug server code.

To have this Dynamics AX feature, we must enable it in ‘Microsoft Dynamics AX Server Configuration Utility’ tool (within 'Administrative Tools' menu).

You may need to use the Manage button to Create a new Configuration. Then, on the first tab, Application Object Server, make sure that the check box option "Enable breakpoints to debug X++ code running on this server" is checked.

There is a direct registry key to do it, too. (but this way may be not supported):

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Dynamics Server\4.0\01\ Original (installed configuration)]

"xppdebug"="1"

Form class and tables are used by a specific Dynamics AX form/functional

How to find out which Form class and tables are used by a specific Dynamics AX form/functional 

Hi Friends,


This Technique will help you every where when you need to find the back End of any form report.

This is a basic tip for developers who are starting with Dynamics AX. So, to find the form class and tables that are used by a functional process (like when you are executing and seeing an AX form), what we need to do first is to find out the form class name. To find the AOT form class name, open that form that's used in a process and Right-click on the form (over any record, for example) and select Setup. From there we can see the Form class definition and drill down to see all the tables it is using and so on.

In red circle you found the table/Class name and its respective field.
For practice just  choose a form and try to find all related tables and used fields.
this will very help full for you to under stand the Form.

Troubleshooting Error: No License code available for language

Troubleshooting Error: No License code available for language EN-US. Please use a licensed language

Hi there,

 I was setting up an AX Instance from an existing  database backup and I hit this below error.

Error: No License code available for language EN-US. Please use a licensed language

Event Viewer Error: The Microsoft Dynamics AX Application Object Server is running on an operating system that is not supported. The supported operating system is Microsoft Windows Server 2003 with Service Pack 1.

Solution:

The language for the startup user needs to be setup as per the installation

update dbo.USERINFO set LANGUAGE = 'EN-AU', HELPLANGUAGE = 'EN-AU' where ID = 'Admin'

Enjoy...
