Workflow setup in AX2012 R3 CU8

Hi Folks,

Here is the steps to setup the workflow in CU8. To setup workflow for first time, we need to setup it first.

1. First of all we need a batch group which can handle the workflow triggers and proceed workflow task, also send the the notification to users.
 Go to System admin-> Setup -> Batch Group
Add a new batch group for workflow,



Add batch server accordingly.


2. Now we need to setup the workflow parameters 
Go to System Admin -> Setup -> workflow -> Workflow parameter
  

Select workflow email template. (You may need to create a new workflow Email template)


3. Go to System Admin -> Setup -> workflow -> click on Workflow infrastructure Configuration
Now a wizard will open and Follow below steps


4. Configure the workflow message processing batch job
Select Batch group in below screen. (This may be not editable if already some records exists in respective tables)


5. Configure the workflow due date processing batch job
On next screen select same batch group and enter the number of hours for recurrence interval


6. Configure the line-item workflow notification batch job
In this screen we need to select a batch group and the number of minutes for recurrence interval of this job


7. As next screen you will have below screen to finish this process


So…. Now your system is ready for workflow process.

The table WHSWorkLineCycleCount does not contain the method WHSWorkTable.

Hi Folks,

Today i just got this error message for "WHSWorkLineCycleCount" table.  while there is no changes in standard objects. Have a look on below case and share your suggestion and feedback as well. Here i am sharing my experience with the same.

Compilation error:
The table WHSWorkLineCycleCount does not contain the method WHSWorkTable.

CIL Error:
CIL generation: Warning: CIL could not be generated for X++ method WHSWorkTableForm.sourceButton_clicked due to X++ compile errors. This method throws an exception if run as CIL.

Possible Reason:
After the configuration key "Warehouse and Transportation management" is disabled, you will get above compilation and CIL error on standard AX 

Solutions:
1. Add one method in table WHSWorkLineCycleCount named WHSWorkTable
To fix it on your environment, simply create a method with name whsWorkTable() on the WHSWorkLineCycleCount table, that returns the corresponding work based on the relation field 
2. You can also try below hotfix:

After upgrading my windows from 8 to 8.1, my dynamics ax is not working

Hi Folks,

Recently one of my collogue just update his OS from windows 8 to windows 8.1 and AX just stop working… :(  When he trying to start my AOS services its gives below error message



If you open event log you will found this error

“Object Server 01: The home directory for Axapta (C:\WINDOWS\system32\) does not match the required structure or can not be accessed. Please check installation, configuration and access rights.”

AND

“Object Server 01: The directory "C:\WINDOWS\system32\\bin" does not exist or access to it has been denied by the operating system.”

AND

“Object Server 01: Error accessing registry: Cannot open key SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Dynamics Server\6.0\01. Error code: 0”

Possible reason :
Open AX server configuration from administrator tools. Here you would see it completely empty





The problem is that registry keys located in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Dynamics Server\ were deleted during the update.



To resolve this issue You can create manually registry entry (That can be a difficult task if you are not friendly with windows registry editor), OR just reinstall the AOS and it will work.

(To open registry editor open “RUN” enter “regedit” and hit enter)

BUT…. At the end of the day its not recommended for PROD or LIVE server you can do this R&D only and only on your local or DEV environment.
All the best guys…..
