Solution:

It’s crucial to ensure that the Package zip file is unblocked before extracting it. If it’s blocked, the AXUpdateInstaller won’t be able to access the files even after they are extracted.

To verify this, one can right-click on any file in the extracted package folder, go to Properties, and look for the Unblock checkbox. If it’s unchecked, it means the file is still blocked.

This is a valuable tip for anyone working with zip files and encountering issues with the AXUpdateInstaller.

Just before extracting the zip file, right-click on it > Properties and tick Unblock. and try again.

Database log full causing Application Access issue

Hi Folks, 

Lately last day I put a 3rd party solution on my DEV box, and the build and synch were successful. But the next morning the application was not working and it was saying (with a 'Hmmm....' sound).

Interestingly, I was able to access VM and Visual stuido was working normally. All services were running fine including IIS. Tried with certificate rotation via LCS, but nothing on the Azure portal. 

(I have still didn't realized to check on event logs :) ) It was a very strange error, after spending a few min here and there, let's check on the events and it says something like the below

{"Class":17,"Number":9002,"State":2,"Message":"The transaction log for database 'AxDB' is full due to 'LOG_BACKUP'.","ErrorCode":-2146232060,"Procedure":"","LineNumber":9,"Errors":[{"Class":17,"Number":9002,"State":2,"Message":"The transaction log for database 'AxDB' is full due to 'LOG_BACKUP'.","Procedure":"","LineNumber":9,"Source":".Net SqlClient Data Provider"}],"ConnectionId":"<345234534523453>","Source":".Net SqlClient Data Provider"}

Machine: VM001-1

The Solution:

Check the MSSQL Logs drive and this must be full and running out of space. To fix this, 

1. Open SQL management Studio on VM and connect with the local server. 

2. Right-click on AXDB and select properties. Navigate to Options and set 'Recovery model' to simple.

3.  Now, right-click on ACDB, select Task > Shrik > File, and set the below values

4. Click ok and restart the WWW service, the issue should be resolved.

QuickFix: D365FO Dev Box prompting for User name and Password

Hi Folks, 

After doing get latest or build you may get the issue of accessing the environment where its keeps asking for a username and password, 

Solution:

Login into VM and check the below services if they are up and running, 

1. World Wide Web Publishing service

2. Microsoft Dynamics 365 Unified Operations: Batch Management Service

3. Microsoft Dynamics 365 Unified Operations: Data export import framework Service

Once all these services are up and running without any issues try again. 

Thanks

QuickFix: Build pipeline failing at 'Prepare for Build' step

[This is my own experience which worked for me. Pay attention to other troubleshooting as well like checking for any error on other steps, checking event viewer etc]

Issue: Build pipeline failing at step of 'Prepare for build' or it's taking a very long time, it's stuck at the below step,

/LOG:"C:\DynamicsSDK\VSOAgent\_work\1\s\Backup-AX7Packages_RoboCopy.log"

Solution: If you read the previous steps carefully it may give you some more details something like the below, 

If you RDP to your build machine and check for the folder delete this from the Build machine and try to run the pipeline, if should create this from scratch. 

/LOG:"C:\DynamicsSDK\VSOAgent\_work\1\s\Backup-AX7Packages_RoboCopy.log"

/LOG:"C:\DynamicsSDK\VSOAgent\_work\1\s\Backup-AX7Packages_RoboCopy.log"

/LOG:"C:\DynamicsSDK\VSOAgent\_work\1\s\Backup-AX7Packages_RoboCopy.log"/LOG:"C:\DynamicsSDK\VSOAgent\_work\1\s\Backup-AX7Packages_RoboCopy.log"
