Update:

New update released on LCS version 2.0.29.0 (dated April 29th 2015)

 

Issue

Issues Description

Fix

During IDMF Post install step - check MSDTC enabled failing -  Package Error: CheckMSDTCEnabled" - Failed to acquire connection  "ProductionDB" - Error Code 0x8004D00E

This issue happens when there are two versions of SQL Server components installed for eg.11.0 and 12.0. But IDMF is having the SQL Server Integration services 11.0 only.

 During the PostInstallation tasks the application will try to execute the SSIS packages using the Microsoft.SqlServer.ManagedDTS(12.0) dll, which is creating the problem as SQL Server Integration services 12.0 is not present on this machine.

 

The changes in the hotfix ensures to check which version of SSIS is installed in the machine and load the dll of that particular version to execute the SSIS package.

 The fix will now load the versions of SSIS supported by IDMF from the config file and will check which version of MsDtsServer is installed in the machine through registry. Then it will load only the dll corresponding to the version installed in Registry

 

 Issues with Purging using IDMF  2.0 - Exception while executing PurgeStep 'Delete' for node 1 - Could not load file or assembly

The issues was due to incorrect version number mentioned for the dlls in the file GlobalAssemblyInfo.cs, which resulted in the build dlls not getting the 2.0.28.0 version, which is creating the problem.

 

The dlls pointing in the App.config are of version 2.0.28.0, but the dlls generated during dll build were of version 2.0.27.0

 The changes in the hotfix to have the correct version at all places i.e 2.0.29.0

    Replica database is used for jobs like Analysis snapshot and reduces lot of read calls to production system.

    Regarding purge based on financial year, we don't support today. Which entities you are planning to purge based on financial year closed?

    Thanks Piyush for the information. Answer to other question Yes Purge should be done based on the  closed financial year.One more question Can we change the purge parameter at runtime? for eg i gave SalesTable createdDate as <= 15-01-2014 first time purge. On a next run i just need to change the date at runtime as <=15-02-2014.

    Once template is created, you can schedule jobs based on different dates.If you are talking about recurring job, you can define date as today - n days. Please let me know if you are talking about different scenario.

    @Marappan.S: When you schedule purge job it will ask for date. While creation of template please leave the date as disabled field.

    @Juan: Yes you are correct, AXSummationProject62 has logic to do summation for bifiscal period template. This code is internally used by IDMF and not intended to be changed by customers/partners.

    @Marappan, archive templates are built using standard AX. Please update and validate templates based on your customizations before running them.

    Hi Patrick, In my case I replicated the Production:model DB to a new DB named IDMF_model, and now the AOS is live and running. Ax 2012 AOS search for a database with the same name as data DB ended with "_model" for the model store DB. Hope this help you.

    @agrawalpiyush we are now try to use IDMF 2.0 for AX2009 data archive. Everything is ok, but except the InventTrans, LedgerTrans table. It is not allow us to archive. According to your previous post, we found the AxSummationProject50 project in DAX 2009. And we believe the hidden function fiscal template function can help us to do archive for the 2 tables. So we try to update the config file with set ShowByFiscalTemplate = true. But we cannot find any parameter named ShowByFiscalTemplate in the config file. Do you have any suggestion for it? Do you think what's the best way to archive data for Inventtrans and LedgerTrans table in DAX 2009? It is very helpful to us to have you feedback. Thanks.

    Hi, please could anyone tell me if the IDMF continues to use the AOS when it is analyzing / monitoring the replica database, or does it not need the AOS for anything more than the initial installation and ongoing synchronisation tasks? Thanks!
